Slovak guy with a malformed bulbous nose that spanned over HALF of his face has finally undergone surgery after years of being made to feel like ‘a clown’ because of his appearance.
After being called a “clown” for many years, a man from Slovakia has at long last had surgery to correct the severe deformity of his nose.
Tibor, who was 52 years old, had a massive nose that encompassed about half of his face.
However, he was unable to have the condition corrected because of his anxiety of surgery.
Tibor was afflicted with a disorder referred to as rhinophyma at the time.
The procedure was performed on the father of three after he was convinced to have it by his family.
Tibor was able to lead a regular life when doctors fashioned him a new nose ‘as though from play dough,’ enabling him to function normally again.
According to Tibor, who is a locksmith, living with rhinophyma has had a significant impact on his self-confidence.
He said, “People look at me like they see a clown when I walk down the street.”
Tibor had surgery at a facility located in the city of Martin in the center northern region of Slovakia.
Tibor’s nose came out looking much better right after the procedure, which, thankfully, went off without a hitch.
Rhinophyma is a disorder that causes the growth of a big, bulbous, and rosy nose. It is most usually caused by rosacea that has not been treated.
Tibor’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Igor Homola, warned that the inflammation caused by the condition is not just a cosmetic concern but also has the potential to cause vision loss.
