I flew to Turkey for a nose job — haters are just mad I’m ‘hot as hell’
She’s turning her nose up at the haters.
A California TikToker is under fire for claiming she flew to Turkey just for a nose job, documenting her extensive efforts for the perfect schnoz in viral clips online.
Alexandria Linton, 24, announced her Istanbul travels in mid-March. The content creator dished that she had been dreaming of a new nose for four years and chose Turkey due to the “quality of work.”
But in the comments sections of numerous clips about her rhinoplasty, her followers argued that she doesn’t “need a nose job” because her nose is “already perfection.”
Swearing it’s just a filter on her videos, Linton, who boasts over 87,000 followers on TikTok, brushed off her critics, jetted to Turkey and went under the knife last week.
She told fans that she hated the shape of her sniffer before the modification, admitting she asked for a “Barbie” nose.
“Do not let anyone talk you out of getting plastic surgery,” she said in a post-op video with over 130,000 views. “I have this cast on my face, and I still feel hot as hell.”
“Do what you want, do what makes you feel happy, and do what makes you feel the most confident,” she added. “Frick everybody else.”
Linton told The Post on Saturday she is thrilled with the end result, despite the backlash.
“Luckily, I’m not as sensitive, so I can bear the harsh criticism, but at the end of the day, I’m the person who has to live with myself, wake up to myself, look at myself every day, day in, day out, in the mirror, and I’m very happy with my decision,” the Newport Beach resident told The Post, saying the negative comments from people who “hide behind a screen” don’t affect her very much.
“I’m a huge advocate for making people feel better in whatever capacity they may find that in, whether that’s the gym or pilates or meditation, and I think plastic surgery is just one avenue to go down when it comes down to helping people feel more confident,” she added.
She said she often responds to followers’ inquiries in the name of transparency.
TikTok viewers have championed Linton for that attitude.
“People just don’t want you to look better than them,” noted one person.
“People will literally tell you this just to hold you back,” wrote another.
“I love all my work, idc what anyone says,” declared someone else.
In another video with more than 109,000 views, Linton poses in sweatpants and her nose cast, writing, “When they give you hate about plastic surgery but they’re really just mad you’re getting hotter.”
Under the video, users told her she looked “mid” — or average — and that her “insecurities” are screaming out, expressing shock that Linton would pay thousands of dollars for plastic surgery.
“Most ppl too mad they can’t afford it themselves bestie,” consoled one fan.
“They mad they don’t have money to make themselves pretty,” snarked another.
“Do what makes you happy and feel confident,” encouraged someone else. “People aren’t going to live your life for you!”
Linton claims she only shelled out about $4,000 for the surgery — not including airfare — perhaps saving herself some dough compared to the US, where doctors charge $5,000 to $10,000 for the procedure.
Turkey has become a hotspot for cosmetic operations, including plastic surgery and dental procedures such as veneers.
But some patients have warned others of the dangers of international procedures, such as life-threatening infections or a botched end result.
