Katherine Ryan Shows Off New Facelift in Lingerie

Katherine Ryan displayed the results of her new face lift as she left an Agent Provocateur event with her husband Bobby Kootstra on Wednesday. 

The comedian, 42, who underwent a £16,000 procedure eight weeks ago, dressed for the occasion in racy lingerie. 

She wore a plunging lace bodysuit which featured a sheer polka dot overlay and a tiny skirt. 

Katherine teamed her outfit with a pair of sheer stockings and elevated her height with peep toe heels. 

The TV personality then covered up with a leather trench coat as she battled the wet weather on the way home. 

Katherine and Bobby were joined at the dinner, which took place at Quo Vadis in Soho, by Emily Atack, who joined them for a selfie.

Katherine revealed she has gone under the knife for a full facelift to 'reclaim her identity' after being pregnant six times in the last five years.

The comedian said the £16,000 invasive procedure took place just eight weeks after she gave birth to her fourth child, Holland, last October.

While she had hinted about having cosmetic work done at the time, she has not disclosed any details until now.

'The surgery was a facelift. Yes, a full facelift - a little bit of fat transfer to my cheekbone area, and a small bleph[aroplasty],' she said on her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, on Tuesday.

'A bleph is when they take a tiny bit of your eyelid skin, though not too much, and then they'll usually - to avoid hollowness, put a little bit of fat back in there too. So I had some fat put in like my upper face, my eyelids, and then I had a facelift.'

Katherine added that the surgery was as much an emotional milestone as a physical one after being pregnant six times in five years, having suffered three miscarriages alongside the births of her three children with husband Bobby Koostra. 

'Almost metaphorically I needed to do something, to reclaim my identity, to reclaim my autonomy, to claw back the face that I had in, like, 2019,' she said.

before heading to the Agent Provocateur event, the TV personality gave her followers a better look at the results 

Katherine added: 'I am not crazy. I'm not trying to wind it back to 2006. I'm just trying to look the way I did, like, pre-COVID, pre-six pregnancies in five years.' 

She had the surgery with Dr Nick Rhodes at the Coppergate Clinic in York, where a full face lift costs upwards of £16,000.

'He is an esteemed consultant plastic surgeon who has trained many of these London guys who charge more,' Katherine added.

'I have seen a lot of his before-and-after work, both in photos and in the flesh. I know real people who've been to see him. I think that is very important when choosing a surgeon.

'And just like Dr. Steven Levine, who did Kris Jenner, said to me, I believe that you and your surgeon have to have the same idea of what pretty is. Dr. Nick Rhodes has done some work on my friends. I think they look beautiful.'

The Canadian star, who shares baby Holland, Fred, four, and Fenna, three, with husband Bobby Kootstra - and has a 16-year-old daughter, Violet, from a previous relationship - said she had 'zero out of ten pain' after the surgery.

'The beauty is you're pretty numb afterwards,' she explained. 'I was bruised, and I was swollen, and I think I am still a little bit swollen. But basically, I just went about my daily life from day one.

'The surgery was a facelift. Yes, a full facelift - a little bit of fat transfer to my cheekbone area, and a small bleph[aroplasty],' she said (pictured in February 2026) 

'They sent me home with some paracetamol. If I had needed stronger drugs, I think that was available, but I didn't. I took ibuprofen, paracetamol for like three days.'

She said that just weeks after the surgery, 'I went to Christmas parties. I took the kids to Lapland. I went to the Royal Hall for carolling. I did all of the Christmas stuff. I looked after a newborn baby.'  

She continued: 'It's important for my marriage that Bobby and I - we both get to enjoy the kids - I think that we should both have the same amount of physical damage.

'And after all those babies... We did not have the same amount of physical damage. Bobby's still a hunk, and my face has gotten fat and thin, and fat and thin, and fat and thin.'

The star said she was pleased Dr Rhodes talked her out of a lip lift, telling her it would not suit her face shape. 'Because I followed his guidance, and I had a beautiful skilled surgeon do my facelift, it doesn't look wild,' she said.

'You get to a point where if you really want to pull it back, you just need a facelift,' she said.

Katherine pushed back against the idea that facelifts are only for older women or always result in an unnatural look, paying tribute to the late Joan Rivers while challenging outdated perceptions.

'People assume that a facelift always looks botched, or always looks crazy, or always looks like you've been in a wind tunnel,' she said. 'But it's for anyone who feels like they have lost a lot of skin elasticity, and they want to mend that laxity with surgery.'

She also rejected suggestions she should have waited until she was older, saying: 'The clue is in the name. If I wanted to lift my face, then the surgery that I needed was a facelift.'

The comedian, who has always been refreshingly open about her cosmetic procedures - including breast augmentation in her early twenties and regular Botox with aesthetician Dr Nina Bal - had alluded to undergoing cosmetic work in December but did not reveal the specific procedure at the time.
