Nigerian comedian and skit creator, Zic Saloma, has spoken honestly about his decision to undergo nose surgery, revealing that the choice came after years of battling insecurity and losing career opportunities because of his looks.
In a heartfelt video shared on his Instagram page, the popular content creator admitted that rejection and criticism in the entertainment industry took a toll on his confidence, prompting him to make a change through cosmetic surgery.
“I wasn’t comfortable with how I looked,” Zic said. “I had missed several job offers because of my appearance. So I decided to fix what made me unhappy. If surgery will make you feel better and you can afford it safely, do it.”
The comedian disclosed that he had rhinoplasty in Turkey, which also included a facelift and eye rejuvenation. The entire procedure lasted over four hours and cost about $11,000. However, he clarified that he didn’t pay for it directly, as the operation was part of a collaboration deal with the hospital.
Zic Saloma, known for his multi-character comedy skits and unique storytelling style, said the transformation has helped him regain self-confidence and inspired him to pursue new opportunities in his career.
He encouraged others struggling with body image issues not to feel ashamed about taking steps that improve their confidence, emphasizing that self-acceptance and personal happiness matter more than public opinion.
