Nadia Bartel stepped out of her parents’ home in Melbourne on Monday, still sporting a bandage across her face after undergoing nose surgery last week.

She carried a designer handbag on one arm, and also toted a plastic shopping bag, while trying her best to keep a low profile.

The former WAG was accompanied by her mother, who trailed behind her.

After stepping outside, Nadia walked over to her car, before climbing into the driver’s seat.

The fashion designer underwent an operation at a private hospital in Melbourne last week.

The exact nature of the procedure is unclear, and she may have had a medical operation to correct an issue with her sinuses. 

Guided by her mother, Nadia was photographed exiting the hospital on Thursday morning.
