Jennifer Aniston’s nose
No, you cannot have Jennifer Aniston’s nose unless by some fluke your’s is close to her’s now. Each patient has different tissues, bone and cartilage structures, and skin.
Consequently you should seek an expert (ie Drs. Gunter and Cochran in Dallas) and ask them what you could expect from surgery.
(Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
Requesting a celebrity rhinoplasty
A physician would not get mad about the request. It is important to understand that the nose of another individual is tailored to that individual.
You may be inclined to point out aspects of that individuals nose that you like, and ask your physician to try and obtain a similar effect.
But ultimately, it comes down to what is the best fitting nose for your face. (Paul S. Nassif, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
We need to sculpt what you have and we can not always give you what you want.
You need to have reasonable expectations and it is best if you look like an improved you not someone else. (William B. Rosenblatt, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
Computer Imaging is the best tool for you to see what you’ll look like after Rhinoplasty Surgery.
Computer Imaging is essential for your surgeon and for you. It helps your surgeon know that expectations are realistic, and it gives you a very close visual of what to expect after surgery.
I personally do not find photos of someone else’s nose helpful in the evaluation and management of my prospective Rhinoplasty patients.
I do bring my morphed, Computer Images to the OR, and try my best to meet the expectations that were established. (Eric M. Joseph, MD, West Orange Facial Plastic Surgeon)
It is very helpful to a surgeon in that you are communicating what you like.
If you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon he will explain that it gives him a starting point. However, that nose on your face may be inappropriate and not “fit your face”. Look for a surgeon whoose overall rhinoplasties you like and are natural appearing. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Celebrity Rhinoplasty
The short answer is no, it will not happen. Your anatomy will limit what can and can not be done with your nose. It wall depends are what we are trying to address. You can tell your plastic surgeon what you like about a certain nose and bring pictures with you, but to thing that you would have a nose like a certain person is unrealistic. I would recommend you stay away from any surgeon that will tell you, yes I can get it to look just like hers, not true. (Farbod Esmailian, MD, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)
You have a say in your rhinoplasty result.
What you are really asking is : “After the rhinoplasty, can my nose look like this? (and show picture)”. That’s a perfectly reasonable request. It is up to an experienced plastic surgeon to inform you
- if, given the anatomy of your nose, it is possible to make it look close to the picture, and
- if, given your overall face, that particular type of nose would look natural and attractive on you. (George J. Beraka, MD (retired), Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty, I’d Like to Order a #2 Jennifer Aniston, Please Hold the Michael Jackson
You can ask for Jennifer Aniston’s nose, but I don’t think that she will be willing to give it to you. Thanks for your question, it actually comes up in practice often. A rhinoplasty is not a haircut. Everyone’s nose and facial structure is different.
You can show your rhinoplasty surgeon noses that are pleasing to you to give an idea of what you like. Your surgeon will be able to tell you how close he or she can come to achieve those goals, but unless you are Jen’s identical twin, don’t expect her exact nose. (Michael A. Persky, MD, Encino Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Getting Jennifer Aniston’s nose
You CAN ask this question – most of us are used to such questions. Personally, I prefer to have people come in with pictures of noses, breasts, etc. That they like and, more importantly, those they do not like.
Such pictures not only tell me what the person’s beauty ideals and goals are but also tell me just how realistic they are.
For example, if a man walked into my office looking like the Phantom of the Opera but pulled out a folder of male models with pictures of Brad Pitt, Rob Lowe, George Clooney etc – I would know that I could never meet his needs. (Peter A. Aldea, MD, Memphis Plastic Surgeon)
Jennifer Aniston’s nose
Unfortunately, you can not ask for a specific nose like someone else. Everyone’s anatomy is a bit different so it is impossible to recreate the exact look. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
