Is the Marilyn Monroe Plastic Surgery True?

It is claimed that Marilyn Monroe had surgical procedures done to her nose and chin to enhance her beauty.

This was due to people referring to her as a chinless wonder that greatly bruised her self-esteem. John Pangman who is alleged to be her surgeon carried out a cartilage graft procedure on her flat chin to correct it. Norman Leaf and John Pangman are also said to have done a procedure on the tip of the star’s nose.

Before and after pictures available of the star clearly, portray that she had a procedure done on her nose and chin. In addition, she died her red hair to blonde.
