Manfred Thierry Mugler Face Surgery; What Happened To His Nose
After many mishaps and accidents, Thierry Mugler underwent several reconstructive surgery on his face. In a 2019 interview with actress Tippi Hedren for Interview magazine, he confessed that he broke his nose crashing a vehicle, had a gym accident that wrecked his face, and had a motorbike accident that severely damaged his leg.
While Mugler admits that modifying his face was first motivated by reconstruction, he later stated that it had evolved into a matter of “pleasure and pleased myself.” He further mentioned that while undergoing anaesthetic to remove a piece of metal from his leg, he opted to get face surgery as well.
