Plastic country aficionado Katie Price has opened up connected however feels astir the mode she looks earlier her galore procedures. The bonafide nationalist treasure told writer Louis Theroux connected his caller podcast that: "Ever since I was small and adjacent erstwhile I was a exemplary I ne'er looked astatine myself and told myself I was pretty. When radical amusement maine aged pictures of myself erstwhile I archetypal started retired and I had nary enactment done, I'm ever conscionable similar 'ugh'....I look backmost and I deliberation 'rough'. I consciousness similar I was disgusting. "

However, contempt the information Katie prefers her post-surgery looks galore of procedures person gone wrong. The mum-of-five burst onto the country arsenic a fresh-faced 17-year-old model, and ever since, fans person seen her alteration her quality implicit the years to support a much youthful look. However the TV star, who recently returned from Turkey to person her sixth facelift, has denied that it's astir appearing younger than she is.

Katie, 46, told Radio 4's Women's Hour successful March this year: "I don't person country to look younger. I don't cognize what it is, but I decidedly person a narration with the surgery, I think, astir not feeling astir apt bully enough, oregon needy, oregon not precise pretty." Her astir caller stint nether the weapon near her "struggling to see" and "feeling sore" during her recovery.

The rigmarole of flying location wrapped successful bandages did not faze her, arsenic she has 17 bosom augmentations, eyelifts, a chemoreceptor occupation and countless different 'tweakments'. But it came aft her surgeon warned her against having further procedures, not lone owed to putting herself physically astatine risk, but besides implicit his interest astir feeding her 'addiction'.

London-based Dr Jeya Prakash, who gave Katie her archetypal 2 boob jobs erstwhile she changeable to fame arsenic glamour exemplary Jordan, ended up refusing to run connected the star. He told the Mirror: "I've known Katie since 1996. The archetypal clip she came successful wanting a bosom augmentation, which I did, she was happy. She came backmost wanting different one, which I did. But past she came a 3rd time, and I said no, due to the fact that she seemed to person an addiction to country with what she wanted to do."

Issuing a last warning, helium said: "She's a small, petite lady. I ever archer her that a squirrel shouldn't person elephant breasts." Katie - who has spoken astir having ADHD and PTSD - has adjacent experienced immoderate nasty complications.

In 2017, a ‘botched’ facelift needed to beryllium corrected, aft the threads that were stitched nether her temples led to agonising skin-puckering beneath her eyes. And, aft leaving the Celebrity Big Brother location successful 2015, she was seen clutching her chest, aft revealing that her bosom simplification country had gone wrong.

Considering the magnitude of country she has had and her vulnerability, should surgeons inactive beryllium giving her cosmetic ops? Dr Prakash, who was acrophobic astir the star's emotion of surgery, besides denied her a facelift erstwhile she came into his bureau successful 2022.

“I said she doesn't request a facelift. Then she went to different places wherever radical didn’t look aft her health, they looked aft her image. Health is precise important.” He expressed interest implicit reports of Katie’s blurred imaginativeness aft her astir caller facelift, adding: “That’s incorrect due to the fact that the muscles that moved the eyelid should not beryllium disturbed.”

While facelifts bash not past forever, Dr Prakash besides recommends 15 years to beryllium near betwixt each. “I person 1 patient, she's 80 years aged and she’s had 3 facelifts," helium says. "The archetypal 1 I did erstwhile she was 50. The 2nd 1 I did erstwhile she was 65, past erstwhile she was 80 - 3 months ago. She is acceptable and healthy. The wellness of the diligent is the astir important thing. Ideally, a diligent would dispersed retired their lifts 15 years isolated to springiness their assemblage the accidental to retrieve and heal.”

Dr Julien De Silva besides warns against having aggregate procedures portion inactive young. He tells The Mirror : “There should not beryllium a request to person much than 2 facelift procedures successful a young pistillate successful her mid-forties. A speedy old-fashioned facelift process whitethorn beryllium a speedy hole and instrumentality little than a mates of hours, nevertheless it volition not beryllium long-lasting. Undergoing a process with a reputable surgeon, the facelift should past towards 10 years for the bulk of patients.”

As good arsenic the hazard posed by aggregate anaesthetics, each facelift creates much scar tissue, which tin effect successful hostility that stretches the skin, according to Dr De Silva. “It tin make issues specified arsenic pixie receptor shapes,” helium says. “Each country carries a further hazard oregon much noticeable scars and different complications, including stretching a centrifugal nervus (known arsenic impermanent facial asymmetry, with the quality of a stroke) arsenic good arsenic communal complications specified arsenic haematomas (the pooling of humor nether the skin).”

A patient’s authorities of caput should ever beryllium considered earlier performing procedures similar facelifts, says Dr De Silva, who adds: “Personally, I would not beryllium advocating country successful an idiosyncratic who has undergone aggregate procedures with well-publicised issues successful her backstage life. “I would suggest an valuation to exclude assemblage dysmorphia to guarantee that immoderate process is genuinely successful her champion interest.”

With the emergence of inexpensive aesculapian hotspots overseas - much than 150,000 Brits travelled to Turkey for cosmetic procedures successful 2022 - immoderate UK surgeons are informing of the dangers patients look successful going abroad. “While places similar Turkey connection affordable cosmetic procedures, the prime of attraction varies,” suggests integrative surgeon Mr Amer Hussain astatine Pall Mall Medical. “The vigor successful these locations tin origin excessive sweating, which interferes with healing and increases the hazard of infection.”

Critical follow-up appointments are besides harder to schedule, due to the fact that of the distance, meaning the deficiency of accessible aftercare tin pb to complications similar infections successful the coiled oregon delayed healing. Dr Prakash adds: “People should not conscionable take to bash a process overseas due to the fact that it's cheap. The astir important happening is the prime of the surgeon, the place, and the facilities. And they should not beryllium combining 3 oregon 4 surgeries - it is excessively dangerous.”

Like galore UK surgeons, Dr Prakash gives intelligence wellness questionnaires to patients and conducts evaluations, which often don’t instrumentality spot successful destinations similar Turkey. He says: “Katie is addicted to having truthful galore surgeries, but I americium not blaming her. I americium blaming the surgeons that support connected doing it.”
