Clavicular, a name synonymous with the controversial “looksmaxxing” movement, is on a mission to demonstrate that seeing truly is believing.
The influencer, whose real name is Braden Peter, has stirred up chatter once more by choosing to livestream his rhinoplasty for his intrigued fans and loyal followers.
On Wednesday, June 3, the 20-year-old made his way to the practice of Dr. Michael Salzhauer, popularly known as Dr. Miami, to undergo the nose surgery. The procedure itself took about two hours, but viewers tuned in on the Kick platform, where the stream ran just shy of five hours.
Before the video commenced, Kick displayed a cautionary note: “This content is for mature viewers only. You must be 18 or older to view it.” So far, the video has garnered over 30,000 views and sparked extensive discussion.
“There was absolutely no need for a nose job — instead he needs to invest in a good psychologist,” one user wrote via X after seeing a clip. Another follower wrote, “Creators are turning life events into content in ways nobody imagined.”
After developing a following on social media, Peters has been introducing the term “looksmaxxing” to pop culture.
According to the BBC, the goal of looksmaxxing is to become the most attractive person you can be according to a set of prescribed criteria. Particular importance is given to jawlines, eyes and physique. (For reference, Peters previously stated that Matt Bomer is one of the most handsome male celebrities in Hollywood today.)
When it comes to politics, Clavicular previously said he would rather vote for Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom over Republican Vice President JD Vance because he preferred Newsom’s looks. (Peters has since shared his new “no more politics” policy with fans.)
Although he has found success — including opportunities to walk in New York Fashion Week and a reported $100,000 a month paycheck from his preferred streaming service, Kick — Peters has also found himself in the center of several controversies.
In January 2026, Clavicular was spotted partying at a Miami nightclub with white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes and controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who is accused multiple times over of rape, sexual assault and abuse. (Tate has denied all allegations.)
Two months later, Peters was sentenced to six months of probation after shooting an already-dead alligator in the Florida Everglades during a livestream.
He also walked off an interview for 60 Minutes Australia in April 2026 after a journalist asked whether he identifies as an incel.
“Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category,” he replied. “So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”
