Zicsaloma: Why I underwent nose surgery

Zicsaloma, the Nigerian skit maker, has revealed why he underwent a rhinoplasty.

In January, the content creator underwent the surgery to reconstruct his nose in Turkey.

Since then, he has been sharing videos showcasing his post-operation journey. He has also attracted social media criticism for going under the knife.

In a post via YouTube, Zicsalom revealed that he underwent the rhinoplasty for “aesthetic” and to fulfill his childhood desire to reshape his nose.

The content creator said his nose became a source of insecurity due to constant ridicule about its size.

“People do rhinoplasty for different reasons. Some people do it because they do not like the shape of their nose like me, while some because they have breathing problems,” he said.

“In my case, it is aesthetic. I have always had a flat nose and right from my childhood, I have always wanted to reconstruct it.

“I have been constantly ridiculed because of my nose with people saying my nose is too ugly, too big. When I was younger, my nose was even bigger.

“I’m the only one with big nose among my siblings because I took after my daddy. My siblings have pointed nose while I took my father type of nose in excess.

“You can call it inferiority complex, if you want but I believe everyone has insecurities and if there is a means to correct it we will.

“So if you don’t have the mind or money to fix the insecurities, do not another person. Almost everyone has insecurities, so that’s my reason.”

The skit maker further took a swipe at his critics, saying they have no right to judge him because he is “morally better”.

“I have never smoked, drank or womanise in my life. So you can see I’m better than most of you who judge me. I’m not hyping myself but morally I’m better than most people,” he added.
