Did I have a nose job?

**WickedHo** · March 4th, 2006, 12:07 PM

Since I'm always sooo skeptical when it comes to celebrity rhinoplasty, I figured I'd post a coupla pix to give you all an idea of why I'm so skeptical. Because the reality is, when we're comparing pix, it is EXTREMELY RARE that we're comparing photos of a celeb without make-up. And, as far as I'm concerned, that's the only real way to know for sure, as it is entirely possible for the same nose to look radically different depending on: 1) lighting 2) angle of snapshot 3) position of the head 4) facial expression 5) MAKE-UP!

So, I submit to you posters of Gossiprocks: Did I have a nose job??

I say, yes you did.

Here's some Oprah pix. Notice the difference, depending on the above mentioned 5 variables?

ETA: For some reason, I can't get the thumbnails to work, so you can see more here and here and here and here and here.

Wicked, are you smiling big in the first pic and not smiling in the 2nd pic?

**WickedHo** · March 4th, 2006, 01:18 PM

Yep, I'm smiling, but it's not a big smile.

**Algernon** · March 4th, 2006, 01:23 PM

The 2nd pic has makeup?

That is a big difference. I'm gonna say, no nosejob. I'm gonna go experiment with my nose now!!!

Cute nose, btw.

Thanks, Algie! Both photos are sans makeup, btw...

you're smiling in the first pic

and the angle or positioning of your face is different

look at the shadows the glasses cast

^^ EXACTLY!! They're both full-frontal shots, though. I had to get my camera phone close enough to my face to isolate the nose. But, yeah, SVZ, that's why they look different noses, not cuz I had some work done.

Cute nose

And yes - lighting, angle, facial expression and make up can make some features look totally different.

**WickedHo** · March 4th, 2006, 03:26 PM

^^ Thanks! I swear y'all, I've never thought of my nose as "cute." If anything, I'd call it kinda big...

**NHKMM** · March 4th, 2006, 03:27 PM

We need to see the rest of your face to judge

lol

Hmmm... so this proves you didn't have a nose-job, doesn't mean a lot to me!

WH, not for anything, but depending on the lighting, angle, etc... your nose will sometimes appear as in the 1st photo, thenn in some pics your nose will appear as in the 2nd in the first pics, etc... It's highly unlike your photos from now on will forever show your nose in the 2nd picture as suspiciously happens to celebs.

^^ The point was to show how it is virtually impossible to know for sure if a celeb got rhinoplasty solely by looking at photos UNLESS the photos being compared are 1) the same angle 2) the same lighting 3) the same expression 4) taken without make-up. Otherwise, what appears to be a subtle nosejob is actually nothing at all (as in the cases of Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie, for instance).
