Why I did nose surgery, Comedian zicsaloma details his rhinoplasty journey
Nigerian comedian and skit maker Isaac Aloma, better known as Zicsaloma, has opened up about the reasons behind his recent decision to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, offering his fans insight into the process and his recovery journey.
He also said , “It was not paid, it was a collaboration between me and the hospital. The only thing I did was book my flight to Turkey." - Comedian Zicsaloma shares his three-week post-surgery journey and discloses the cost of the procedure.
In a video shared on YouTube on Friday, the content creator opened up about his insecurities and the judgments he’s faced throughout his life due to the appearance of his nose.
Personal Insecurities Behind the Decision
Zicasloma said he has always felt self-conscious about his facial features, and explained that his decision was driven by a long-standing desire to alter what had bothered him since childhood.
He said, “I’ve always had a very flat nose and right from childhood I’ve felt that if I could do my nose, I would reconstruct it. I’ve been constantly ridiculed because of my nose. My siblings would always insult me saying, ‘Your nose is too ugly. Your nose is too big.’ I carried my papa’s nose in excess.”
He noted that despite his nose becoming smaller as he grew older, he had always taken after his father’s appearance, unlike his siblings who inherited their mother’s more pointed nose.
“Some of you think rhinoplasty is a death sentence. People do rhinoplasty for different reasons. For some people, they don’t like the shape of their noses, like in my case. Some have breathing issues, but in my case, it’s for aesthetics,” Zicsaloma clarified.
The comedian also tackled the stigma surrounding cosmetic surgery, particularly in Nigeria, saying that many people remain judgmental about altering one’s appearance.
He also pointed out the contradiction of societal standards by comparing the criticism he faced with the common use of makeup and braces.
Zicsaloma continued, “I have always thought of doing a nose job to make it smaller. You can call it inferiority complex but I believe that we all have insecurities. For some, they always wear caps because they don’t have a hairline.
“Some ladies can’t wear some kind of dress because they have big stomachs or “K-leg”. You wear some kind of dress because of your insecurities. For some people, it’s because they are short. If we have a choice, that insecurity will be corrected.
