Hollywood and Deviated Septum Surgery

Hollywood is full of actors and actresses that have gone under the knife to have deviated septum surgery or some related nose surgery. It is almost as common to have a nose job as it is to have a physical. There are many that have done it for the sake of looks and there are those that have needed them because of health reasons. What ever the reason the jury is out on whether or not it has helped or hurt their career.

The list of Hollywood stars that have gone under the knife for one reason or another is obviously many. If one was trying to find a statistic of how many have had some surgery or another, the statistic that would stand out more is who hasn’t gone under the knife for deviated septum surgery and other surgeries, than those that have.

Some of the most notable actresses that have had deviated septum surgery include Jennifer Aniston, and Cameron Diaz. Again whether it was necessary or whether it affected their looks the jury is still out. Either way so far it doesn’t appear that their careers have suffered as a result.


The one actress whose career suffered as a result of nose surgery was Jennifer Grey. Many will remember her from her most notable movies being Dirty Dancing, and Red Dawn. After her role in the film Dirty Dancing, Grey decided to have a nose job to remove the bump from her nose.


It is true that the bridge of her nose, had a bump on it, and it was well noticed, but that nose was who she was, and it was a part of her. It was so much a part of her that even some friends didn’t really recognize her once she recovered from her surgery.





There are plenty enough pictures and “Access Hollywood” type interviews out there to see that the results of her surgery have almost literally changed her look to be another person all together


In an interview after her surgery she stated that the surgery on her nose was the “worst mistake she had ever made”. She stated that she didn’t look like the girl from dirty dancing, just someone who somewhat resembled that girl.


There are some more recent starlets that have received similar comments since going under the knife for deviate septum surgery and other operations. A phrase has come out nicknamed the "Jennifer Grey" syndrome, which has been attached to celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson and Ashley Tisdale from "High School Musical.
