Kerry Katona wows with new face after undergoing bloody eyelid surgery
Kerry Katona showed off the results of her upper blepharoplasty and brow lift last night - and she's clearly thrilled with her new look.
The Atomic Kitten star, 43, underwent the procedures two weeks ago, exclusively sharing gory images of the invasive op with the Mirror. However, her fresh-faced visage was a million miles away from how bruised and swollen she was left after the op.
She was hitting the town in Liverpool to celebrate her daughter Lily-Sue's 21st birthday. Lily-Sue is the second eldest of her five children, and the youngest of her two kids with ex-husband Brian McFadden.
Only Fans star Kerry wore a silky, backless, silver jumpsuit, adding to her petite frame with a pair of towering purple heels. Her make-up was subtle, and her toned arms and tattoos were on full-display.
She underwent the eyelift under general anaesthetic at 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.
Celeb psychic to Kerry Katona discovered she could see spirits after nan's deathThe 43-year old first revealed last year she wanted work done to her eyes after noticing they had started to become "heavy", and has also revealed plans for a nose job with the same surgeon.
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."
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.
Later on, her eyelid was cut open, raised and then pulled back in order to give her a more youthful appearance. 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.
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.
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."
