- *WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT*
Kerry Katona has revealed the gruesome results of her nose job after going under the knife on Wednesday.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, has gone for surgery at Pall Mall Cosmetics after she was left with a hole in her septum after previous drug use in her twenties.
Pictures from after showed her all bandaged up and bruised with blood left on her skin.
The surgeon used a piece of her rib to make her nose more stable and to correct the support inside her nostril.
It comes after she revealed the real reason she was having done – after suffering years of ‘shame and embarrassment’ because of her nose.

Before the surgery on Tuesday the clinic posted a video of Kerry meeting with her surgeon Mr Raghavan as she explained the ‘shame and embarrassment’ she feels about her nose.
She said: ‘I have so much shame and embarrassment around my nose because of my past but it’s been a million and one years now so for me it’s like a big reward.
‘I’m always sniffing all the time because my nose is always running and I’m always very paranoid about it. So to get this fixed is amazing.’
Mr Raghavan said said back to her as he explained the procedure: ‘Regarding the nose, you have a hole in the septum, inside the nose and there is not much support there for the tip of the nose. It just goes in and there is no support there.
‘And that is making the shape of the nose a bit different to how it was before. We should be able to reconstruct the support again and we will have to use a piece of rib cartilage which we would take from the right side. We can mobilize the lining of the nose.
‘In the future there will be better shape and better function and the hole should heal.’
On Monday Kerry revealed she was getting a rib removed to make her new nose as she prepared to once again go under the knife.
She wrote in her new OK! column: ‘I’m waiting for a date from Pall Mall for the reconstructive surgery I need for my nose, due to past cocaine abuse in her 20s.
‘They’re going to use a piece of bone from my rib to repair it. Hopefully, that will be any day now.’
Earlier in the day, the star also took to Instagram telling fans she was going to undergo the nose job procedure in the afternoon.

The TV star explained they were ‘taking a piece of bone from her rib’ which would then be used to replace her nose cartilage ‘to make it look a bit smaller’.
Kerry also clarified she was in urgent need of the surgery as she had ‘three holes’ inside her nose due to her past cocaine abuse.
The former singer filmed herself at the Pall Mall Medical, a pricey clinic based in Central London.
She looked hopeful and excited ahead of the procedure, capturing a snap of herself with one of the surgeons.
The TV personality has previously admitted that cocaine used to be her ‘only friend’ as she spoke about her past drug abuse.
Kerry, who started taking drugs aged 14, has openly spoke about her bipolar disorder and addiction issues in the past.
The star, who checked herself into rehab in 2008 and 2010, revealed she hasn’t touched cocaine in 15 years during an appearance on MailOnline podcast, Straight To The Comments!
Speaking to hosts Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, Kerry said: ‘I haven’t touched cocaine in 15 years.’

When asked if she has given up alcohol and drugs, she replied: ‘No I love a drink, but coke was more my poison and plus I married my drug dealer because I thought I would get it a bit cheaper.’
She added: ‘I wouldn’t say it was addiction it was more of a co-dependency. This was at a time where I would have 40 paps outside my house, my mum was selling stories on me and I was married to a drug dealer.
‘Cocaine became my only friend it was all I had. Rehab didn’t help me get off coke at all, when I got out I met my drug dealer.’

Kerry went on to speak about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder: ‘See mental health wasn’t a big thing back then, no one knew what bipolar was, I didn’t know, I thought it was a sport!
‘So when I was told I was bipolar no one had ever heard of it and then all of a sudden it became a thing.
‘My drug dependency started well before I was famous, I was 14 and my mum told me it was sherbet and it was speed. I thought that’s what you did with your mum. That was normal for me.
When asked how she went from doing drugs to joining successful pop group Atomic Kittens, Kerry said: ‘I haven’t got a clue, I had a great set of t*ts on me and was in the right place at the right time.’
