A Philadelphia woman is going viral for openly sharing her plastic surgery journey — and she says it’s completely changed her life.
Devyn Aiken, 30, has amassed more than 61,000 TikTok followers by posting unfiltered updates about her recent rhinoplasty. But according to Aiken, her decision wasn’t about becoming someone else.
“I’ve always thought I was pretty. I never considered myself ugly,” Aiken told PEOPLE in an interview. “I just hated my nose. That’s all.”

After years of saving, Aiken finally underwent the procedure last November with Dr. Mark Ginsburg, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon and ENT. The surgery cost her roughly $11,000 — all out of pocket.
From Insecurity to Influence
Aiken has been candid about the emotional roller coaster that led her to the operating room. She revealed she first asked her mom for a nose job at 14 years old after relentless teasing in middle school.
“Kids used to call me names like bird and Toucan Sam,” she said. “It made me feel like my nose was the only thing people noticed.”
