Kerry Katona completely unrecognisable as eyes swollen shut after painful op
Kerry Katona has been spotted in public for the first time since undergoing painful surgery to banish an eye problem.
The former Atomic Kitten star could barely open her eyes from a lift procedure as she left Merseyside's Pall Mall Medical Centre. The mum-of-five was operated on by Mr Ullas Raghavan, who specialises in ear, nose and throat, as well as plastic surgery.
Despite her soreness, Kerry appeared to be all smiles as she made her way out of the building to get a ride home. Dressed in a long white trench coat, she could be seen carrying two Waitrose bags full of her belongings after recovering the op which required her to be placed under general anaesthetic.

The 43-year old first revealed last year she wanted work done to her eyes after noticing they had started to become "heavy".
The star is no stranger to cosmetic procedures and has always been honest about the work she's had done to her. Previously, Kerry explained she was "entitled" to enhancing her look and hasn't held back since raking in millions after joining the subscription platform OnlyFans, which saw her bank balance rocket after years of turmoil. Now, she admits she's happy and embraces her body.

In exclusive images shared with the Mirror, Kerry was seen under Mr Raghavan's knife, with her face marked at various points for him to make the necessary incisions to meet her demands. Once under general anaesthetic, Kerry's eyebrow was seen being sliced open and then pinned back to lift her eyes.

According to Pall Mall, people often take two weeks off work to recover from the procedure and will not be able to drive for several days. However, the bruising and redness may take several weeks to fade and the scarring could be tight for several months.
In November, Kerry said: "Right, so I've come to the conclusion I'm going to get an eye lift. I am, watch this. They're so heavy they're hanging over my eyes. Why not, I'm 43, I'm entitled." But despite her excitement, she wrote in her OK! Magazine column she was apprehensive about the procedure.
She said: "I'm s******g myself. I'm really nervous, but I'm looking forward to having it done. I'm going to Pall Mall Medical and they've been really great, so it's exciting. I think the recovery period is 10 days and I won't be able to drive during that time."
Kerry continued: "We have decided to do my nose surgery separately, so I'm hoping to get a date in soon for that too – it's all happening," she added. Previously, Kerry has opened up about having a non-surgical facelift, breast enhancements and reductions, liposuction and tummy tucks.
Kerry first went under the knife in 2004 for a breast enhancement following her split from her first husband, ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden. Speaking on the Net Mums podcast, she said: "I started out as a Page 3 model, I had a great set of t**s on me, I wasn't going to be a rocket scientist, that was my get out, I was a pretty girl, I used what god gave me. Half my body's not mine anyway. I've been sliced and diced so many bloody times I'm like a flat pack from Ikea."
