You always hear about people who do so much cocaine that their septums disappear on their noses, but I don’t think that I’ve ever actually seen too many pictures of people in this situation.

TikToker Kelly is determined to change that though by sharing videos of her experiences on the social media platform. Kelly describes herself as ‘a recovering addict, widow and kind of a badass’ and regularly shares her experiences with addiction and reconstructive surgery on her nose.
Here’s what she had to say:

I destroyed my face with too much cocaine.
I did entirely too much cocaine, the inside of my nose, my septum, deteriorated completely.
And then over time, my nose fell flat. I’m in the process of trying to fix it.
What’s going on right here on my face is called the forehead flap.
These things in my nose are called nasal trumpets. They go all the way up here – I’m not gonna pull them out again, that upset some people in my last video, we’re not doing that again.
OK, so couple of questions. This right here is hair because it came from the scalp. So this is an entire flap of skin.
No, it’s not flat on my face. Take a look. Oh, you can see my eyeball. It’s a trick. It’s a party trick. Anyway, this stays wrapped in medicated gauze.
No, I’ll probably never feel the inside of my nose again. What happened was they had to make a blood supply into the tip of my nose from parts from my left arm.
So they cut open my left arm, they took out a vein, an artery, muscle, skin, f***ing all of it, right? A nerve, took it all out.F***in made an incision here… they made a blood supply, so that the tip of my nose had life, because when you do a lot of drugs – especially the types that I did – you will kill the tissue to the tip of your nose, and I had no what they call columella, which is what this skin is here separating the two nostrils.
I had one giant nostril because I did too much cocaine – don’t do drugs.
Jesus Christ. If ever there was an advertisement for not doing drugs then this woman’s TikTok account is definitely somewhere near the top of the list. Her nose is completely rank but fair play to her for sharing her experiences and hopefully discouraging people in similar positions to do copious amounts of blow. You have to respect that.
