Botched Season 1: How Is Jenn Farinet Doing After Surviving the “Worst” Deviated Septum?
Of all the people we’ve seen so far on Botched, Jenn Farinet is one of the patients who’s really pulled our heartstrings. The July 6 episode followed her story as she explained the harsh bullying she endured growing up and the two unsuccessful nose jobs she underwent because it.
Dr. Nassif said she had one of the “worst deviated septums” he’s ever seen, yet that didn’t stop him from taking on the case. When Jenn finally got to see her revised nose for the first time, she couldn’t hold back her tears (and neither could Dr. Nassif!). Her newfound confidence was apparent at her unveiling, where she announced how happy she was with the results, “It would almost be rude not to let people see how awesome this is!”
RealSelf recently caught up with the Botched star to find out how she’s doing following her third (and hopefully final!) rhinoplasty, as well as get some juicy scoop from behind the scenes. READ MORE
