He said: “Everything has changed for me, I can walk into places anywhere and just feel comfortable.
“I don’t feel like everyone is looking at me from an angle where I’m uncomfortable.”
Sam continued: “It’s this ever-worrying, ‘Did you take that picture of me where I’m on that side of my face?’
“Or when I get married one day, please God if I meet someone, I hope this will help.
“That side angle of standing at the front of the altar and having to have my nose on the side is something I’m afraid of and this will get rid of all that.”
And as his new nose was revealed, Sam was overcome with happiness as he exclaimed: ‘Wow this is incredible, I can’t explain it. This is just the weirdest thing. I’m so happy, so happy that I feel like I have to celebrate.’
Checking in with Sam eight weeks after his procedure, he talked about the mental change the physical change had enabled.
She began: “The physical change is just one aspect and then you come to the other side and it’s the mental aspect of having something that you’ve been stigmatized for your whole life.
“Like I’m 29, almost 30, and now I know for the next 30 or 60 years I can just live without this one thing that always gets me down.”
