‘Asked for this?': Influencer reveals truth behind new appearance
A popular Australian influencer has shared her honest thoughts about the controversial nose job she underwent earlier this year. Indy Clinton posted a candid TikTok last Friday, revealing that she isn't happy with the results of her cosmetic surgery and 'didn't ask for' the nose she currently has. 'I'm gonna talk about my nose hella quick, cause I've been wanting to get this off my chest,' the 28-year-old began the clip to her 2.1 million followers. 'Everybody else seems to be talking about it but me, so where do we begin?' 'Do you think I asked for this? Genuinely?' she continued, staring down the camera. 'Let me just make it clear for you guys. I asked for minor, minor tweaks. I am Italian. I had a Mediterranean nose, I love that.' She then explained exactly why she wanted to get the surgery in the first place, despite loving her original nose. 'I got hit by a surfboard. I wanted a few things fixed, but we agreed on minor tweaks when I went under,' the star, who was crowned TikTok creator of the year in 2023, said. 'That was what was agreed on. Does it look like I've had minor tweaks? There's your answer, ladies and gentlemen. 'I didn't, in fact, choose this. I didn't, in fact, lie to you. It's just the way the cookie crumbles, I guess. Anywhoo. Onwards and upwards, as they say. Onwards and upwards.' In the caption, she added that she doesn't 'regret' the decision, even though she wishes she 'had her old nose back'. 'I'm thinking of it like abstract art, lol,' she joked. In the comments, many praised the popular influencer for being so honest about the results of her surgery. 'I actually love that you've spoken about it, I think people almost wanted to hear that you're not pleased with it (only because you're so open about everything else) and I'm sorry it didn't go how you expected,' one fan wrote. 'You are still just gorgeous. Before, after, always. Sorry you aren't happy,' another replied. 'Just sayin … you're absolutely beautiful,' someone else agreed. 'I'm glad you addressed it Queen,' shared another. The influencer also 'liked' a comment that claimed that '80 per cent of people hate their rhinoplasties' and get 'revisions' but hasn't specified whether or not she is going to get one. Other followers were outraged on her behalf. 'This is awful to deal with,' one said, while another wrote, 'I'm so angry for you'. Then, there were fans who said they could relate to her disappointment. 'I hated my 1st nose job too. It didn't turn out how it should. I was told to trust the process. After a year I still hated it. Went in for a 2nd and it's perfect,' someone shared. 'Girl I am so sorry. I also had rhinoplasty and did not get what I asked for. It affected me deeply and still does 3 years later,' another wrote. It comes after months of relentless scrutiny and online trolling following her new nose reveal. She's been fielding comments from people such as 'Aww, this makes me sad, she was so beautiful,' and 'I loved your nose way better before!' 'It's one of the worst jobs I've ever seen,' someone else claimed. 'She's ruined herself,' another comment read. The only bullying was so intense that Clinton was forced to hide her nose behind a mask at the beginning of the healing process. Last month, she reached boiling point and decided to hire a private investigator to help expose the identities of the people who continuously 'online troll, defame and cyberbully' her. The three-month investigation resulted in a 64-page document, and Clinton said that she was ready to hold her online bullies accountable. 'These faceless strangers are hiding behind anonymous accounts, destroying mental health and costing lives,' she said at the time. 'I will create change and I will make an impact'. She has since started the Instagram account @urnotanon with a bio that reads: 'Cyberbullying isn't hidden, and neither are you,' and a message to its 68k followers to 'Watch this space'.

Influencer Indy Clinton admits she doesn't like the results of her new nose job - after cruel trolls compared her to Michael Jackson
Indy Clinton has confessed that her controversial nose job hasn't turned out how she hoped. The 28-year-old underwent rhinoplasty in March, and now that she has healed up, she admitted in a TikTok video on Friday that she doesn't love her new look. 'I've been wanting to get this off my chest. Everyone else is talking about it but me,' the influencer began her clip, in which she updated her fans on the surgery. 'I'm Italian, I had a Mediterranean nose and I loved that,' she said, adding that she had hoped to tweak her nose after she was injured in a surfing accident in 2020. 'I didn't choose this. I didn't lie to you. It's just the way the cookie crumbles,' she added, confessing that she wasn't pleased with the result. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Onwards and upwards, as they say,' Indy said. Since undergoing the procedure, Indy has been inundated with cruel comments. After revealing her updated nose, some compared her to Michael Jackson and said she has 'ruined her face'. Indy posted to TikTok to defend the results of her surgery early on in her healing process, saying it had only been a few weeks since she went under the knife. 'I know I look crazy guys, it's only been two weeks,' she told her fans in a video, which showed the mother-of-three sporting a glowing makeup look. 'I'm still numb but everything will drop slowly,' she said, before adding: 'Well, I hope it drops because I have a photo shoot in April.' 'But I think it takes four to six weeks for your tip to drop and... the swelling to go down and then another year for all the rest of the swelling to slowly go down,' she added. 'That's what I'm telling myself anyway. If that's not the case, don't wanna hear it. 'I have a lot of swelling obviously on the outside, but also internally which is making my nostrils look uneven so that's fantastic.' 'It's going down every day,' she said of the swelling, adding it was 'so much worse' and she's been sleeping with little splints in her nostrils to help the healing. Speaking of her time in the cast, she said it was the 'longest twelve days of her life.' In contrast to her comments last week, Indy said she was happy with her 'super natural' results at the time. Indy has been undergoing a complete transformation in recent years, changing her locks from blonde to brunette and receiving several cosmetic procedures, including lip fillers and skin treatments. The influencer showed off her new dental and veneer work in October when she attended a beauty brand launch, and confirmed her boob job just months earlier.

I spent $10K on a nose job...and woke up with part of my face missing
EXCLUSIVE I spent $10K on a nose woke up with part of my face missing READ MORE: Woman reveals horrifying nose after plastic surgery goes wrong A mother-of-four has been left looking 'smashed' and struggling to breathe after a $10,000 nose job. Ashley Caselli, now 37, underwent a revision rhinoplasty, or nose job, with Dr. Lindsay Sturm in January 2021, in the hopes of resolving her breathing issues. But when she woke up from the around three-hour procedure, the Iowa native says she was immediately plunged into a world of constant worries about her new nose. 'It just looked smashed,' she told 'It doesn't look finished. It looks like I am missing a piece of my face; My nose doesn't even have a tip anymore.' Once a social mom who loved taking pictures of herself with her children, Caselli is now consumed by fear whenever she leaves the house and is always photoshopping herself in family pictures. She also said her breathing is now 'much worse', and that she wakes up several times every night with a dry mouth and has to pull up her nose when she runs to get air in. She said: 'It's just no way to live. It really hurts your self-confidence; it hurts your way of thinking whenever you do things and want to take pictures with your family. 'Every day, I look in the mirror and I am saddened by it, and when people look at me, I constantly wonder, are they looking at my nose?' Ashley Caselli pictured before the procedure And afterward. She said her nose now appears 'smashed' Caselli is one of at least eight patients to have come forward in recent months alleging harm by Sturm, who ran a clinic in Iowa until February this year. The cosmetic surgeon and otolaryngologist, a surgeon specializing in the ears, nose, throat, neck and head, has also been accused of causing the death of her patient Angela Kettwig in a lawsuit, although she denies the allegation. The lawsuit is pending. Others to come forward include Christine Heintz, who paid Sturm $20,000 for a 'mommy makeover' in November 2021, which included a breast reduction and lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction. Just after the surgery, she said that a 'giant hole' opened in Heintz's right breast going back to her ribcage, with doctors saying most of the breast had died and could not be saved. She underwent further reconstructive surgery in January 2023 which resulted in her losing most of her breasts. In another case, patient AJ Gomez-Han visited Sturm in 2024 for skin removal surgery to his thighs and arms. Afterward, he developed a bacterial infection that evolved into an open bleeding sore and required six weeks in the hospital to fix. Sturm has not responded to previous claims against her and did not respond to request for comment on Caselli's case. Caselli has not filed a lawsuit, however, because the procedure happened too long ago for her to file a claim under Iowa law. After her clinic, Sturm Cosmetic Surgery, abruptly closed on February 9, it told patients in an email that 'due to personal, emergent medical concerns, Dr Sturm is unavailable to provide ongoing care.' Caselli is pictured above in the profile view before the procedure And again after the procedure Her nose shown above from the underside before the procedure And again after the procedure The Iowa Board of Medicine charged her with professional incompetence, including failure of a physician to exercise a degree of care ordinarily exercised by the average physician, in May 2025. Sturm opted not to contest the charges and has voluntarily surrendered her license, without admitting wrongdoing. She also filed for bankruptcy in June, according to local media reports. In Caselli's case, the mother and property manager went for her first nose job with a different surgeon in 2018 to open up her airways and resolve a long-term breathing issue. The initial procedure 'wasn't terrible,' she said, but she was still having trouble breathing out of one side of her nose and felt one side also appeared 'cuppier' than the other. This led her to contact Sturm, who said she would be able to help Caselli breathe better and have a more appealing nose. In a pre-op appointment, Caselli said Sturm told her that the previous surgeon had 'removed all the cartilage' from her nose, leaving it without proper support. (It is extremely unusual for surgeons to remove all the cartilage from a patient's nose). Sturm suggested extracting some cartilage from the top of Caselli's right ear and implanting it into her nose to help with the breathing issue, Caselli said. Caselli agreed, saying she was won over by the chance to be operated on by a female surgeon and Sturm's apparent personable and kind nature. Lindsay Sturm, who carried out the procedure, is pictured above. According to Caselli, the cosmetic surgeon said that in Caselli's previous nose job all the cartilage was removed from her nose Just before the surgery in 2021, the pair prayed together for a successful procedure and a good outcome. Caselli said after the surgery she had to wear a nose bandage and splint, a plastic device placed outside the nose after surgery to support its new shape, for about two weeks but, even with the swelling from surgery, became concerned about her nose every time she removed a bandage to wash it. 'I actually voiced my concerns because I did see some issues,' she said. 'One side of my nose that I wanted changed originally, that was still the same, and the side that was a little swollen didn't look right. 'I was also concerned because in the profile view of the side of my face, it looked different, the tip of my nose was missing, well, it didn't have a tip.' She said Sturm initially told her that the appearance could be linked to the swelling from surgery but then retorted that she shouldn't ask for a perfect nose because no one's nose is perfect. 'I was shocked by that,' Caselli said. 'I told her that I am not trying to achieve the perfect nose, I just want a functioning nose that looks nice and normal, but this doesn't. It looks normal it looks very messed up. 'She tried to make me feel bad for that.' Caselli also said that at one point a hole opened up in the middle of her nose after a suture came loose following the surgery. During the procedure, Sturm was also meant to perform liposuction on the bottom of Caselli's chin, but Caselli said that this wasn't done properly, with the area she wanted removed 'still there' when she woke up from surgery. Caselli is a social mom who loves to go out with friends But her nose is a constant worry Sturm offered to do a fat transfer to Caselli's nose after the surgery, Caselli said, but she refused, and says she's now seeking help from a new surgeon. Caselli also claimed that her breathing is now 'much worse' than before, with now having to breathe through her mouth most of the time. She said she holds up the end of her nose sometimes when she runs to get air in and is also waking up throughout the night, suffering from a dry mouth and breathing issues. 'I hope revealing this helps people,' she said. 'The irony here is that she was an expert and she still messed up my nose. Everyone should know the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon. 'I am lucky, but unlucky, people go through worse things, terrible things, but they can cover their bodies. For me, I can't cover my face.'

Woman reveals horrifying botched nose after popular plastic surgery treatment goes wrong
A woman has revealed the results of a horrifying botched nose job after her procedure went terribly wrong. On Reddit, the young woman took to the popular 'plastic surgery' thread to share a picture of her misshaped facial feature. The snapshot caught something snaking down the bridge of her nose in a seemingly wiggly lump as the patient struck a worried expression. 'Just wanted everyone to know this can happen and maybe PDO [Polydioxanone] threads in the nose is a no-no,' she wrote under her jarring image. Polydioxanone threads have become a popular option for people wanting a straighter and more defined nose, per Moksha Aesthetics. The threads are inserted through the tip of the nose and provide a lift at the bridge. They are supposed to dissolve within six to 12 months and stimulate the production of collagen to produce a more defined nose bridge. If the threads aren't properly secured, migration and asymmetry is possible - and the young woman's nose is an example. On Reddit, the young woman took to the popular 'plastic surgery' thread to share a picture of her misshaped facial feature People in the comments were shocked by the surgery and questioned what had happened. Someone wrote: 'Girl, what the...?? What happened?? How does this happen?? What was this even for?' 'I was told it would just give me the appearance of a nose job without an invasive surgery… haha worst decision ever,' she responded. She went on to explain that, ironically, she now 'might need surgery to get them out.' Another person wrote about their close encounter with PDO threads. 'Omg, you need to give us an update when you figure out how to get it fixed... 'I almost got this done, and the nurse injector told me not to because this could happen. So glad I didn't. I hope surgery isn't necessary for you!!' they shared. Someone penned: 'Doing the Lord's work, showing how bad threads can be! Sorry this happened to you, and I hope they can get it out... 'That is insane, and I'm so fearful that I'll have scar tissue in my nose now,' a person said. 'I'm so sorry. I hope you get this fixed soon, and THANK YOU for sharing and spreading awareness,' a comment read. The woman later revealed in a comment that she got the procedure done in Bali, Indonesia. 'Terrible mistake on my end,' she wrote.
