Katie Price’s botched surgeries and why she refuses to stop going under the knife

Katie Price is arguably one of the most controversial celebrities in Britain.

Throughout her decorated career, the 46-year-old TV star has undergone countless cosmetic procedures to enhance her appearance. Currently, the mum-of-five has had 16 boob jobs, three face lifts and regularly tops up her facial filler in a quest to achieve perfection.

It is estimated that the former Celebrity Big Brother winner has splashed more than £500,000 on cosmetic procedures so far. The three times divorced model previously confessed to looking like a “patchwork quilt” and having “more boob jobs that boyfriends”.

But it seems as though the brunette beauty is showing no signs of stopping when it comes to going under the knife. In recent months, the doting mum has shared her determination to look like a living Bratz doll as she continues to plan her next surgeries.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she insisted: “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.

“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.”

Six years ago, cosmetic surgeons estimated Katie has spent more than £500k on cosmetic procedures. Since then, she has had a new set of veneers, boob jobs and face lifts, meaning the real cost is likely to be much higher.

The jaw-dropping figure is staggering to most, especially when she declared bankruptcy for a second time in March over staggering tax bills. While some surgeries have been paid out of pocket despite her financial struggles, many of her procedures have been gifted to her.

Speaking on Keith Lemon’s show Shopping With Keith Lemon, the starlet revealed she gets a lot of her cosmetic work done for free. When the comic asked her how much her surgeries cost, she admitted: “I don’t know how much it is because I don’t pay.

“Considering I get it free, I can have anything I want, I don’t take advantage of it too much, otherwise I’ll look like a freak.” This week, the star appeared on a podcast with Matt Haycox as she reflected on embracing her journey of self-transformation.

Sharing her plans for further cosmetic procedures, she told listeners: “I might have done my boobs four times. Different face, different teeth. I’ll definitely have my face done by then. I want my forehead done.”

Botched boob jobs

The Mucky Mansion star first went under the knife back in 1995 as she launched her modelling career. After falling in love with the cosmetically enhanced chest, Katie continued to increase her bust size as her career skyrocketed.

But when the singer had them reduced in 2015 – her seventh boob job at that time – things took an unfortunate turn for the worse. Just before she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, the reality star suffered a botched boob reduction.

The TV star revealed to her housemates how she had been left with a hole in her breast and an implant protruding from her chest. She told them: “I’ve no t*ts anymore. They’ve gone.

“There’s not even anything there. If you saw what I’m like underneath. The scar’s gone septic. My whole implant was hanging out on New Year’s Day.” Shortly after she won the show, the Jordan star underwent corrective surgery and her implants were swapped for a D-cup.

But this isn’t the first time Katie has suffered devastating boob jobs. In 2020, the star revealed that she was forced to undergo an emergency procedure with her usual surgeon Frank at BeClinic in Belgium back.

She said at the time: “They looked deformed, they were absolutely awful. That’s the first time I’ve gone to a different surgeon. I had to go back to Frank with my head down, ashamed that I’d been to another clinic.”

The original procedure, which was the 12th the TV star had undergone, left Katie with an infection and dents in her breasts. It is understood her surgeon was utterly shocked by the “awful” previous procedure.

In 2022, Katie went on to have her 16th boob job. She had 2120 CC implants fitted in a bid to steal the title of the woman with the “biggest breasts in Britain”, a source close to the star told The Sun.

Last month, the star told her sister Sophie on their podcast The Katie Price Show that she is going to reduce her cup size. She admitted: “I’ve decided I’m going to have my boobs made smaller because they do make me look bigger.

“Yes, I’ve decided to go smaller with my boobs. I have messaged the surgeon already, and to be honest, I’ve been going to the gym and yeah, I’ve decided.”

In her recent interview with Matt Haycox , Katie admitted that she’s “got a relationship with my boobs”. She explained: “I don’t know, maybe I’ve got a relationship with my boobs.

“Do I want them big? Do I want them small? I heal really well, I’m a really good healer. And I think that’s really why I’ve had so many procedures, because I heal well, and a lot of people don’t.”

Dramatic face lift

For years the former glamour model swore she would never get a facelift. In 2003, she insisted: “You can’t beat [Botox]. It just freezes all the wrinkles and that’s what you want but I’d never have a full face lift.”

But her opinion on the procedure changed back in 2017 when she decided to get threads to lift her face. The procedure was used to correct “sagging cheeks and jawline” using a £5,000 threading technique which can be tightened every 12 months and lasts for up to five years.

However the procedure went horribly wrong, and instead of turning back the clock, Katie was left with agonisingly tight skin. Pictures of the star at the time showed her with puckering around her nose and eyes with stitches along the sides of her face.

Shortly after the procedure, the loving mother claimed the surgeon had “f***ed up” her face. Katie jetted off to a clinic in Brussels one year later to have corrective surgery and stayed away throughout the entire procedure.

Katie later shared a nail-biting video of the procedure where she could be seen slurring her words as a surgeon sliced open her face at the BeClinic in Belgium. Then in May 2019, she jetted out to Turkey for another round of plastic surgery.

During her visit, she underwent a third face lift that reportedly ended up infected and oozing pus. She revealed to concerned fans that she was left in “insane pain” and feared that her ears may fall off.

But that didn’t stop Katie from going back under the knife, when the star revealed her plans for another face lift in 2021 which she wanted to film for YouTube. However, the TV star was rejected by her doctor because her skin was “too tight”.

It is though that 46-year-old has had three face lifts so far, setting her back a staggering £7,000 a pop.

Grizzly gnashers

Crisp white veneers are a dental procedure that many A-list celebs have been undergoing to get that perfect Hollywood smile. The procedure consists of the natural teeth being drilled down to stumps and replaced with porcelain or composite veneers.

It is understood that the teeth are thought to last from 10 to 12 years before needing to be replaced. But that hasn’t stopped the star from getting three sets done in the span of 13 years.

Recently, the TV star shocked fans when one of her veneers fell out of her mouth during a TikTok live. But this isn’t the first time Katie has had problems with her designer teeth.

Her first set of pearly whites was back in 2007 where she forked out £25k on her smile, according the MailOnline. She went on to get them replaced with a full set of temporary veneers, but her mouth quickly began to fill with ulcers that left her in excruciating pain.

Katie was unable to speak due to the pain, and soon travelled to Turkey for another set hoping it would correct the problem. Although the procedure went well, the star is still struggling with her teeth falling out on a regular basis.

Chiselled nose job

Last year, Katie underwent a series of facial tweakments including a new nose job, cheek fillers and a lip lift after claiming that her old nose looked wonky. In order to get the desired result, the TV star’s nose was broken and reformed into a smaller shape.

Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she explained that she first got her nose tweaked back in 2007. Although she claimed that she “loved” her natural nose and didn’t need the procedure, she wanted it to look a little smaller.

But after going to Turkey a couple of years ago, her surgeon accidentally botched her nose job during his “lip lift” that cuts under the nose instead of the lips. She said: “They bodged it up because the scar was bad and he nipped it.

“So I wanted it re-done because I thought it made my nose wonky. My nose looked weird since he’d done it. So I actually had it broken. I’ve never had it broken.

“I said, ‘Make my nose look pretty’, so I don’t know what it looks like and I don’t know what to expect.” But Katie’s recovery wasn’t exactly straightforward.

The glamour model accidentally choked on the gauze in her nose that had slipped down the back of her throat. She had to pull it out and was worried she had “ruined” her new nose.

She said at the time: “I kept coughing thinking, ‘What is stuck in my throat?’ I looked in the mirror and it was a bit of string. I pulled it and it was the gauze coming out of the back of my throat.”

Fans will have to stay tuned to see what procedure the TV star will undergo next.
