Bad 'Nose Jobs'

Ever notice a bad 'nose job'? Have you stopped to think what it is that makes it look bad? Often it is overdone, meaning it looks as if too much has been changed, amplifying certain aspects while juxtaposing one ethnicity's traits next to another that you would never see in the general population. A good example was Michael Jackson's nose. It just didn't fit his face or features. You see this sometimes in celebrities. They want something that just doesn't conform to their face and they have the influence and money that can sway some surgeon to give them what they want, even if doesn't look right.

If you don't like the way your nose looks, the best thing you can do is to spend some time with a mirror to figure out exactly what it is that bother's you about it and then look at people with a similar ethnic background to find pleasing noses. They may not be an exact fit for your face but at least you will be starting in the right direction. Once you have an idea of what you would like to change then visit a board certified plastic surgeon or E.N.T. to determine if it is even possible and to have an imaging session to see how you might turn out.

Remember, plastic surgeons are human and can make substantial positive changes but they don't have a magic wand and some things are just not possible, and in some cases not desirable.

Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday.

All the Best,
