Price urges young women to avoid plastic surgery
Katie Price has said that she wants to educate young women about how “damaging” plastic surgery can be to the body, adding that there was “nothing worse” than young women getting fillers in their early twenties.
The former glamour model and television star, who is famous for her numerous cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, said that she was “not a hypocrite” for her remarks, adding that she thought she had deterred her own children from going under the knife.
Speaking on the podcast How To Fail With Elizabeth Day, Price said: “There’s nothing worse than when these young girls now – and I will say it, in their early twenties – who are all getting fillers, all getting lips, all getting the boobs.
“I’m not a hypocrite, but I didn’t start doing my face until I was in my forties. Yes, I had a boob job, but I didn’t even have fillers.
“I didn’t have Botox till I was, like, 27, 28. Lips I tried when they didn’t know [how to do it] and I looked like a duck, but then I just relaxed on it.
“All the girls look the same now, and I think, ‘What are they going to look like then when they’re my age?’ Like, I say to my kids, because they’re like, ‘Oh mum, you’re not doing surgery again are you?’
“And I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s all right.’ They’re so used to it I think I’ve put them off for life. But people don’t realise when you have surgery, you only see before and after, you don’t see in between. When you’ve had it, the pain and the cleaning, the stitches out and the bed rests.
“So I would love to educate people about it. It’s damaging to your body.”
Price, who has been married three times, also spoke about how damaging her romantic relationships have been. She said: “If men had not been in my life, I wouldn’t be in the bankruptcy things that I’ve been in.”
In July 2023, Price revealed she had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and said she thought it explained some of her “poor choices”.
