As public fascination with celebrities continues to grow, many have found themselves under the scrutiny and speculation of having had nose jobs. This article delves into the world of celebrity nose jobs, examining several high-profile individuals rumoured or confirmed to have undergone this procedure.
A nose job, also known as rhinoplasty, is a common cosmetic surgical procedure to reshape or resize the nose to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance or to improve functionality. This procedure, once the preserve of celebrities and the wealthy, has grown in popularity over the years.
Different Kinds of Nose Jobs and Their Costs
There are different kinds of nose jobs, each tailored to the demands and preferences of the individual. The two most popular types of rhinoplasty are aesthetic and functional. Cosmetic rhinoplasty aims to enhance the nose’s look; this may entail reshaping, resizing, or straightening.
On the other side, functional rhinoplasty is done to address problems that impair breathing. The cost of either type might vary significantly based on the procedure’s complexity, the surgeon’s experience, and the patient’s location. The typical price range for a nose job is $5,000 to $10,000.
Celebrity Nose Jobs
Among celebrities who allegedly underwent nose jobs include Bella Hadid, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, and Priyanka Chopra.
Bella Hadid is a famous supermodel known for her appearances in Vogue magazine and she has been open about her rhinoplasty. She said that she had got it at the age of fourteen because she had felt that she was the uglier sister. However, despite her successful super-modelling career, she feels like she regrets the decision because the nose she had was a mark of her Palestinian descent so she felt like she had left behind the “nose of [her] ancestors.”
Jennifer Lopez, on one hand, has been under scrutiny over the years with speculations about a possible nose job. Examining her before and after pictures, the change in her nasal structure is quite apparent, with the nose appearing narrower and the nostrils less flared. Despite the buzz about her nose, Jennifer Lopez has denied on multiple occasions having performed any procedures specifically on her nose although speculation would have it that she has done some form of botox at least.
There are also rumours about Blake Lively having undergone a nose job. A comparison of her earlier images and most recent ones depicts a significant transformation in her facial features, with noticeable refinement and slimming of her nose. She has always been known for her iconic nose which was unique in its way but still fit with her face however, around 2011, it was clear to see that there was work done in order to decrease its size. which she never confirmed.
Similarly, Indian-American actress Priyanka Chopra faced speculation of having undergone a nose job. Her before and after pictures suggest a more streamlined and narrower nose shape than what can be observed from her earlier pictures. However, it would have remained speculation forever if it were not for the fact that she opened up about her history with rhinoplasty. She has disclosed information about her depression after her botched surgery back in the early 2000s in which while doctors were trying to remove a polyp, they cut the nasal bridge by accident. With that, she has taken multiple corrective surgeries in an effort to fix the mistake.
More Celebrities

Dianna Agron, famous for her role in ‘Glee’, has admitted to having not just one but two nose job procedures done in her life. However, it would not have been done out of a need for beauty but it was because, on each occasion, she had to fix the damage to her nose. She disclosed that the first time occurred during a party in high school and the second time followed an incident that happened while she was on tour with ‘Glee.’
