Natalie Portman's plastic surgery

If she did surgically change her nose, this would explain why, and why it's barely even detectable. I'm kinda sorta starting to think that she did (so your efforts weren't in vain!) but at the same time, I find it hard to believe because it was so completely unnecessary. I can't tell the difference unless I compare the last four pix you provided! And even then, I had to spend a few minutes with a ruler studying each photo closely, for piss' sake!

Holy moly, I can die now! I feel really stupid spending so much time on this, but it just pisses me off for some reason. I don't really care about other celebrity's ps, hers just really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. I think I need to lay off the internet for a couple of days...

On the last pic posted, her head looks bigger in the pic on the left, she looks as though shes more forward in the picture. You can still line up features even this way. But the overall shape of the nose is the exact same. There is no difference, and it doesn't look thinner. See:



^2006 left pic, 2002 right. Yes I know the angles aren't exactly the same and the lighting is different, etc.

Yeah...her nose looks the same in both pics...

^^Uh, except that the faces don't line up because the "after" image is considerably larger than the before image.

So what? Wouldn't that mean the after pic the nose would look bigger? It looks the exact same as the one on the right, cept slightly larger because her head is more infront. From these pictures its 100% obvious to tell the shape has not changed, if you think otherwize your looking for something that just isn't there. And what are the quotation marks for? It's an after pic!

Ok, so the "after" pic is larger, thus making the before image smaller, and the nose in the smaller before image is supposed to be larger than the one in the bigger "after" image? Look, I really don't care if you think she's had a nose job or not or if you want Natalie to be your very best friend because she's just so perfect and great, but it does bother me that you make no sense.

Uh no? So one is slightly larger, so what? You brought it up, I didn't say the pictures were in perfect line with eachother, infact I actually said they're not. I was just meaning that the nose looks slightly larger in the after pic because shes more forward. And thats what would happen to anyone's features. Other than that, it's the exact same nose. I don't care either whether shes had surgery or not I just find it extremely weird how anyone would think those two noses are different.

I still am not convinced. When I was younger I would practice poses. I have a ski slope nose but wanted a straighter nose so I would often flex my nose to straighten the tip down for pictures which also makes it look narrower.
Also, in the nearly convincing picture comparison her head looks slightly tilted upward. You also can not discount photo editing, makeup and lighting. Her head also appears rounder around the temples and the indent abover her lip looks narrower.

Then cross over to The Dark Side!! Don't believe the hype! Convince yourself that she's had no work done!

As The Mayor of Wrongtown, I extend to you an open invitation to come for a visit. We have a lovely mall if shopping's your thing, not to mention the most delectable barbecue this side of the Mason-Dixon line! Just mention my name and you'll get an automatic 10% discount on all purchases. The catch, however, is that you have to take an oath and forsake your belief that Natalie Portman's nose has been tweaked.

See, this is why I'm not fully 100% convinced. The only picture that makes me suspect she may possibly have had something done is the one that looks like a photo negative. The bridge of her nose looks smaller, but barely. I had to break out the ruler to see that it's thinner, but only slightly.

she didn't do any f+ckin surgery at least in those pix

In this one (a corrected picture) they are the same size (check the eye level). The lines drawn prove that the size of her nose is same in both pictures.



Still, the pictures are not from the same angle. They might look like it at first, but if you examine the picture very carefully, you'll notice that her head is tilted a tiny bit more upward in the alleged "after" picture.

And of course the lighting and all makes a big difference...

Besides, rhinoplasty is not an exact science. It's not easy to just make the nose smaller without altering the shape. I think that if she'd had a nosejob, it would show on the shape of the nose as well.

It's funny how nowadays people see plasticsurgery everywhere, even there where it doesn't exist.

[Somerset]

If you invert the colors so as to see the contours of her face, the after nose is still obviously smaller. And you obviously don't seem to know much about rhinoplasty because it's very easy to narrow the bridge without affecting anything else. And her nose does look like it's a different shape to me anyway, there are lines on the sides of her nostrils in the before pic that aren't there in the after pic. I'm done with this thread anyhoo, it's getting repetitive.

I know a lot about rhinoplasty, I've had one and I know people who've had it too.
How is the "after" nose obviously smaller? Show me, measure it for me.
The lines on the sides of her nostrils are just a shadow. As you can see, there's much more contrast in the first pic and that's why the shadows are stronger.

And you obviously don't seem to know much about lighting.

By the way, my sister (who looks quite a bit like Natalie) seemed to have a bigger nose when she was in her teens. The bridge of her nose looked wider and the whole nose seemed fuller. Now she's 24 years old and her nose looks so much thinner and sharper. And she definitely had no surgery.
The appearance of a nose CAN change a lot through the years.

It's the EXACT same nose in both pics.

I like her. I think it's mostly her acting though but not counting her work in Star Wars cause she sucked in that one. Isn't some incredible beauty to me but she is pretty. And I don't see plastic surgery at all in the pics.
