Responding in the new IG post, Saloma said the procedure was motivated by years of insecurity about his appearance.
He added that he had lost several opportunities in the entertainment industry because of how he looked.
He further explained that the cosmetic surgery made him more confident and ready to take on new opportunities in the industry.
He also encouraged people who can afford the procedure to go ahead if it will help improve their confidence and self-esteem.
Speaking via his verified social media handle, Zicsaloma said: “I decided to undergo nose surgery because I wasn’t comfortable with my appearance. I had lost several job opportunities in the past because of how I looked. If you can afford cosmetic surgery, do it. If it will make you feel better, go for it.”
