Katona after ‘exciting’ surgery

KERRY Katona shows her face for the first time since having surgery to lift her heavy eyelids.

The former Atomic Kitten singer was seen leaving a medical centre at the weekend with a post-operative squint.

She revealed in November that she planned to have a blepharoplasty, saying: “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 the mum of five admitted ahead of the operation by Mr Ullas Raghavan: “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.”

She is also planning another operation at the Merseyside clinic, explaining: “We have decided to do my nose surgery separately, so I’m hoping to get a date in soon for that.” She has said she was reluctant to get her nose fixed, as it was a reminder not to take drugs.

But Kerry said of changing her mind: “Obviously I don’t do drugs any more, I’ve turned my life around and I’m very proud of myself.

“We all make mistakes and I think this is a reward.” Kerry’s first surgery was a breast enlargement in 2004. She has since said: “Half my body’s not mine... I’ve been sliced and diced so many bloody times I’m like a flat pack from IKEA.” Operations she has had include a tummy tuck, liposuction and breast reductions down from 36EE.

She has also had procedures including Botox and filler in her lips

and cheeks.
