In his program “Onda Beto” on the Bondi streaming channel, Beto Casella spoke about the uncomfortable, annoying and also risky health problem that afflicted him: the appearance of a pimple in the middle of his nose that was not something innocent as it seemed to be at first but a carcinoma. which required surgery and a long and tedious recovery that included a complex suturing process and several subsequent complications.
Luckily, Beto has recovered and is working at full capacity. In addition to streaming, he also hosts on the radio and continues to host the already iconic and legendary Bendita TV, the longest-running program today along with Intrusos (which he hosted when it was called “Los Intocables del espectáculo”), Telenoche and Bailando in the few months it has been on the air. Although in all of them he is “relaxed and fun” as usual, in the “stream” he is a little more relaxed still, and allows himself to tell things like that.
“At one point I got a pimple on my nose. Nothing, it could happen to anyone. But anyway, since it wouldn’t go away, I decided to go to my dermatologists, the Galimberti brothers. At first they told me “let’s not do anything, let’s see how it develops.” And so some time went by, a few months, but one day I touched it and it bled, so I decided to go back to the doctor. One of them told me “no, blackie, this has to be operated on,” it has to be removed, I don’t know if the word was “operate”he recalled at first.
“I asked him ‘what’s that like’ and he said ‘well, when you have some time between programs… come and we’ll do it’. So I went, I lay down on the stretcher and they put that gown on you where you’re completely covered and only your face is uncovered. The process is that they dig into you and take out everything bad that you have. And since there’s no CT scan that can detect it beforehand, how much there is is seen at that moment, when they open you up and dig. It could be something minimal or a lot, you don’t know until they do it. The procedure is to open, take out and at the same time but in another place to analyze it, they do like a biopsy” he added.
BETO CASELLA’S SHOCKING STORY ABOUT HIS SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM
“I don’t know if I was sedated or what, I don’t remember, but at one point I noticed that they were digging and digging, taking out and taking away. It was a carcinoma, a small cancer, or a little tumor, I think that’s the best definition. They dug so much that I had a hole the size of a small coin. There are photos that the boys blurred because they are impressionable, honestly. Once they finished, well, I was left with that… it looked like a bullet wound in the middle of my face.” Beto continued.
“Then there was another issue, which was the suturing. There is excess skin in other parts of the body and stitching is not that difficult, but there must not be any area with skin that is tighter and more rigid than the nose, so they did something to me that even changed my face, my expression,” he explained.
““It seemed like I was always angry. And then there were complications. At one point they had to reopen and then close again, and at another point some cartilage or muscles had been cut and my lip fell off. It looked like my mouth was crooked, so they had to fill it with Botox,” he added.
“And I was left with a significant scar in the middle of my nose, in the middle of my face. I mean, men, or at least I am, are no longer so concerned about aesthetics. It was a few months. I’m telling you this to be careful: these lesions are generally caused by the sun. By exposure to the sun. The one who gets operated on all the time for this is Hugh Jackman, that extraordinary Hollywood actor.”Beto reported. Come on, the scare is over and there is much more to see and hear from him!
