ASK DOCTOR YAGODAQuestion: I’m Asian and my nose is spread wide on my face and it is short. Can a rhinoplasty reshape my nose slightly without making me look American?
Answer: I am strongly committed to preserving and enhancing one’s identity, while maintaining ethnicity. Nostrils can be made smaller with an alar base reduction and the nose can be subtly made more prominent with an implant.
It may come as no surprise that when considering nasal cosmetic 
surgery, many people request to have a nose like Natalie Portman’s. After all, we know how strong the desire is to look like celebrities. It is a common lay aspiration. But did you know that it’s not only plain folk that want celebrity features? That’s right!
Pictured here is Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry, both beautiful and striking with such a close resemblance. Take a look at how much these pairs of celebs resemble each other, here.

ASK DR. YAGODAQuestion: How drastically will a rhinoplasty procedure change my look? I’m a 38-year-old man and I just got promoted to Vice President. I don’t want people to notice but I’d like to finally make a change.

ASK DR. YAGODAQuestion: I’m a 35-year-old Black female with a history of bad scars. Will I still be a candidate for rhinoplasty or nose job surgery?
Answer: Yes. The good news is that the face usually heals better than any other location! In addition, many cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures can be performed by a plastic surgeon with no external scar at all. Lastly, many new techniques can be used to reduce the likelihood of scar formation after surgery. Bottom line? You should be fine!

ASK DR. YAGODAQuestion: Can a rhinoplasty or nose job surgery make my nose look like the model’s nose in this magazine ad?
Answer: That depends on how many similarities you have with the model you have selected. Each feature on your face indirectly impacts the other structures. For example, if you desire a cosmetic procedure that will reduce a large bump on the nose, that may transform eyes that looked close together and make them appear more normally spaced. In fact, the eyes haven’t changed position at all. If you have similar facial structures, and your skin is similar, results may be imitated by a skilled plastic surgeon. It is not possible to look exactly the same, but there may be a resemblance.
