Davina is 'really nervous' but has 'thought it through properly'. The 21-year-old knows exactly what she wants and what not: 'I definitely don't want a Michael Jackson nose.' ... Carmen: 'she has wanted a nose operation for years'.
What did Davina Geiss say about her nose operation?
Davina Geiss, the elder daughter of the TV millionaires Robert and Carmen Geiss, had her nose operated on at 21 and let the cameras of her RTLZWEI reality series “Davina & Shania – We love Monaco” follow her. FOCUS online reported on the episode in May 2025: Davina said she was “really nervous” but had “thought it through properly”, and her mother explained that Davina had wanted the operation for years.
In November 2025 Promiflash summed up the story and quoted her from the show: “I really thought the operation through and I checked the risks too.” According to the report, it was not only about a finer profile: Davina had problems breathing, and a deviated nasal septum was to be corrected. After the operation, the report says, she can finally breathe better. She also shows the result openly on her Instagram.
That is the full basis of this article. She did not describe the technique or other medical details, so we do not guess at them. Where the text below explains rhinoplasty, it describes the operation in general, not her treatment.
What her story shows
Two things in Davina’s words are worth noting for anyone thinking about a nose operation. First, she took her time: she had wanted it for years and said she checked the risks before saying yes. Second, her reason was not only appearance. A crooked septum that makes breathing harder is a medical problem, and many patients come to a surgeon with exactly this combination — a wish to change the shape and a nose that does not work well.
She was also honest about fear. On the day of surgery she was nervous, especially about the general anaesthesia. That is a normal reaction, and a good clinic explains every step of anaesthesia and aftercare in advance, so the patient knows what will happen. Nothing in this article judges anyone’s appearance; the point is how the decision was made.

How rhinoplasty is done today
Rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose and, if needed, improves breathing. The main variants:
- Open rhinoplasty — a small incision on the columella, the skin between the nostrils, gives the surgeon a full view.
- Closed rhinoplasty — all incisions are inside the nose, with no visible scar.
- Rhinoseptoplasty — shape correction combined with straightening the nasal septum to make breathing easier.
Goal
- Rhinoplasty
- Change the shape: hump, tip, width
- Rhinoseptoplasty
- Shape plus a straighter septum for easier breathing

Who is it for and how to prepare
People consider rhinoplasty because of a hump, a wide or drooping tip, asymmetry after an injury or difficulty breathing through the nose. The optimal age is 18–45; older patients can be operated on if their health allows. Before surgery patients have a complete blood count, biochemistry, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the sinuses.
Preparation starts about 21 days before; blood-thinning drugs are stopped only with the doctor’s approval, and alcohol and smoking a week before. The last food and drink are six hours before the operation.
Recovery step by step
The first 24 hours are spent in the clinic’s inpatient unit. In the first days patients breathe through the mouth because of splints in the nostrils, and swelling and bruising are possible. The nasal splints come out on day 7, the external splint and stitches by day 14. For a month there is no exercise, sauna, pool, hot baths or sunbathing, and mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months.
First improvements are visible after 2–3 weeks, full breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks, healing takes about 4 months, and the final shape settles in 1–1.5 years. Seek a doctor immediately for difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or a change in shape. The timeline below shows the stages.
