Long before the rest of us, Conrado Ramos Estrada had become accustomed to wearing face masks.
The 57-year-old painter and construction worker avoided eating and breathing due to his increasingly enormous nose, but he opted to conceal it nonetheless.
“They would stare at me,” the Portchester, NY resident told The Post. “Children would ask their mothers what happened to me — and I would get around it by using a face mask all the time.”
His enormous snout could be more than just an eyesore; it could prevent him from breathing, make him snore, and generally be an annoyance. “It had reached my lips and whenever I took a bite when I ate that would touch the spoon,” he said.
Now that Estrada’s nose and mask are out of the way, his loved ones can see his genuine smile.
