Millie Mackintosh Undergoes Surgery Following Accidental Nose Fracture
Millie Mackintosh, the former star of Made In Chelsea, recently shared some distressing news with her followers: she underwent surgery after suffering a broken nose due to an unfortunate home accident. The 35-year-old reality star revealed that her five-year-old daughter, Sienna, accidentally caused the injury.
In her heartfelt social media update, Millie explained how the incident unfolded. She described a moment when Sienna, in the midst of a tantrum, threw her head back while Millie was holding her, resulting in the back of her skull colliding with Millie’s nose. “I heard a crack, went to get it checked, and ended up needing surgery at the end of last week to correct the fracture,” she wrote.
Millie posted several photos documenting her experience, including a selfie from her hospital bed where she is seen smiling despite the circumstances. Another image captures her in discomfort, applying a bag of frozen peas to her nose shortly after the injury occurred.
After successfully undergoing surgery, Millie returned home with her nose bandaged and was comforted by her daughter, who was seen curled up next to her during recovery. She candidly shared her ordeal with her followers, stating, “If I’ve been quiet on here recently, there’s a reason why…”
Reflecting on the incident, Millie expressed the challenges she has faced as a parent. “Sienna has been having huge meltdowns and violent tantrums lately,” she noted. “We’ve been setting new boundaries at home and supporting her through this adjustment, which does seem to be helping. I realized I wasn’t being firm enough; she thought she had all the power, and it just wasn’t a healthy dynamic.”
Millie also opened up about her personal challenges, revealing that she recently experienced a panic attack for the first time in months. “I felt like I was going to pass out, and for about three hours, it kept coming in waves,” she shared. However, she noted the progress she has made in managing her anxiety: “A year ago, this would have ruined my whole day, maybe even my week. I can see how far I’ve come.”
The reality star expressed some concerns regarding her social media presence, asking her followers for feedback on what content they would like to see more of on her page. “Lately, I’ve been worrying about my social media — is anyone seeing this? Is it good enough? Lots of comparison and self-doubt creeping in,” she admitted.
Millie humorously described the current phase of her daughter’s development, stating: “Aurelia is in a real tricky phase. Everything’s wrong — clothes are too itchy, the bath is too bubbly, pasta is too wobbly, her smoothie isn’t pink enough… You get the picture.” She concluded her update by mentioning that she often ends up in Sienna’s bed to help her get back to sleep, enjoying the cuddles while also missing a good night’s rest.
Millie has shown great resilience in navigating both her personal challenges and motherhood, and her candid updates continue to resonate with her followers.
