Nose Reshaping

When cosmetic surgery procedures began becoming popular, the look for the actors and Hollywood celebrities was subtle and natural.  Nose reshaping and work on chin surgery were very popular in the early years.  Actors like Dean Martin, Clarke Gable, and Marilyn Monroe have all had work done, but none of these classic actors looked unnatural or ridiculous after the surgery was completed. 

Cosmetic Surgery of The Past

Typically the surgery that a celebrity of the past would have involved correcting a flaw that made them feel uncomfortable.  For instance, Marilyn Monroe had her nose done before she became a big celebrity and Clark Gable had his ears worked on because they made him feel uncomfortable.  Dean Martin had work done on his nose and the effect was so subtle that it probably only mattered to him.  Work like cheek surgery, nose reshaping and chin surgery were the popular procedures in the past among celebrities. Work on the body was virtually unheard of in those days and the only way to achieve the body that a celebrity wanted was through exercise and diet.  It was not possible to have the fat sucked out of the body in those days and many actors worked very hard to keep up their appearance. 

Current Cosmetic Surgery Trends

Today's celebrities have more types of surgery to choose from than simple nose reshaping.  The celebrity of today is able to find a surgeon who will tighten up their tummy, suck the fat out and give them a youthful look long after the years when they should begin to show their age. Today's celebrity has surgery on their body to obtain the unnatural look that is so popular today.  Women are seeking a look that involves being extremely thin but have very large breasts at the same time.  When you look at a woman like Marilyn Monroe, you will see a voluptuous woman who was well proportioned all over.  Her look was not exceptionally thin, but it was beautiful because she was balanced and proportioned.  She just was lucky enough to have a voluptuous figure that she played up to the audience.

While there have been many advances in cosmetic surgery that move beyond the simple nose reshaping surgery that was popular in the past, the look that was popular during the golden years of Hollywood was much more natural and beautiful.  It is a shame that we cannot go back to this healthier appearance in our Hollywood celebrities when cosmetic surgery was used just to correct a flaw rather than create a whole new look.
