Former X Factor Contestant Katie Brucknell Opens Up About Body Image and Liposuction

Every week while she was competing on the X Factor, Katie Brucknell would flaunt her trim frame in a variety of skimpy outfits, giving the viewers no clue that she was in fact very insecure about her body.

In recent interview with UK magazine Heat, Katie talked about her body and the insecurity she fought since she was 16. She told the magazine that when she was in her teens, she would eat one yoghurt a day and didn’t realize that she was anorexic. She felt like she looked great, but it wasn’t healthy to eat so little so she began to eat more food.

She also told the magazine, “I had lipo when I was 24, I always wanted it ever since I was like 16 or 17, because I hated my body.”

Katie had liposuction two years ago and began having Botox shortly afterward. Even after having liposuction Katie is still unhappy with her body and thinks that she has too much cellulite.

She was voted off the X Factor on Nov. 13th.

Many people look to liposuction to enhance their physical appearance. Dissatisfaction with our bodies is a familiar human condition, and plastic surgery can help us enhance our figures, but happiness with our figures also comes from within. People who are thinking of having liposuction should speak with their chosen surgeon to make certain they will achieve the results they hope for.
