Woman wants doctors to fix her botched nose job… so she can run in the park with her son and BREATHE properly

Edra's originally had surgery aged just 15 after being teased by a boy

A WOMAN'S appearance has been transformed after she begged doctors to fix her botched nose - so she can breathe and run in the park with her son.

When American Edra was just 15 years old, the appearance of her nose reduced her to tears after she was teased and taunted by a boy she had a crush on.

Her parents agreed to let her have surgery to correct her nose, as she believed it looked too big for her face - but the results were catastrophic, putting her natural beauty at risk.

Initially, the surgery seemed to have been a great success, as Edra's nosed appeared slimmed down and she was pleased with her new look.

But around three to four years after the original operation, she noticed her nose started to change, as she suffered a so-called "nose fall" and the cartilage in the bottom fell - which left her nose looking unnaturally sharp and pointy.

And it didn't just affect her appearance - Edra's misshapen nose made it difficult for her to breathe properly, meaning she was unable to run around with her son.

In a last-ditch attempt to restore her looks, desperate Edra sought out the help of doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif, the plastic surgeons on E!'s "Botched" - a reality show which follows professionals as they correct plastic surgeries that went wrong.

The doctors vowed to help Edra - but warned that it would come at a cost, as her nose would have to be slightly enlarged to reverse the "drooping" effect of her previous nose job.

During Edra's "tricky" surgery, Dr Nassif was forced to attempt to reconstruct the tip of Edra's nose three times after discovering damage in the cartilage itself, to ensure her new nose wouldn't veer off to the side.

Eventually, Dr Nassif was able to remove a "gigantic piece of cartilage" along her septum, during what he described as "a very complex tip surgery".

After the surgery, an ecstatic Edra's nose was described as looking "a lot better" - and she showed off her transformation to delighted members of her family.

Dr Nassif explained: "Her left airway was completely blocked by that gigantic piece of cartilage along the septum.

"Finding this gigantic piece of cartilage which is blocking the airway and then removing it, great feeling. Now hopefully she'll be able to breathe 1000 percent better."

In the same episode, Dr Dubrow operated on Samantha - who had been left with a "supa fupa" (a large about of fat covering a woman's vagina) and a leaky bellybutton after discounted surgery went drastically wrong.

The mum-of-one originally went to her doctor to have a hysterectomy, but was offered a surgical bundle which included treatment for newly discovered thyroid cancer - and a cosmetic tummy tuck.

Dr Dubrow said: "That makes my head want to explode.

"When I hear that a doctor would want to treat a cosmetic deformity before taking care of a new cancer diagnosis…that screams of greed."
