Katie Price is “planning more surgery before Christmas” after seeking advice from pal Kerry Katona, a source has claimed.
The 46-year-old recently returned from Turkey where she underwent a significant facelift. However, it’s been suggested that the ex-glamour model is contemplating another operation, this time on her nose.
A source told Closer magazine that Katie has been experiencing “cartilage damage” in her nose and is keen on corrective surgery, similar to what Kerry Katona underwent. The insider revealed that Katie was “so impressed” with Kerry’s results that she’s “already asked for details” of the surgeon.
The source mentioned that Katie has had ongoing issues with her nose, stating: “She’s complained about her nose for a while now, and admits to having issues with snoring and breathing.”
They added: “She blames her wonky nose mishap on the multiple operations and work done on her upper lip. She had a procedure three years ago called a lip lift, and she claims her nostrils have not been right since.”
Despite having a nose job just last year, Katie claims that a botched lip lift in Turkey has caused further complications. On The Katie Price Show, she described the experience as “bodged up” because the surgeon “nipped” the scar.
Katie, a mother of five, has undergone numerous surgeries over the years, including breast augmentations and liposuctions. She has previously spoken about her mother Amy’s view on her continuous cosmetic surgeries, calling them “ridiculous”.
Katie has been vocal about her stance on cosmetic procedures, telling the Daily Mail: “It’s my body and I do what I want to do. That’s how it should be, our body, your choice.”
Her plans for further surgery follow a controversial trip to Turkey with her boyfriend JJ Slater from Married at First Sight, which she took instead of attending a bankruptcy hearing. Upon her return to Heathrow, Katie was arrested but later explained that the trip was an attempt to earn money to settle her bankruptcy orders.
In a separate case, Kerry Katona underwent surgery to reconstruct her nose after years of drug abuse, using cartilage from her ribs to repair the damage.
A source close to Kerry told Closer magazine that she is “naturally supporting” Katie, emphasising that Katie’s upcoming surgery is intended as a “medical procedure” rather than for cosmetic enhancement. They also mentioned that Katie is eager to have her new nose ready for the festive season.
Katie Price’s representatives have been approached for comment.
