A 49-year-old woman had her nose removed in 2017 after she was diagnosed with Wegener’s granulomatosis.
Jayne Hardman, of Redditch, Worcestershire, had to get her nose removed after her battle with a rare auto-immune disease.
The mother-of-two says that her nose collapsed after she was diagnosed with Wegener’s granulomatosis.
Jayne revealed that she has spent £3,000 as she is now using a range of magnetic prosthetic noses.
According to DailyMail, Jayne told about the noses she uses: “They use a little gadget that they put on your face which matches the tone needed for the prosthetic, it’s kind of like highlights.”
“They make it look as lifelike as possible, and with this new drunk nose, I keep it in my handbag and pop it on after having a few drinks which match perfectly.”
After a collision with her pet dog CeCe, Jayne was left with a swollen nose and was unable to smell.
She was then diagnosed with an auto-immune disease and had to get her nose removed after three years of her diagnosis.
She talked about the difficult time in her life as she said: “I had six years of looking so awful, one of my friends shared a picture of us years ago and my nose was awful, swollen and dented.”
“Now that I look normal and don’t stand out in a crowd, I’m just so thankful for the service my prosthetic has given me. I’m so more appreciative of the natural elements of my body and it’s empowering now being able to walk around without people stopping their cars to look at me.”
“When I’m out in the sun, or having a drink, sometimes people ask questions about it, but it doesn’t happen as much as you would think.”
Jayne has a supportive husband and children who were always there by her side. Jayne now feels confident and is not embarrassed while going out in public.
She says: “The new nose is amazing; it makes me feel so confident when I’m out – I appreciate that it’s bizarre and I understand when I see people pull faces, but my inner strength has pulled me through this situation for the better.”
“This new nose is perfect, it magnets on and I can put it on whenever I need to. I can’t express enough how happy I am, the entire process has been life-changing”, she added.
