Meghan Markle: her nose more and more requested from cosmetic surgeons
Like Kate Middleton a few years ago, more and more patients are taking Meghan Markle's nose as a model for their rhinoplasty.
The Meghan Markle effect is on. If, like Kate Middleton, what she wears is irreparably out of stock, as for her future sister-in-law, her nose is all the rage ... as an example of rhinoplasty.
Asked by Allure, Stephen T. Greenberg, New York plastic surgeon, said that "for six months", more and more patients ask him the same nose as the interpreter of Rachel Zane in the series "Suits", recently engaged to Prince Harry. A phenomenon that Kate Middleton also experienced a few years ago.
Meghan Markle has even surpassed the current title holders of the most requested noses, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, according to the surgeon. For him, the interest of Meghan Markle's nose lies in its symmetrical structure, its straight profile and its upturned tip: “She has a very pretty nose, but I think what makes her beauty is not totally perfect. In profile, you can see that she has a tiny bump that is almost undetectable when you look at her from the front. ”
"We teach you that this is an alarm signal, that they should not be operated on"
Asked by the American version of the Huffington Post about how to treat people who want to look like celebrities and the ethical questions that this raises, American surgeon Ramtin Kassir believes that this approach is far from problematic.
During his studies, we teach the surgeon that a person bringing a photo of a star as a model must worry him: “You are taught that this is a warning signal, that they should not be operated on. " As the operations progress, however, the surgeon is less and less in tune with this statement: "I want them to bring some, it's better than when they don't and then have unrealistic expectations. Once they bring her I can tell them "Yeah, I think your facial features are similar to Angelina Jolie's and your nose is doable (...) But you can't look like Scarlett. Johansson (...) it's unrealistic "".
When the desire to beautify turns to obsession
Doctor Philip J. Miller, another surgeon interviewed by the Huffington Post, also believes that this urge to look like a star is not unhealthy: "It's just that these people find these people beautiful and want to imitate their features" , he explains.
The urge to beautify oneself can become problematic when it turns into an obsession with transformation. A problem that often happens to patients who are self-conscious about their too thin lips, who do not see the limit: "The patient will always want more". For him, it also becomes a real problem when the patient wants to change everything about him so badly that he "wishes to modify one of his physical characteristics which nevertheless suits him very well".
