Kathy Griffin
Everyone is born with an innate beauty. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to see it within themselves. When you don’t feel as beautiful as you’d like, a nose job can make a huge difference in physical appearance. This is why celebrities often undergo rhinoplasty surgery, hoping to meet the rigorous beauty standards of the modern world.
While this procedure can be used to correct serious nose-related issues, such as congenital defects or respiratory problems, 90% of celebrities go under the knife purely for the sake of vanity.
Sometimes, the surgery doesn’t go quite as planned, but in most cases, the results are pretty impressive. You’ll definitely be taken aback by some of these transformations…
Melissa Gorga
Anyone who is an admirer of Quentin Tarantino’s work knows this stunning ginger from the iconic movie Pulp Fiction. The stand-up comedian has even co-hosted New Year’s Eve at Times Square alongside Anderson Cooper. Despite Griffin’s comic talent on stage, it seems that, to her, there was something getting in the way of her success as an actress.
Her hair color and loud voice are just a few of the staple features that make Kathy a fresh, unique character, but her nose stood out to her as a negative, so she decided to undergo a rhinoplasty procedure. The surgery took care of a few other details as well, and Griffin’s appearance is noticeably different after the operation.
Dianna Agron
Her family calls her “Little Miss Everything,” and that’s quite the understatement when defining this artist-turned-businesswoman. Melissa Gorga is the proud owner of the fashion store, Envy. She’s also a singer, and one of the prestigious Real Housewives of New Jersey. She’s a proud mother of three, and has left her recipe for success in her book, Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage.
Despite being in the public eye, she kept her rhinoplasty a secret from the public for five years. It wasn’t until her co-star, Jacqueline Laurita, revealed the truth, and she had to come clean about the surgery. We can all admit that Laurita didn’t have to spill the beans on something that was frankly none of her business. However, it’s also a known fact that celebrities will do anything for ratings. Anyway, the secret’s out there.
Heidi Montag
The Glee star went from being a mean cheerleader to embodying the stereotypical badass blonde bombshell in no time. Even years after Glee was finished, Dianna Agron still can’t seem to convince Hollywood she’s capable of being so much more than your average girl next door. Maybe that’s why, despite having been in more than 15 movies in the last decade, she still can’t land a leading role.
Regardless, she has a true natural beauty. Well, not so natural. If you look closely, you’ll notice Agron has had a nose job. But unlike other fellow celebrities, the former Glee star had to go through this procedure because her nose suffered several accidents, and was broken. Rhinoplasty, for her, was the a way to reconstruct it.
Ashley Tisdale
In the early 2000s, reality shows ate up MTV’s ratings, particularly The Hills, which followed young rich couples that lived in LA, one of which was Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. The people on this show were some of the first to prove to America that you can genuinely make money solely out of TV exposure, making millions each day. That is, until Jersey Shore arrived, and Heidi and her boo quickly became has-beens.
It was during those golden years that Heidi got a number of surgeries done, including a breast reduction, chin work, rhinoplasty, and cheek work. After so many procedures, she looked very different from her original self. Heidi later admitted it was a mistake to go under the knife. Now, she’s left with nothing but a new face and increasingly less media exposure.
Courtney Love
You probably remember her for being the sweet babysitter on The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody. However, her most popular role to date is, without question, the smash hit movie High School Musical. Despite being cast in several movies, Tisdale never really managed to get out of the Disney spotlight. She chose to pursue a career as a singer, with occasional collaborations with Vanessa Hudgens.
As a way to jump-start this new phase of her career, Ashley had rhinoplasty surgery. To this day, she claims it was for medical reasons. She insisted she had trouble breathing on one side of her nose. The bottom line is, the intervention improved her breathing, and she lost a small lump that was right above her nose. From that point on, her solo career only kept going up.
Amanda Bynes
This grungy blonde beauty has been through her fair share of heartbreaks, including the loss of her husband, grunge pioneer and Nirvana voice lead, Kurt Cobain. She’s struggled with drugs her whole life as well. Her problem with addictions was so strong that the media condemned her for getting pregnant with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, while allegedly under the influence.
But Love also believed that a nose job would allow her to go further in the industry. Since her nose was quite prominent during the 80s, she had a rhinoplasty, and it seemed that her plan worked, as she earned enough money making music, in combination with being the widow of the late Kurt Cobain.
Ashlee Simpson
Here’s one to take you back to the best days of Nickelodeon. Who could possibly forget that one woman show that featured the very talented Amanda Bynes? Bynes wasn’t always the shady artist she is today. Back in the early 2000s, her future looked very bright for a clever girl who could switch back and forth between different characters.
Unfortunately, things went downhill very quickly for the young actress after her role in Easy A. For some reason, she thought getting a nose job would distract the public from her otherwise chaotic lifestyle. Not only does she look worse than in her glory days, but social media continues to show pictures of before she had the procedure done. Yikes.
Howard Stern
Ashlee had enough going for her. With her family already a part of show business, it seemed the road to fame wouldn’t be such an uphill battle. But one day, on her debut on Saturday Night Live, one of the songs she’d already performed came on the speaker system by accident, revealing an embarrassing playback she could barely shake off.
Putting aside her bad rap, Simpson used to have quite the “beak” nose, so what better idea than to touch up her nose a bit? Well, after she went from a huge beak to a super small nose, her family claimed it “cured” her breathing problems. Furthermore, unlike other stars, it’s fair to say that Ashlee’s change was for the better, at least medically.
Keira Knightley
Outrageous, irreverent, creative, and visionary are a few of the many qualities that could sum up Howard Stern. His glory days were certainly around the mid-nineties, when he released Private Parts, an autobiographical movie of his journey as a radio host. Then, Stern took radio journalism to a whole new level, getting in the way of clean-cut reporting until he started his own station.
Probably one of the most ironic moments of his career happened when he decided to get rhinoplasty surgery. The procedure was done so well that Stern never got any questions or shocking looks regarding his nose, as no one noticed for months. Ironically, the radio host kept the intervention a secret from his family out of fear of being considered too “gay.”
Mickey Rourke
British actress Keira Knightley has been in several films to date, but one of her most beloved performances is as Elizabeth Bennet in the reboot of Pride and Prejudice, co-starring with Matthew McFaden. This brilliant actress booms with charisma in every movie, including her portrayal of Orlando Bloom’s love interest in Pirates of The Caribbean.
Despite admitting she would like to have her breasts enhanced, Keira has not confirmed she ever got a rhinoplasty. The media claims otherwise, by comparing pictures of her when she first started acting, and now. But the differences in her nose are pretty much non-existent until proven otherwise.
Jennifer Aniston
Millennials know this legend as the feared Russian villain from Marvel’s Iron Man. However, Mickey Rourke’s career can be traced back to the 60s, when he started training as a professional boxer. Unfortunately, after suffering several concussions, doctors recommended he stay off the ropes for a while. It was in the 80s that Rourke decided to pursue an acting career.
However, he’s the one of the few cases in Hollywood that got a rhinoplasty for very different reasons than the average artist. Rourke had suffered a lot of punches straight to the nose during his boxing phase, which is quite normal for the sport, and had to undergo rhinoplasty to fix his very injured nose. The successful procedure only improved his looks.
Blake Lively
There was one character most girls were just dying to be on the hit 90s show Friends, and that was Rachel. Naturally pretty, slim, witty, sassy, and with a girl-next-door vibe, the beautiful Aniston assured herself a name in Hollywood after portraying the iconic role for 10 years. The show’s success got her to star in a number of comedy films.
But recently, she decided to undergo surgery to beat the race against time. Of course, she had already had surgery back in 1993, right before she was cast on Friends. But that rhinoplasty was justified as she suffered from a deviated septum that made it difficult to breathe at night.
Janet Jackson
Probably one of Hollywood’s most gorgeous, and down-to-earth celebrities, Blake Lively, is mostly remembered for her role in the hit TV series Gossip Girl. Recently, she also starred in the drama Adeline. For this beauty, not even motherhood has changed her body.
One her best kept secrets, though, is that her nose has definitely been under the knife. Being the jaw-dropping natural beauty she is, Blake doesn’t talk about this, but a close look at her pictures before being famous and now show she’s gotten some work done. Nothing wrong with admitting you’re not flawless, girl.
Tori Spelling
The saying goes “black don’t crack.” But that seems to not be the case with the Jackson clan. Janet Jackson follows the steps of her brother, Michael, the late king of Pop in the music industry, although admittedly not with half of his success. However, now a fulfilled mother at an unconventional time of her life, Janet’s in a die-hard race against time, trying to cover every trace.
You’d think she’d learned a thing or two from her late brother’s experience, but Janet was desperate to stay young, and rid herself of the Jackson family staple nose. She’s gone under the knife lots of time, almost to the point of looking unrecognizable. Complete with a recent facelift, we’re surprised how Jackson’s career is still stronger than ever, underneath it all.
Jennifer Grey
You could say this actress had it easy with her father being no other than Aaron Spelling, producer of the hit series 90210. It is, after all, a common belief that this was the reason why Spelling got a lead role in such a successful show, despite not being as good-looking as the rest of the cast. She was nicknamed “but-her-face,” but aside from that, Tori had everything else set up to succeed.
Regardless of her father’s reputation and her own run on TV, neither these, nor the nearly 30 plastic surgeries she’s had have done anything to improve her looks. Yes, 30. And no, she only admits to having one: rhinoplasty. The rest are just rumors. Very evident, obvious, plastic rumors.
Shia LaBoeuf
This 80s actress is known for her two most beloved roles, playing Ferris’s big sister in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and later co-starring in Dirty Dancing with the late Patrick Swayze. With an indisputable talent for the dance floor, and great potential for the big screen, this artist’s career seemed to only be going up.
Unfortunately, there is one thing about her appearance that she didn’t like, her nose. So she had a rhinoplasty, but the procedure was quite disappointing. It changed her face to the point that the actress claimed no one recognized her. Fortunately, she’s still very active on stage, proving that a bad surgery definitely doesn’t have to be the end of an artistic career.
Tyra Banks
From playing the cute little Even Steven character to starring in the live action Transformers films, not to mention other major roles, such as Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps alongside Michael Douglas, Shia LaBoeuf has done it all. Lately though, the actor has become a very eclectic artist within the film industry, almost staying out of the media altogether, due to personal issues.
One thing he keeps denying, though, is that his nose is clearly a lot more refined now than it was in his early Disney Channel days. Did he grow into it? It’s not likely. Shia has definitely gone under the knife for rhinoplasty. Just look at his old pictures and pick out any random shot from a recent award show, and the difference is blatantly obvious.
Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff
American supermodel, Tyra Banks, is currently one of the highest-respected celebrities in Hollywood. Not only has she walked on the runway back in her day, but Tyra has also mentored hundreds of women who’ve been on her reality show, America’s Next Top Model. A proud owner of a glance that would put Zoolander’s tiger look to shame, Tyra Banks is a fashion and entertainment icon.
Regardless, her strong personality and determination cannot cover the fact that she may or may not have gotten a nose job in the last decade. Her remarkable eyes might look just the same, but judging by older pictures, some work has definitely been done on her already-beautiful nose.
Gisele Bundchen
French identical-twin brothers Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were well-known television presenters and scientific essayists. They were primarily-known for the Bogdanoff affair, where it was alleged that the two brothers wrote unverified and nonsensical papers in scientific journals.
In recent years, they made headlines for the presumed number of cosmetic surgeries that they’ve had. While they have never expressly admitted to having plastic surgery, many surgeons have assumed that they must have had work done, given their look. The two brothers passed away just six days apart from each other at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022.
Scarlett Johansson
From Brazil with love, comes the most perfect combination of German and Latin-American blood in the form of supermodel, Gisele Bundchen. Today, not only does her youth remain intact, but she can boast about being one of the highest paid models in the runway business. Gisele Bundchen is also an actress, although her on-screen appearances are far less popular than her gigs as a model.
Bundchen also had a rhinoplasty done in the peak of her career. Regardless, her intervention was so well done, it hardly changed her overall appearance. In fact, it defined her nose, which was slightly larger in the bridge due to her Germanic features, into a straight line to give more symmetry and visual harmony to her face, while maintaining the rest of her features.
Kate Moss
Undoubtedly one of director Woody Allen’s most favorite actresses, ScarJo went from being Alex’s sister in Home Alone 3, to playing Marvel’s Black Widow several years later. No longer the blonde teenager she used to be, Scarlett Johansson has actually come a long way, considering her age. Her talent as an actress is a given, and she’s even shared screen time with Bradley Cooper.
Johansson had a bad run in with the media when a newspaper ran the story of her getting a nose job. Now her nose is either an exceptional example of a perfect nose, or perhaps one of the best nose jobs ever done. After all, the charm of a nose job is that it’s supposed to be imperceptible. If that’s the case, somebody get the number of that surgeon.
Patrick Dempsey
Whenever you think about British supermodel Kate Moss, the most likely images that come to mind are perfumes and fragrances. Judging by her health, erratic behavior that often puts her on public headlines, and her unique taste in men, you wouldn’t believe her age.
Kate’s symmetric face, on the other hand, is by no means the result of mother nature’s generosity. Although the model denies it, she has undergone rhinoplasty in order to reduce her large round nose. The difference was already noticeable when looking at a picture of her at 35 next to one when she was younger, so some work has definitely been done.
Britney Spears
This Hollywood hottie got his big break as the star of Grey’s Anatomy. Imagine a younger, wittier version of George Clooney in his days on ER. That is Patrick Dempsey for all you dreamer gals. Dempsey’s always been acknowledged for his beauty, but lately, it seems that not everything on his face is, well, his. If you take a look at some pictures before Grey’s Anatomy, you’ll see it.
Dempsey is one of the many men in Hollywood who has gone under the knife. He got his nose job right around the time Grey’s Anatomy was at its highest peak of success. Rather than thinning his nose, the procedure made it look more rugged, and slightly deviated. Lucky for him, his entire face didn’t turn into some spin-off of Death Becomes Her. On the contrary, his looks are still flawless.
Christina Aguilera
Pop music would not be the same without her. America’s favorite 90s singer started as a sassy, confident teen straight out of the Mickey Mouse Club, and went on to topping charts for hits such as “Oops, I Did It Again” and “Toxic.” Years later, youthful and stronger than ever, Britney continues to represent a musical icon for women around the world.
In 2015, Spears showed up to the ESPY Awards looking prettier than ever, and…different. Everyone noticed that there was something more distracting than her new-found confidence post-break up. Rumors quickly spread that Britney had gotten a nose job. One tweeter called it a “Michael Jackson” nose. In her defense, she’s entitled to do whatever she wants with her body.
Tom Cruise
Despite being a part of pop culture for many years, 90s sensation Christina Aguilera still manages to stay beautiful and relevant. Her voice also remains impeccable and, thanks to The Voice, she’s been able to pass on some of her much-appreciated wisdom in the arts to newcomers in the industry. However, sometimes staying young comes at a high price.
Take, as an example, her appearance for an event in April, 2015. The pictures showed an X-tina with an overload of Pancake 31, and a very obvious hint of a nose job. The first rumor was that she had put on some pounds. But experts said that she’d definitely had a touch up with her first rhinoplasty surgery, which had been done after giving birth to her first son.
Holly Madison
Tom Cruise and Chuck Norris have one thing in common: they’re invincible. Or so it seems, judging by the characters they’ve played. Cruise went from being a US Navy pilot, to a super spy who could eat the UK’s Bond for breakfast. Seriously though, can you imagine Bond as a villain in an upcoming M:I sequel?
Now, one of the hottest topics running across Hollywood is how a man like Tom Cruise can look as youthful as he does, but not use a single ounce of Botox. You’d almost be naive if you thought his appearance was indeed a result of healthy living, or is it? Rumors about the true source of his youth came to him, and he denied any surgeries on Playboy magazine.
Jennifer Connelly
If Marilyn Monroe could choose a celebrity to represent her today, it would probably be former playmate, and past partner of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, Holly Madison. After all, they have a few things in common. Besides being blonde, they also have a jaw-dropping appearance, and the reputation for dating celebrities.
There is one difference with Monroe that’s undeniable: Monroe’s beauty was 100% natural. Holly, on the other hand, got a little help from makeup, and the rest came from several surgeries, which involved a rhinoplasty and a breast augmentation. While Holly was always a beauty, she admitted to media that she went under the knife, which opened lots of doors, and has made her the celebrity she is today.
Nicole Kidman
Few women can master a beauty as singular as the one boasted by Jennifer Connelly. The actress started her career with the one and only David Bowie in the 80s movie Labyrinth. Later, she went on to be cast in numerous roles, including the supporting role of Bruce Banner’s love interest in Hulk.
Despite her flawless appeal, recent rumors sparked throughout the media that she had gotten a rhinoplasty. Considering that it’s the second most common procedure among celebrities right after breast implants, this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Regardless, both Connelly and her publicist denied it. They claimed that she’d lost weight, affecting her breasts and facial features.
Salma Hayek
Nicole Kidman is an established actress who’s shared screen time with a number of celebrities. Kidman’s beauty is undeniable, as is her talent. However, this dashing woman took many trips to the OR, and became a strong advocate for the use of Botox, but only for a few years. Sadly, her face has turned expressionless, and for this reason, she’s stopped getting it.
However, one of the loudest rumors to this day is that she had a nose job back in the mid 2000s. While her facial features have become somewhat cold, the original goal was still met. After all, Nicole’s greatest concern was to keep her skin away from anything that could possibly damage its perfection. The cost, of course, is quite high. Fortunately, she’s still beautiful.
Cameron Diaz
The beautiful Mexican-American actress, Salma Hayek, is currently a heavy-weight in Hollywood, as her career boomed in the early 2000s when she interpreted Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in the biopic movie, Frida. The mother of a little girl, Hayek is also a producer, the founder of the company Ventanarosa, and a model.
This Mexican bombshell has also claimed she despises plastic surgery. Regardless, it’s hard not to suspect otherwise, judging by some old pictures in comparison to more recent shots at several award shows. Provided the rumors of the nose job remain unconfirmed, her breasts have the distinct look of those that went under the knife. People aren’t that stupid, Salma.
Caitlyn Jenner
A bubbly combo of ditzy and sexy, smart and sassy, Cameron Diaz looks nowhere near her age. But it looks like it takes a little more for this actress to stay on top in the competitive nature of the film industry. Her career seems to be only aiming in one direction, and that’s up, as she’s currently cashing in at 15 million dollars a movie.
All that glow doesn’t come without a price. The actress once admitted to having gone through rhinoplasty to correct a slighted deviated septum that was not letting her breathe correctly. The job was flawlessly done, and can be appreciated in pictures where the change is barely noticed. She’s also evidently gotten a breast augmentation, but has never confirmed it.
Demi Moore
Bruce may have been reborn as Caitlyn Jenner, but once upon a time all-star athlete Bruce Jenner fathered Kylie, Kendall, Brody, Brandon, and Burt Jenner. During the 70s, Jenner was a decathlon Olympian, who secretly struggled with gender identity.
His frequent visits to the plastic surgeon started back in the 80s, when Jenner underwent his first nose job. This was the first of many interventions, which resulted in the transition from Bruce to Caitlyn. Caitlyn now advocates for the transgender community, and appreciates the unconditional support of her family, as she lives life as a female.
Gwyneth Paltrow
No matter how well kept her body is, there was no turning back once Demi hopped on the Botox wagon. Best known for her roles in Ghost and Indecent Proposal, Demi’s last big accomplishment was being married to Ashton Kutcher. And then they got divorced, and the years quickly took a toll on her. Don’t get us wrong, though. She still looks stunning. But her face is one knife away from unrecognizable.
She persistently denies having had surgery, but it’s a well-known fact that her face looks very little like the naturally beautiful gal from the 80s and 90s. While she doesn’t openly admit to undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure, she cannot deny getting liposuction, breast implants, dental veneers, and more.
Madonna
From wearing a fat suit for Shallow Hal, to being Shakespeare’s mistress in Shakespeare in Love, to breaking Ethan Hawke’s heart multiple times in Hollywood’s take on Great Expectations, Gwyneth Paltrow is a sensation, who’s reputation clearly precedes her.
Paltrow has reportedly gotten numerous surgeries done on her face, including minimal lifts, eyelid surgery, and blepharoplasty. The most well known procedure, however, is the rhinoplasty she went through to make her nose bridge thinner and reduce the size of the tip. In an effort to keep her skin wrinkle free, she’s also tried laser treatment, which gave her a more youthful appearance.
Megan Fox
Her style is a mixture between savage and sexy, and her music career goes back to the early 80s. Modern pop stars who sport vintage fashion are actually just disguising themselves as a young version of the artist that blessed us with “Music Makes the People” and “La Isla Bonita.” Madonna is legendary, but she can thank her youthful appearance to a little nip and tuck.
After all, she is quite known for her constant efforts for staying young and beautiful. With some Botox injected into her cheeks to make them plumper, as well as an almost invisible nose job, Madonna looks like she’s figured out the secret to eternal youth. Complete with facelifts, chin implants, and many minimally-invasive facial procedures, the pop diva’s image remains intact.
Katie Holmes
This jaw-dropping brunette still has a very hard time getting respectable, relatable roles on the big screen. Despite being part of the box office hit Transformers, Fox has only managed to be cast to play what she calls the “cold queen,” turning her characters into very distant people that audiences can hardly feel a connection with.
Since becoming a mother, it’s even harder, as her body has changed from the ideal form it once had. Fox has gone through rhinoplasty surgery and lip injections. But now she’s also considering a tummy tuck in order to slip into her bikini again. There are also rumors that she’s gotten small breast implants, as she was recently photographed topless and a few changes were seen.
Ozzy Osbourne
Her innocent glance, complete with a beautiful complexion, style, and class, gave Katie Holmes a name in Hollywood, starting with the beloved Dawson’s Creek, where she played Joey Potter until 2003. She was then cast in several movies, including the Batman franchise. Holmes was also married to Scientologist Tom Cruise, with whom she has a child named Suri Cruise.
It was during this relationship that Holmes had a nose job that allegedly removed her nasal cartilage, making her nose look thinner. Furthermore, Katie Holmes has endured several traumas, including the separation from her ex-hubby, Tom Cruise. These circumstances took a toll on her health, as seen in recent pictures that show her to be very thin.
Fergie
Black Sabbath’s front man’s life has always been surrounded by controversy. Despite the band’s unstoppable success in the 80s, Ozzy admitted to being on drugs, even while recording. This was one of the main reasons why he left the band for a short time. However, his addictions haven’t shaded his long career, which has earned him the name of “Godfather of Heavy Metal.”
His fame can only compete with this health, which, these days, seems to be quite on point. He was recently photographed in an event with his wife Sharon, looking fresh and youthful. The Prince of Darkness admitted to not only going under the knife, but that the face lifts and rhinoplasty boosted his confidence. Good for you, Ozzy.
Josh Hutcherson
The Black Eyed Peas singer has many more angles to her career than just the music. After BEP, she’s been on a personal path of recognition for her talent as a solo artist. She’s also a fashion designer with a fragrance brand, Outspoken, which made Avon sales records upon its release. Currently, Fergie is a philanthropist who makes donations to many different non-profit organizations.
This talented artist got a rhinoplasty in order to correct a deviated septum. Not sure why this is hard to believe. Maybe because it happens to be the go-to excuse whenever celebrities want to tell themselves plastic surgery is for health reasons, when it’s clear how the song really goes. Hey, she might be telling the truth, but then again, so might a hundred other stars.
Clay Aiken
Although the public recognizes him for his big screen role in The Hunger Games, Hutcherson’s career started long before playing Peeta. In fact, his experience can be traced all the way back to Bridge to Terabithia, Zathura, and Journey to The Center of The Earth. Lately, he’s also been tapping into directing and producing, both quite unknown sides of his profession.
He’s suffered from a deviated septum for many years, until he finally went through rhinoplasty surgery. His is one of those cases where we can genuinely say it was a problem that had to be dealt with. The funny thing is, when reporters spotted him and his brand new nose, his explanation was rather fishy: “I was born this way.” So much mystery surrounded a simple procedure.
Karina Smirnoff
His name first saw the public light after he won second place on American Idol in 2003. Unlike several artists who emerged from this singing contest, Aiken took every opportunity he could to make music, releasing six albums while participating with different recording studios. At the same time, Aiken was a prolific activist and author. He’s currently an ambassador for UNICEF.
One of the most curious trivia facts about Clay is that he got a rhinoplasty done because he was actually suffering from a deviated septum, a common disease that can be easily taken care of with a nose job. The thing is, most celebrities are not really in that dire of a situation to justify the surgery. Most of the time, they just do it to come out with a better nose.
Barry Manilow
If you’ve never heard of Karina Smirnoff before, or the first thing that comes to your mind is the alcoholic drink, you’re not alone. While her last name matching the brand is a funny coincidence, her career is most definitely not. This Ukrainian stunner, born in the US, is best known as a professional ballroom dancer, and the proud winner of season 13 of Dancing with The Stars.
You can see her glowing in recent pictures, after undergoing a rhinoplasty surgery. About the procedure, she said she felt great, and it was the best decision she had ever made. You can stop faking a deviated septum to justify your need to look beautiful. Take a look at home girl Karina as she stands proud with her perfectly straight nose.
Alexa Ray Joel
The 70s gave the music industry what the Rolling Stone magazine called “the voice that represents our generation.” And indeed, singer Barry Manilow’s influence is still strong to this day. Manilow is an icon for all Americans, even down to his suit, which inspired late director John Hughes to create the iconic suit for the school principal in the classic film, The Breakfast Club.
What you probably don’t know about this legendary artist is that he’s been through a number of aesthetic surgeries, including a rhinoplasty. The singer was displaying difficulties in his performance due to a deviated septum. The surgery solved it, and in turn, not only improved his breathing, but his singing as well.
Alexis Bellino
All it takes is one quick look at this sweet singer-songwriter to see the stunning resemblance to her father, superstar Billy Joel. Alexa Ray has struggled to creep out of her father and mother’s shadow for many years. What’s worse is that in 2009, the abrupt ending of a four-year-long relationship caused her panic attacks, which lead her to almost overdose on anxiety pills.
Alexa has admitted to going under the knife for a rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum and fix her nose. At least she admitted to it. Kudos to her for being honest. The procedure was done in 2010, and she’s felt better ever since. With a promising solo career, Alexa is on her way to following her father’s footsteps, hopefully bringing his style back too.
La Toya Jackson
Meet Alexis Bellino, one of the five infamous Real Housewives of Orange County. This tough blonde is a mother of three, and, as a businesswoman, she knows how important exposure is to keep her name in the public eye. The media is always popping out new information about estates she’s purchasing, expensive imported vehicles she’s buying, and more related to her life as a glamorous LA housewife.
But a glamorous life wasn’t enough, as Bellino still needed to show everyone her nose job was a health-related must. So she dedicated an entire episode of her reality show to proving it. With a generous dose of tears, worthy of an Academy Award nomination, Alexis even got her personal physician to display the mucus that came out of her nostrils to show that her procedure was mandatory.
Michael Jackson
La Toya has been trying to pursue a music career ever since she started with her family’s band. Yes, that bone structure has the undeniable Jackson touch to it. Unfortunately, La Toya was never as successful as her brother Michael and sister Janet. She might share the DNA, but her niche is still quite uncertain.
It’s no secret that the artist has gone through a rhinoplasty. In fact, rumor has it that she and her sister Janet were nipped and tucked by the same surgeon. But the artist insists on being against plastic surgery. Regardless, you have to admit the irony of how the Jacksons actually managed to keep sharing the same nose, even if it is a brand new one.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Always surrounded by a halo of controversy, the “King of Pop” that brought timeless hits like “Thriller,” “Heal the World,” and “They Don’t Really Care About Us,” also fought with numerous personal issues, many of which can be traced back to his very early start in the music industry. MJ claimed to be in the eye of the media on a daily basis up to the time he died.
Regardless, nothing kept the media more curious than Michael’s obsession with changing his appearance. It started with his nose. His skin also changed from black to white. His family claims he had a skin condition that affected his skin color. Some also say he became a regular for surgeons in order to transform his face to not look like his father. Unfortunately, you can never know for sure.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Arguably one of the most prestigious actresses, her reputation precedes her. While her first appearance in Hollywood came with the big screen adaptation of El Zorro, Catherine’s highest-regarded moment was when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie musical Chicago, followed by a Tony award for her outstanding performance in the same Broadway musical.
With a physique that resembles nobody near her age, Zeta-Jones owes more than she admits to the surgeon’s knife. The British actress has gotten a rhinoplasty, along with an eyelid intervention, and other surgeries. Some pictures of her in a tiny bikini revealed what looked like brand new breasts. Basically, if you’re cute at that age, it’s most likely because you can afford it.
Lil’ Kim
With more than 40 films across her career, Pfeiffer has shared screen time with some of Hollywood’s finest, like Al Pacino and George Clooney. In the early 90s, she was an Academy Award nominee three times. Some of her most memorable characters include Catwoman in Batman Returns, the waitress from Frankie and Johnny, and the lovely architect from A Perfect Day.
Of course, looking perfect in your later years is only a goal that can be achieved through a healthy lifestyle, or regular visits to an OR. The latter seems a bit more likely in Pfeiffer’s case. From Botox injections in her lips, to rhinoplasty, to face lifts, and skin stretching, Pfeiffer is really trying hard to preserve her look.
Cher
Lil’ Kim was born and raised in Brooklyn, and became a rapper at a young age. After her parents divorced, she went to live on the streets. Then, her mentor, the late Notorious BIG, took her under his wing. While her most recognized single is “Lady Marmalade,” Kim has released several albums, and is a very successful artist, recognized in the US and Canada.
Despite denying it, Lil’ Kim has undergone surgery, first for her lip augmentation, and later for her nose, and then breasts. In one picture she looked so much like LaToya Jackson, and her explanation was a new beauty routine. Unless you’re trying to disguise yourself as Nicky Minaj, make up doesn’t make you look like you’ve just gone under the surgeon’s knife, Kim. Look it up.
Iggy Azalea
An indisputable icon, Cher has mastered the very coveted ability of reinvention across her extensive career. A brilliant actress, singer, songwriter, and all around natural performer, Cher represents the very essence of pop culture. From her early days with Sonny Bono making disco hits, to her solo career, Cher has earned the respect of the music industry, thanks to her versatility, professionalism, and creativity.
Cher admits she has had a rhinoplasty performed, along with breast implants after she was done breastfeeding her first baby. A woman so confident she needs to explain herself to no one, Cher isn’t afraid of going under the knife and admitting to any new procedures, as long as it’s all in favor of her progress as an artist. Good for her.
Rose McGowan
Things weren’t always easy for the Australian rapper, who felt out of place after moving to the UK, mainly because the urban style she enjoyed was not accepted in her neighborhood. After saving some money, Iggy traveled to the US, and began collaborating with artists like Ariana Grande, Jessie J, J Lo, Pitbull, and Beyonce. All of this took place in 2014, and was undoubtedly Iggy’s best year.
In a very competitive industry such as this, it was only to be expected that Iggy would go the extra mile to prove worthy of the world’s attention. If her rapping wasn’t good enough, her whole appearance had to be. And so, the Aussie has had her nose done. She also went under the knife to get a breast augmentation. But she’s not even ashamed of admitting to any of it.
Farrah Abraham
She’s best known for her role as Page on Charmed, and the younger version of the Evil Queen’s mother on Once Upon a Time. She’s also an established model who’s posed for Vogue. McGowan would rather not be labeled as an actress, since her years in that profession were “stressful”. She also enjoys directing, and tackling Hollywood projects on her own term.
A dark moment came when she had a terrible accident that could have been fatal. Instead, the opportunity allowed her to fix a scar that was under one of her eyes. She also had other procedures done, like adding fillers, and having rhinoplasty. The once naturally lavishing artist now looks more intimidating than ever.
Lisa Kudrow
Farrah started her career as an artist in 2009, when she made her debut in the MTV reality show 16 and Pregnant. Once she gave birth to her only child, Sophia Laurent Abraham, she went on to starring on Teen Mom. She also released a studio album that did not exactly have the best feedback. In fact, the newspaper The Guardian called her voice “abrasively auto-tuned.”
The Teen Mom star has undergone multiple plastic surgeries, from rhinoplasty to lip injections, a breast augmentation, and a chin reduction. Every time she has a television appearance, her own complexion seems to have evolved, yet again. Hopefully she learns from all the failed cases from Hollywood’s walk of shame before it’s too late.
Kudrow, who is known for her portrayal as Phoebe on Friends, has been the comic relief in a wide variety of movies, alternating with small roles in movies like Easy A and Analyze This and Analyze That, among others. Later, she landed a role as an infamous online therapist in the TV series Web Therapy.
Lisa Kudrow started with a nose job right before changing schools at 16, because she felt “hideous.” The rhinoplasty boosted her confidence, and she claims it “changed her life.” You can see how her face went from a shy smile to a beaming grin in her high school yearbook picture. Of course, if 16-year-olds could get rhinoplasty rather than boob jobs, the world would be a better place.
