Katie Price admits her son Junior Andre constantly tell her she doesn't need any more plastic surgery ahead of her latest procedure, a £10,000 facelift in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Katie, 46, took to her Instagram Story to confirm she had arrived in Turkish capital Istanbul for facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, at the city's Trio Clinic.
She also shared a photo of herself being prepared for surgery with the accompanying caption: '@trioclinicinstanbul surgical tights going on!'
The surgery lasts two-and-a-half to four-and-a-half hours on average and takes two to four weeks to recover from. Katie is accompanied on her 'work trip' by her partner JJ Slater and her eldest child, son Harvey Price, 22.
Prior to the facelift, she was asked by Heat if her five children worry about her surgery habits and replied: 'No, they're fine.

'I just think they’re used to me doing it. It’s the norm for them. I don’t even tell anyone now, not even my mum, because she just moans at me.
'The kids are just like: "Oh, it’s just you, isn’t it, Mum?" Junior always says: "Mum, you’re beautiful, you don’t need anything. You’re stunning anyway." But, they know that’s just me.'
Katie has five children: Harvey, 22, whose father is retired footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess Andre, 17, both of whom she shares with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 10, and Bunny Hayler, 9, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler.
Katie's trip to Turkey comes after she failed to attend her recent bankruptcy hearing.
The former glamour model was absent at a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing on Tuesday.
A warrant has since been issued, because Katie received 'very clear warnings' that she needed to attend court, and she has said she's 'doing the best she can' to rectify her financial issues.
On Instagram on Wednesday, the mother-of-five dismissed recent claims that she has travelled to Turkey after being turned down by other cosmetic surgeons.
She said: 'I'm filming my new documentary. The reason I've chose the Trio Clinic is because I've had friends who have had surgery there and in my opinion they are the best for what I want doing. I can't wait, they're amazing, and they're thorough here.'

On Tuesday, again on Instagram, Katie shared a statement about her current issues.
She wrote: 'Whilst I'm currently aware of the severity of my current personal financial situation with my ongoing bankruptcy, I am today shocked that whilst away working for a documentary on corrective surgeries that I should find myself yet again headline news.
'The media in my opinion once again are trying to cause continued humiliation to myself and family. There are far greater and more pressing issues going on around the world that are more important and I'm sure most people are bored reading stories that are constantly misrepresented.
'I have I am continuing to to cooperate with the relevant people on matters to the best of my ability which will be addressed after my return from work.
'Despite consistent stories trying to humiliate me on my personal misfortunes, I am neither embarrassed or ashamed. I own my situation and I am trying my best to work my out out of it and put matters right.'
Katie added that she is currently going through 'challenging times' and is doing 'the best I can' for the sake of her family.
She wrote: 'I have to continue in my work in order to satisfy these bankruptcy orders which is all I am trying to do right now. I am however not running from matters and will continue to take matters with great seriousness.
'I am doing the best I cam to rectify things during extremely challenging times. Once again I would like to highlight there are far greater and more news worthy stories.
'I will continue to work on my mental health disorders for the sake of my self and my family and do the best I can.'

In May, Katie claimed on her own podcast that she has been signed off from appearing in court for her mental health, after receiving backlash for missing her last bankruptcy hearing to go on holiday to Cyprus.
She had been due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court in May, but at the start of the hearing, lawyers said that she had told them at the last minute she couldn't attend due to health issues. A judge described this excuse as 'scanty'.
Katie then jetted off on holiday to Ayia Napa with her MAFS star boyfriend JJ Slater, facing public backlash after being spotted sunbathing together by the pool.
Taking to her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she co-hosts with sister Sophie Price, Katie claimed she had been signed off from court because she was 'mentally not strong enough'.
