Texas Woman Sniffed So Much Cocaine She Sniffed Her Nose Off!

"For a Laredo woman, she lost her nose. Amira Dominguez Guerra, 47, said after 25 years of cocaine addiction, she is now left permanently scarred. "I was using quite a bit of cocaine. To the point where little by little it was deteriorating my septum, and to the point where my nose was completely flat," said Guerra. Guerra said because of her habit, her family relationships crumbled. Today, she looks forward to getting her nose rebuilt with the help of plastic surgeon Michael Baumholtz. "Her original nose has no structure to it anymore. It's floppy scarred skin both from the inside out," said Baumholtz. Photographs were taken of Guerra when she initially started seeing Baumholtz in November. She came to him with a hole in her face. Since then, he's been prepping her for a transforming surgery. In the next six to eight weeks, he will replace her missing septum by using part of her rib and skin from her forehead. "At best, when we finish, she will have a very bad nose job, and I hope we can get better than that, but part of my job is to set realistic expectations as to where we're going to go," said Dr. Baumholtz. "He gave me that glimpse of hope that something could be done," said Guerra. Guerra calls Baumholtz her angel. She looks forward to feeling beautiful on the outside again. "I did a lot of destruction, but today I'm very happy and very grateful to wake up sober," said Guerra. "She's back. She's with family. She is trying to work. She really is trying to get her life back on track, and I'm fortunate to be part of that process," said Baumholtz." - Ksat | Posted by Thrillz
