NeNe Leakes has caused a whirlwind in the media after she finally confessed to getting a nose job. But her reason why is pretty surprising too.

Leakes stopped by Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live earlier this week and dished on going under the knife with host Andy Cohen and actress Vivica A. Foxx.

While Leakes first rolled her eyes at the question of her possibly getting a second nose job, she admitted that she did indeed do it again a few seconds later.

“Yes I got my nose done again,” she said. “It was a real medical reason why I had to get it done. My cartilage was growing in my nose. And the tip of my nose was touching my lip when I smiled…”

She clarified her first nose job and said it wasn’t as deep as many people think. Instead, she only had her “nostrils taken in on the sides.”

“This time I had more of cartilage moved around in my nose.”

She also set the record straight and said Dr. White did not do the nose job. She also read her critics who have something negative to say about how it looks so far.

“It’s only day 13,” she revealed. “I’m very swollen and all those things. I always keep it very, very real so you can ask me anything. I would never do my nose just for the purpose of doing my nose.”

When Cohen questioned her about the first nose job she said, “I didn’t love my nose. I wanted to do my nose to make it more beautiful for myself.”
