Jessie shared a series of photos of her new nose taken from the front and side, and revealed it had been a long recovery.
‘The first few months I was a bit shocked with how much swelling remained in my face (which is completely normal) but over the past month-and-a-half the swelling has reduced so much and the tip of my nose has become more defined,’ she added.
‘Another little thing I noticed, before my surgery I would get really puffy eyes due to not having a clear way of air, since having my surgery done I haven’t had any puffiness under my eyes which is an absolute bonus!’

The former reality star revealed in March that she had undergone surgery to repair a deviated septum and ‘bump’ in the bridge of her nose from a previous break.
At the time, she said she was ‘so happy’ with the results of her surgery, even though the initial recovery had been ‘very grim’.
‘I would look at my bandaged up face and think what the heck have I done!!’ she confessed, sharing photos of her bruised and battered face.

Jessie said she’d also decided to slightly alter the shape of her nose after admitting she’d been ‘extremely insecure about my face’.
‘While I was going under and having my nose cut open I was like well, whyyy not give me a cute little dip in it,’ she explained.
‘I didn’t want to change my nose completely and wanted my face to still look like mine, but my deviated septum and the bump in my nose made me feel extremely insecure about my face and is something I have wanted corrected for so long.’

Jessie said she’d decided to share photos of her painful-looking recovery because most people only ever ‘see the amazing results of a surgery’.
‘We sometimes aren’t aware of how tough it is on your body and how intense the recovery periods can be, so here are a few photos of me looking like miserable af [as f**k] while I was recovering,’ she added.
She gave fans another update on her recovery in May, and revealed that seven weeks post-surgery, she still had some swelling.

‘The swelling is really starting to settle and I’m starting to see my tip becoming more defined,’ she said at the time.
Jessie also explained that she would have to ‘tape my nose’ every night for six months after her surgery.
She added: ‘A subtle enhancement and no deviated septum!! So happy with my whole experience.’
