Kerry Katona showed off the results of her upper blepharoplasty and brow lift last night – and she’s clearly thrilled with her new look.
The Atomic Kitten star, 43, underwent the surgery two weeks ago, sharing images of the procedure exclusively with the Mirror. However, her fresh face was a million miles away from how bruised and swollen she was left post-op.
She was running around the city of Liverpool to celebrate her daughter Lily-Sue’s 21st birthday. Lily-Sue is the second oldest of her five children and the youngest of her two children with ex-husband Brian McFadden.
Only Fans star Kerry donned a silky, backless silver jumpsuit, adding to her svelte frame with a pair of sky-high purple heels. Her makeup was subtle and her toned arms and tattoos were on full display.
She underwent an eye lift under general anesthetic at Merseyside’s Pall Mall Medical Centre. The mum-of-five was operated on by Mr Ullas Raghavan, who specializes in ear, nose and throat, as well as plastic surgery.

The 43-year-old first revealed last year that she wanted work done on her eyes after noticing they were getting “heavy”, and also revealed plans for a nose job with the same surgeon.
In November, Kerry said: “Right, so I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to have an eye lift. I’m, mind you. They’re so heavy they’re hanging over my eyes. Why not, I’m 43, I’m eligible.” But despite her excitement, she wrote in her OK! The magazine column was concerned about the process.
He said: “I’m down with myself. I’m really nervous but I’m looking forward to it. 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 at during this period.”
In exclusive pictures shared with the Mirror, Kerry was seen under Mr Raghavan’s knife, with her face marked in various places to make the necessary incisions to meet her demands. Once under general anaesthetic, Kerry’s eyebrow appeared to be sliced open and then pinned back to lift her eyes.

Later, her eyelid was opened, lifted and then pulled back to give her a more youthful appearance. According to Pall Mall, people often take two weeks off work to recover from the procedure and will not be able to drive for several days. However, bruising and redness may take several weeks to disappear, and scars may be firm for several months.
The star is no stranger to cosmetic surgery and has always been honest about the work she’s had done. Kerry previously explained that she had a “right” to improve her appearance and hasn’t backed down since making millions after joining subscription platform OnlyFans, which saw her bank balance skyrocket after years of turmoil. Now, she admits she’s happy and embraces her body.
Kerry was first stabbed in 2004 for breast enhancement after her split from her first husband, former Westlife singer Brian McFadden. Speaking on the Net Mums podcast, she said: “I started out as a model, I had a great set of t**s on me, I wasn’t going to be a rocket scientist, that was my start. I was a beautiful girl, using what God gave me. Half of my body isn’t mine anyway. I’ve been sliced and diced so bloody many times I’m like a flat pack from Ikea.”
