According to Pudelek, she decided on rhinoplasty for health reasons, and documented the hospital visit in her own social media before showing the result. Here is exactly what she said about it, where it was reported, and what a nose operation involves for anyone considering it today.

After the surgery I was careful not to show on social media what I looked like. I only did that because my nose was initially bloodied, swollen, seemingly big yet flat, and unnaturally turned up.

WhatsAppIn her own words, quoted in the same article, she explained why she stayed out of view during recovery: „Po operacji pilnowałam się, aby nie pokazywać w social mediach tego, jak wyglądam. Robiłam tak tylko dlatego, bo mój nos początkowo był zakrwawiony, opuchnięty, niby wielki, a płaski i nienaturalnie zadarty do góry” — in English: “After the operation I was careful not to show on social media what I looked like. I only did that because my nose was initially bloodied, swollen, seemingly big yet flat, and unnaturally turned up.”
That is everything this article relies on. Maffashion did not name the hospital, the surgeon or the exact date of the operation in this statement, and this article does not guess at them. Where the text below explains methods, candidacy and recovery, it describes rhinoplasty in general, not her treatment.
Why her description is worth taking seriously
What Maffashion described — a nose that looked bruised, swollen, oddly large yet flattened, and pointed upward in the first period after surgery — is a very ordinary picture of early rhinoplasty swelling, not a sign that anything went wrong. It is exactly the stage most patients go through and usually choose not to post about, which is why her account is useful: it normalises a part of recovery that influencers rarely show in real time.

Nothing in her statement describes the technique used or the specific reason tied to her health, and this article does not invent either. What matters for readers researching their own decision is simply this: the dramatic early appearance after a nose job is temporary and expected, not a preview of the final result.

How rhinoplasty works today
Modern rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose to change its size, profile or tip, or to correct a functional problem such as a deviated septum. Two main approaches are used:
Incisions
- Closed rhinoplasty
- Inside the nostrils only
- Open rhinoplasty
- Inside the nostrils plus a small cut on the columella
Visible scarring
- Closed rhinoplasty
- None
- Open rhinoplasty
- A fine scar, usually barely visible
Typical use
- Closed rhinoplasty
- Smaller corrections
- Open rhinoplasty
- Complex reshaping, revision cases
Anaesthesia
- Closed rhinoplasty
- General
- Open rhinoplasty
- General
Both approaches are followed by a period of visible bruising, swelling and a temporarily altered shape, exactly as Maffashion described — which is why surgeons routinely tell patients not to judge the result in the first days or weeks.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
Rhinoplasty is considered for people unhappy with the size, shape or symmetry of their nose, or for functional problems such as breathing difficulty caused by a deviated septum, once the facial skeleton has finished growing. Preparation usually includes:
- a consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals and assess the nasal structure and skin;
- blood tests and a general health check before general anaesthesia;
- stopping blood-thinning medication and supplements as advised, and not smoking for a period before surgery;
- arranging time away from public appearances, given the visible swelling and bruising in the first weeks — the stage Maffashion chose not to show.
Recovery and the final result
The operation itself takes 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, with a one-day hospital stay. A splint is worn for about a week, and most of the bruising and obvious swelling fades within two to four weeks, though fine swelling can persist much longer. Breathing through the nose usually returns within one to two weeks.
The final shape, once all the remaining swelling has gone down, is judged at around 12–18 months — well after the stage Maffashion described.
How rhinoplasty recovery usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours, one night in hospital.
- Days 1–7A splint protects the nose; bruising and swelling are most visible.
- Weeks 1–2Nasal breathing usually returns; the splint comes off.
- Weeks 2–4Most visible bruising and swelling fade.
- Months 3–6Fine swelling continues to settle; the shape looks closer to final.
- Months 12–18The final result can be judged, once all tissue has stabilised.
