WOMAN'S LIFE-CHANGING OP AFTER THREE BOTCHED NOSE JOBS

A woman who had three botched nose jobs finally feels pretty after forking out £8.5k on surgery to fix her profile. 40-year-old Vanessa Brooks, from Norwich, Norfolk underwent rhinoplasty six years ago, but was left with a BEAK. The full-time mum-of-four had two further ops to fix her nose and each time, she was left in a worse mess than before. The trauma caused by three botched surgeries left her housebound, jobless and even cost her her marriage.
