Kerry Katona has been left bruised and swollen after going under the knife for cosmetic surgery on her eyelids last week.
As we spoke to our columnist from her hospital bed, just hours after the procedure known as blepharoplasty, which removes the excess skin from eyelids, she said she was delighted with how the operation had gone.
But Kerry admitted to being in "so much pain" as, while the surgery had gone to plan, she accidentally scratched her eyelid afterwards, causing agony.
"I've been crying all day because of the pain," said Kerry, 43. "When I was coming out of recovery, I didn't know what I was doing and rubbed my eye and scratched the cornea. I've scratched it on all the nerve endings, which my doctor said is "almost more painful than childbirth" when that happens - and it has been. I've been complaining so much.
"It's completely my fault and not to do with the surgery. Doing this is f*****g typical Kerry Katona bad luck. It had to be me who poked my bloody eye." The former Atomic Kitten singer headed to Pall Mall Medical in Merseyside for the operation, taking the plunge due to increasing extra skin drooping over her eyes.
"I've wanted to do it for a while because my eyes were starting to feel heavy and I could feel the skin hooding over, which I didn't like," Kerry said. "I've not changed my face, I've just tweaked it and got rid of the extra skin that was hanging down. It's a bit like if you have a mole on your face and then get it removed." In our exclusive post-op pictures, taken just moments after the surgery, Kerry's eyes are heavily swollen.
