Can I Ask for Jennifer Aniston's Nose when Getting a Nose Job?

When I was a resident I was warned that if a patient comes to my office armed with photos of celebrities or models, turn around and run the other way. This is not necessarily true. Coming with a photo or two of what you like can show the surgeon what your personal aesthetic is. This does not mean you will get a nose exactly like Jennifer Aniston, your nose is unlikely just like hers was before any surgery was performed. What I do with these photos is review why you like the nose you have cut out from the magazine and demonstrate why yours may or may not have any similarities. Also, most photos in magazines are in full makeup to cover imperfection then photo-shopped further to make everything look perfect.
On the other hand, if you think that a nosejob will make your career in modeling or acting, this when bringing photos is counter productive.

She has a nice nose so why not. That is a common type of request. Many patients are unable to express exactly what they wish to change about their nose so they pick their favorite celebrity nose and show me. I think it actually helps. I ask the patient what they like or don’t like about the celebrity nose so that I get a sense for what the changes that are desired. This dicussion, combined with computer imaging, makes for an excellent consultation.
Of course it is not possible to give you Jennifer Aniston's nose, nor would her nose necessarily suit your face. It may be possible to change your features so they are more similar to hers.

The short answer is no, it will not happen. Your anatomy will limit what can and can not be done with your nose. It wall depends are what we are trying to address. You can tell your plastic surgeon what you like about a certain nose and bring pictures with you, but to thing that you would have a nose like a certain person is unrealistic.
I would recommend you stay away from any surgeon that will tell you, yes I can get it to look just like hers, not true. Good luck.

Hello,
A physician would not get mad about the request. It is important to understand that the nose of another individual is tailored to that individual. You may be inclined to point out aspects of that individuals nose that you like, and ask your physician to try and obtain a similar effect. But ultimately, it comes down to what is the best fitting nose for your face.

This request may or may not be unreasonable. If you want the exact nose, then yes, this is an unreasonable request. However, if you say that you like the size and shape of her nose and that you would like your nose to be like Jennifer Aniston's, then you may be able to work with your plastic surgeon. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will get the exact same nose, but bringing in pictures of things that you like gives your plastic surgeon an better idea of your aesthetic goals. Good luck!

Computer Imaging is essential for your surgeon and for you. It helps your surgeon know that expectations are realistic, and it gives you a very close visual of what to expect after surgery.
I personally do not find photos of someone else's nose helpful in the evaluation and management of my prospective Rhinoplasty patients. I do bring my morphed, Computer Images to the OR, and try my best to meet the expectations that were established.
I hope this is helpful for you.
