Kerry Katona could hardly open her eyes as she dashed out in Merseyside following recent eye-lift surgery.
The 43-year-old songstress has always been open when it comes to going under the knife. In 2022, Kerry’s breast-reduction surgery was well documented, with the star having suffered back issues that had led to an array of health problems for her in every day life.
In recent months, the Atomic Kitten star complained to fans that her eyelids had become very “heavy”, with the hitmaker looking into blepharoplasty – a procedure which removes excess skin from the eyelids to help solve her issue. In November last year, Kerry made up her mind, telling her followers she would have surgery to fix it, saying: “Right, so I’ve come to the conclusion I’m going to get an eye lift.

“I am, watch this. They’re so heavy they’re hanging over my eyes. Why not, I’m 43, I’m entitled,” added the reality star. Having done her research, she headed to Pall Mall Medical to be operated on by ear, nose and throat specialist Mr Ullas Raghavan on January 18.

According to the Whole Again singer in her recent column with OK!, it was possible to heal within just 10 days. She wrote: “I’m s******g myself. I’m really nervous, but I’m looking forward to having it done. I’m going to Pall Mall Medical and they’ve been really great, so it’s exciting. I think the recovery period is 10 days and I won’t be able to drive during that time.”
However, if recent pictures of Kerry – who was seen on Sunday, January 21 – leaving her surgeon’s place of practice, it could be a little longer before she is back to looking like her normal self again. In the snaps taken four days after her procedure, Kerry looked battered and bruised with her stitches still visible.

There was noticeable swelling all around Kerry’s eyes, nose and forehead. The mum-of-five almost appeared unrecognisable with her blonde locks swooped away from her face in a high ponytail as she proudly showcased her eyebrows that had seemingly been pulled up high and re-stitched to her head.
It is presumed that Kerry had visited the practice for a check-in appointment to look at her progress. For her visit, she wore a button down floor-length cream coat that peeped open at the top to reveal a black top as she braved the cold British weather.

Previously shared images of the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star showed her during and after surgery. Kerry was shown with various markings on her face that her surgeon Mr Raghaven had drawn ahead of the procedure to ensure she was happy with his proposed incisions.
In other snaps, the Steph’s Packed Lunch star was seen under general anaesthetic, with the tops of her eyes sliced open and pinned back – this was in hope of giving her the lift that she’d desired. Although Kerry had previously appeared to be optimistic about her recovery time, her Cosmetic Clinic had also stated that it could be a lot longer before the scarring fades.

The medical centre advised previously that ordinarily two weeks off work is often enough for most people to recover from the surgery. However, bruising, redness and swelling could still take several weeks to dim down and scarring could be tight for several months following the procedure.
It isn’t the last surgery that Kerry has on the cards either, with the former hitmaker already confirming a nose operation has been lined up for after she’s healed. She told fans at the time, “it’s all happening”.
