Are we better about sharing when we’ve had a cosmetic treatment or surgery these days? It sure seems like it. “I’m not sure I know why people are more open today,” shares Stanford, CA facial plastic surgeon Sam P. Most, MD who specializes in rhinoplasties. “Perhaps social media has made it harder for them to hide it anyway, so they figure they may as well be honest.”

Featured Experts

  • Sam P. Most, MD is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Stanford, CA
  • David W. Kim, MD is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in San Francisco, CA
  • R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Campbell, CA

One reason people may feel more comfortable talking about their surgeries, or nose jobs in particular, is due to the natural-looking results that keep them looking very much like themselves. “A good rhinoplasty results in a nose that looks like it belongs on that person’s face.It isn’t just one shape that’s ideal,” says San Francisco, CA facial plastic surgeon David W. Kim, MD. Dr. Kim only performs nose jobs at his practice, and he says in the past, beauty standards emphasized narrow, sloped, small noses in women. “These features also came with a cost—obvious signs of surgery such as harsh highlights and shadows, pinched tips, and over exposed nostrils. Over the past couple of decades, there has been a steady movement towards more natural results,” he adds.

The hallmark of a good rhinoplasty comes down to proportions, notes rhinoplasty expert, Campbell, CA plastic surgeon R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD. “The width, height and projection should be ideal for that face,” he explains.“The entire structure should appear to be one fluid unit—from the root of the nose between the eyes to the tip of the nose. The boney portions and cartilaginous portions should appear as a single structure.The tip should appear to blend with the nostrils and not appear isolated, which is an unfortunate common finding after rhinoplasty.”

If celebrity behavior is an indicator of how far we’ve come with transparency, stars no longer have to spend time off camera to avoid coming clean about a surgical tweak. More and more we’re seeing A-listers open up about having a little help, whether it’s for cosmetic or more “functional” medical reasons. Here, 15 celebrities who’ve gone public with their rhinoplasty surgery, which according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons,happens to be the most common facial plastic surgery procedure around.

Iggy Azalea

No stranger to keeping it real, in 2016 Azalea publicly thanked her plastic surgeon, Dr. Ashkan Ghavami on social media for her “fabulous nose and breasts. After going public with her surgeries, the celebrity plastic surgeon shared the majority of the focus went to refining the shape of her nasal tip. “The tip was very twisted and very wide and boxy, so I had to do a lot of tip shaping to narrow and refine her tip without it looking done. She had a tiny hump that I reduced, and also she was very deviated and had blockage for breathing, so we really killed four birds with one stone,” said the doctor.

Ashley Tisdale

In a personal essay for her lifestyle blog Frenshe, Tisdale talked about the emotional turmoil she dealt with after her 2007 rhinoplasty which prompted much speculation from blogs, tabloids and High School Musical fans. “It was a very traumatic experience for me, and it makes me very emotional to this day,” she wrote. “To be clear, it was not about changing my appearance. After several doctor’s visits about my health issues, they also suggested shaving my ‘bump’ down. I was young and didn’t put much thought into it, so I decided, why not?” The experience gave her a unique perspective on negative stigmas surrounding cosmetic surgery, which she says is an individual choice she supports. “It wasn’t a big deal to me nor was it like I was dreaming of the day I’d get a nose job,” she added. “On the other hand, I have zero judgment towards anyone who does look forward to that day— your body, your choice.”

When contemplating the procedure, she shared that it came down to whether or not it would make her feel better about herself. Mission accomplished: “After I did it, it made me feel better,” she told the crowd.
