Thanks to an up-turned nose, Botched patient Mellissa 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," Mellissa 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," Mellissa 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.
