Dear Nikol, I was so touched and inspired, when I watched this video and heard your journey. I’m so proud of you that you took the time to feel and think and trusted yourself to just be you, with or with out makeup. Those can be very difficult internal rules to bend for ourselves. I will be going sometime soon for a 5th surgery to do with breast cancer, and 3/5 of those had to do with reconstruction. I think my own body image has gotten so low! That is why I was so inspired today. Thank you!!

[@sandraguajardo236]

It’s so good to see that your back and that this wasn’t active cancer. Your recovery looks phenomenal and your skin looks amazing.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Sandra!

[@Kim-ri1hg]

Nikol I had a cyst on the side of my neck from puberty. I was so self conscious. I had it cut out by a derm in office at age 30. I waited a long time to have it removed because I keloid scar and did not want that on my visible neck. So happy to say it never grew back and the scar is barely noticeable on my very fair skin. Growths anywhere are scary but for women near our faces or on can be emotional. Very happy to see you recovered well and feel so much better having made the huge difficult decision to have it done. Freedom at last!!! ♥️

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you I am so happy and blessed that I was able to have a talented plastic surgeon cut it out with minimal scaring. Happy to hear you have your cyst behind you also.

[@heididikekingston]

Welcome back! And, due to my infertility treatment history I've experienced the same type of issues. LOTS of fibroids removed and massive, fast growth of some moles- they had to come off. The infertility treatments can be both a blessing (for some) and a curse.

[@pricedesign8805]

So happy for you & your successful surgery

[@michelleaw1325]

Glad everything went well. God had you covered no doubt .. I too this last year have been going out without makeup. I can't tell you the confidence it has given me. I'm now good with or without...same person, but more of a freedom I never felt before. Continued blessing to you !

[@brendaryan306]

OMG that thing was huge. I am so glad you found such a good, knowledgeable doctor.

[@paintlady2268]

Thank you for sharing. So glad you are well. And it is refreshing to see a beauty industry expert embracing her grey hair! Why do people still think women should camouflage their aging process? Men certainly don't and we see them as attractive. It's about time.

[@NikolJohnson]

I am glad you are supportive of my gray hair Brenda! xoxo

[@jeanpowell7072]

I so enjoy listening to you ! I am a new 60 year old and never thought I would be here . I have had a rough year and am still not finished . You make me feel beautiful even though I haven’t fixed up I almost a year . I have ordered most of your cosmetics and I love them , am waiting for some to come in stock

[@lucyshahinian7412]

I am so glad for you for being so comfortable in your skin Nikol. Being yourself is a rarity in our days. God bless you

[@elaineboyd1487]

Nikol, good for you! You look great without makeup. I often do not wear makeup on the weekends and even when I get home from work, will take it off and go out to the store. It is very freeing. I'm happy that your surgery turned out well and that the growth was benign. Thank you for another great video!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Elaine! It's amazing how freeing it is, I never gave myself the opportunity to experience this and I am so happy I did!

[@dindog22]

I stopped wearing makeup maybe 10 years ago and recently I decided to try again with it. I can't stand it. I think it makes my skin look horrible plus I don't really have the time for it. I'm over 50 and I just don't feel like I need it. when I was younger I loved makeup. I don't know if this is self confidence or laziness or just not giving a crap what anybody else thinks. maybe it's all of the above

[@goudagirl6095]

especially during COVID! I'm like, WHO'S GONNA SEE ME?!?

[@janetwhite7786]

dindog22 I felt the same way after a long respite. I looked like a clown. It took a while to get into the swing of it. Just added a thing at a time til i was comfortable with that thing (mascara or liner or whatever). But there is certainly something to be said for being okay with your real self. Hope you have come to a place where you're okay.

[@robinhamilton2392]

So glad you are taking such good care of yourself! That tumor was something else. I would be glad to have it out too. Thanks for sharing your inspirational life with us all. The ripple affect is wider than you will ever know!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Robin xoxo

[@janieromano8649]

So happy your surgery went well! You look fantastic! I missed seeing your beautiful face and upbeat personality!

[@wandaboria2591]

Love your attitude and how you embrace the imperfections in our bodies. Thank you

[@maryannemoll]

Being makeup-free is so liberating. Just don’t forget the sunscreen! Love from the Philippines.

[@MrKongsMom]

You look fantastic! She did an incredible job. I’m so happy this is now over for you.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thanks Love I think she did an incredible job also! Excited to have it behind me and back to filming! xoxo

[@kathleenlyon7692]

So wonderful your surgery went well, what a blessing for you and hubby to have that concern lifted from you. You look fabulous!!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Kathleen it is such a blessing! So happy and so blessed! xoxo

[@krisronchetti9528]

You are educating a lot of us. Thank you so much for such honesty!! You are such a beautiful person. You are healing so good!!!!

[@reneekerner2014]

Funny, I work at home now having worked outside of the house for 40 years. I wouldn't go to the mailbox without makeup. Not any longer and it is really liberating. I must say though, I feel so pretty now when I actually do put on makeup.

[@NikolJohnson]

Renee I feel the same way, I felt extra pretty when I finally put on mascara after two weeks! It was exciting lol! xoxo

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Thanks for sharing this. You are beautiful and especially your heart for others. So happy that you can now put that all behind you. That liberated feeling you described that occurred when you were out and about without makeup is something I often enjoy, now in my 80th year.

[@cyndydavis7978]

I think you are gorgeous! When you totally heal you won’t hardly notice the scar, and even if you do notice it, your right, it needed to go. Scars do not detract from beauty, but ugly personalities do.

[@NikolJohnson]

Well said Cyndy! xoxo

[@tyyneviljakainen5108]

Very good content....from first to the last word! Can't agree more!

[@talaatatalla9714]

This is joyice ; thank God for your safety, and thank you so much for this video, you are beautiful with or without makeup, and you are true , going out your self sometimes is very good and natural ,we learn every day from life experience, may God bless you , give you more and more wisdom and grant you the desire of your heart 🙏🏻

[@patambassadorfortruth3829]

You have such a natural beauty inside and out, Nikol.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Pat

[@carolebuckle7977]

Being mask free is very liberating & thank you for your transparency with everything for other women, take care Nikol 🇬🇧❤️xx

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Carole! I love how liberating it is!

[@lisar915r9]

I'm glad you're OK.

[@kaycenta884]

Hi! I’m new here and fell in love. I like watching and taking advice from someone who obviously knowledgeable. You are more relatable to me at my age, 67. I want to use the products you use and recommend. I want to know that I will be putting stuff on my face that you have researched. I’m so happy I found you! Love your mom, too! Thank you

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Dahlene 😘

[@patriciabeutler9518]

So glad it is over for you. It was rather large for the area. Truthfully I never noticed it before in your videos. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Thanks you for sharing your personal stories. God Bless your journey.

[@annmaria608]

So glad you had the tissue removed and that it was not cancerous. Thanks for the video.

[@stamatina2010]

Welcome back Nikol , good to see you back! You look beautiful 🌹🌻❤️🌸🌼🌺🌷🌺

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Tina so happy to be back!

[@carolefrank2234]

I am so glad I found you on KZbin. You are so REAL and refreshing. Not to mention, such a natural beauty.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Carole 😘

[@doreenaery2722]

I'm glad you came out safely out of this surgery and that the problem was resolved.🌹

[@kerrynihart6648]

Hi , Nikol! I’m so thankful that your cyst was benign. You inspire me more than I could ever say! Praying for your speedy recovery, and thanks for sharing! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@lc2077]

Your are so stunning inside and out. You are an inspiration.

[@sueram2201]

I just watched your video!! Thank God you have it behind you and thanks for sharing it. Very informative

[@elsabepitout5031]

Ok, this is long after the actual op you had, but it is so 'comforting' to hear you say that wearing make-up is not everything. I used to not set foot out my door unless hair done and face made up. Nowadays, I am spending at least one day over the weekend giving my skin a breather. And I don't feel intimidated by the beautifully made up ladies at the store. I am me. Still. With or without make-up. Thank you. And I am glad you were well right after the op.

[@plume1639]

You look beautiful! She really did a fantastic job. Now you don’t have to worry about it anymore. I only wear makeup when I go somewhere special. I choose to go without all other times. It makes wearing makeup that much more fun for me and not such a drag to have to do.

[@pollycravy270]

Nichol you are really beautiful. As a portrait artist, I think you would look so much younger and softer if your eyebrows were more narrow and ended at the inner corners of your eyes. Also they would be more flattering not so dark. These are just tips I have learned over the years.so glad your surgery went well.

[@marieleemcgill5011]

I am happy it was good news. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration 💕💕

[@rosecostanzo341]

It's so important to find a good doctor congrats for your perserverance I think u are correct about what u think and feel u know your body better than anyone. Your doctor looks great and made you feel good about going foward with surgery. I'm glad you found her.i wish you continued good health.

[@marannalatimer2864]

You are a natural beauty..

[@robyn3349]

I am glad all went so well!

[@me21again30]

Brave snd Beautiful! So glad you recovered from this and that it is out! Cheers to you thanks for sharing w us!

[@Cajunkaty]

You’re still beautiful. Thank you telling us about your surgery.

[@patriciamoffitt1058]

Your a natural beauty. I am surprised after watching what they took out that I never noticed you had a growth on your face. Your makeup techniques covered it up. Congratulations and I know your thrilled to have this worry off your shoulders.💜

[@theresagreene7234]

Thank you Nikol! You are so brave and I am so glad to hear that you are doing well ! I began watching you when you were beginning to talk about your growth . Your courage and fearlessness have been so inspiring! You have helped this woman deal with her own future surgery and I thank you so much! God bless and keep you !🌹🦋

[@NikolJohnson]

I am so happy Theresa, I am sending you good vibes and prayers for your upcoming surgery. xoxo

[@jojorey6886]

You look fabulous and I think you're pretty brave. It does give women courage to tackle the things that they struggle with. So, thank you so much for sharing your experiences, you are an inspiration.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you JoJo that is my mission to help inspire women to take control of their beauty and health! xoxo

[@janefuller1737]

Your eyes look beautiful!

[@maryastark8075]

Hello, I am a new subscriber and in the process of trying to catch up. I am a mal practice attorney and your channel came highly recommended. I am over joyed to see how beautifully you are healing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the very personal details of your journey. HUGE HUGS , Marya

[@adrianasusunaga5671]

Congratulations! It’s wonderful how you turned it into a learning positive experience!! Bravo!!

[@nancydijulio6966]

So glad you are OK. You are so brave....thanks for sharing. :)

[@donnasonkinshaw5214]

I am SO happy for you that it's out! I was thinking about you and sending you good energy :) I still need to get the lipoma on my back removed and I will do- I am glad you added the video of actual surgery and I am happy it didn't hurt. also, you look great without makeup:) very inspiring. sending hugs.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Donna, Yes get that lipoma off sooner than later because its adipose tissue that will only get larger. I had one under my arm and I had it removed ASAP. xoxo

[@Rye_Toast]

So glad it went well and thanks for sharing your experience! Isn't it amazing when a doctor listens to you? After years of telling doctors that something's wrong and watching none of them become concerned I finally had a doctor who listened to me. After many tests we discovered that yes, something's wrong and she has referred me to a specialist hospital. I'm still waiting for that appointment but I'm so hopeful that maybe, just maybe, I'll start to feel better soon.

[@NikolJohnson]

Wonderful Jill so happy you were pro-active about your health. Sending prayers and love for your upcoming appointment.

[@debtkansas624]

Good results! No makeup sounds liberating!

[@ladykokob9149]

I am so happy for you and the result of the surgery is very good!!!!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you LadyKOKO me too so happy it's over.

[@sarahlaboyalmodovar7460]

Thanks for sharing your post surgery update. You look amazing (but you always do). I'm glad you are well and that everything turned out good. Much love to you!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Sarah, I was happy to be able to report good news from this surgery! xoxo

[@piaselvaggio8365]

I'm so glad everything turned out well. You do look beautiful Nikol! 👍😍

[@laurenrose2895]

I just discovered your videos so just now heard your surgery story. I think you were very brave to do this especially being in the business you're in, the fear of scars or healing problems being prevalent. Its great to see Dr. Stokes' work, you look like nothing was done. The word ''plastic surgery'' carries the connotation of mere beautification whereas yours was a necessity. Except for the fact that it needed to be done by a plastic surgeon, there was absolutely nothing cosmetic about it. I had my nose done when I was 27, along with necessary sinus surgery I decided to do something to my nose which I'd always hated. I was told to expect two black eyes with the whites being blood red. Unknown to my doctor I'd been taking large amounts of Vitamin C, along with Vitamin E for healing and all my usual vitamins. The C however was in mega doses. I took it before surgery (stopping when I had to before surgery) and as soon as I got the OK, after surgery. Neither of my eyes swelled or went black despite the fact that they had to break my nose. I had two tiny bruises, one on each eye. My doctor didn't believe the C was the reason but I definitely do. Anyway, back to you. Thanks for sharing with us and glad it turned out benign. Oh, on a final note, love your hair. In our family none of the women grey until they're very old so I got tired of waiting. I can't quite copy the look you have so my daughter and I got together and are in the process of turning my hair pure silver. Take care of yourself!

[@isol]

I'm so glad you did it, problems stop to be problems when we look for a solution. I'm happy you are back and I love your hair and your brows.

[@NikolJohnson]

Isol thank you Isol 😘😘😘🖤🌪

[@lisahilton8842]

Beauty comes from within and you are stunning!

[@RoyalReflection]

You look beautiful and healing nicely!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Patty!

[@DCB14u2do]

Every woman should feel comfortable in her skin. She should also enjoy adding some make up to enhance her appearance! I have high regard for your expertise and taste! Your scar is tiny compared to some I have seen, but it's could have been really bad. Glad you did have it taken care of. I have had two procedures done on my nose due to squamous cell cancer and the last one took 8 hrs and a skin Graf that really sticks out. I personally am over the moon to cover it, as much as I can. Thank you for making women powerful!

[@debbiechilds7956]

I’m so glad your surgery was successful!

[@NikolJohnson]

Me too Debbie so thankful.

[@cynthiakonchar2845]

Noticed this happened 6 months ago. Good to know everything came out well for you! You're such a beautiful woman! God bless! 🙏

[@adrianathomas7041]

Thank you for sharing, I also had this things remove from both of my eyelids when I was 19 years old. So thank you for sharing.

[@sharoncarroll8892]

I am happy to hear that the growth was benign . I always worked in the O.R. And I almost never wore makeup ; to me it's always been normal .Since retiring I still don't .

[@NikolJohnson]

Thanks Sharon YES it was a relief to find out that it was benign. xoxo

[@rhondasaraullo5115]

I have just started following you. And you never need to use makeup as you are so beautiful regards Rhonda from Australia

[@donnamerrill3436]

Hi Nikol, Glad to see you got that bump out! Good for you and you should feel good about it. I had one in the same area in my right eye years ago and had it removed, I was told it was a cyst. It has not come back. I was15 and now 62. How time has passed since and it made me remember that's what I went through back then. Glad you did something about it. Mine was the size of a pea. Take care and be healthy. 💓

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Donna for sharing your story! I am so happy you took care of it when you were young! so important.

[@mariastigell7776]

I just want to say hello from Sweden and say that you look beautiful without make-up and also say thank you for your films on youtube. :)

[@Kim-ri1hg]

What heartless people are hitting thumbs down. Love your videos Nikol 💗

[@deborahsauter9794]

You are a lovely and elegant woman! Thank you for your videos.

[@maryking9772]

Oh Nikol you look great.. I am glad you had that taken out before it got bigger.. thank you for sharing your journey with us! Shine On Silver Sister!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Mary I am so happy also that I didn't wait until it was huge!

[@wanda18221]

GREAT results! Thank God.

Thank you Lynn it's so wonderful not to worry about it! xoxo

[@pamelalc63]

Just watched this video for the first time. It is November 5, 2022. I am so blessed by your testimony. Thank you for sharing.

[@donnav6219]

Hi Nikol! Glad to see you back and healthy. I am glad you let us in on your journey. None of us are perfect and there are times when we need/want moral support.

[@NikolJohnson]

Exactly Donna it's nice to be able to share with women and have the support to get through things like this. xoxo

[@donnav6219]

So right Nikol. We gals have to stick together.

[@donnav6219]

Also, you are such a good hearted person Nikol!

This is the first time I’m watching you Nikol. You are very impressive and I’ve subscribed. So happy this was benign and your choice of surgeon was so good. Continued best wishes in your recovery. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and God speed. Co Rachel

[@ginahamlyn2569]

Glad you're much better.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Gina! xoxo

[@sogorgeous2257]

Any growth anywhere but most certainly on your face needs to be removed! This is so key to research your plastic surgeon thoroughly. I have had several elective cosmetic plastic surgeries over the years and all were very successful because I knew who my plastic surgeon was!

[@me21again30]

So glad the growth was benign. Feel so bad that so many mds would not operate. But...silver lining..you got one of the "Best" and had confidence in her. BLESS YOU w/ Health and Happiness!

[@JojoJojo-qm7no]

Thank you Nikol, you are very generous.🌸

[@sarahratliff482]

This is great news that you are on this side of your surgery and healing so well!

[@NikolJohnson]

Yes Sarah so relieved! xoxo

[@Violet-ws4eh]

What an uplifting story. Glad things turned out the way they did and thank you for sharing. I would think there will be more than one woman that will feel encouraged after hearing about your journey. Lorna

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Lorna, I hope that I am helping more than one woman but no matter what it will be worth it if it was just one! xoxo

[@sherrilcarss4641]

Yes you should be make up free your naturally beautiful you don't need make up,🙂 so having a special time when your without make up will enhance the times you do wear it. You were very brave going through the surgery, I'm so glad you've come through it so happy and with a deeper perspective on life and whats important God Bless✝️ 🙏You & Yours kind regards Sherril L.Carss

[@yvonnehernandez4996]

I am very happy everything turned out fabulously for you. You know, you even wear a scar beautifully. All the best and thank you for you videos. I so enjoy them. I am also a member on your fb page

[@deborahjellenburg4939]

So glad your NF surgery went well. You have healed very nicely. I don’t blame you for wanting to get it removed. I always want any kind of growth that I wasn’t born with taken off. I have lots of moles and skin tags and I always take them off. I also let my color grow off my hair. My hair is a beautiful silver white in front and a little lighter than yours in the back. I started wearing color on my hair on my 40th birthday and started going more and more blonde about 4 years ago. Finally at 60 I decided to let it grow off completely. My hair never looked awful thank goodness. I am glad that I decided to go natural. It is so freeing to know I’m not tied down to a beauty salon once every 5 weeks now! I’m really enjoying your video’s. I wish you the best as you finish healing. You look great!

[@1sissaree]

Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us! We love you and appreciate you! Get well soon! ❤️

[@lorifromedmonton4212]

You have inner beauty as well! Great video.😊❤️

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Lori xoxo

[@TampaTodayRealEstate]

Thank you for your thoughts. Recently I had cataract surgery and have felt so strange walking around with no eye makeup. I am having a mascara withdrawal. HA HA Have followed your methods and tutorials to tone down my eye makeup and look more natural. Purchased some of your products and I am very happy. Thank you again, and stay well.

[@WhitleyFamily1]

I am so glad you had this procedure and are doing well. Besides wearing my hair naturally gray, I don’t wear makeup. I cleanse and moisturize everyday. I was born legally blind in my left eye and can’t see to put eye makeup on so I don’t. I do wear tinted chapstick.

[@laurenrose2895]

Rebecca: I would love to have enough gray hair to wear it naturally but at 65 I only have two patches, one at each temple, of pure silver. My daughter and I tried to put highlights in to color silver, but got some bad advice and that failed. So we're bleaching my whole head and coloring it silver. I too am blind in one eye from detached retina and I've learned to do my eye makeup, even false lashes. But every woman should do what she's comfortable with.

[@mamacon5]

Am just watching this and am so glad this is well behind you! I have to say, the first thing I’ve always done before going out in the morning was put on makeup. Through the pandemic it has been a new awakening for me, since I was wearing a mask out all the time. A little eye makeup did the trick through mask wearing the last year and a half, and off I’d go!

[@mariaalex3956]

Thanks God you have this NF removed, otherwise you could have ended up with a big problem. You heal very nicely. Thank you for sharing and fast recovery ❤

[@NikolJohnson]

I know right Maria!!!! Crazy!

[@lose999]

What an amazing result! That was one ugly, huge growth! So glad everything went well and this is behind you. You are a beautiful soul, inside and out; and look fantastic w/o makeup. I find I need less makeup now that my silvers frame my face. So glad you're back. Looking forward to more videos.💕🙏

[@olgatolka7178]

Good for you! Well done searching for a solution!
