He said: “I always had a very flat nose and from childhood I felt that if I could make my nose, I would be rebuilt. I have constantly ridiculed because of my nose. My siblings will always offend me by saying:” Your nose is Very bad. ”

“Some of you believe that rhinoplasty is a death penalty. People do rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons. For some people, they do not like the shape of their noses, as in my case. Some have breathing problems, but in my case it is for Aesthetics, “Zicsaloma said.

“Some ladies cannot wear some kind of dress because they have big stomachs or” K-Leg “. Wear some kind of dress because of your insecure. For some people, it is because they are short. If we have a choice, this insecurity will be corrected.

Collaboration with the hospital for rhinoplasty
Zicaloma further that he does not personally pay for the rhinoplasty process, describing the regulation as a cooperation between him and the hospital.
“We didn’t pay for the process. I won’t call it free, but it was a collaboration between me and the hospital.

“I wrote the second day after surgery. I couldn’t laugh so much because of the discomfort. Some comments were tough and rude, but it didn’t get to me as people think. I want death.
“Every time I wanted to laugh, I remember my doctor told me not to laugh. I don’t want to go back to review. My eyes were swollen. I couldn’t talk or eat well. Everything felt tight and rigid but gradually, I felt freely. ”
Facing critics focused on other aspects of his appearance, such as his forehead or mouth, Zicaaloma stated steadily: “I have no problem with my forehead, I have no problems with my mouth. If you feel it is too big , Na Sabi. It was my nose.
There were also concerns about the future appearance of his children, responding to those who questioned how his decision could affect them. “What about my children? They may like their nose. It’s not me. Let them come with the old na nose. What if it’s okay with that? Do you even know if I want organic children or if I want to adopt them? Leave my children out of it. ”
Completing his video, Zicsaloma encouraged others to examine plastic surgery to prioritize their happiness.
He said: “My advice for anyone who wants general plastic surgery is to do what makes you happy. Everyone wants to enhance their appearance.
“Someone judge me a video, saying,” How can a man do that? “But he was wearing nose rings and earrings. We all have or do something that can be judged. So whatever makes you happy. I love my result so far.”
