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.

The Istanbul Nose: A Closer Look at Rhinoplasty with Dr. Şaban Çelebi
06/21/2025, Istanbul ,Istanbul // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // For anyone who has spent years feeling self-conscious about their nose, the thought of changing it is a powerful one. It's that feature right in the middle of your face, the one you can't hide. You've probably spent countless hours analyzing it in the mirror, wondering what it would be like to just… feel good about your profile. This journey of consideration often leads to a deep dive down the Instagram and Google rabbit hole, and that rabbit hole almost inevitably leads to one destination: Istanbul. The city is a global hub for aesthetic surgery, especially rhinoplasty. But with so many surgeons to choose from, the process can feel overwhelming. As you sift through countless before-and-after pictures, certain names start to stand out. One of those names that consistently pops up, often surrounded by praise for natural-looking results, is Dr. Şaban Çelebi. So, let's take a closer, honest look at what makes him a sought-after surgeon in such a competitive field. The Man Behind the Profile First things first, who is Dr. Şaban Çelebi? He's an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist. This is a pretty significant detail. It means his entire medical background is rooted in the complex anatomy of the nose. He understands not just how a nose should look, but how it needs to function. The goal isn't just a pretty nose, it's a nose that you can breathe through properly, and his specialization speaks volumes about that dual focus. Dr. Çelebi operates of his own clinic, a well-known and modern facility in Istanbul. This isn't a one-man shop but a professional medical institution, which adds a layer of comfort and security for international patients. His reputation is built on a foundation of experience and a clear, consistent aesthetic. The 'Signature' Nose: Artistry Meets Anatomy If you spend some time looking at Dr. Çelebi's results, a certain style begins to emerge. The noses he creates are elegant, refined, and beautifully sculpted. However, they don't look 'done.' He seems to have a real talent for creating a nose that harmonizes perfectly with the rest of the patient's facial features. It's not about stamping the same 'Barbie nose' on every face, but about crafting a unique result that looks like it's the nose the person should have been born with. He is known for creating delicate slopes and refined tips, but always with an eye toward maintaining the person's ethnic identity and overall facial balance. This artistic approach, combined with his deep medical understanding of nasal structure, is likely the key to his success. The Patient Journey: From Apprehension to the Big Reveal So, what does the journey actually look like for someone travelling to see him? It usually starts with an online consultation. You send your photos, explain your concerns and what you're hoping to achieve. This initial step helps manage expectations and gives you a feel for their communication style. If you decide to move forward, you'll typically book a package deal. This is one of the biggest draws of getting surgery in Turkey. These packages often include your stay in a comfortable hotel, a private driver for all your appointments, and, of course, the surgery itself. It takes a huge amount of stress out of the equation. The most crucial part of the process happens when you arrive: the in-person consultation with Dr. Çelebi. This is where you have a real conversation, where he listens to your goals and provides his professional opinion on what's realistically achievable. This is the moment to build trust and ensure you're both on the same page. The surgery itself takes a few hours under general anesthesia. The recovery period is key, and the clinic provides detailed instructions for post-operative care. The 'big reveal,' when the cast finally comes off, is an emotional moment for every rhinoplasty Turkey patient, marking the first glimpse of a new chapter. What Are People Actually Saying? A surgeon's website will always show their best work. That's why independent review sites, forums, and patient testimonials are so important. When you look up Dr. Çelebi, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Patients frequently praise his calm and reassuring bedside manner, his ability to truly listen, and his meticulous attention to detail. Many highlight how the result exceeded their expectations, finally giving them the confidence they'd been chasing for years. Of course, rhinoplasty Istanbul is a major, life-altering surgery. No surgeon is the right fit for everyone. It's essential to do your own research, to look at hundreds of photos (both good and bad healing examples), and to make sure the surgeon's aesthetic aligns with your own. The Financial Side Let's talk about the cost. Rhinoplasty with a top surgeon in the US or UK can easily run into five figures. In Turkey, the price is significantly more accessible. While costs vary, you are generally looking at a fraction of that price for a full package with Dr. Çelebi. It's not 'cheap,' because quality medical care is never cheap. But it is an incredible value when you consider the level of surgical talent and the all-inclusive service you receive. It's an investment in yourself and your confidence. Final Thoughts Choosing a surgeon for a rhinoplasty is one of the most important decisions you can make. It's a choice based on trust, artistry, and a shared vision. Dr. Şaban Çelebi has firmly established himself as a master of his craft, renowned for creating natural, functional, and life-changing results. He represents the best of what Istanbul's medical tourism scene has to offer: world-class skill at an attainable price.

Married At First Sight's Sacha shares results of nose job surgery after bitter split from groom
MARRIED At First Sight bride Sacha Jones has revealed the results of her recent nose job. Back in May, the E4 show alum, 29, shared a series of pictures from her hospital bed after having undergone the procedure. 7 7 7 7 Sacha showcased a snap in a blue hospital gown and white medical stockings to her Instagram Stories. She was seen stretched out on the bed and the Married At First Sight 2024 bride added a poll box to ask her followers: "What do you think I'm having done? (If you don't know already.)" Sacha, whose marriage to dad-of-one Ross on the matchmaking show ended in a bitter split, then showed an image of her face and nose taped up after the surgery - yet her full face transformation has now come to light. The Brummie beauty has now taken to Instagram after her bandages were removed - and her new nose had healed. She styled her blonde locks poker straight and wore a long-sleeve white top as she teased her fans about the "grand reveal." In the new clip, she gushed: "Arghhh, here she is," before showing off her new side-profile look. Sacha added: "Obviously she's still very swollen so the nose will go a lot smaller, I'm aware I look like Avatar from the front. "I can really tell what it's going to look like when the swelling has gone down. "It will take about six to 12 months to get the full final result. "My surgeon has done an incredible job." MAFS star shocks fans as she reveals she's had secret nose job after bitter split on show Sacha, who turned to Christianity following her failed MAFS experience, then added: "And I also want to take this time to address something. "That's a comment I keep getting in regard to my surgery and my faith. "So the Christian police have been out and commenting on my surgery videos about should a woman of God get surgery. "The way I always describe God and a relationship with God the father is literally like the relationship with your earthly father. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." "When I told my dad about having my nose done for the first time I even knew what he was going to say but I said 'don't try and stop me because I'm going to do it anyway.' "He would rather me not do it - he says 'you're beautiful the way you are, I gave you that nose.'" She added: "Did it stop my dad being there for me when I was in Turkey, answering the phone at 4am to check I was OK, praying for my healing and was with me every step of the way. "Did that stop him from doing that? Did that make him disown me? No. "I believe that's the same with my heavenly father as well, did he turn his back on me? Did he disown me? Did it mean he wasn't with me every step of the way? "Would he rather me didn't do it because he thinks I'm perfect the way I am? Maybe." Sacha then told how she didn't see the difference between having hair coloured or teeth whitened to her nose job in terms of altering appearance and potential vanity. She said she and Jesus were still "working on some things" after only finding faith a year ago. CLAP BACK Yet despite her lengthy video argument, some of her followers remained unconvinced. One wrote: "This isn't me being critical, honestly. But you're a devout Christian and really try to follow the scriptures in your life, right? So I'm just wondering — isn't this kind of thing completely against what the Bible teaches us?" Another agreed and put: "Nothing can make God disown you, however that does not mean that you should go out of your way to do something you know he would prefer you not to. Insecurity comes from within rather than injections or surgical changes. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness, truthfully, and it'll be like it never happened. God bless you." Yet others were quick to back the TV star and one wrote: "Omg you look beautiful babe! Do what makes YOU happy." Another added: "Whatever your faith is, I think always do what's right for u & nobody else's opinion counts. You were lovely before & still lovely now! Be happy always." MAFS JOURNEY Sacha married Ross at the start of MAFS' 2024 series when sparks flew and everything seemed perfect between the pair. The couple then went from strength to strength in their marriage, with them dubbed as one of the strongest pairs early on in the programme. Yet cracks began to show and Ross' temper began to flare as they hit a series of bumps in the road. Sacha was keen to move to Manchester to be with Ross, with her even open to leaving her life in Birmingham behind. Her eventual split with Manchester-based Ross then came two weeks after filming wrapped. back in January. Yet all was not as it seemed, with the aesthetics practitioner stating she had: "Married our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Flashing a silver band, she added: "Now guys this is a purity ring and I just wanted to explain that to you. "A purity ring just represents your commitment to God and vowing to stay abstinent until marriage. "They're on your hand as a reminder of your vow to God if you ever get tempted." On MAFS UK, Sacha became famous for her abstinence, as she told Ross she wasn't planning to be intimate with him until their relationship was well established. 7 7 7
