Jessica Iskandar underwent her second rhinoplasty in Korea to correct a breathing obstruction caused by a shifted nasal bone, her husband Vincent Verhaag said on Friday (13/11/2026).
The procedure follows an initial operation performed about three years ago that hot.detik.com reported was successful but failed to fully achieve the desired outcome. Wolipop noted the actress shared photos from Korea showing her face marked with surgical planning lines, swollen red eyes, and a bandaged nose.
Vincent explained the decision during an appearance at Studio Trans 7 in Warung Buncit, Jakarta Selatan, stating that the primary motive extended beyond aesthetics to address a functional breathing issue. SuaraGarut.ID reported that the second operation required an extended preparation period because Jessica had to wait until she finished breastfeeding their child, Hagia, before scheduling the medical procedure.
The need for a corrective operation arose partly from an incident shortly after the first surgery when Jessica returned from Korea and hugged their young son, Don, according to Vincent.
Wolipop previously said that Jessica underwent an initial nose procedure in April 2023 to correct a crooked nasal bone. Vincent detailed how the embrace caused an accidental collision that made Jessica’s nose bleed when the child was still a baby unable to control his movements.
The impact shifted the upper part of Jessica’s nasal bone slightly to the right, placing pressure on one of her air passages, Vincent told hot.detik.com. Disway reported that Jessica also posted a video from South Korea showing her nose wrapped in surgical tape while she walked outdoors and tried local food with companions.
“Kan selain mempercantik, tapi itu juga ada kendala dari pernapasan. Dan kalian juga bisa lihat dari ini kan operasi kedua. Yang pertama mungkin boleh dibilang berhasil tapi nggak 100%,” Verhaag said.
said Vincent Verhaag, Vincent Verhaag, husband of Jessica Iskandar.
Vincent added that the upper bone appears straight now, relieving the pressure on the nasal passage. He expressed amusement over the post-surgery appearance, admitting to hot.detik.com that he preferred staying home to look at his wife after her bandages were removed rather than hanging out with friends.
“Iyalah. Sampai nggak mau nongkrong sama teman-teman lagi, maunya ngelihatin terus,” Vincent said.

Vincent Verhaag said that the procedure was performed to resolve a breathing obstruction caused by a shifted nasal bone, alongside aesthetic improvements. The first surgery performed three years prior did not fully achieve the desired results.
Vincent explained that the upper bone shifted slightly to the right after Jessica experienced an accidental collision with her young son, Don, shortly after returning from her first trip to Korea.
Vincent discussed the procedure during a media appearance on Friday (13/11/2026), following video updates that Jessica posted from South Korea.
