Model with breathing issues watches as surgeon pulls lump of COCAINE out of her nose

Ava Louise was left stunned after surgeons pulled out a lump of cocaine from her nostrils as she underwent nose job surgery due to breathing struggles.

The 24-year-old, , from New Jersey, US, says she got hooked on the Class A drug during the pandemic after dating a drug dealer.

However, Ava started to struggle breathing through her nose and claims to have 'manipulated' her mum into paying for the cosmetic surgery - having begged her since she was 17.

After she went under the knife earlier this year, Ava's plastic surgeon explained the blockage was not due to a problem with her septum, but drugs.

The model then took to social media platform TikTok to explain the ordeal, with the video racking up seven million views and 890,000 likes since it was posted.

The post proved divisive, with TikTok users split in the comments section.

One person said: "The way my jaw dropped."

Another shocked user said: "Oh. my god."

"I would've been like 'oops I forgot that was in there I'll just take that back'," joked someone else.

Another person added: "Haha it's all fun and games until you get a septal perforation."

However, other users were sceptical of Ava's claims, with one commenter stating "Wonderful imagination," while another said, "No way this actually happened lmao, if it was real coke it would dissolve."

Someone else agreed: "Bruh it would've dissolved by then."

After facing backlash for her wild drug story, Ava spoke to NeedToKnow.online about the ordeal.

She said: "When the plastic surgeon showed us the large rock, my mum was right beside me. She was so upset but I was laughing.

"I had the money to pay for it myself but I wanted it for free.

"I managed to manipulate her into paying for it. I've been wanting one since I was 17. I knew her hearing me wheeze would scare her enough to pay for it."

She went on to say that it was after she received the nose job that the doctors showed her the rock of cocaine that they had found inside one of her nostrils.

She added: "I'm pretty sure the doctor thought it was just a booger but my mum knew immediately.

"My ex-boyfriend used to be a dealer so I had an unlimited supply."

After the ordeal, Ava has sworn off drugs, stating: "Everyone I know thought it was absolutely hysterical.

"My friends and I were total degenerates in college so this was a great story for us.

"I don't do drugs anymore as I don't want to mess up my new nose.

"It's more vulnerable now since it's been operated on, I have to be careful."
