“I didn’t pay for the procedure. I won’t call it free, but it was a collaboration between me and the hospital,” the content creator said in a YouTube video posted on Friday.

“I only did my visa and booked my flight to Turkey. I did a nose job and he also did a slight eye lift.”

Explaining further, Zicsaloma said, “The hospital caught my attention among others I had seen on my Instagram and TikTok feeds because I saw that they did it for a black person. After I messaged them to ask how much, they said I have a lot of followers and they’d like a collaboration.”

Before agreeing on the collaboration, he said he did his research on the doctor.

He said the doctor’s consultation fee typically ranges from $300 to $400, adding that rhinoplasty costs between $5,000 and $6,000, while the eye rejuvenation and temporary facelift cost about $2,500 each.

“I didn’t pay for consultation. During the consultation via a video call, my doctor said I would look definitely better with a nose job. I asked a lot of questions about my fears and insecurities,” said Zicsaloma.

“He told me about the risk of infection and bleeding, which is one in a thousand cases. The worst that will happen is that the person will go for a revision to do another one. I said I didn’t want it too pointy, and he said he would give me ethnic rhinoplasty that would make me still look African.”

Zicsaloma revealed that he traveled alone to Turkey on January 23, 2025, for surgery, which was done the next day.

Since then, critics have accused him of having low self-esteem for undergoing the procedure.

The comedian admitted that he was insecure about his nose.

“I’ve always had a very flat nose and right from childhood I’ve felt that if I could do my nose, I would reconstruct it. I’ve been constantly ridiculed because of my nose. My siblings would always insult me saying, ‘Your nose is too ugly. Your nose is too big.’ I carried my papa’s nose in excess,” he said.

Zicsaloma said he believed everyone has insecurities, explaining that some ladies can’t wear some dresses because they have big stomachs or K-leg.
