The major difference between a celebrity undergoing a rhinoplasty and an ordinary person undergoing the same procedure is that most people who have a rhinoplasty are willing to admit that they have had one whereas most celebrities are reluctant to do so unless confronted or the evidence is obvious.
The success rate for rhinoplasty is 85 to 90%, that is, not requiring some sort of minor revision. Even celebrity noses have about the same rate of revision as the general population. No one surgeon can guarantee the healing process of an individual and even in the best of hands patients can heal with less than ideal results.
Furthermore, if you look at celebrities closely, you will see that their noses are not always perfect and they often have little bumps, irregularities or asymmetries present but make up artists can do an excellent job hiding those areas on film and TV.
So in summary, it is always best to do your homework and make sure your surgeon has done a lot of rhinoplasties. Typically, facial plastic surgeons perform the greatest number of them but there are some general plastic and cosmetic surgeons who also have that added training.
