Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has been urged by fans and friends to slow down after suffering complications from her recent breast surgery. The 45-year-old star disclosed that she ruptured tissue by not taking enough time to recover properly after her procedure.
Surgery Complications and Recovery Warnings
Last week, the mother-of-five revealed in her column that she had been placed under doctor's orders to rest following corrective surgery on her breasts. This latest procedure came just months after her fourth breast augmentation in August, where she underwent an uplift with new implants.
Merely two months after her initial surgery, Kerry announced she required further corrective surgery due to scar tissue complications. "I ruptured the tissue after having breast implants, because I didn't rest enough when I had the implants put in in the first place," she confessed in her column.
Fan Reactions and Support System
Supporters quickly expressed their concerns on social media platforms. One Facebook commenter wrote, "Such a pretty face! Hopefully she didn't get an infection with the surgery, then she would really be in trouble." Another added, "I hope she stops and doesn't have anything else done," while a third supporter remarked, "She's no need for surgery, I hope she can recover and have some down time."
Those close to the star, who recently completed a successful UK tour with friend Katie Price, worry she's risking further health issues by not prioritising her recovery. A source revealed, "Kerry's a workaholic and she doesn't want to ever be broke like she was before." The twice-bankrupt star apparently feels pressure to keep working despite medical advice.
Cosmetic Procedure Concerns and Influences
Friends have expressed concerns that Kerry might be developing an addiction to cosmetic procedures, similar to her friend Katie Price. According to sources, Kerry has previously undergone multiple procedures including work on her nose, eyes, face, boobs and tummy.
Our source claims, "They are worried she's going down the same path. She's working with Katie, spending a lot of time with Katie – and all Katie does is talk about surgery. So they're worried it's rubbing off on Kerry."
Social media users echoed these concerns, with one writing, "She'll end up as bad as Katie Price," while another commented, "Oh no, probably influenced by Katie Price." A third fan urged, "Don't start going down the surgery route like Katie."
Family Support and Future Plans
Despite the concerns, Kerry has strong support from her boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, 34, whom she met on TV's Celebs Go Dating. "Paolo loves her just the way she is," our source reveals. "They're a very confident, happy couple and Paolo adores Kerry and is very supportive of her work."
Her children – Molly, 24, Lilly-Sue, 22, Heidi, 18, Max, 17, and 11-year-old daughter DJ – have also expressed concerns about her undergoing further surgery. "They don't want her to have surgery," our source adds. "She's a mum and, you know, with every anaesthetic there is a risk."
A spokesperson for Kerry stated, "Kerry hasn't been working since her surgery and has had some well needed time off. Kerry isn't planning on having anymore surgery at this moment and would not be influenced by anyone to have any more surgery."
Looking forward, Kerry has expressed enthusiasm about expanding her family with Paolo, who already has two children. The singer disclosed last month, "I'm definitely open to having more kids – and I know my children would be happy for me." This future focus on family might encourage the star to prioritise her long-term health over further cosmetic procedures.
