Part 1 of my nose job journey covers the time prior to the operation, the recovery process, the reveal of the shape, and a one month update. Please watch Part 1 before watching Part 2.
• MY NOSE JOB | PART 1 |...
Part 2 contains updates from March through to August, and as you will see, the nose I had immediately after the operation is not the same nose I have today. There were complications during my recovery, the results are nowhere near what I had hoped they would be.

Hope you're safe as well and I love you and your vids💜💙. And you're beautiful no matter what and even if you didn't get a nose job, we will still love you no matter what💜💜 And hope everyone is safe at home 💜💜💜💜💜
I hope you are well and I know it doesn’t change your opinion but your nose is beautiful and so are you no matter what ❤️
Your still beautiful anyway
New nose, old nose, new New nose - youre a wonderful role model and you seem very loved by those in your life.
Hi Alex! I wanted to give you some extra info, only cause I’m sus about your Dr... I don’t like that he didn’t catch your infection... but my sis got rhinoplasty and she has think skin, and her graft on the end of her nose is visible too. So it’s not 100% what your Dr said :c
Btw, you’re gorgeous and I hope your second surgery goes well!
I appreciate that you keep mentioning "but with the state of the world", but in fact, your situation is a prime example of the non-COVID effects of the Pandemic. So many people with medical issues are unable to get the care they need because of restrictions. And other people, whose care & treatment fits into the exceptions, are too scared to go to a doctor or hospital for fear of catching something. A nose job might sound trivial, but this is your breathing, your life, your face. It is important to YOU. You don't need to explain, excuse, or belittle yourself. Your surgery might have been elective, but that doesn't mean you deserve less.
Exactly, she shouldn’t belittle herself because her breathing issues is a big problem to her. Yes, there are people going through worse; but that doesn’t make a problem she’s been dealing with for so many years any less. Especially with one of our main functions; to breathe properly.
For real! There also was no way for her to know in her healing process, a global pandemic would happen. While it could seem ‘selfish’ to be complaining about a nose surgery, this is important to be able to breath and not have the healing process go wrong. And this is all coming from someone who has a chronic illness and suffers from limited care right now. She’s totally valid for this and in the right timeline, she wouldn’t have had the world go to shit while she’s trying to heal from something that’s trying to help her breath properly. Heck, if you’re also gonna get the surgery to fix a breathing problem might as well go all out in my opinion.
Just a side note, I need wrist surgery for a cyst I’ve had since the 7th grade and it was already hard to get appointments and a doctor pre-COVID but now it’s literally impossible and my waist hurts so much ): ):
@@katherine6181 Sorry to hear that. It's really heartbreaking that people are being pushed to the backburner.
@mEioXsei not trying to be rude, but who was shaming her, and how?
Can we appreciate that at least the doctor admitted his mistake? Instead of blaming Alex alone
It’s so rare and I really appreciated it as someone who has had a lot of doctors that refuse to admit they were wrong until I ended up in the hospital again and knocking on deaths door.
@@emilyhall6614 that was me last summer.
@@emilyhall6614 i think it's been proven that when i doctor is fully upfront and transparent about a mistake, how it happened, why it happened, why it was missed, families are far less likely to sue
@@salaciouspop Those are the kind of doctors I'd go back to even if they made a mistake because of honesty and I know I can trust them to fix what they held themselves accountable for.
Also, wouldn’t admitting to fault open him up for a malpractice suit?
Just because a lot is going in the world, doesn't mean what's going on in YOUR world isn't important. So much love to you❤
I thought so too. I think there were good reasons to get an appointment with the doctor! Surgery is still surgery an if follow up appointments were dispensable then why have them in the first place!
Well said!
Thats so true. Well said
Well spoken
They told me I had a deviated septum but it’s slightly deviated but they sure want to cut on me and charge me $10,000 when you start cutting and moving tissues and putting fake material in your body it’s not gonna heal perfectly, and be the same i heard people talking about their sense of smell is lost after they do the surgeries or chronic dry nose after the surgery , I’ll put up with a little bit of deviation before I let them do that to me😁
I work in the medical field and find it shocking that a post op with complications was not viewed as essential by the doctor. That was not a wise call. Even through lockdown he should definitely have seen you and treated you. Bad call on his part.
In Greece I went to the doctor during lockdown for things much less serious. All treatments in private doctors continued normally
I'm not in the medical field but 💯 agree... Like she's having complications that's def essential.
I was allowed in to the doctor’s for a jab to be able to go on an educational trip to Africa. Definitely not essential, it was just done with the hope of the world being open by June so it was done around the same time as this. I know I’m in a different country but I don’t see how that could have been seen as worth it & this not??
Seriously in the E.R. we get post OP issues in constantly. Usually they are nothing.... but occasionally it is .... this.
People were dying and all hands were on deck. But, he did a horrible job of giving her proper directions before sending her off.
"2020 did not go as planned"
This hit home
Please don't blame yourself, no one could've predicted this would happen!
Silicone Julie no. She trusted a professional after doing months of research. It’s the surgeons fault. Are we not supposed to trust our doctors who are trained for years to help us? That’s all she did was ask for help. Research and trust. Not her fault at all
A good doctor would NEVER tell you to take antibiotics until it looks, smells, or feels better! You need to take antibiotics until the prescription is completely taken! That’s how the disease or infection comes back, and can also now gain resistance to the antibiotic you were taking because you didn’t finish it!
just saw another comment saying the same thing, once I heard "antibiotic" I was expecting a yellow text about how it was wrong to stop, but I listened carefully and what he said was correct, he said complete the prescription, and if the smell stops, no need for another week course, the smell reappeared so she was prescribed for another week. which is ok.
He said to take it until the first week was up, his initial presc was a week regimen- he said to renew the prescription if she still noticed the issue, and you also have to remember that you are hearing this second hand from the patient at a later date, you don’t know exactly how he worded his advice and you also don’t know what he prescribed, either.
Uh you heard wrong. He said to finish it and then not continued taking a second round of the meds.
@@steph_lopez finish till the smell gone basically it could take 1-2 weeks
Yeah I've been screamed at to finish my antibiotics by my mom for this very reason not wanting to finish the prescription
PLEASE do a part 3. It's a year later (November 2021) Covid is still around, and just watched both of your other videos. I have to know how the revision went. PLEASE!
Agreed! With before, during and finally today shots. I think it looks gorgeous in the most recent videos. I actually love the slope of it.
Yes! I’m also here for part tres,
Hope all went well!
Just what i though
We do need a Part 3 !! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Part 3! I’m thinking about a rhinoplasty so please let me know!
Your nose in general doesn’t look bad now but the breathing issue really sucks
Her nose is adorable, but I believe she needs to do whatever makes her feel happy. I have a Yubaba nose and I can still feel pretty and happy, even though is not the beauty pattern society demands. Also, not breathing properly sucks!
She’s lucky ... I broke my nose and since the operation I have this problem on both sides and I can’t smell anymore and it’s not that straight anymore...😅
@@teutaahmeti3182 has it improved at all since then
@@Aly_224 well I was 14 at the time and I’m 21 now. So it’s safe to say I will need surgery in the future to fix it hahahahah. Btw I heard that it’s pretty unhealthy to breath from your mouth that’s the only reason why I consider surgery. My doctor told me I have a beautiful nose and if I get it fixed it will probably change...
It doesn't seem trivial at all because it's *your face* and *your nose*, important for your breathing too.
Plus we dont need any videos about corona, there's plenty of those and this isn't a news channel, this is her channel and she can put whatever she wants on it so anything about her is fitting and this is a video cautioning others😌
@@crimsoncamellia7079 Ikr, she had a full on operation and recovery. It's hardly trivial.
She also had a serious infection NEAR HER BRAIN! That's super scary.
as a person who got two nose jobs, let me say this: the problem it is not in your nose, but in your surgeon. if a surgeon is truly good, he will be able to fix all of your problems, believe me. i have seen surgeons ruining people's lives cause they aren't able to deal with a person's nose and i have seen surgeons making literally magic with their hands. and never, NEVER, repeat the mistake and get a second nose job with the same surgeon.
Revision rhinoplasties with a different surgeon are more expensive because they are usually more complex. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford that, especially when the initial surgeon is offering a reduced fee. It’s a sad reality 😢
@Anna i 100% agree with you, it is not fair, but i would wait more years to make more money to spend in another surgeon than do it now for a lower cost, trust me. i recommend seeing a video loren hill made about her 4 or 5 rinos, she made that mistake and regret it so much.
@@renreop769 thank you for your reply, that’s a very good recommendation! I think people go to the same surgeon not only because of the cost but also because they can’t bare to live with the new nose for years until they save more money. Rhinoplasty really teaches you to be so patient with the timing.
@@user-hi7ii5oi4y it does :((( i mean everyone who had a nose job had to wait until at least 16 or 18 to get one so i beg yall to be patient and save more money until making your nose even worst, thats what i did
it was 2x more expensive? yes but it was worthy, i knew that if my first surgeon couldn't do my nose good at the first time the second time why would it be better?
Yeeeeeeeeeesssssss!
Hi Alex, I hope your revision went well. Are you able to do a part 3? We are all very invested in your nose and hope we can see you smile happily when it's the way you want it to be.
My thoughts exactly!
I totally agree!
She said on tik tok she had her 3rd operation!!!
@@sisarka468 and then what happened?
@@sisarka468 third???
Ok, my issues that I'm having with some of these comments:
It's nobody's fault, not hers and not the doctor's. Things like these HAPPEN, unfortunately.
For people saying "the doctor didn't listen to her" YES HE DID. he could not see her in person and had to try to help her with things SHE could do. when one thing doesn't work, he tried other options. Otherwise it would have been "oh it's not helping? Keep doing it anyway"
and please, don't ever shame people for having, or wanting to have plastic surgery, it's their choice.
She had a post op checkup with him, and expressed her very early concerns at that checkup and it sounds like he didn’t take them seriously then. So I think you’re wrong to put no blame on the doctor.
@@meinkanta she said he examined with a camera and everything seemed fine, sometimes things like this happens, medicine is not always as predictable as everyone thinks.
and she seems to trust him, so just because we've seen a video about it, doesn't mean we fully understand the entire situation
@Victoria Frank Staph infections aren't a standard risk for nose jobs specifically. I feel like much of her healing issues are related to the staph infection not being handled for months. This is why you call everything out to your doctor even if it feels silly or unrelated (such as a funky smell that won't go away). Bother them all you need to, you paid them and they charged you for their time to start. It's not her 'fault', but you also can't fault the doctor for not being psychic.
@Victoria Frank i actually had this exact surgery (not the rhinoplasty, but all the other parts) in february, and no one said anything about risks or complications whatsoever. i think because of it being such a standard procedure that's booked to be done on multiple people a day, it can become fairly routine to gloss over those bits. the ones who were telling me what to be careful of or look out for were the nurses later when i explicitly asked, not my dr. not saying if it's right or wrong, but just stating that this is pretty common/standard. when i went to get my tonsils removed when i was 21, they didn't list any risks or complications that could arise either.
i kind of suspect the reasoning for this is to avoid freaking out or worrying patients and allowing issues to be addressed potentially as they come out ? i'm not really sure. but just wanted to add my .02.
EDIT: actually, to add onto that, my dr preemptively put me on anti-biotics. i should say that i'm in the US however, so standard procedure is likely different everywhere.
As someone who's literally had a major surgical infection doctors tend to downplay these kinds of things. I do think that Drs should pay extra care to patients complaints if something feels off then it probably is.
When you started talking about the piercing smell and the fluid my jaw dropped omg. That must have been pure torture having to smell that constantly.
Saaaame, I knew it was an infection as soon as she said that.
@Kah kah I could just remember the smell of my nose and septum piercing when it was healing
Kah kah omg yeah I occasionally smell mine, I clean it regularly but some days it just smells stronger. 6 months in it definitely smells a lot less. I can’t imagine how horrible it must’ve been for Alex though.
@@IssieAndLife - is it the same, umm...."cheesy" scent, goopy ear piercings, can get?
I clean my ears, earrings, & pierced holes, regularly, but....sometimes that funk scent, happens. That's ears, so, is it the same/similar, to a nose piercing?
@@LauraFunFunFloweries Yeah it's the 'cheesy' smell lol, it's not the same as the ear piercing gunk smell but it is similar. I clean all around my septum almost daily but occasionally it smells regardless.
I would love an update video on this! Thank you so much for your brutal honesty and vulnerability; you’re amazing and totally justified in these feelings
Part 3 please. I really hope the operation/s went well for you and you can breath again. You are very pretty, no matter what your nose looks like. Just remember you can decide to reinvent how you like to look at any time, it’s just a decision away. Hang in there ❤️
I've never clicked so fast in my lifeee
Me tooo
same o.o
Turned her post notifs to all just to watch this vid!
Sameeeeee
Saaaaaaame!
My heart broke for you when you started referring to your nose as, "the nose" and not, "my nose". The stress and difficulty of this all must have been so awful. I'm going through some medical problems at the moment, too, so I get how difficult and alienating it is to be told, "just wait it out. It'll be fine. Unless you end up in hospital about it, we can't do much right now". All my love and support and well wishes to you darling!
People that speak English as a second language probably haven't noticed that, I know I didn't. I watched it again! I get it now. Thank you for pointing that out! I hope her nose gets better soon, she went thru so much so far!
I read this as "my nose broke for you"... help
OMG same. For a year and a half I've been in agony and had 2 unsuccessful surgeries, ( I've had 6 surgeries overall for my condition). It's awful to feel at war and alienated from a part of your own body. It has such a negative impact on your self image.
For the record you look beautiful. You looked amazing before, and even more so now. Your nose shape is actually perfect, you just need to be able to breathe now. You poor thing. I hope the 2nd surgery is a success. Thinking of you 🖤
Wow...I really feel for you...what a drag to go through that and then it not be right. Blessings and love...I am keeping you in my prayers!!✌️💖💖💖🐞🦋💟🌹
!!!!!
With antibiotics you’re supposed to take the entire prescription to make sure the infection stays gone! Your doctor seems extremely incompetent if he says you can go off them once the smell goes away.
That's true always take the full box of antibiotics even if symtoms go
There's a minimum of 5 days to a top of 10 days or 2 weeks I think, after that you must change antibiotic because probably it's the wrong one
I'm going to say the antibiotics are augmentin duo forte just by the frequency and length mentioned. And also because it's commonly prescribed as a head infection antibiotic. It is absolutely normal to take it 5 days at a time as 5 days (10 tablets in total) is one complete course of augmentin duo forte. There are too many people thinking they know shit when they don't. Infections happen and it's no one's fault. Especially with covid happening. It was all a bit of a mess of what was allowed and what wasn't allowed to happen. Just be grateful for good health in the end.
@Lotte No, you are saying nonsense. No one gets "immmune" to antibiotics (those are drugs, not viruses or bacteria !), it makes no sense. It only makes bacteria ANTIBIOTIC resistant, which makes antibiotics useless afterwards, indeed. But your sentence was scientifically very wrong.
@Lotte Not finishing antibiotics helps lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria, NOT immunity on the part of one person. So called super bacteria are becoming a major problem globally.
I don't even know how I ended up here but I need to know how this ends. I am more invested in your nose and adorable freckles than I am my own personal life! Also, I had the same thing done a lot of years ago and when the doc took my stents out, he pulled them out like he was trying to start a motorboat and I almost threw up in his lap. Would have served him right... Sounds like you handled it like a champ! Part 3, pretty please!
Honestly if I was you I would consider contacting Dr. Nassif from the show “botched.” I don’t think you look bad by any means but with the breathing problems he usually recommends NOT going to the same doctor twice if they messed it up the first time. They usually fly people out for the show and stuff too but Idk how Covid would affect that. No matter what happens I hope you find some peace! 💕
Yesssss. Do NOT go back to the same doctor. I also suggested botched. I think she’d get on with her yt channel and following.
Yeah.. i don't think anyone wants to fly to the usa for a while..
It would be an interesting episode to do an online consultation. I actually wonder if maybe the first doctor didn’t recognize something that the second missed. Doing grafts along the nostrils might have prevented the skin from collapsing inward. Most people might do fine with the graft along the center, but her cartilage wasn’t the only problem.
@@MasterFuuma I agree with Meredith, an online consultation would at least help her decide what’s best and would give her way more insight and actual helpful information. Going to the same doctor I’ve heard is never a good idea but it’s her life and her nose so I just hope whatever she chooses it works well for her! 💐 i also think with her channel and past trouble with multiple breaks in her nose they would really consider her. I know Dr. Nassif talks a lot about that and helps a lot of people with similar problems.
Probably expensive and not covered by insurance though
Can I just say: this was no-one's fault. Not the surgeon (who clearly did their best to advice a worried patient despite also having to wait for swelling to decrease to properly analyse the situation) and definitely not Alex. Can we please not place blame and instead be grateful that Alex documented what is clearly a very painful process for her, and commend her for her bravery of agreeing to a second surgery 👏🏻
Alex did everything she could she seems to have been a great patient the doctor on the other hand should have never gave her a steroid shot the same day she was given antibiotics. Steroids suppress the immune system. I think he also should have caught the infection faster because of how excruciating the pain was for her in certain places looking back I am like wow she had signs of the infection all the way back to when she 1st went to the hotel.
Petra Thorsty - not laying blame here. I am disturbed by two things; the surgeon's cavalier, dismissive attitude about her concerns, and a post-op patient not being considered an immediate - care situation. Anyone post-op is not a routine care patient.
she shouldve been told what warning signs of infection are which she clearly wasnt. like thats the surgeons job and a v clear one.
@@krisb5695 that isn't necessarily true. The steroid injection would have been appropriate IF the surgeon had got IV antibiotics initiated. This surgeon is blowing my mind on his incompetence. 😟
@@shegeek5559 agreed! 💯
Oh boy. I hope your revision surgery went well, since you had it the day before yesterday. That was a rollercoaster ride, girl! Yes, please, give us an update. We worry about you!
I also wonder how it went. Hope your recovery is better than last time
I'd like to know as well
How is your nose doing? Will you be doing a part 3? I really hope things have gotten better!
As someone that feels very invested your journey I would definitely like a video on your second operation. I really hope that you get some kind of a fairy tale ending to this saga. I also think that this series of videos is really important and might give people a bit of an insight into surgery and what it actually is. As well as all the variables that surgery deals with. Every person is truly different and therefore surgery sometimes comes with unpredictable results.
I also really appreciate that you mention the fact that people don't always show the whole healing process and it reminds me of only showing a picture of a fresh tattoo. It doesn't really show the end result and could be quite deceiving.
Even though I'm in the wonky nose club and have named my nose the "butt nose" because of it's shape, I'm not going near a nose job. I'll just continue to try and appreciate it more.
Happy that you are learning to appreciate yourself as you are! You are beautifully and wonderfully made!
Please don’t talk about yourself like that 💗💗💗
NO she shouldn't have this second operation, i have done the same surgery , it takes more than a year to heal, she is being OCD. i had it done 5 years ago with the best doctor that specializes in this. IT TAKES TIME. and if I'm not careful still to this day it can swell up. its the nature of the beast. her nose looks perfect she should stop right now. if you care for her please give this a thumbs up
@@bm4867 Let me rephrase. I'm not giving her any medical opinion, I don't have any right to. If she goes through with the operation I would like another video, that's all.
And if you paid attention to the video you'd know that the breathing is the biggest issue. She can't breathe properly, that's the main problem, and that isn't just going to magically fix itself.
@@celestek.2395 That's very nice of you to say, but it is a bit wonky and the tip of my nose is split down the middle like a little butt. I'm trying to make a fun thing out of it to like it more :)
But thanks for looking out for me^-^
I hate to say I'm 'excited' for this update since it didn't go right, but... I've been looking forward to this update for a solid 24 hours straight
Same.
It's one of the very few things I've been actually excited for this year haha
@@mksketchms Right?? I was refreshing the page from the '10 hours ago' mark hoping it would be uploaded hahaha
I watch you , and I'm 73 actually today May 24th .I think you are very brave , and such a sweet pretty girl.I think your parrot loves you .🤞❌❤️
♥️♥️♥️
HOW IS YOUR NOSE NOW??? I haven’t seen anything more about it.
I’m also really curious
Me too. 🙏
Me three!
Me 2 🙏🙋🏼♀️ feel so bad for her 😥 I really hope she's Okey!! 🙏
I'd like a part 3 update as well!
Anyone watching this... please don’t ever ignore that smell she’s talking about, ESPECIALLY in combination with any type of liquid. In the hospital we refer to that as “the infection/bacteria smell” - once you smell it you know it forever lol. Piercings get that smell due to dead skin cells & bacteria build up, which is normal during the healing process (unless there are noticeable signs of infection). But if it’s something like a cut or anything unrelated to a piercing that smell (esp
with discharge) is never “normal”, & should be looked into!
This is incredibly useful info - if anything, lifesaving. Thanks for sharing!!
They should have told her ahead of time to watch out for a smell like that.
As a professional piercing artist... We call the smell "ear cheese" and its because it smells like dirty feet and stinky cheese 😬 in case y'all needed to know what smell to look for specifically 🤷
so glad this is here and has been recognized! piercings that have finished healing and are closed on the inside are not a reason for concern, but absolutely, ANY WOUND OR SURGERY OR PIERCING STILL IN THE HEALING PROCESS SHOULD NOT HAVE A SMELL LIKE THIS OR DISCHARGE COMING OUT!
Umm what if I never have smelled that and I’ve gotten my ears pierced twice is that normal? The first time didn’t end up well by brother yanked his helmet off my head
Can we appreciate Archie being concerned with his mommas nose because she’s touching it so much and how gentle he is too :,( (Edit: just saw him bite her chin 🤦♀️😭 at least it wasn’t her nose)
😂😂😂😂😂😂 He fooled ya for a minute there
lol yeah Archie is a nippy bird huh?
He was just reprimanding her for being mean to her sensitive nose :P
Archie: Be nice to my mommas new beak!!
I'm sure it's extremely stressful to have so much uncertainty about a feature of THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FACE, but I want you to know that it looks like a nose. You don't look weird at all, you look totally fine and normal to me in like every single one of these clips, except the ones with extreme swelling. From the front it really doesn't give a different impression than it did before, and from the side it is very nice. I hope you're doing well after the second surgery, and I hope you can breathe better. It seems like it will have been a much less extreme operation.
I learned a lot from these 2 videos, it definitely showed me the other side of plastic surgery and the risks. Your honesty and sharing your journey I'm sure will help many others make more informed decisions. I really enjoyed following your story in part 1, you did such a great job of capturing what you went through and you still found opportunities for funny moments. Your husband and Sam were so caring and helpful! I'd love to see another update on how things have been since August.
She said “piercing smell” and my brain IMMEDIATELY remembered that smell
I know! I gagged so hard at the memory. Just eww! I can't imagine having to breathe that smell in constantly because it's coming from the nose itself.
It’s crazy that a staph infection is the same smell. At least I know what a staph infection will smell like if I ever get one in my airways
I have a nose piercing and MANY piercings in my ear so I'm VERY familiar with that smell LMAO
I lucked out and never actually experienced it in piercings, worst thing was a small bump on the back of the helix one that went away with chamomile compresses, BUT I still can remember the smell and look of my knee after I sliced it open deep when I was 10...
as someone that didn't have their piercing never heal for like a year. And now its grown in. I really suffered from that smell for nothing smh
The part when you start talking about the “white liquid” and horrid smell... as a nurse I was like: NOOOOOO 🙈🙈
I'm not a nurse or a medical professional at all but I did the same. 🥺
Sophie Lauren I was internally screaming ANTIBIOTICS!!! NOW!!! 😬🙈
Same👋 nurse here and this is Absolutely essential she get this taken care of.
you are not the only one XD not a nurse but the smell alone said enough.
I know little bit of first aid but besides that i know nothing about medical stuff, never had a staph infection, my hamster had a staph infection in her uterus (she's okay now) and that’s exactly what happened, the white stuff and the horrible smell I was like: “OMG NOOOOO!... GURLLLL DONT GO BACK!!! LUMPS?! REEEEEE!”
I am just going to learn to love my big ass nose after watching this. Thanks for the education!
Me too sister me too
They told me my septum was slightly deviated and wanted to cut on me and I said hell no ! And it seems like they tell everybody by the way your turbinates are enlarged and we need to do that too while we’re in there🤪
Same here. Nothing wrong with big noses now. 😄🤍
TBH I've joked for years about my nose, stuff like "can we get a family discount for us all to get them done?" It's absolutely a genetic thing, and I pray that my son has my husband's nose so this one can die with me. I've been made fun of about it for my whole life, and it's only gotten bigger as I've gotten older.
BUT I would NEVER get it fixed. Ever. It's my nose! I wouldn't like waking up to see someone else in the mirror. I've learned to love it because it makes me ME. My husband fell in love with and is attracted to this nose! He's never said "I love you despite your nose."
I wish I could give this feeling to everyone else who hates their nose. Now if someone insults it, I just say "yup, that's my nose" and move on with my day.
@@LizRealGirlBeauty Great words of wisdom that’s real talk sister👏👏👏
Man it makes me so upset when doctors just dismiss your concerns... especially when something is actually wrong and could potentially have been prevented if they were actually concerned. This has happened to me personally in Canada as well. I'm hoping that whatever happens in the future is nothing but good news for you!
I think you should post a video about the second surgery, so everyone who is still considering it can see what maybe a second operation can do and the outcome. We as subscribers want to know if you can finally breathe and you are finally happy with it too 😊
The time-lapse of photos at the end really got me. You can visibly see the change of emotions and how sad this whole process has made her.
For people saying she should've told the doctor immediately when she started smelling that bacterial scent and seeing white liquid, its really hard to tell when you're overreacting vs a valid concern. Especially when you're going through a rollercoaster of emotions. You don't really have the emotional distance to evaluate whether or not you should be concerned because that's all you are.
Its a difficult lesson to learn, but be the worried patient. Who cares if you're overreacting as long as you can assuage your concerns. Ask a ton of questions if need be because it is not on the patient to instinctively know the warning signs. But it is on the patient to be their own advocate (its just how the world works unfortunately).
You look as beautiful as always and I really hope the 2nd surgery works. 💕🤞
Yes, exactly. Plus, all the other concerns she'd raised with the surgeon up until that point had been brushed off (not blaming the doctor either; most of the time it probably IS just swelling that goes down on its own). It's really hard sometimes to stand up for yourself when you feel like something isn't right, especially when you have a professional assuring you it's no big deal. After awhile you can start to second guess your gut instinct, and even feel like you're overreacting and wasting their time. It can be especially difficult for women - research has shown doctors tend to be more dismissive of pain and other symptoms in women than they are in men. Again, not saying Alex's doctor did this, but even one doctor doing so in the past can make it harder to seek help in the future, even from good doctors who listen to you.
None of this might apply, but people shouldn't be so quick to judge anyone's actions in this case. Sounds like a combination of mistakes, accidents, bad timing, bad luck, and general 2020-ness. Here's hoping the revision goes well, and Alex comes out the other side healthy and happier.
These are the only two videos of you I’ve ever seen... I went through over 10 years of dental work that’s left me okay-ish. The physical and emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on was so much like yours. I’ve never seen my experience so well captured by anyone else. It’s important to remember you look stunning to others, but you look in the mirror and don’t see the person you’ve seen your entire life. That alone it traumatic, but your experience has been so challenging and COVID?!?!? You must be just beside yourself! I hope things went well on the 6th. Please let us know...
What ever happened to the septoplasty revision? I hope you're doing okay, what a wild ride :(
Still as beautiful as ever no matter the shape of your nose.
I completely agree. Love you Alex
The moment you said “smell” and there was discharge, my stomach dropped. I thought abscess but staph is even worse 😖
I've had multiple abscesses and staph infections and i can tell you in my opinion abscess is MUCH. MUCH. WORSE than just a bad smell... 😬 And the operation is the most painful thing i have ever experienced, and i've had many health issues.
As soon as she mentioned a smell I immediately knew she needed antibiotics.
vi x2 that’s interesting, because I’ve never had Staph, but I’ve had regular infections and an abscess in piercings (my body really doesn’t like them I learned), but I never needed any sort of surgery.
@@XJunixAnnexKayxScarX i meant sinus pilonidalis and peritonsillar abscess, not a small abscess either. I would assume your piercing abscess was small, like a pea? I needed operation, where they drain the puss out and also an operation where they cut a big chuck of flesh from my ass. 😂
@@XJunixAnnexKayxScarX oh and btw, DON'T GOOGLE THOSE.
I’m so sorry for being so late to this video but Alex, I really want to thank you for being so transparent with all of us. We really appreciate your honesty that’s why you’ve always been one of my fave YTubers. As someone who’s also struggling with her nose (just on how it looks, I can breathe well, thank God), I finally made the decision not to go through with any nose surgery. I guess since I can breathe fine, there’s no point in me doing it plus I learned how to love it. Many people always say I have a flat, bulbous nose but guess what? It’s MY NOSE and I love it. Also, I just want to say, you’re so beautiful before and after the surgery. I actually thought you didn’t need it at all but when you mentioned on part 1 that you had breathing issues, I’m thinking maybe the surgery will do her good, so I’m sorry to hear you had too many complications. I hope all goes well soon. 🙏🏼💙🤞🏼
Your courage, sense of humour and positivity in the face of such a struggle is inspiring. But don't ever apologise for feeling vulnerable or in pain.
When she started talking about The Smell and the drainage from her nose my anxiety went like 📈
Like omg your nose is just such a direct line to your brain this is how you get an infection that kills you I haven't finished the video yet but I already feel so bad for her
Oh my God. And what if it had been MRSA? That should have been cultured.
Kathryn, that's 100% correct... a Tiny bit of mold straight up my nose sent me to the ICU with meningitis for over a month....and my brain swelled and I lost a lot of functions and memories.....it was the worst thing that i have ever been through... and i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.... i forgot how to turn my own shower on... and how to use my washing machine...forgetting traumatic memories would have been a wonderful thing if it had not caused so many horrible other problems... I will never be the same person I once was and personally I was okay with that.... but it effected those around me so negatively... every day I hear "I miss the old you" or "I cared about you before you got sick" or "I wish you had never gotten sick because you were more fun back then"... those things make me wish meningitis had totally removed me from the planet.....
@@GadereneLegion could you imagine how fast MRSA would have attacked her brain... MRSA is a hell of an infection and this situation could have been so bad... and happened so fast....😪🥺😥
If a doctor said to me, “sorry I can’t help you” after doing this to me.
Yeah, I’d be drafting my lawsuit.
I completely agree! I would have gone to multiple surgeons for their opinions! This guy seems like a fraud.. 😞
Heather Wakeman idk about a fraud, just too proud to admit he could have made a mistake.
Unfortunately you usually sign a document that states the precautions of under going cosmetic surgery so it protects the doctors and leaves very little room for patients the only time someone can open a lawsuit against a docotor is mal practice or breaking code of ethics. Theres so many horror stories of surgeries gone wrong and theres zero ability to open court case.
Littleladylulu Lulu ehhh they all make you sign that. After working in the medical field for awhile I’ve kinda learned that form doesn’t really protect the doctor as much as you’d think!
@@123blacksheep She kept complaining about a problem, was compliant and was ignored. That's substandard care and can be considered malpractice. The first doctor knew she was very high risk that's why he was only willing to do the less invasion procedure. If the first two opinions are contrasting, have a third consultation.
I'm terribly sorry this was your experience post-op, but also want to express tremendous gratitude for you being so candid and sharing it with people. I've been considering getting the same exact procedure, both septoplasty and rhinoplasty, and am now leaning toward not doing it because of your rollercoaster ride with it. I'm 33 - I have a bump that I've hated all my life (it became noticeable in 4th grade), and my sinuses are pretty terrible. I'll get migraines, frequent sinus infections, and can't really breathe well during workouts/ runs without my nose becoming literally a constantly dripping faucet.
I've thankfully found that breathe right strips every night while sleeping and during the day (when I'm not with people, I'll remove it and tolerate needing to blow my nose a lot instead) has helped TREMENDOUSLY, so I might just carry on with that for the rest of my life and just deal with it because I am just so, so sad for you about your experience!!! I know 100000% that feeling of wanting it all to be better, but now wonder if it's just as good as it will get, and am willing to deal with that.
I'm so sorry :( :(
Hey sweetheart! Thank you for sharing this; I really appreciate it! It’s so important that people understand that permanent surgeries don’t always have a happy ending and can even be worse than before. I did a cosmetic procedure that has caused me long term health issues and cost me thousands of dollars already, and thousands more for years to come. 🙁 So I love you for sharing this very personal story with us ❤️ You’re gorgeous and effervescent and I admire you so much! xo
I think that after seeing all of Alex's struggles with the surgery, I'm fine living with my breathing problems.
If taken care of properly and is only for breathing the complications aren't gonna be as bad. When altering the shape like with rhinoplasty it is gonna be all weird for awhile but if its just septoplasty or turbinoplasty it shouldnt be as drastic
.
That was my thought but my partner said no, i need it haha. He can beer me breathe from another room
Same!
Same girl, I broke mine 3 times when I was younger, and I have immense seeking issues due to it (everyone who has slept with me told me I have supper irregular breeching, sometimes is stop breathing for like 30secs and then wake up with a huge inhale, etc), so I've been considering it too, but now I'm like 'naynay'
Plus it didn't even fix her breathing so you're paying thousands to not fix the issue half the time.
“massage it 3 times a day”
“massage it 20-30 times a day”
“don’t massage it”
.... wtf
That's what medical professionals mostly do, recommend the thing that's most likely to help, recommend it more and if all fails cut it
Could have been just swelling, so massage can help drain it, no one expected this to happend
Julia Vögele i get that and i understand the pandemic also hindered this process for her but god damn i would be SO frustrated with this entire situation it makes me feel awful for her.
@@genuineasmrr yes for sure frustrating
I hope the other operations heals better
I like your natural nose, u look like a pretty forest fairy
I just heard about your passing and now I watching all your vids again. I'm so sad, rip ❤❤
Thank you for the great detail in your two videos. It was very informative. I would love to see another video to see how you’re doing today in 2023. Cheers.!
I feel like this should have been deemed an essential visit to the doctor. Especially since you had a staph infection. Staph infections don't always end up great, you could have died. Plus, it's your nose and part of the surgery was to correct breathing issues and yours had gotten worse. Breathing is pretty essential and should be looked at as an emergent situation that justifies a visit. I am all sorts of angry for (and with you, I imagine).
Sending positive vibes your way!
I totally agree... I cant believe she was just left with those issues for several months.. I mean nose surgery especially in case of infection etc can be extremely dangerous....
I really admire how she was able to even wait that long.. I would have gone crazy... Seriously ><
They should have helped her right away instead of letting it get worse for such a long time. Especially since her issues had been constantly re-occuring and obviously NOT NORMAL AT ALL.
I had rhinoplasty myself and when she kept talking about all those complicatioms I just kept thinking 'omg no pls Alex you have to see a professional asap.. That's not normal.. Omg pls no, dont just wait'
Rhinoplasty in Australia is probably a lot more expensive than what I paid too.. Unbelievable how they treated her...
I definitely agree!
Tracking the healing process of surgery is essential--full stop. It doesn't matter if it was cosmetic, elective, or medically necessary; the only way things heal properly is through proper monitoring. If there was a definite timespan--such as two weeks or a month--I could see waiting. But when it's indefinite, the patient is fresh from surgery, and complications are being noted, a visit to the doctor is definitely essential and needed.
Cannot agree more.. I accidentally gave myself a staph infection by my nose and when I went in the doc was like lol you could've died if it persisted and that was just days. It's so dangerous it can spread to your brain, especially being in the T zone I literally shat bricks when she said staph I just knew it 😭 and MERSA never fully leaves you, it can leave persisting problems in the future. I feel for her so hard :(
Skiesablue How did you give yourself a staph infection?
I'm agreeing with you, but I also want to put it out there that the smell and liquid seemed to be the biggest tell that it was a staph infection and she didn't disclose that until she had an appointment with the surgeon months later. Again, I'm not blaming either party, but the surgeon is not an oracle and I'm sure it's hard to catch something like that over limited communication through emailing. Just a really unfortunate situation I must say. Some speculation around the pandemic rules: There might be special rules that constitutes something as an emergency situation and I think that it might've been too narrow in what it includes. If that's the case I would say that the government made a mistake in their ruling of this and should've opened it up a bit more to at least include post-op appointments.
Unfortunately there are a lot of doctors who’ll keep saying it’s ok it’s ok it just takes time for about a year. After the time has passed you can no longer sue the doctor because the statute of limitations has already passed.
"Statue of limitations" doesn't exist outside of the states. Crimes don't expire abroad, usa is just dumb.
@@LR-hu2pj I think it's really hard to sue doctors in Australia though. Or even complain about them.
@@missquinberly it's impossible to sue plastic surgeons anywhere because you sign a contract beforehand that waives the surgeon from any liability.
맥스 she didn’t have it in the states and her doctor disregarded her. Corruption is everywhere you imbecile
Statute of limitations is a criminal thing. There is a limit on how much time you have to sue someone in the States though. I’d assume there’s some sort of similar rule other places.
He told you to massage your nose but didn’t tell you about the damn stitches inside?????? Doc is sus asf
Thank you for posting this and sharing your story. I think this kind of story is important for people to hear. I would love to hear from you again and how things have been going! would love a part 3
The doctors on the show "Botched" always tell their patients they can't get a revision surgery until 12 months post-op. Otherwise there is a much higher risk of complications.
I’m commenting to bump this comment so that she will have a better chance of seeing this comment even though that was three months ago
Weeks lol not months
Yes
Bumpppo
So they have to wait a year ?
When I had my back surgery for scoliosis, in my post ops I kept telling the doctor that the skin on top of my rib cage, under my boobs felts numb. No feeling at all. They kept telling me that it’s normal and it will go away. A year post op, it did not go away. He said it was a major surgery and I was on my tummy for a long time, it will take some time to regain sensation. 12 years later, still no sensation. The doctors never listened to me and didn’t realize that I suffered nerve damage. I understand that was a natural risk of the surgery, and I’m okay with that. But I would have appreciated that the doctors listen to me and just tell me the truth in regards to what they suspected was happening.
This is a huge issue with women - doctors do NOT listen to us. Our concerns as seen as dramatized due to an ongoing underlying belief in Hysteria that STILL pervades the medical world. Still!
Im so sorry that happened to you im so angry just reading it. Its so common to be brushed off... A doctor once tried to get me back on accutane at 17 after I tried to suicide whilst on it. A few years after a huge discussion surrounding its effects on teenagers and depression. He was so patronizing and ignored me... I'll never forget.
I completely understand! I had the same surgery about 9 years ago, while I didn't go numb in the same place, I had various places that are numb and haven't regained any feelings. such has the inside of both of my armpits, toward my breasts, the bottom of my lower back is numb for the most part, along with the top (tho those are reasonable spaces since they did cut through from top to bottom for my surgery), and in part of my thighs! though the difference I have is that I was told that's what happens sometimes and it may or may not come back. i'm not sure what age you were but I was 12 at the time so that may have been why they were more inclined to list to me about numb parts!
i'm glad that you've come to terms with it though! I still struggle sometimes with mine and with people touching numb spots and having some pain!
Princess Stabbity it is a huge problem. You are right. Later on in life I’ve had a few other issues. I KNEW something was wrong but never had a doctor truly believe me. Which is very concerning.
Artistic Shell man. I’m so sorry. That sucks! I still have a weird sensation there. I can feel pressure. So it’s a very weird kind of a numb feeling. I had my surgery when I was 16. I’ve been in pain ever since from it. Tough surgery. Scoliosis has been the hardest challenge I’ve faced. The chronic pain never ends.
@@selty it definitely is, years back I told my doctor my symptoms and asked if they would test me for lyme disease. However they ignored my concerns and told me I was fine. After a year of suffering and after persisting... they tested me, and I had Lyme LOL.
Seriously, words cannot describe how invested I have become in your nose. I know you indicated in a recent video that the saga is still ongoing. I think your nose is lovely, front and side. Hope everything is starting to look up!
do you know which video the indication was in please?
Wow what a journey 😳 Please, please do a part 3, this is so important for people to see!! I hope you’re feeling better by now!!
I would definitely like to see "part 3" when you get the revision. I just want to know that you and your nose are better!
I’m sorry this didn’t go as planned
Please do a part 3 I just want to make sure you’re okay
I love how you edited it and put spoiler alerts and gave the future updates with every time you were wondering about certian things.
I would love to see an updated video. I actually love how your nose looks, the not bring able to breath is definitely very unfortunate, really.
I appreciate this video very much as it doesn't glamorize anything and puts the reality of the operation there for everyone to see. This was a very big operation.
I've been for a consult and my surgeon said he has never seen a septum as bad as mine it, looks like a crinkle chip and I also cannot breath at all. There is also some other sinus problems, with my sinuses completely blocked by polyps that need to be corrected and he said the drainage holes for the sinuses are too small too.
He flatly said if we go ahead there has to be an ear, nose and throat specialist to do the septum repair, remove the polyps and widen the sinuses holes, he will remove the slight hump and refine the tip.
I didn't even know I had a hump and thought the tip was droopy, but it turns out the tip is correct. I appreciate however that he was completely honest
As soon as you said "bad smell" my brain screamed INFECTION
same. I literally said it out loud. I knew immediately.
OMG SAME
Same. My stomach dropped
IM SO ANXIOUS READING THIS
me too!!!! Then I had this horrible picture of like necrosis inside her nose and it like caving in from dead/infected tissue. So I'm so glad she got help! (not that the necrosis thing would actually have happened, it's just the dark place my mind went)
Yes please give us a part 3 of this! Keep giving us updates until this whole nose-journey is over. Not so much because of us, but because of all those who research considering doing a nose job. You are very skilled with filming and you are really good at telling your story and give information without rambling too much. You are very good at this and I can easily see someone doing research stumbling on your first video and then just keeping on watching all the parts. You are so brave to do this, thank you!
Can we have an update video please?? I really hope your nose is doing better and can breath properly. They should give you a free revision!! Lots of love ❤️
Best rynoplasty blog on CZcams. Thanks
Alex: Every day that I struggle to breathe, I'm filled with regret and anxiety
The music: 🍵🙆♀️⭐🏖️🌸
Seriously tho, get better soon
Yes please keep filming this process. Your commentary is quality, trustworthy, and honest.
Very well-said.
Yes please!
You’re so lucky that staph infection didn’t kill you. Those can be so serious. Especially that close to the brain. How he didn’t think that was emergent ASTOUNDS ME. So glad you’re doing better health wise.
Poor girl. I'm sorry to hear that you had this complicated course.
I also appreciate your warning towards other young people. Anybody considering a rhinoplasty should know, that this is a procedure which has - most of the time - no medical indication at all.
Some influencers make people think that this is easy with no risk.
Post op for invasive surgery especially near the brain should have been classed as essential. Sure, no new clients, and cancel scheduled surgeries, but post op care is post op care. Someone really dropped the ball during policy making.
Stephanie P. This is so unusual my mum had surgery we live in Melbourne and she's getting all her post op care
im inclined to think it's not even a gov't policy thing - i think it may have been this dr. making the (wrong) call about this not being essential. i've seen multiple people from australia commenting saying their post op appts for plastic surgery went on as usual.
Agreed. They don't call that region of the face the Triangle of Death for nothing.
@@isamidnight exactly! US docs wanted to work on my sinus and I flatly refused. One wrong move and I'm dead. Not happening. Hoping only the best for her recovery to be good.
100% agreed. The fact that she had an infection that went undiagnosed for months due to the lock down sounds like a case for a lawsuit against the govt.
You should not feel bad about being worried about your nose, it bothers me that you keep saying that. Your feelings are valid (yes there is a lot going on in the world but that doesint mean you have to invalidate this experience). By invalidating your experience you can cause yourself to look over things like the infection. Love ya, sending all the good vibes your way!!!!
You are such an amazing communicator and I saw a lot of myself in you. Mine was over 35 years ago and have always regretted having rhinoplasty for the same reasons as you have expressed. I wished that the detail in your message was available to me back then, but there really was nothing. I like you liked my face from the front and not from the side and so forth and then post-op, felt I had lost my authenticity. Even over 30 years later is still find myself regretting it and then think, blah to that because we are more than just our noses, though it doesn't seem so when zeroing in. You had me in stitches and in tears and want to thank you for your warm, funny, intelligent, honest and complex message. I'm not going to tell you not to get distressed over small things, because that won't stop you from going there anyways. I will say that you are such a beauty and it would be a real shame if you got caught up in sadness and missed out on realising that you are gorgeous enough. I hope your revision went well and that that's the end of it all. Also, it's everyone's journey with those that you love you so all the best to you and yours.
I’m really glad you made this video about this because a lot of your subscribers are now aware of all the risks and complications that are very likely and possible that can happen with surgery. ❤️
Here’s a secret from a healthcare professional: surgeons often, often brush you off. They make you feel like you’re crazy even when you bring up legitimate concerns. God forbid they were in your shoes
TRUTH. I work with Surgeons in their clinic and I see this first hand all the time.
It's called gaslighting.
Surgeons don’t handle being wrong well. Maybe you need to be pathologically over confident to literally stick a knife in someone’s brain. Maybe it’s the praise that’s been showered over them for much of their academic lives, or maybe it’s the weird worship non medical people have for them.
Drs. In general. Never let a Dr. brush you off if you have a concern.
Unfortunately very true. My husband had spinal surgery at 16. Months after surgery, he continued to be in pain. For years surgeons told him just keep waiting, keep doing PT, it’ll stop. He’s now 24 and still in constant pain (admittedly, it’s improved from prior to the surgery, but he hasn’t known a pain-free day since he was 10 and that always makes me sad.) He was supposed to have a corrective surgery this summer but we decided to delay due to COVID.
“2020 did not go as planned.” That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it 😂
And that is why EVERY medical situation should be essential. Whether it ends up being something serious or not. It's much better to be safe than sorry.
I really hope that the breathing issue was fixed and you're happy with your nose now. would be great to get a part 3
This broke my heart to see you crying like that. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. I always wanted my crooked septum corrected but never worked up the courage to act on it. It’s something only I care about it but I always just wished it to be fixed. I honestly never thought about how my body would handle the healing process and how it could inadvertently make it worse! Thank you for sharing your story.
Alex, 4 points I would like to make: (1) I would definitely like to follow your journey, please keep sharing. (2) Consider getting a second opinion before going through with the revision surgery - remember that was the advice you yourself gave in the part 1 video. (3) Consider who should do the surgery - the same surgeon does not necessarily have to do the revision (4) Also consider when you should do the revision - it may be worthwhile to wait until the 12 month mark. I feel very sorry for you that you are in this position
Okay...you are a 1st Class Darling!!! I am 67 and just became hooked on your channel (and always giving you a thumbs up) for many reasons. You are very detailed oriented and cover all aspects; stitches, swelling, smelliness, sadness, and suffocating feelings. Poor girl. You have been through the ringer. Forget the world...your world right now is that appendage in the middle of your face that is not working. Please keep filming, I need this story to have a happy ending. Best of luck to you!!! That Archie loves his muma. Sending hugs and kisses from Southern California.
I appreciate you sharing this traumatic story. It's so sad when we trust (and pay) someone to change our appearance and we end up not liking it or having health issues. I hope you know you didn't do anything wrong and this isn't your fault. IMO your new nose is super cute; and it helps to remember that nobody will ever nit-pick it as closely as you will and notice any of the things you don't like about it; we kind of look at each other in a passing-by sense. I had a couple cosmetic surgeries that didn't turn out as good as I had hoped and it helps me to remember that I am probably the only person looking at the scars, and esp the only one seeing them with anger and humiliation. And I still think your nose is very petite and nice. But it's too bad you're having the breathing problems. I have breathing problems, too, and my nostril is a little crooked on that side probably because of what is going on internally, but I am terrified to change it even more. And nobody even notices the difference anyway. Hope you're inhaling better now. Would love a follow up video just to see how you're doing mentally and physically.
I had to go to the end. I was afraid you weren’t going to have a nose at the end! Spoiler alert Alex still has a nose! My God, yes please film the next operation. When you didn’t post for so long I feared much worse had happened.
Me too omg I was so scared
it actually looks good imo but it sucks that she cant breathe u.u
Thank u for the spoiler, I was so stressed 😣
Yes! I was so worried when I hadn't seen recent updates on here or Insta for so long!
Girl, you can’t just come this far & leave us hanging, we require a post October update. I have a couple of friends who have had sinus related surgeries, and the difference in their breathing was so much better like within the week. Hopefully the revision fixes everything for you, stay focused and this too shall pass!
I'm so, so so sorry you had to go through all of this... If it has any impact at all, I send you my warmest and most sincere wishes for things to go better. ♥️
It’s the risk you take.
I am so sorry you went through such a tough time, and I cannot believe you didn't present more symptoms with the staph infection! Most people would begin vomiting or running fevers with it, but you're like a trooper for having to deal with this at all.
I feel like your surgeon was neglectful with you, COVID-19 or not, you could have easily gotten incredibly ill from an unchecked infection.
it's going to be ok. get your revision. (yes, film it) everything is going to turn out beautifully. *we are all here virtually holding your hand.* 💖🌼💖🌼💖
"It smelled like bacteria and a liquid started leaking"
THATS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN OMG
ALEX YOU ARE SO STRONG
I literally started shaking three quarters of the way into the first video. I love gross things, horror movies and the like.. but I almost couldn't make it to the end of your story.. I'm so glad that you have such an amazing support group in your life. I can't imagine going through what you did. You were incredibly brave.
I wish you would ignore nasty comments from social media. It's a jungle out there, and it really seems like people are mean to others just to get a rise, or are simply bored. If you see a negative comment, ignore it. Everyone who puts themselves out there (especially here on youtube) has to deal with these type of asshats. CZcams seems to be a breeding ground for it, then acts like flypaper.
Your nose LOOKED fine before. Having breathing issues is another story. All that said, I know I'd love to see this story through. Please film your 2nd (and hopefully final) surgery process. I understand that your current doc is going to do the work your insurance won't cover for free. But if possible, look for a different doc anyway. But if you stick with the same doc, film EVERYTHING, even when he tells you not to. He doesn't have to know.
I truly hope things work out, and please keep us posted. You're beautiful, no matter what you decide to do.
Omg Alex I love you and miss you, I can’t believe this you were so sweet and just amazing, life is so unfair 💔💔💔
I’m getting such anxiety from the spoilers as I go along. I’m hoping for the best for you because I think you’re such a lovely person but THOSE SPOILERS.
Killllling me haha
Shows how much people think having a nose job is simple and easy and within a few months you have this fantastic new nose.
I do hope the correction helps you breath better, but please remember, your beautiful. You always were.
The way your husband looks at you, with such devotion and love in his eyes..... I know that may not help when it comes to self image but try to remember that x
What a beautiful comment. God bless Xo ❤
Mine was basically smooth surgery (well, considering that the doctor warned me about having a thick skin on the tip of my nose, and that he couldn't be sure of the result) and recovery, but it's wrong to expect for it to be the same for everyone.
To me having a nose job is just about the scariest operation .. I could never .. I feel for her ...
Is there going to be a part 3 of the surgery to correct the breathing that was set for October?
YES! WE MUST KNOOOOW!!!
@@ladybaabaa3294 yes what happened
I really wish you did an update to this situation.
I literally got tears in my eyes when she said she had to get a second operation! Just watching everything she's been through just to have to have another operation is heartbreaking to me! Positive vibes and lots of love Alex!
I would not let that doctor anywhere near my nose until I got a second/third/fourth opinion.
You followed your instinct that the doctor wasn't taking you seriously, and even the online advice from a couple of pics was that the original surgery was botched.
I would seriously consider going to see other doctors for advice before going under the knife again.
Be safe Alex and keep smiling ❤
Hope you put out a part 3, I think this has been super informative and interesting and I hope the revision worked out for you
