Indy Clinton breaks down as she discusses gruelling surgery to revise her botched nose job and reveals she’s been left unable to breath: ‘I feel sick to my core about it’

Indy Clinton has shared that she’s having more surgery to fix a previous nose job, and she became emotional while discussing it.

The social media personality revealed she’s been experiencing breathing problems and isn’t pleased with the results of her nose job, which she had earlier this year.

She explained in a tearful TikTok video that now that she’s addressing a long-held issue, she feels more comfortable talking about it.

Honestly, it’s really shaken me up. I think it’s because my first surgery – a rhinoplasty I had back in March – didn’t go as planned, and it’s brought back a lot of difficult feelings. It’s been tough dealing with the results and the memories it’s triggered.

I’ve lost the ability to breathe through my nose and need surgery to fix it, which is really frightening.

I’m facing a four-hour surgery to rebuild my nose using cartilage from my rib. I’m really hoping everything goes well and that I’m well cared for throughout the procedure.

Indy has scheduled a highly-rated Sydney surgeon to perform her nose surgery and any necessary corrections.

The influencer has faced a lot of online harassment since she shared photos of her new nose earlier this year.

The 28-year-old TikTok star told the Daily Mail that harsh comments online were difficult to deal with while she was raising her child and building her successful social media presence.

Indy faced harsh criticism online after revealing her March nose job, with some people comparing her appearance to Michael Jackson and saying the surgery had negatively impacted her face.

Others accused her of lying about the extent of her surgery.

She playfully compared the changes she received to a completely different person, referencing the young character Cindy Lou Who from ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas.’ She said, ‘I asked for small adjustments, but it feels like I got Cindy Lou Who!’

Indy recently shared with her fans that the surgery was deeply upsetting, as she’d expected it to only fix injuries she sustained while surfing in 2020.

Instead, she experienced considerable swelling and uneven nostrils, which she says led to constant negative comments online.

I know I probably don’t look my best right now, it’s only been two weeks since the procedure,” she admitted while recovering. “I’m still experiencing numbness, but I’m told things will gradually improve. There’s quite a bit of swelling, both visible and inside my nose, which is making my nostrils look a little different.

The mother of three said the online comments were so overwhelming that she eventually just started to ignore them and laugh it off.

I’ve accepted that I can’t change things at the moment. It’s been a really challenging year.

Indy shared that despite her popular videos and seemingly perfect online presence, she’s been struggling to cope with a lot of public attention and criticism.

‘This year I’ve had a lot of negative feedback and s**t thrown at me,’ she told Daily Mail.

Facing a few setbacks actually helps you become stronger. Putting yourself out there online isn’t the hard part – it’s much easier to create things when you have a supportive audience.
