43 cosmetic surgeries. That is the number Katie Price, the 48-year-old former British glamour model, reached after flying to Brussels to correct the ‘butterfly’ lip filler that had migrated above the natural border of her lip, causing lumps and scar tissue. 😬
Hours after the operation — which she underwent without general anesthesia, fully awake — she posted a video from her hotel bed with her face bruised and swollen. Her fans flooded her Instagram with messages of support, although more than one probably did the same math: 17 breast operations, 7 facelifts, rhinoplasty, veneers, Botox… and now this. 😳
The image of her swollen face and the accumulated number say more than any statement. How far does the search for perfection go?
