Towie’s James ‘Arg’ Argent is having a nose job after complaining it’s ‘too big for his face’ after incredible four stone weight loss
JAMES ‘Arg’ Argent has decided to go under the knife and have a nose job after his dramatic four stone has left him feeling like his nose was “too big.”
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, the Towie favourite revealed that since losing weight during his 10-week stint in Thai rehab this year, his nose looks more “prominent”, and has left him particularly self-conscious about a bump and large nostrils.
Arg, 29, said: “At school my nickname was always ‘Nostrils’ because my nostrils are huge – I’ve literally never seen anyone with bigger nostrils than me!
“I’ve always known I’ve had a big nose, but where I’ve been so up and down with my weight for so many years, my nose didn’t stand out as much, but now I’ve lost four stone my features show a lot more and I’ve got this large bump and nostrils that are even more prominent.”
“I think if I have the bump removed and the nostrils made smaller it will make me feel a lot more confident and be another step into helping me better myself since leaving rehab – and I’m not gonna lie, better looking and more attractive.
“I want to feel better when I take selfies as there are some I don’t upload because I’m unhappy with my nose, and yeah of course it would be great if it helped meet more women too!
"I spent three months doing Celebs Go Dating and my confidence with women is really improving, so if I can change this part of me that I don't feel confident about I think that will make dating a lot easier.
He added: “I’m so proud of the weight I’ve lost and I’ve got a bit more to go and some toning up to do, but I’ve completely turned my life around this year, and I feel this will just help to complete the better version of me.”
Aware of the magnitude of the £6,500 procedure, Arg has made sure he’s going to a doctor he can trust, so has chosen Dr Frati who was responsible for Mario Falcone’s nose job in September 2016.
“Mario was extremely pleased with the results and really complimentary of Dr. Frati, I went for a consultation and feel really confident that he’d the right person for the job," explained Arg.

“Of course I’m nervous as it’s a relatively complex operation, and I don’t know how they go about making the nostrils smaller, but you obviously hope it turns out the way you want it to.
“Dr Frati showed me a computerised version of what I can expect the results to be like and I’m really happy with it.”
And when it comes to results, Arg had some A-list inspirations – which he’s emphasises are very “manly”.
“I want a nose like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas or Mark Ronson.
“They’ve both got really manly and Italian looking noses and that’s exactly the look I want to go for, I don’t want a tiny pixie nose, I want to look manly.”
However unlike his Essex co-stars, Arg insists this is as far as he’s going to go with the cosmetic procedures.
“I don’t want to look like a Ken Doll”, he says.
“I’m not obsessed with surgeries, I’ve only had four veneers on my top front teeth which made so much difference but didn’t look fake.
“I just want to keep my manly, natural look.”
And of course best mate Mark Wright has been supporting Arg at every step of the way.
“Mark told me to go for it, and that I should do what it takes to make me feel better and more confident!”
