Katie Price has been open about undergoing her sixth facelift, revealing to fans that the procedure cost her a hefty £10,000 and was carried out abroad.
Always upfront about her cosmetic enhancements, the TV personality and former glamour model confirmed on social media the latest addition to her extensive surgical history, which includes 17 boob jobs and numerous other treatments, sharing pictures of herself in post-surgery bandages after her facelift in Turkey this January.
Yet leading UK surgeon Gerard Lambe has expressed concern, cautioning against the potential harms of excessive cosmetic surgery and the risks associated with overseas procedures.
Speaking on the matter, Lambe stated, “These latest images of Katie Price having had yet another cosmetic surgery procedure send out a dangerous message to vulnerable people who may think cosmetic surgery is a low-risk procedure. These latest pictures show she has undergone a further nasal procedure, on top of ‘tweaks’ to her sixth £10,000 facelift at a clinic in Turkey.”
He voiced his worry about Price’s well-being, suggesting that her actions might be symptomatic of severe body dysmorphia – a condition readily identifiable by surgeons during consultations.
Lambe further lamented the rise of surgery tourism, asserting that encouraging repetitive cosmetic surgeries is one of the practice’s “most depressing” elements.
He remarked that “money comes first” in these overseas clinics, and this often comes at the cost of a “patient’s mental and physical health”. Gerard went on to say: “There is such a thing as surgery addiction – a compulsion to seek out cosmetic and surgical procedures. It is classified as a behavioral addiction that impacts a person’s health, mental well-being, and of course, finances.”, reports the Mirror.
He pointed out the particular risks for individuals with body dysmorphic disorders, adding, “Tragically, people with body dysmorphic disorders are more likely to become addicted to plastic surgery – but there are resources available to help anyone recover and I urge anyone, including Katie, to please seek support.”
The ex-model had previously expressed dissatisfaction with her ear’s appearance after a £10k facelift last year.
The former model previously said she was unhappy with the way her ears looked after splashing out a reported £10k on a facelift last year. In her quest for perfection – Katie recently admitted she wants to look “like a Bratz doll” – a source told OK! she’s considering heading back under the knife for a string of surgeries including a breast reduction, rib removal, neck lift and BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
According to the source, the focus has shifted from maintenance: “It’s not about maintenance any more, this is about totally changing her appearance and reinventing herself again”.
They also noted Katie’s history of transformation: “Katie isn’t unused to reinvention and has previously gone by the name ‘Jordan’ in her early modelling career. She changed from Katie Price to Jordan, then back to Katie, and now this is another reinvention. When she was Jordan she was one of the most famous faces in Britain, everyone knew who she was.”
