‘SNL’ Star Chris Redd Undergoing Surgery After Attack

Chris Redd will go into the last of healing after his harsh attack in New York City … and this one will need him to go under the knife.

Sources near to the ‘SNL’ star inform TMZ … Chris is set up to go through surgery Tuesday in the Big Apple to complete the task of completely fixing his damaged nose. Now that it’s been a couple weeks given that the preliminary injury — and the swelling’s decreased — our sources state a physician will have a clear view to determine how to repair it.

We’re informed the treatment will include breaking Chris’s nose back into the proper location … and after that letting everything recover in hopes the structure go back to its initial kind. There’s a great deal of damage … keep in mind, among the bones in Chris’ face was broken into 3 pieces.

Our sources state he’ll be under basic anesthesia for about 2-3 hours, and a cosmetic surgeon who focuses on this sort of thing will be managing the operation. While it may sound cosmetic, we’re informed Chris isn’t intending to alter anything about his look.

Remember, this all begun after a guy punched Chris in the face with brass knuckles in an unsuccessful effort to take his chain. It left the comic in bad shape, with stitches in location as a short-term repair. No arrests have actually been made and police officers are still searching for the attacker.
