Celebrity Plastic Surgery: Riki's Rhinoplasty

Awful Plastic Surgery reports that Ricki Lake has gotten a nose job and that it's looking none too pretty. The writer of the post happened to be a fan of Ricki's original nose. But it isn't just that they think the work shouldn't have been done, they say that the nose surgery was done badly:

"Too much was taken off original nose to try and create a cute little button nose. That in itself is the essence of bad rhinoplasty. Good rhinoplasty merely refines what is already there."


That's a true statement. Rhinoplasty is a fairly simple procedure. It's a common form of celebrity plastic surgery which can make a major difference to a face in no time at all. But it has to be done correctly or it ends up looking like … well, is it bad to keep going back to Michael Jackson as the prime example of celebrity plastic surgery gone wrong?

Done correctly, a nose job reshapes what's already there to create more attractive angles for the face. In the case of the celebrity nose job, the re-shaping is designed specifically to make the angles of the face look more favorable in photographs. Reduction is common for a nose job, since most people who get rhinoplasty want a smaller nose. But it's more about the shape than the size. And it's more about you liking it than anyone else so as long as Ricki is happy with her schnoz, who are we to talk?
