Due to the botched surgery Shari had developed what is known as ‘polly beak’, a post-operative deformity that can cause the the tip of the nose to slowly collapse away from the cartilage, causing it to resemble a parrot’s beak, per the Daily Mail.
Fearing she would need reconstructive surgery, Shari travelled 2,500 miles to LA to get advice from a top surgeon – only to be recommended leech therapy by the doctor who explained it would start the blood circulating in the back of her nose again.
