Celebrity Nose Jobs: Better Than What Anyone Can Get?

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 sets. If you are interested in getting a rhinoplasty, make sure you do your research and make sure you are happy with your surgeon. If they have enough experience and interest in rhinoplasty surgery, they will give you the best chance for a good outcome. They will probably be more affordable, in addition. Hope this helps.

Any true board certified plastic surgeon treats all patients equally both in and out of the operating room.  We pride ourselves on our results not necessarily our clients status.  Best of luck...RAS 

Celebrity is certainly no guarantee of a good facial plastic surgery outcome. We have all seen some of the disastrous results of celebrities whose plastic surgery has gone horribly awry. Celebrities are prone to the same frailties we all have, such as bargain shopping or believing the hype about the plastic surgeon of the moment. Trusting your face to a facial plastic surgeon means that – whoever you are – you need to do extensive research by looking at their websites, verifying credentials, meeting several prospects in person, speaking to former patients, and finding someone you connect with and trust.

People from all walks of life, in every area of the country, and of all incomes have successfully found fantastic facial plastic surgeons to help them. Although an expert may charge more than a “bargain” surgeon, most facial plastic surgeons can work out a payment plan that matches your budget so you can get the best “Hollywood” rhinoplasty you desire – wherever you are.

In general practices that specialize in rhinoplasty surgery and perform this delicate procedure regularly, every week, are able to achieve many realistic goals of patients. A longstanding and high level of dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance may also contribute to a happy outcome. Rhinoplasties ought not to be obvious, so an obvious celebrity nose job may not be as fashionable as you think.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph

Great question and as you can see lots of doctors have opinions about this.  It should not matter who you are or how much you pay, a surgeon should always do his or her best.  That being said all surgeons are not created equally and that will be obvious by their training, work and reviews.  So it is not unreasonable that the better surgeons will charge more and hence deliver better results.  Its less about being famous and more about doing your homework and really finding someone who loves rhinoplasty and will take the time needed to get reproducible great results.  Dont be surprised if they charge more.  You sorta get what you pay for

Thank you for the interesting question! While it is true that many celebrities undergo rhinoplasty (or cosmetic surgery in general), it is not a given that they receive better treatment or get better results. "Perfection" in rhinoplasty is a difficult concept -- there are so many factors involved (the patient's tissues and healing capacity, post-operative care, surgeon skill, etc.) that it isn't really possible to say that one group of patients get better results. The reality is that your relationship with your surgeon is among the best predictors of your results. Price and fame aren't everything.
