Dina Manzo is getting real about the “few tweaks” she made to her nose.
The “Real Housewives Of New Jersey” alum, 47, took to Instagram on Monday to show of her new look and explain why she decided to go under the knife.
“Ok I’m FLOODED with messages over this photo,” she began. “THANK YOU for the very very sweet messages saying I look great etc. I appreciate that more than you know.

She continued, “Two years ago I got my nose fixed. Since I was going under anesthesia anyway (which I totally despise) I had Dr. Ghavami make a few tweaks so I didn’t have to go the filler route. I hate fillers plus they’re so damn expensive… Dr. Ghavami likes to say ‘keep em guessing’ so I’ll leave it at that.”
And while Manzo has had her new nose for over a year, it took some time to get used to it.
“I had a really hard time adjusting to my new nose especially the first year. Although my Dr is amazing at what he does, it did change my overall look. I had a prominent Italian rounded nose and now I had this perfectly proportioned petite nose. It’s a big adjustment especially when you live with the same face for 45 yrs,” she said. “But now that most of the swelling is gone. (I swell easily, to this day if I eat dairy or too much salt my whole upper face swells a bit) I’ve grown to really like the new me. A smaller nose does make me look much younger and my ‘tweaks’ make me look refreshed. Make no mistake, I’ve always looked younger than I was thanks to good genes and lots of water 
Manzo starred as a housewife on “RHONJ” for the first two seasons before returning for season six. She now regularly appears as a “friend”.
