Kerry Katona has revealed she has cancelled her planned lower facelift surgery, admitting she doesn't think the time is right and curbed the procedure after her children begged her not to go through with it. “I just don’t think now is the right time anymore,” says Kerry - who last year had a corrective nose op - during an exclusive interview. “My eldest three girls really didn’t want me to do it, they were begging me not to and said ‘Mum, please don’t.’” The 44-year-old shares eldest daughters Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with her first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 17, and Max, 16, with second husband Mark Croft and youngest, DJ, 10, with her late husband, George Kay, who passed away in 2019.
It was the input from her children that put her off the operation, which she previously said she was “excited” for. “I do go off of what my kids think and I knew they didn’t want me to so that massively impacted my decision,” she says. “They don’t think I need it yet and they know how tough the recovery will be, so they really didn’t want me to do it.”.
Earlier this month, Kerry revealed she had booked in for the lower facelift at Pall Mall Medical. She wrote in her magazine column, “I feel I’m at that age where I can get tweaks done If I want to. I know people can be judgemental, but at the end of the day it’s my face and my body so it’s not really anyone else’s business. I can’t wait to see the results!”.
The surgery, which Kerry would have been recovering from now if she went ahead with it, was set to be her third in 12 months. She had an eye lift in January 2024 and a nose operation to rebuild damage caused by historical drug use four months later. However, this means that Kerry knows all too well how tough recovery can be, and she’s not quite ready to face the challenge again.
