If you would like to change the shape and appearance of your nose, you can undergo a rhinoplasty or you can get a non-surgical nose job that uses dermal fillers. Let’s take a look at how each of these works.

This blog post explains the difference between the two types of rhinoplasty, open and closed, while emphasizing the advantages of both.

What could Alexa Ray Joel, Lisa Rinna and Jane Fonda all have in common in 2010?  They are Dr. Vitolo's top three  pics for great results in plastic surgery.  Alexa Ray Joel, underwent a subtle rhinoplasty that she confessed to "People Magazine," stating, " I was thinking about getting this for years.  I was always self-concious about how I looked in photos."  Dr. Vitolo feels that the rhinoplasty will do wonders for the Ms. Joel's self-esteem and confidence and we all wish her luck in the New Year!

Computer imaging technology can manipulate photos to predict what the results of a nose job will look like. This has been shown to facilitate patient satisfaction after rhinoplasty.

According to recently released statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty was ranked as the  most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for teenagers in 2009.  We asked board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Vitolo, why this might be, "After about the age of 16, a person's nose is fully developed and does not continue to change much.  If at that stage in their life  a young person is unhappy with their appearance, it makes sense to have nose surgery, sooner rather than later, because the nose will not change much over time and surgical intervention is the only way to revise its look."  Dr. Vitolo added, "  A rhinoplasty can improve self-confidence in younger patients and do wonders for their self-esteem."

Yes, its true, Marilyn Monroe's arresting starlet looks had a little help from plastic surgery.  We spoke to board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Vitolo in his Manhatten office about Monroe's surgical history.  Dr. Vitolo explained that the buxom blond bomb shell underwent a rhinoplasty around 1948 to alter the tip of her nose.  Several years later in 1950 she opted for a chin implant to balance out her facial features............and yes, ultimately, the divine Miss Marilyn did have breast augmentation.  As we all know, it was that procedure that is credited for her now legendary curves.

Legendary looks are not something to just dream about.  Release the inner starlet in you........

What do Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Ashely Simpson & Ashton Kutcher all Have in Common?........ask Dr. Vitolo!  Take a good look at these celebrites in the early years of their careers and then fast forward to today.  They all share one thing in common.  Each one of them has had "work" done on their nose.
