Alan Findlay is making up for lost time in socialising this Christmas after new found confidence since his nose has been transformed.

A dad who felt like “the elephant man” is looking forward to celebrating Christmas properly for the first time in years after a facial transformation.

But on rare occasions it can develop into the more severe rhinophyma in which the skin thickens and the sebaceous glands become enlarged leading to creases and excess flesh around the nose. Alan, who works for a lighting company, said: “I started to notice a difference in my nose round about 2018. “In 2020 the world fell apart for everybody and my condition progressively got worse but we weren’t able to get to see a GP.“I knew I looked terrible because people were mentioning it. My social life became poor, I wasn’t really going out. I just didn’t feel confident.Alan said the way he looked had a real impact on his mental health.

The first procedure was carried out in March, lasting around five hours, and the second two months later took a further two and a half hours.
