People Can’t Believe How This Woman Looks After Getting A $11k Nose Job
A 30-year-old woman from Philadelphia, Devyn Aiken, is capturing attention online after sharing her deeply personal plastic surgery experience. With over 61,000 TikTok followers, Aiken has become known for her honest updates about her rhinoplasty procedure — a decision she says has completely changed her life.
“I’ve always thought I was pretty. I never considered myself ugly,” Aiken said. “I just hated my nose. That’s all.”
For Aiken, the surgery was not about creating a new identity but about aligning her outer appearance with how she felt inside. Years of teasing during her school days had left her self-conscious about her nose, which she said drew constant unwanted attention. “Kids used to call me names like bird and Toucan Sam,” she recalled. “It made me feel like my nose was the only thing people noticed.”
After saving diligently for years, Aiken finally underwent rhinoplasty last November with Dr. Mark Ginsburg, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon and ear, nose, and throat specialist. The surgery, which she paid for entirely out of pocket, cost around $11,000. She said she specifically sought an ENT surgeon to ensure that the procedure would not affect her breathing. “I didn’t want a Barbie nose. I just wanted something natural that fit my face,” Aiken explained.
Before the operation, Aiken kept her decision private, revealing her plans to family only a week before. “Not because I was scared of judgment,” she said. “I just didn’t want anyone to talk me out of it.” The night before surgery, nerves nearly got the best of her. “I was so nervous I literally made myself sick,” she admitted. “But I knew this was something I’d waited on for decades.”
Her story — raw, relatable, and unapologetically honest — has sparked widespread discussion about self-image and the growing openness surrounding cosmetic surgery in today’s social media era.
