SHOCK: Katie Price looks unrecognisably changed in a series of post-surgery pictures taken in Turkey in June, and revealed she wants to have more cosmetic surgery over the next five years.
And recent pictures show Katie looking completely different, with sources confirming she is in “severe pain”.
Her face was bloody and bruised and covered in bandages, her limbs were bandaged and blood-filled catheter tubes were hanging from her body.
Pictures showed Katie barely able to open her eyes and her hands looking visibly swollen.
A source told The Sun: “Katie is in a lot of pain after having a BBL to put fat in her bum, an eye lift to give her a slightly cat-eye look, a lip lift to make her lips look fuller, liposuction on her thighs and legs, under her rib cage and back, as well as surgery to repair scars from a previous facelift.”

The horror: She had a Brazilian butt lift, liposuction and eye, chin and lip surgery, but admitted she thought she might die when she left the operating theatre after losing so much blood.
“Despite the pain, Katie is pleased that the operation went according to plan and she received excellent care from top doctors at the Comfort Zone Clinic in Turkey.”
“Katie is very swollen and bruised but says she is very happy and feels like the old Katie again.”
According to a source, her legs were “severely swollen” from the liposuction, forcing her to lie on her back with her legs elevated while she recovered.
According to reports, she was told she needed a blood transfusion after waking up from surgery, but refused due to fears of contracting COVID-19.

Sources say the mother-of-five is recuperating in a holiday home with a pool and is due to be reunited with her children in the coming weeks, but for now her partner Carl Woods is looking after and chaperoning her.
MailOnline has contacted Katie’s representatives for further comment.
Despite the shocking recovery process, Katie is keen to undergo further plastic surgery over the next five years.
She told The Sun in a separate interview: “No, I think I would do it again… maybe in five to 10 years.”
OP: A source told The Sun: “Katie is in a lot of pain after having BBL surgery, which involved adding fat to her bum, an eye lift to give her a slightly cat-like look and plumping up her lips.”
Feeling like herself: They added: “Although Katie is swollen and bruised, she says she is really happy and feels like the old Katie again.”
The procedure: According to a source, she had “severe swelling” in her legs from the liposuction procedure, so she had no choice but to lie on her back and elevate her legs to recover.
Her fiancé Karl, 31, said he saw the reality TV star while she was in the operating theatre in Turkey and thought she had died.
Katie said of the experience, “Honestly, it felt like I’d been to hell and back. It was absolutely terrifying. I was like, ‘Oh my god, I look like a monster in a horror movie.'”
“I just thought, ‘Oh no, I’m going to die.’ I was scared of looking like a freak, like one of Wildenstein’s brides or a fake doll.”
At her side was her fiancé Carl Woods, 31, who had been watching over Katie while she was in the operating theatre in Turkey but revealed he thought she had died.
Alert: After waking up from surgery, he was told he needed a blood transfusion but reportedly refused due to fears of contracting Covid-19.

“I just thought: ‘Please, no, don’t let this happen. This is the end. I’m going to die.'”
Katie describes herself as a “surgery veteran” and has had numerous operations, including three facelifts and three liposuctions.
