Advice: Price’s warning for girls who want to get fillers
KATIE Price has said she wants to educate young women about how “damaging” plastic surgery can be to the body.
The glamour model and author added that there is “nothing worse” than young women getting fillers in their early 20s.
Price, famous for her numerous cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, said she is “not a hypocrite” for her remarks, explaining that she thinks she has deterred her own children from going under the knife.
Speaking on the podcast
How To Fail With Elizabeth Day, Price (45) said: “There’s nothing worse than when these young girls now, and I will say it, in their early 20s, 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 40s. Yes, I had a boob job, but I didn’t even have fillers.
“I didn’t have Botox until 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?’ 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 alright’. 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. I wouldn’t be tormented in my brain or mentally abused like I have been. It’s all to do with men.
“And then I thought, ‘is that why I ended up doing modelling?’ Because you can look at me in a magazine but you can’t touch me. I don’t know if it’s associated with it, but I have therapy all because of men.”
She added: “But communication and talking about things is the best way forward and I never knew how to do that before.
“I would keep it in (my head), which would make things ruminate in my brain and be worse and worse.
“But I do have to say, because I was in there for severe traumatic rehabilitation of PTSD, it’s all caused by men.”
