"I'd rather you were still with me when you're 100 than pop your clogs at 42 looking amazing because the anaesthetic finally takes its toll." Jordan had her first op, costing £4,500, in 1998 to enlarge her chest one cup size to a 36D. By then she had already posed topless but soon after her 19th birthday she went under the knife, at the time saying: "Having bigger boobs will make me feel more confident." Just a year later she was back for a second op, again costing £4,500, to go up to a 36DD. That was swiftly followed in 2000 by her third— inflating her to a whopping 32FF— to celebrate splitting with pop star lover Dane Bowers. But this time she had to ditch her original surgeon after he refused to operate again. "He said with my frame the new boobs would make me look stupid," she admitted. "He'd only do it if I put on a stone in weight. I wasn't going to do that so I said I'd find another surgeon." She added: "People think I'm some kind of freak but I know exactly what I'm doing." By then it seems Jordan was already hooked, admitting: "I'm a bit worried I might want them bigger already."
Indeed, Jordan's string of body-sculpting ops has continued in recent years. In 2004 she paid £6,000 to stop her boobs sagging. And when she went into the jungle in I'm A Celeb the same year, she confessed to forking out £10,000 for liposuction and Botox. But since settling down and becoming a mum to son Harvey, five, and her children with hubby Peter — Junior, two, and 11-month-old Princess Tiaamii— Jordan has been keen to reduce her chest size. In December last year she jetted to LA for a £5,500 op to go back to a 32D and she plans to make them "much smaller" when she returns to the US for her fifth op later this year. She said: "They look fine in a bra but they hang too low. I've also got indents where the implant is." At the same time she also splashed out £10,000 on a nose job, plumping up her lips and sculpting her cheekbones. The extent of her surgery was also evident at the launch of her autobiography in February when a nipple could be seen above the line of her low-cut dress. Mr Karidis, who appears on ITV1's Celebrity Surgery, said: "The only reason that happens is the nipples are placed too high. "You can also see the stitches— normally we try to avoid that by using dissolving stitches inside, so you don't get these marks. It's unfortunate."
She could also be exposing herself to the possibility of infection, wounds breaking open and loss of feeling in her nipples. Damage to the milk ducts could stop her breastfeeding if she has any more children—she has already admitted she would put baby plans on hold so she can have surgery in August. Mr Karidis thinks it's too early for the star to be considering another breast reduction. "It's odd. A good uplift should last eight to ten years," he said. "The more you operate, the less return you will see. The skin will only tighten so much and so you can't just keep doing it. "There's a big question mark over whether her surgery is all necessary. And if it's not, then I'd say she's pushing the boundaries." He's now urged Jordan to stop having more ops. He said: "All you're doing is exposing yourself to more risk and adding more scars. "My advice to Katie would be NOT to jump into more surgery— certainly not for at least 18 months." He went on: "There are two types of patient who go overboard—those who've just discovered surgery, like the result, and want to correct the things about themselves. And those who see their anatomy as being distorted. " These patients either need professional help or someone to tell them to step back. Jordan's been swept up in the media for years and I think she feels a duty to keep changing to maintain her public image. "She made her breasts larger to forge a career in glamour modelling and now she's re-positioning herself as an earth mother and had them reduced. She's changing her skin. "But it's a slippery slope. You can get carried away and turn into a person who doesn't see the real ‘you' any more."
