Ariana Grande's brother, Frankie Grande, is showing off the results of a recent plastic surgery procedure on his nose.
Frankie Grande took his new nose for a night on the town. The Big Brother alum stepped out on Tuesday in New York City along with his sister, Ariana Grande, to attend a one-night-only concert presentation of Ethan Slater's Edge of the World.
The Grande siblings were photographed outside CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater, where Slater was performing in the concept project that he co-wrote with Nick Blaemire.
Frankie also took to his Instagram Story to offer his congratulations to his sister's boyfriend.
"An absolutely stunning night in the theatre," he wrote, tagging Slater. "So proud of you."
Earlier in the day, Frankie showed off his new look as the healing process continues following a recent plastic surgery procedure.
"I am gagging over my nose right now," he declared on his Instagram Story. "It's still so swollen."
Frankie admitted that he was still having trouble moving parts of his face due to swelling and numbness, but that he was pleased with the progress so far.
"I'm going out now," he teased. "No tape on my nose! Let's go see what the world is doing."
He added, "I'm obsessed... It's so cute."
Frankie said that his plastic surgeon was allowing him to take a brief break from taping his nose for his night out. Over on his Instagram grid, he further explained why he continues to tape his nose weeks after undergoing rhinoplasty.
"I was today years old when I found out that you have to tape your nose after you get a nose job so the skin shrinks to the new structure that was built by the doctor. Werk 😘" he captioned a photo. In the next slide, he shared a screenshot of a text exchange in which someone asked him whether he had gotten the surgery to help with his breathing.
"No pure vanity hunny!" Frankie quipped back.
Frankie also shared a before and after video of his nose, acknowledging that it's "still swollen."
Frankie first announced that he had gone under the knife with a jarring Instagram selfie shared earlier this month. In the pic, the 41-year-old is completely bruised and bandaged across his face, sporting two black eyes and an ear guard.
"New nose. Who dis? 👃🏼," he captioned his post, tagging New York-based facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Romeo III.
Ariana was quick to chime in with a show of support in the comments of his post. "Perfect in all ways, always !!!!🧸🌱," the 31-year-old pop star wrote.
Despite the caption explaining his plastic surgery procedure, Frankie's photo did initially worry some of his followers.
"Frankie I was worried you got into a fight for a few seconds 😭 feel better!" commented Big Brother alum Joseph Abdin. Big Brother winner Taylor Hale added, "You just had me worried omg."
Also commenting on his looks was Big Brother alum Britney Haynes, writing, "You look great sweetie," and Big Brother alum Derek Frazier, penning, "PERFECTION 😍."
Days later, the performer posted a series of selfies from his trip to New York City. This time, he wore a full face of makeup in most photos to conceal any bruising. But, his new nose was still taped up.
"Took my new nose out to see New York. She loved The Wiz," he wrote.
He also took to his Instagram Story to offer a video update on the healing process.
"Today I got the cast off my nose and it just like blew up like a balloon, which apparently is supposed to happen," he shared. "But it freaked me out a teeny bit. But still very excited."
Frankie, who has previously shared that he battled an addiction with alcohol and pills, has been candid about his journey to self-love. In December 2019, he spoke to ET about having good mental health practices.
"Every day I wake up. I pray, I meditate," he shared at the time. "I have a core group of people and friends that I send gratitude lists every single morning, just to start myself off the day in a place of love and gratitude and to remind myself that my primary purpose on this planet is to just be loving, to make other people smile and to go through the whole day in a place of giving."
Frankie, who is now married to Hale Leon, continued by expressing how his family are the people he turns to when he needs help.
"They were the ones who really just put me on the road of recovery -- like literally, like physically," he detailed. "They were like, 'This is where you're going.' And I did. And then I think we've all grown together. I think as my journey of self-love has begun, it is also reflected in my sister, reflected in mother, reflected in my grandmother. I feel like we all just kind of started growing up all together because we had to."
"When any dynamic, any relationship, when one person changes, the other person has to change," he continued. "It's not like anything can stay the same once somebody makes such a drastic shift to become sober. I think we all grew together. And we all help each other, all the time."
