Devyn Aiken has felt since she was a young child that people notice her nose first, and not in a positive way. She wondered how different life could be, and for years she dreamed about altering it.
That dream has now come true at the age of thirty. Devyn has had the makeover she has always desired after saving $11,000 for a rhinoplasty for over ten years. She didn’t anticipate, however, how much the transformation would affect her outside of the mirror.
Since childhood, Devyn Aiken felt her nose drew unwanted attention. By 30, after saving $11,000 over ten years, she finally underwent rhinoplasty—a decision she calls the best of her life. Though she never considered herself ugly, Devyn admits her nose was something she always disliked.
Her surgery, performed by Dr. Mark Ginsburg, transformed more than her appearance. On TikTok, where she has over 61,000 followers, she shares recovery updates, before-and-after photos, and candid reflections. What began as a personal journey has become a platform for openness about cosmetic surgery, inspiring others considering similar choices.
“I’m not erasing who I was,” she says proudly. “I just made a change for myself.” Today, Devyn embraces both her new look and her confidence.
Any kind of post will attract hateful comments, so it’s not surprising that Aiken’s videos detailing her cosmetic alterations have drawn particularly harsh criticism. Fortunately, over the years, her sensitivity to that kind of criticism has decreased.
“I was a little nervous putting myself out there because I get nasty comments every day. Every time I log onto my social media, there’s a disgusting comment,” says the TikTok star. “People just have a misconception that [with] plastic surgery, you’re like this fake bimbo. You’re making yourself into someone else. That’s not the case. I’m just enhancing and improving myself.”
Here is the complete opposite experience of a woman who dared to talk about her regrettable experience with poorly done facial fillers. The woman was left appearing “like a Gargoyle” following treatments performed by a phoney doctor. Andrea came out and told her tale to warn others about poor doctors, even though she was quite frustrated by the event.
