Did Anisia Gafton have a nose job? She says one operation, on her septum
Anisia Gafton, the Romanian actress, comedian and TV personality seen on PRO TV’s roast show and in Christmas films in 2025, has been asked many times about cosmetic surgery. In an exclusive interview with Libertatea in December 2025 she answered with one sentence: a single operation, on a deviated septum, with an aesthetic correction. Below is what she said, and what this kind of operation involves.

So… I have one operation! A single operation for a septal deviation, with an aesthetic part, and that’s it.
What did Anisia Gafton say about her operation?
The Romanian daily Libertatea spoke to her on the set of PRO TV’s New Year’s Eve show in December 2025. Jokes about her looks had come up again on the roast show La bine și la roast, and she was asked directly how many operations she really has. Her answer: “So… I have one operation! A single operation for a septal deviation, with an aesthetic part, and that’s it.” She added, laughing, that she had also wanted to have her appendix out, but it was not needed.

WhatsAppShe treated the roast jokes calmly. She said she had written jokes for the show herself, that jokes are made so people can laugh, and that in her colleagues’ place she would have made the same ones about herself.
That is all this article relies on. She did not say when the operation took place, where, or which technique was used, and we do not guess at it. Where the text below explains the operation and recovery, it describes septorhinoplasty in general, not her treatment.
What her answer tells us
Her short reply separates two things that are often mixed up: an operation to correct a deviated septum, which is about breathing, and an aesthetic change to the shape of the nose. In practice the two are frequently done in one session, and surgeons call this septorhinoplasty. She named exactly that combination, and nothing more.

There is also a broader point. Public figures are often credited with a long list of procedures based on photos and rumours. Gafton answered with a precise number, one, and with humour rather than defensiveness. Nothing in this article judges anyone’s appearance; the point is the facts she chose to state herself.

How rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty are done today
A deviated septum can block one or both sides of the nose and make breathing through it harder. When the outer shape is also corrected in the same operation, the surgeon plans both steps together.
Septoplasty
- What it corrects
- A deviated septum and blocked breathing
- How it is done
- Work on the inner partition of the nose
Closed rhinoplasty
- What it corrects
- Moderate shape or tip corrections
- How it is done
- All incisions inside the nose, no visible scar
Open rhinoplasty
- What it corrects
- Complex or larger structural changes
- How it is done
- A small incision across the columella for full visibility
Septorhinoplasty
- What it corrects
- Breathing and shape together
- How it is done
- Septum straightened and nose reshaped in one session
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 1.5–3 hours, depending on complexity. Patients normally stay one day in the inpatient unit afterwards.
Who is a candidate, and how to prepare
Septorhinoplasty is usually considered by adults who have trouble breathing through the nose because of the septum and who would also like a change in its shape, or by people who mainly want a shape correction but also have a crooked septum.
- Bring your history: earlier injuries to the nose, allergies, sinus problems and any previous nasal surgery.
- Expect standard tests: blood work, a coagulation panel, infection screening, an ECG and imaging of the sinuses.
- Plan the pause: stop smoking and alcohol about a week before, and agree with the doctor on blood-thinning medicines.
What recovery looks like
The first day is spent in the clinic under observation. In the first days there is swelling and some bruising, and breathing is mainly through the mouth while internal splints are in place; they usually come out around day 7. The external splint stays on for up to two weeks. Sport, sauna, swimming pools and direct sun are avoided for about a month.
A mild stuffy feeling can linger for several weeks. The first clear improvement shows after two to three weeks, and the final shape settles over about one to one and a half years.
How recovery after septorhinoplasty usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours; one day in the inpatient unit.
- Days 1–7Swelling and bruising; breathing mostly through the mouth with internal splints.
- Around day 7Internal splints are removed.
- Up to day 14The external splint comes off.
- About 1 monthNo sport, sauna, pool or direct sun; first clear improvement after 2–3 weeks.
- 1–1.5 yearsThe final shape settles.
