“I would wake up in the middle of the night … It was so uncomfortable because I couldn’t move my nose or mouth very much,” she elaborated.
“The first five days I constantly had blood and snot in my throat and had an incredibly dry throat all the time. It was absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend it.”
The psychological effect on Macias was as pronounced

“I started to unknowingly fall into a deep post op depression,” Macias shared. “I cried for a week straight. I was so wildly sad,” she said, which prevailed despite her loved one’s attempts at consoling her.
“My loved ones would console me and call me beautiful over and over. I would just shake my head and fervently say, ‘Thank you but I don’t believe you.’ I felt like I had ruined myself with all my heart. I felt so ugly.”
Contributing to her mental state was guilt as she felt “deeply ashamed of herself for giving in to societal standards.”
The 36-year-old says she still struggles to look into mirrors
Macias’ tryst with the scalpel down in Mexico has made her something of an expert in the importance of accepting one’s nose.
“A nose job is an incredibly profound change to the physical, mental and emotional state of one’s being.”
“Your brain will also reject your reflection and make it appear more warped than it might be so you can clear your face of foreign objects. I couldn’t look at myself without shaking my head in regret.”
