Plastic surgeon reacts to Katie Price being told she looks 'like Megan Fox' after £10k facelift

Katie Price says her sixth facelift has seen her being compared to Transformers actress Megan Fox. Now a plastic surgeon has offered their thoughts, while expressing concern over the model's 'constant quest' for 'more and more extreme outcomes'

Katie Price's new £10K facelift has reportedly led to the former glamour model being compared to Hollywood star Megan Fox - but a plastic surgeon has noted a few differences.

The mum-of-five has proudly shown off the results of her pricey procedure after being photographed out and about picking up supplies for her new Sphinx cats. Fans did catch a glimpse of Katie's revamped face on Halloween night, but her spooky skeleton makeup stopped them from getting a proper look.

Katie appears pleased as punch with her latest nip and tuck, which marks her sixth facelift so far. The 46-year-old went under the knife while in Turkey, and fans were initially alarmed by post-op pics which showed the star wrapped in bandages.

However, Katie now appears fresh-faced and cheerful - with her youthful look attracting plenty of compliments.

During her recent shopping trip, Katie revealed: "Everyone keeps saying I look like Megan Fox - I wish I looked like Megan Fox, she's stunning!" Katie is well known for her love of plastic surgery - which some worry she's taken too far in recent years. The ex Page 3 girl has undergone 17 breast augmentations, eyelifts, and a nose job - plus various other 'tweakments'.

Meanwhile, Transformers actress Megan, 38, has also previously spoken candidly about the cosmetic tweaks she's had done, which have included breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, fillers and Botox. Listing her various enhancements during an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, aired back in March, Megan told host Alex Cooper that, although she's never had a facelift 'of any kind' she 'would like one'.

But are there really any similarities between Katie and Megan?

Dr Darren McKeown, founder of McKeown Medical told the Mirror: "Katie has had quite a number of operations on her face, most of which seem to have been done quite cheaply in Turkey. £10,000 for a facelift these days doesn't get you very much.

"Most in-demand surgeons will charge at least twice that amount and there are some of the world's best who now charge up to $500,000."

Although Dr McKeown notes that such price tags make such top-of-the-line treatments unavailable to the majority of people - he has advised against plumping for the 'cheapest possible option'.

According to Dr McKeown, a good surgeon will only carry out one facelift per day - dedicating their entire day to just one patient. Whereas, when it comes to those offering more budget-friendly £10,000, it's likely the surgeon is 'rushing through two or three a day'.

Dr McKeown revealed: "When I look at Katie's appearance, we see many of the tell-tale signs of surgery. Her skin looks quite taut, the contours look quite harsh and her eyebrows are unnaturally high.

"The distance between her eyebrow and her temple hairline is too far too. This is one of the more of the more subtle signs of poor cosmetic surgery, but it contributes quite significantly to the unnatural look."

Although Dr McKeown has remarked that 'the most important thing here is that Katie herself is happy with her appearance', he has expressed concern over her 'constant quest' for 'more and more extreme outcomes'. Dr McKeown went on to suggest that it appears as though Katie is 'trying to fix deeper underlying issues that cosmetic surgery cannot fix'.

This is something Katie herself has touched upon during an episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, where she admitted she'd never felt 'beautiful'. Katie confessed: "I don't know what it is, I think deep down there is something. I always said I haven't got body dysmorphia but there's definitely something."

Reflecting on Megan's procedures, Dr McKeown remarked that this is a 'great example of work that has been well done and looks quite tasteful'. He's also praised her candidness on this front.

Dr McKeown said: "I think it's great that she is so open and honest about it. Megan is a working actress and cosmetic surgery is a healthy adjunct that assists her in her professional life.

"With Katie, however, it feels like having cosmetic surgery is what she is now famous for and it's almost like she feels the need to keep having more to stay relevant. This is a really unhealthy way to approach cosmetic surgery."

Even Katie herself has admitted there have been times when she's felt as though she's taken things too far. During her interview with legendary documentary maker Louis, Katie shared: "Sometimes in the past, I have looked in the mirror and thought: ‘OK, you’ve gone too far, just get it back out.’

"So I can recognise when it’s too much but I don’t know, that’s another thing that I have to get to grasp with myself about the surgery thing."

The Mirror also spoke with world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr Corey Maas, who remarked that it was difficult to draw comparisons between the two women, 'have such different facial morphologies', with their 'brunette hair and defined cheekbones' providing the only 'vague similarities'.

While Megan 'has a longer heart-shaped face', with 'more angularity', Katie's is more 'oval'. According to Dr Maas: "They are both very attractive women but I would put Price more in the category of early Raquel Welch with the cheekbones - but she will look very different in two to four weeks than she does in the shots posted in the Mirror."

He added: "She is beautiful but the similarities are limited as the angular features, especially early, are difficult to detect. Fox has a sharply defined cheek and jawline, and a smaller proportionate mouth, lips and smile and does not appear to have had a lip lift like Price."
