Is a celebrity nose job going to be better because they're famous and can afford perfection?

Everyone is a celebrity for Rhinoplasty

The celebrities that have seen the spot light have had good and bad nose work done. In my practice I give everyone the same focus and attention they deserve. We have all seen bad results and some really good ones. Sometimes it is simply a miscommunication between the patient and surgeon about what the goals are and how realistic the outcomes can be. Some doctors may give in to outrageous celebrity requests and not recognize the pressures and influence of their careers on decisions they... more

Rhinoplasty result shouldn't depend on celebrity status

That is a terrific question. It is true that a majority of movie and television personalities undergo cosmetic surgery at one time or another. There is a very good reason for this. Theirs is an industry that places the ultimate premium on the appearance of beauty and youth and, so, oftentimes a celebrity's 'marketability' or appropriateness for particular types of roles may depend on achieving or maintaining a certain look. Professional reasons aside, most celebrities are just like you and... more

Celebrity rhinoplasty

Celebrities are getting rhinoplasties (or nose jobs) that do not differ a tremendous amount from the types of rhinoplasties being done on everyday people like you and me. The only reason you are hearing about it is because the person getting it (Ashley Tisdale, Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, etc) are in the limelight and empirically have well known, beautiful faces. It is important to remember to do your research on your plastic surgeon or otolarygologist, and go to a doctor... more

Celebrity Rhinoplasty

Hi, Absolutely not...just look at Michael Jackdon's nose or Lil Kim's. This a common misconception about rhinoplasty. A plastic surgeons skill is NOT related to celebrity status. This only has to do with the amount of money the plastic surgeon devotes to Public Relations. Good public relations can get you on the best TV shows and in the best magazines. Its another form of advertising and has nothing to do with skill. The general public associates a celebrity plastic surgeon with the... more

Celebrities are people too!!

Celebrity rhinoplasty is a hot topic these days. The fans of these superstars are so used to the look of their idols that alterations can cause a lot of fan disappointment. The reality is that a rhinoplasty has no more chance of success on a celebrity's face than yours. They certainly can afford the expensive L.A. and Manhattan surgeons but that is no guarantee that their results will be perfect. Many of the so-called celebrity surgeons have great PR machines but really only average skill... more

Celebrity rhinoplasty results can be more dramatic than anticipated

Recently, Ashley Tisdale, another celebrity underwent rhinoplasty, reportedly for a deviated septum and emerged a few weeks later to an onslaught of media critics and blogs questioning why she had messed with the characteristic that some believe made her special. Reportedly some of her youngest fans could no longer recognize her. And it seems in Hollywood, where looks make or break careers, while almost everyone has had some plastic surgery, we are to believe that it is unheard of for an... more

Doc, you didn't operate on Michael Jackson; did you?

"Rhinoplasty is the most difficult of all facial cosmetic procedures" has been said by the greatest and most revered nasal surgeons (M.Eugene Tardy among them). Rhinoplastic surgeons should be artistic perfectionists for each patient that they have the privilege to operate upon. Even in the hands of the most popular, skilled, and "expensive" surgeons, results cannot be guaranteed. If you are "famous and could afford perfection" it doesn't follow that your nose... more

Celebrity nose jobs

We have been reviewing the celebrity pictures before and after their rhinoplasties in our clinic. While some seem to have had an excellent job, some are less than stellar. Money can't buy you class, and sometimes it cannot buy you a good nose job either! There are some fantastic rhinoplasty surgeons in Beverly Hills, and there are some fantastic rhinoplasty surgeons in other places. The most expensive surgeon is not necessarily the best one. As a patient, you should always do your homework,... more

Celebrity Rhinoplasties and the Surgeons that do them.

Great question. Let me break down the question further into some other related questions: Does a celebrity get a better rhinoplasty result becusae they are a celebrity? No. Does a celebrity get a better rhinoplasty result becuase they have more money to spend and can pay MORE to get a good result? No. Any ethical physican would not do a better or worse job becuase of the amount paid. However, there is no doubt that more experienced rhinoplasty... more

Celebrity nose job

This celebrity appeal is achieving its intended goals.  The whole purpose of celebrity status is that they serve as marketing machines.  What is most important is your chosen physician.  When choosing one, a personal referral is your best referral.  After all, Mickey Rourke, Joan Rivers, Priscilla Presley, and the late Michael Jackson were all recipients of "celebrity plastic surgery."  Just like Proactive, the most marketed products are just... more

Celebrities benefit from their image professionals

As you can tell from all the answers thus far, you get the same attention to detail that a celebrity might seem to get. Good physicians treat all their patients like they are the only one that matters. What I think set's apart patients perception of celebrity surgery results is the additional perks that celebrity commands. If time and money become secondary considerations, then we all could have professional make up artists, hair stylists, personal trainers, and image consultants. These... more

Celebrity plastic surgery

There are examples of celebrities who have had wonderful plastic surgery. Most of the celebrities who have had subtle artistic work are never in the news because their results were subtle, their surgeries were never leaked to the press; they appear to continue to defy age. You will never hear those plastic surgeons' names because they quietly perform their work and respect patient confidentiality by not leaking details of their patients' surgeries to the press. Celebrities refer their... more

The "Celebrity" is treated with the same respect and professionalism as is expected by any other pt

Dear Anon, I think I understand your question. You may be wondering if a "celebrity" patient may get special treatment that a surgeon would not typically afford to any other less well-known patient? As far as in my practice, and I think for most of my collegues, all of my patients are treated with the same degree, or level of care by both me and my staff. I feel very grateful to have been selected by my patients to be their surgeon- and thus do not distinguish depending on... more

Celebrity nasal surgery

The last time I looked critically at one of my "celebrity patients" and compared them to the rest of us for facial structure and proportion, there was no difference! We all want the same thing from our surgeries, and the surgical skills offered by good quality Plastic Surgeons are consistently good if competant surgeons are consulted. There is no substitute for experience in performing any type of surgery, and oftentimes celebrities will be... more

Celebrities have the same flesh and bone as anyone else

This is a complicated and interesting question. I don't think there is a simple answer but here are some observations to chew on: 1. More celebrities get nose jobs that non-celebrities--we tend to see more exposure about these famous noses and the good results are showcased. Without a doubt, bad results surely happen, but these folks are likely to get revisions to fix the problems. 2. Celebrities are in general already attractive people. ... more

Celebrity rhinoplasty

Celebrities are people, too. My office staff is constantly showing me pictures in US or People of celebrities engaged in "normal activities" like grocery shopping and, when caught by the paparazzi, they look nothing like their touched up images on the red carpet! Many of their staged photos involve stylists, outstanding makeup artists, etc. It is well recognized that what makes them so photogenic is facial symmetry. So, if you are impressed with the outcome of their cosmetic surgery,... more

Perfection in rhinoplasty is not a matter of money

That's right. There is no amount of money anyone can spend to obtain a "perfect" rhinoplasty outcome, because: There is no way to predict outcome 100% of the time. Some revisions will be needed around 15% of the cases, therefore statistically there is no way to pay a certain amount of money and guaranteeing no revisions So many variables are at play that the outcome can be maximized by surgeon experience, but not associated with professional fees... more

Just because you are in the public as a celebrity and you have tons of money does not guarantee that you will be able to buy perfection for your nose job. Belive it or not celebrities have the same skin, bone and cartilage as you do. There are a lot of very skilled nose surgeons in the USA. Even if there was a way to determine "the best" nose surgeon,( you can't go by the fact a person claims to be "the best") and there is really no good... more

Celebrity Rhinoplasty

Remember, many celebrities have a talent that nets them great wealth but does not necessarily create good judgment. Far too often we see terribly overdone work on entertainers. A typical patient seeking Rhinoplasty who exercises basic common sense working with an ethical and skillful surgeon giving good advice will have very nice outcomes. And you will pay much less.

Celebrity Nose Jobs

Celebrities nose jobs are often in the news. The key element to success is looking natural. The surgeon needs to design and plan a rhinoplasty based upon your facial features not on a celebrity’s nose. One cannot have an Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt nose if one has different facial features. It would not look good and would actually look unnatural in most cases. Unfortunately, many celebrity nose jobs and even those that are famous models do not have very good nose jobs and have... more

Celebrity Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Ethically speaking, perfection is not something that can only be "afforded". I believe a plastic surgeon should treat every rhinoplasty patient with the same diligence and drive for aesthetic beauty regardless of that patient’s income or social/celebrity status. In dealing with operating on celebrities on a regular basis, I can tell you that they are just as concerned as everyone else in getting the best possible results at the best possible price. Although you should... more

Rhinoplasty San Diego

NO WAY, you can have even better than celebrities, provided you do your research. Many fantastic surgeons are unassuming, very hard working, technically excellent, and humble. They don't promote themselves, but crank out incredible results daily. Celebrities gravitate toward "known" surgeons, many of whom seek celebrity status themselves. These surgeons are also often good, but not always, and not necessarily any better in any way than the guy down the street. Check before and after... more
