- A man has expressed concern that Zicsaloma's ethnic rhinoplasty surgery might hurt his brand and craft

- He shared those who would be impacted by Zicsaloma's surgery and offered a piece of advice on what he could do
An X user, @Babyboiyoms, has expressed worry that Zicsaloma's facial surgery might negatively affect his skits and brand.
The man, a creative director, stated this on X (formerly Twitter) while reacting to the skit maker's announcement of undergoing a rhinoplasty surgery.
@Babyboiyoms wondered if Zicsaloma has not scored an own goal with his recent surgery move, adding that a comedian' face is as iconic as their jokes and that a change could hurt one's brand.

He added that the old nose had been one of Zicsaloma's stand-out features that made his comedy unique.
Making reference to English actor and comedian Rowan Atkinson, the man worried Zicsaloma's audience might not see him in the same way again.
He, however, noted that the reconstruction of his nose could offer Zicsaloma an opportunity to reinvent himself and prove humour is not skin-deep. The man wrote:
"Do you think Zicsaloma might have just sh0t himself in the foot as a comedian?
"A comedian's face is just as iconic as their jokes, and a drastic change such as a nose job or facial reconstructive surgery can have a major impact on their brand. Comedians like Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) built their entire persona around expressive facial features, where every twitch and contortion adds to the humor. Similarly, Zic has used his vibrating nose and exaggerated expressions to make his comedy unique.
"This change could disrupt his connection with the audience, much like how a different looking Mr. Bean wouldn’t feel the same. However, if he leans into the change and makes it part of his act or persona, it could also be an opportunity to reinvent his comedy, proving that humor isn’t just skin-deep.
"Is this going to be a flop for his career, or are we about to witness his greatest tour de force?"
