The nose is a vital organ that keeps us alive, but it’s also the most defining feature of our face. Given how it can distinctly characterize our appearance, it has always held an esteemed significance in cosmetic surgery and is probably one of the most modified facial organs.
There is a range of rhinoplasty surgeries – cosmetic surgical procedures – that address an array of aesthetic concerns by altering the nose’s length, projection, and width. While some celebrities opt for a nose surgery that dramatically alters their appearance, others opt for a minor procedure that simply accentuates their physical charm. Interestingly some celebrities, who are renowned for their natural good looks, have had subtle work to enhance this central facial feature. And there’s no harm in that, as long as they’re satisfied with the results!
That said, it’s also worthwhile to note that rhinoplasty surgeries are not always motivated by cosmetic reasons. For instance, a deviated septum can make it difficult for an individual to breathe. This creates the need for surgical correction to allow the person to enjoy a normal life, free of health complications. So, besides vanity concerns, rhinoplasty can correct several health challenges.
Which famous people have had nose jobs? You’ll be surprised to see some of the names on this list! Read on.
The Friends star who became popular when she appeared on the sitcom, was an instant hit with fans all over the world, owing to her fresh-faced charm and gorgeous hair that even sparked a style trend. However, it’s a little known fact that she underwent a corrective nose procedure. In fact, she has admitted to getting surgery to correct a deviated septum. But there’s no denying the fact that it also helped narrow her nose, enhancing its shape, which further elevated her appearance. That said, Jenifer Aniston is no doubt a star who has oodles of charm and that hasn’t changed even in her fifties.
Kim Kardashian, who is well known for her fuller lips and curves, is known to have undergone several plastic surgeries. But the fact that hasn’t received as much media attention and scrutiny as her personal life is that the glamorous celebrity has also had her nose cosmetically modeled. It’s safe to say that she is one of the most famous people who’ve had a nose job. Her rhinoplasty procedure is considered successful as it has narrowed her nose, further boosting her immense physical appeal.
Jennifer Garner, with her long limbs, perfect figure, and pretty face is the epitome of beauty. Her nose needed correction, with the tip of her nose extending low or close to her lips. Her surgery was subtle and hence successful in that it raised the tip of her nose and has done wonders for her elegant look.
Blake Lively is another noteworthy example of famous people who’ve had nose jobs. Known for portraying “it’ girl Serena van der Woodsen in the Gossip Girl television series, she perfectly fit the role. Her never-ending legs, hourglass figure, and blonde hair helped her play the part convincingly. Although the actress has never admitted to getting a nose job, the photos from her early days in the profession are quite self-explanatory. One of the many examples of successful surgeries in Hollywood, her rhinoplasty shows how transforming a thick nose into a sleeker, thinner version is easy, with the help of a skilled plastic surgeon.
Ashley Tisdale is one of the few stars who has admitted going under the knife. However her nose job was solely for health reasons. She suffered from a deviated septum on the right side of her nose, which caused breathing trouble. It seems that the older she got, the worse it became. So it was essential to opt for surgery to live a healthy life.
Whether for health or vanity reasons, one of the many wonders of advanced medical science is that rhinoplasty has helped many individuals overcome their health issues as well as transform their appearance, if need be. However, unfortunately, for Kathy Griffin, her rhinoplasty didn’t give her the expected result. She stated in an interview that she underwent nose surgery because her nose was big but somehow even after the procedure, she thinks it has remained big or exactly the same.
Vicki Gunvalson is another rare example of actresses who have admitted to getting cosmetic surgery. Apart from cheek fillers, she has also had nose surgery – a move she said she really needed since people mocked her nose. It worked beautifully too, enhancing her appearance, which in turn elevated her self-esteem.
Tyra Banks is another prime example of famous people who’ve had nose jobs. She has not only admitted to getting nose surgery but has also expressed a need for people to stop judging others for opting for cosmetic transformations. Kudos to the supermodel for saying it as it is!
The Australian Hollywood star is widely known for her beauty and it’s an accolade that is well-deserved. But did you know that she had a slightly fuller nose with a rounded tip? Her nose job helped her achieve a slenderer nose, but she looked absolutely stunning even before the procedure. Needless to say, she looks great even as she is approaching her mid-fifties.
Inarguably Angelina Jolie is one of the most famous people who’ve had nose jobs. Her signature pout draws instant attention, so it’s not the least bit surprising that her nose surgery hasn’t garnered much media speculation. Pictures from her early years show that she had a bulbous nose, with a thicker bridge, which her cosmetic nose surgery wonderfully rectified. That said, it’s important to note that, with or without surgery, she’s always had a striking appearance.
Are you planning to opt for rhinoplasty surgery? Whether it is reconstructive (for changing the form and function of the nose) or cosmetic surgery (purely for cosmetic reasons), it’s important to choose a skilled and qualified surgeon to reduce complications like bleeding and infection, which although rare, are not unheard of.
