    Rhinoplasty Surgery in Hollywood

    Rhinoplasty Surgery in Hollywood

    Rhinoplasty, which is cosmetic plastic surgery of the nose, has long been staple in Hollywood.
    The reason is that Hollywood thrives on showing the world beautiful faces and it is impossible to have a truly beautiful face without a satisfactorily-shaped nose.

    Some people are lucky and are born with a nose that is proportional and is pleasing to the eye.  Elizabeth Taylor comes to mind.  Likewise Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve. 

    Those who have not had luck on their side with respect to receiving a “good nose”, have always had the option of having the rhinoplasty surgery. Of all the procedures that a younger person can do to improve their appearance, rhinoplasty ranks number one.  It is more important and more commonly requested than chin augmentation or blepharoplasty.

    Remember, also, that many people have the rhinoplasty surgery at the same time as they have nasal septoplasty and turbinate resection to improve the airway or correct a sinus problem. This “double need” is more common in men than women, of course.

    Marilyn Monroe had rhinoplasty.  Comedian Milton Berle and actor Dean Martin also had rhinoplasty.  

    Years ago when I was researching for my book, Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon, I visisted a photo archives facility in Venice, California.  It was fascinating to leaf through the drawers and recognize that many familiar faces had indeed had rhinoplasty surgery at some point in their life. 

    Incidentally, some people go to great lengths to conceal the fact that they are having such surgery.  If you ever saw Barbara Streisand in the movie Funny Girl, you would know that it was the story of comedienne Fanny Brice.   In the 1930s, Fanny had a rhinoplasty performed in a hotel suite.  She felt that was the best way of keeping it a secret.

    Today, rhinoplasties are not performed in hotel suites and, frankly, they are rarely performed in hospitals.  It is appropriate to perform such a procedure in a credentialed outpatient surgery center or a duly qualified physician’s office surgical suite.
