KATHY Griffin has revealed how she almost died after liposuction.

In her new book, Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According To Kathy Griffin, the TV star described how she nearly expired following an operation to reduce the size of her stomach.

“I want women to know that this is what lipo looks like. Like, are you sure you don’t want to just work out a little more,” she says.

“What I can’t figure out is why I wasted time worrying about my looks. I am a comedian. I’m not on the runway in Milan.

“Believe it or not, people don’t come to see me really thinking I’m going to look like Jenifer Aniston.”

GriffIn also described getting a nose job at age 26.

“I was told repeatedly, ‘You would be pretty if it weren’t for that nose,” she said. “You’d work more if it weren’t for that nose. Hey have you considered getting a nose job?’ You would think I had a nose the size of Texas. I was young and impressionable and I was told that enough that I started to believe it, so I got a nose job.”

Griffin also became obsessed with her weight, and tried diet pills and even speed.

“I am very proud of my two weeks on speed,” she jokes. “It was full-on illegal speed. I took it to lose weight, which is not very smart. I just felt three times as hungry afterward.”
