Women who is getting a nose job on the NHS is trolled and told ‘it’s a waste of taxpayers’ money’

A women who is getting a free nose job on the NHS due to medical reasons has been trolled for ‘wasting taxpayers’ money’.

Olivia Alison, 23, from Birmingham, has a deviated septum from a previous broken nose. 

She needs corrective surgery or she will continue to have trouble breathing, and it could also affect her hearing and eyesight. 

The 23-year-old claimed that the surgeon will also remove the bump on her nose, so she will get some aesthetic benefit from the procedure. 

Septorhinoplasty is performed to help address breathing difficulties, but it can also correct deformity following an injury, although it’s not done on the NHS for solely cosmetic reasons. 

Olivia has been sharing her journey on her TikTok account @oliviaalison3 but has been met with some criticism.   

The video showing Olivia’s nose before her surgery has since gone viral with over 330,000 views. 

In the clip captioned ‘free nose job’ Olivia showed off her nose and winked at the end of the video. 

Despite needing the surgery – some trolls claimed it’s a waste of taxpayers’ money, while others wondered how they too could get a free nose job on the NHS. 

One person said: ‘Why? That’s a waste of taxpayers’ money .. I’ve seen a lot worse and they had to pay.’

While another TikTok user wrote:  ‘I hope this is a joke about the NHS.’

A third commented: ‘You know how scabby that sounds? Begger, pay for it yourself. NHS is for emergency only.’

The negative comments prompted Olivia to respond explaining the surgery was necessary.

She said: ‘This is an absolutely necessary surgery as I cannot breathe through my nose and can affect sight and hearing in the future if it’s not corrected.’

Some other users wanted tips on how to get a free nose job on the public health service. 

One said:’ How are you getting it paid for by the NHS? help a gal out x’

While others claimed she was using the word ‘nose job’ in the wrong context and warned her that the NHS would only fix the septum and not it’s appearance. 

With one person saying: ‘it’s not a nose job it’s septoplasty and there’s no guarantee it’ll straighten your nose.’

Another said: ‘If it’s a septoplasty they won’t fix the bump or anything in terms of aesthetics it’s to do with the inside septum.’ 

To which Olivia replied: ‘It’s actually septorhinoplasty and also septoplasty is still a nose job.

‘It’s a septorhinoplasty so it’s both, he said he’s removing the bump and reducing the tip along with correcting the septum.’
