Botched Patient Born With "Pig Nose" Details Heartbreaking Story of Lifelong Bullying
Thanks to an up-turned nose, Botched patient Alyssa has lived a life of torture.
The Illinois native emotionally recounts her experience being bullied over her up-turned nose, deemed a "pig nose," in E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the season eight premiere.
"My childhood was rough," Alyssa shares in a confessional. "As far back as I can remember I have been made fun of because of my nose. And there came a point—I think I was seven years old—and I even asked my dad if I was meant to be a pig in life because it was just so put in my head that I had a pig nose and that's what I was supposed to be."
Her facial deformity impacted every aspect of her life, including dating.
"So, here I am, 38 and only one boyfriend in my entire life," Alyssa continues. "And that did not even last that long. I'm so self-conscious about it."
Even more heartbreaking is the fact that her nose discouraged her from ever wanting to have kids of her own.
"I didn't want to pass on this nose to them, because I didn't want them to look like that," Alyssa admits. "I don't want them to be bullied the way I was."
At the end of the day, she just wants "to look in the mirror and not focus in on my nose."
It was during her consultation with doctors Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow that Alyssa shared how she was called "pig nose" every single day while growing up, prompting Paul to sympathize, "Can you imagine being traumatized that early?"
At age 14, she sought help, but after her first doctor put in an implant, the problem only worsened. "If anything it just made it more broad and more protruded," Ashley noted. "It pushed out. And then, as the months went on, you could start to see the implant."
See if the docs can help Alyssa when Botched returns Aug. 3 at 10 p.m. on E!. And keep reading to see the most shocking transformations in Botched history.

A freak accident during a float trip almost cost patient Kaitlyn her leg. While she was lucky enough to get her injured knee treated at the time, it turned out to be a short-term fix—that was, until the Botched docs stepped in and saved the day. Now, she's living pain-free.
Upon meeting the Botched docs, Destiny joked that she had a "ball sack" on her foot.

Thankfully, Dr. Dubrow was able to greatly reduce the size.

From itching to sweating, the birth mark was a major inconvenience for Jazmyn—and also a possible health risk if it kept growing, according to Dr. Dubrow. With the help of Dr. Nassif's ingenious tissue expander idea, Jazmyn was rid of her birth mark once and for all.
Aia received calf implants 17 years ago after having a break-through "past life immersion" experience. Admittedly "obsessed" with how her legs looked, Aia realized that she was suffering from a "sub-conscious memory" from her past. "In my past life, I was a German soldier," Aia explained. "I was on the battlefield and something blew up next to my legs."
Yet, after getting her implants, she was faced with some present life problems. "All I wanted was bigger calves, and now I have deformed purple legs," she complained. "They look like they came from another human being." She taped down her legs to compress them, and also revealed that her right leg felt like it was on fire. Dr. Dubrow realized that Aia's implant was "bent on itself" and harming her nerves. Both implants were removed, and Aia could see her natural legs once again.
Yazmin was fed up with her "lumpy and bumpy" chin which she called her "giant." At age 14, Yazmin had surgery that took fat from her stomach to reconstruct her chin following an accident. Yet, Yazmin remained self-conscious of the bottom half of her face for years. Dr. Nassif tightened the skin around her chin to smooth the contours and also lifted up the tissue to fix Yazmin's slightly droopy mouth. It was yet another success story for the doc!
Shannah was checked for the BRCA-2 gene following her father's Paget's disease diagnosis for the male equivalent of breast cancer. Shannah underwent a double mastectomy in 2014, but her reconstructive implants were not properly expanding.

Thankfully, he removed all of the tissue and Shannah could breathe easy with her new and improved implants.
Real estate agent Christy fell for "retail medicine at its worst" when it came to her two-for-one rhinoplasty procedure. Her past doctor blamed her "defective" cartilage, but Dr. Nassif is determined to fix Christy's slanted nose. Yet, her procedure comes with a slight surprise while she's under the knife: Dr. Nassif dealt with unexpected booze ooze thanks to Christy's alcohol intake leading up to her surgery. "This probably will not be the last time a White Claw gets me in trouble," Christy joked after her nose job. "But I just see what I feel like should have been on my face my entire life." Consider her surgery a huge success!
Lifelong professional surfer Bruno has been suffering from two mystery masses for years. Thankfully, his pathology results came back negative for cancer, but Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif were still baffled by the "barnacles" and "coral"-like tissue that they removed from Bruno's chest. At least he's back doing what he was made to do: riding the waves!
Brittnie got a nose job as a teenager without telling her mother, leaving her with an "Owen Wilson" nose. Dr. Nassif realized Brittany's bones were straight, but it was her cartilage that had deviated over the years. Despite the "risky" surgery, Dr. Nassif put Brittnie's nose back intact. "I am so happy," Brittnie beamed. "I am beginning to love myself more."
Yuliana wanted a plump rear like Jennifer Lopez end following her weight loss, but multiple visits to a doctor in Colombia only left her with a "deformed" behind that put her on the brink of divorce. Thankfully, Dr. Dubrow was there to remove all implants and silicone injections, and help put Yuliana back on the path of a natural butt.
Sara felt self-conscious after breaking her nose at age eight during a wrestling match.

Dr. Nassif thankfully fixed Sara's nose so she could be proud of her new look.
Deana was hoping for a "Pamela Anderson look" with bouncing Baywatch breasts, but she instead got two "rotten apples with a bite taken out" of her chest. Yikes! Despite Deana's "freak show" bosom, Dr. Dubrow re-crafted her breast implants to be more shapely.
After three failed surgeries, Yesenia thought her nose looked like it was "smashed against a window" permanently. Dr. Nassif treated her collapsed nostrils, empty nose syndrome and former "parrot"-like nose so Yesenia could finally get the before and after photos she dreamed of.

Yet the top doctor knew how to piece her nose back together again just in time for Holly's big day.
