Botched by Nature patient born FIVE MONTHS premature wants help with wonky nostrils caused by the hospital tubes that kept her alive as a baby
A 'MEDICAL miracle' woman who was born FIVE MONTHS early asked doctors to help fix her nostrils, which were left misshapen by the treatment she had as a baby.
Devasha appeared on TV show Botched by Nature to ask doctors Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow for help.
As she was so premature when she was born, Devasha needed tubes put in her nose.
When they were taken out they left her with uneven nostrils, with her right one much bigger than the other.
"It didn’t become an issue until I started going to school," she explained.
"That’s when the kids started to see I was different or not like them.
"That’s when the teasing or the bullying would start.
"It got to a point where I didn’t want to be seen, so I would take my lunch and eat in the girls’ bathroom stall.
"I didn’t really speak unless people spoke to me first. I didn’t really go to parties. I didn’t really have a big group of friends."

Now 26, Devasha hoped the doctors could make her nose look "80%" better.
Paul planned to use cartilage from her left nostril and ear to help change the shape of her right nostril and leave her nose looking more symmetrical.
A graft was needed to lower the tip of the nose too, which would help pull down the right nostril.
The operation went completely as planned, and Devasha was delighted with the result.
She felt like a "brand new" person afterwards, and she was even confident enough to get on stage and read some of her own poetry.
Devasha is the latest patient to share her story on the show, following Taylor who needed help after one of her boobs never developed.
