A: Jennifer Aniston's Nose

Richard W. Fleming, MD

It is a starting point to discuss how your nose can be improved. After evaluating the existing nose, the procedure should be... more

A: Your nose might be better that Jennifer Aniston's!

Stella Desyatnikova, MD

 You can certainly ask for her nose, but why would you? 1. Her nose shape is far from ideal. 2. Her nose is pretty good on her face, but it might be totally wrong for yours, even if you could get it. 3. You cannot predict exactly what your nose will look like after that surgery. You can get a pretty good... more

A: Computer Imaging is the best tool for you to see what you'll look like after Rhinoplasty Surgery.

William B. Rosenblatt, MD

We need to sculpt what you have and we can not always give you what you want. You need to have reasonable expectations and it is best if you look like an improved you not someone else.

A: It is very helpful to a surgeon in that you are communicating what you like.

Toby G. Mayer, MD

If you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon he will explain that it gives him a starting point. However, that nose on your face may be inappropriate and not "fit your face". Look for a surgeon whoose overall rhinoplasties you like and are natural appearing. 

A: You have a say in your rhinoplasty result.
