Kerry Katona has revealed she is ‘crying’ non-stop in ‘pain’ after going under the knife for cosmetic surgery on her eyelids last week.
The former Atomic Kitten, 43, who had blepharoplasty, which removes excess skin from the eyelids, revealed she accidentally ‘scratched her cornea’ while recovering.
She described how she has been left very bruised and swollen but is “over the moon” with the results as she has wanted to have the procedure for a while.
The TV personality said in her new! column: “I cry all day from the pain. When I got out of rehab I didn’t know what I was doing and I rubbed my eye and scratched the cornea.
“I’ve scratched it all over the nerve endings which the doctor told me is almost more painful than childbirth. I have complained so much but it is completely my fault and nothing to do with the surgery.’
Kerry revealed she was convinced to have the operation after friend Katie Price, who also had the procedure, “gave her a lot of advice”.

She continued: “I’ve wanted to do it for a while because my eyes were starting to get heavy and I could feel the hood of the skin, which I didn’t like. I didn’t change my face, I just improved it and got rid of the extra skin it gave me.”
The star is no stranger to going under the knife and previously had a tummy tuck in 2021, another stomach surgery in 2023, alongside multiple columns and reductions.
But Kerry, who is mum to Molly, 22, Lilly, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 15, and DJ, nine, admitted her kids weren’t thrilled about her getting her eyes done.
She revealed that when her older children FaceTimed her at the hospital, it “scared” them so she didn’t show DJ the results because it would “frighten” her.
Kerry had the ‘adjustment’ at Merseyside’s Pall Mall Medical Center after previously complaining her eyes felt ‘heavy’.
Once under general anesthesia, Kerry’s eyebrows were 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.

It comes after Kerry revealed she plans to undergo another surgery, this time to fix her nose due to damage from previous drug use.
Taking to Instagram in November she told her followers that she had visited Pall Mall cosmetics and the doctor asked her if she had ever had a nose job, before revealing that internal damage from past drug use is causing her nose to collapse.
The singer struggled with addiction fifteen years ago and told fans “I shouldn’t be here. I should be dead. If it wasn’t for my children I think I would be.”
Speaking candidly, the star revealed:[The doctor] he said, “your nose is falling off.” So I’ve ruined my nose from drugs.’
“They suggested I make it years ago, and I said no, because for me it was a reminder to never touch it [drugs] again.
“So he said, ‘do you want us to fix it for you?’ And I started crying because it’s a huge 360 from where I was to where I am now. And I think wow wow, okay, I’ll fix it.
“Obviously I don’t do drugs anymore, I’ve turned my life around and I’m very proud of myself. We all make mistakes and I think this is a reward for me but I’m scared!’
Kerry went on to point out that when someone says their ears are pinned back, she doesn’t get hate, but other edits have led to her receiving a lot of negative comments.
