Do cosmetic surgery patients really come in asking to look like movie stars?

Many rhinoplasty (nose job) patients ask whether or not surgery can give them a nose like a particular celebrity or movie star. In some cases, it is possible to give patients the features of a particular person's nose - such as a defined bridge or sculpted tip.

However, it is important to realize that there is not a "one-size-fits-all" nose. For the nose to appear natural and attractive, it must harmonize and be in balance with the patient's other facial features. A nose that is attractive on one person won't necessarily look good on another person.
