Patrick Dempsey of Gray’s Anatomy underwent a mid-career rhinoplasty which did the opposite of what most people desire.

Iconic Rhinoplasty for Angelina
There are a few people in our culture who represent iconic beauty, and Angelina Jolie is probably at the top. Part of the lure of beauty is its seemingly preordained, predestined nature.

Rihannaplasty – Did Rihanna Have a Nose Job?
Rihanna had plastic surgery, or did she? That is always the tantalizing question. On the one hand, we want our stars to have celestial bodies, clearly god-given and unattainable for mere mortals. On the other hand, we can become jealous of the gods, at times, and say to ourselves: “I could be a star, if [...]

In addition, he was concerned about wide appearing [...]

I have a lot of young patient’s who bring me pictures of the “Kim Kardashian nose job” during their pre-operative visit at my Los Angeles office.

“Madame X” is a painting by the famous 19th Century American portrait artist John Singer Sargent. This painting has always struck me as an unabashed celebration of the nose.
