Katie Price and cosmetic procedures: what can Christian women learn about when it is enough?

Salomé Criddle explores the tension between modern beauty standards and the divine truth of our inherent worth. She challenges readers to look beyond cultural pressures and rediscover the sacred beauty of being “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

I watched a YouTube podcast recently and was shocked at how different Katie Price’s face looked. She has never been ugly, but this video showed just how many changes she has made over the years. My heart broke because, rather than enhancing her beauty, the alterations looked unsettling. It had me questioning: when is it enough? Where is the line between care, choice, and distortion?

I understand that cosmetic surgery isn’t always about vanity. It can bring restoration to burn victims, those born with disfigurements, or individuals needing corrective procedures after accidents. I’m not adverse to it, but I can’t ignore the question: what does God’s word say about all this?
