I’m a surgeon – Katie Price’s £10k face lift has left her gaunt and muted – it’s proof you can never turn back the clock
SHE was warned against getting another face lift, but that didn’t stop Katie Price from jetting off to Turkey for her sixth one.
And the results horrified people when former glamour model was recently spotted in Cyprus with her boyfriend JJ Slater and her oldest son Harvey sunbathing and showing off her new look.
“Jesus, why? She was grande before it,” wrote one X, formerly known as Twitter, user.
“I feel so sad just looking at her once pretty face now deformed, along with the tattoos she really looks freaky,” another added.
While one more said: “How many face lifts does anyone need in a lifetime?”
The 46-year-old – who has had 17 boob jobs and six face lifts over 26 years – decided on this latest nip/tuck after ignoring a stark warning from her former surgeon who refused to do the surgery and feared she was ‘addicted.’
Her face lift seems to be almost fully healed as she relaxed on a sun lounger in Cyprus but that didn’t stop onlookers noticing how the tightness of her face compared to her ‘turkey’ neck. Something she has admitted she thinks makes her look ‘old’.
Following people’s concern on Katie’s surgeries we spoke to Dr Ross, Medical Director at Cosmetics skin clinics to get his thoughts on Katie’s latest surgery.
Dr Ross tells Fabulous: “Looking at Katie Price’s face lift we can see the skin has been pulled incredibly tight along the jaw line and towards the ear, this is leaving somewhat of an unnatural contour and tension on the face and around the neck area.
“It also means that it’s making her look gaunt and obviously her facial expressions will be somewhat muted due to this.”
Katie also admitted that the invasive procedure left her suffering with her eyesight sparking concern among fans.
“Please leave your face alone… you can’t even see your eyes,& you probably can’t close them properly either. Sent with love & concern,” wrote one.

Dr Ross agreed that it looked like the procedure hadn’t completely gone to plan as the eye area looked wonky.
He explains: “There is also some asymmetry around the eyes which is due to having further surgery done in and around the eye area .
“She was advised not to have any further surgery by reputable UK surgeons, however, she’s decided to obviously seek advice elsewhere and have the surgery which hopefully in time settle down and leave a more natural look and result.”
Dr Ross also revealed that face lifts are not the way to go to reverse ageing.
He explains: “Face lifts are not the panacea of anti ageing, they will often help improve areas of the face that have subject to wear and tear over the years.
“However, there is still the likely scenario that you will still look your age but that hopefully you will just look better for your age. So in terms of actually reversing the ageing process that’s impossible.
“The idea of a face lift is just look good for your age as opposed to turning back the clock.
“Remember there are other aspects of your general appearance that give away your age such as your weight, your hair, your hands, your neck.”
The expert added that getting multiple procedures can often fall short on desired results.
He says: “If you are subject to multiple procedures, multiple surgical or even non surgical procedures that have not been done with an objective view then patients can often end up looking worse than had they not entertained the procedures in the first place.”
The ex-model has spent more than £500k on cosmetic surgery over the years and she was back having another procedure earlier this month.
Katie had ‘the butterfly lip’ done, which uses surgical tape and filler to leave the lips excessively big and turned upwards in a butterfly shape.
But she’s still not finished her latest transformation and told fans she still wants to change her bottom.
Katie even branded herself as a ‘patchwork quilt’ in her series, Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion, on Channel 4 as she cut teddies in half to stick on her son’s Jurassic Park themed room.
Katie joked: “Sorry, Simba, but you’re having a leaf out of my book.
“It’s only a bit of surgery you’ll survive, I probably look like you deep down, like a patchwork quilt!”
In the past Katie had reported she wasn’t addicted to surgery but has since changed her tune.
“I’ve always said I don’t have an addiction to surgery. But do you know what? Maybe people have a point when they say that because I’m never happy,” she told OK! Magazine.
“I’m learning about myself and when I have my therapy sessions, I learn about validation. When you look at my past and how I’ve been treated, I don’t think you can blame me for the way I feel and think. I’m going to carry on with the surgery because I want to.”
Her daughter Pricness is said to be furious about Kate’s recent surgery while so, Junior, is said to be embarrassed by his mum’s surgeries.
A source close to the family told Closer magazine: “Princess worries about all her mum’s cosmetic surgeries and thinks that Katie is surrounding herself with people who don’t tell the truth.
“Instead, they’re giving her the green light to keep going, but it’s not their body, and she’s not their mum.
“Princess is angry and Junior is embarrassed – he’s said Katie is cringe and needs serious help.
“Their mum has become a laughing stock and the brunt of jokes.
“It was bad before, but now it’s awful – it affects all the kids so negatively.”
