The majority of actresses in Hollywood have had cosmetic surgery, according to one surgeon.
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Raj Kanodia estimated that around 60 per cent of leading ladies have attempted to enhance their appearance, reports DailyIndia.com.
Mr Kanodia claims to have performed rhinoplasty procedures - otherwise known as nose jobs - on Cameron Diaz, Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Aniston.
High School Musical Star Ashley Tisdale recently went under the knife to have a nose job, following a deviated septum, she told People magazine.
Cosmetic surgeons can change the shape of an individual''s nose by adjusting the framework of the nose over which the skin is draped, explains the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
The association reports that this type of surgery increased by 18 per cent between 2005 and 2006, and it continues to remain the favourite form of cosmetic surgery among men in the UK.

Angelina Jolie is one unhappy quasi-Pitt family member, according to a new cover story report from Star Magazine. It appears that Jennifer Aniston will be spending some time with the Pitt's over the Holidays and the cover claims that the surprise invitation from Brad's mom has Angelina "Postal."
The magazine has a smiling Jennifer on the cover and a stressed out looking photo of Brad and Angie and the sub-head claims that Brad is caught in the middle between his family his girlfriend, and his ex-wife.
An insider details to the magazine that Jane has given Jennifer the invitation to her Missouri home as the two remain close. There were earlier reports before the turkey day celebration that Jen and Angelina might actually cross paths in Missouri over Thanksgiving, but Brad and Angelina remained in California.
Jolie has already stated that she will be in Louisiana for Christmas. That's where she and Brad are and Pitt is making the rounds promoting his "Make it Right" project in New Orleans and last night changed his story again when he appeared with host Larry King on when the Jolie-Pitt romance bloomed. (That interview airs tonight). When King asked him about an emotional connection on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Pitt now claims that is not where the romance began.
Michael K has that video and lots of discussion here and notes that Larry said "when you're getting emotionally involved with someone you're working with..." and Brad quickly cut him off and said, "Well, that came after Larry. That came after." Uh huh. Angie's got him well-trained, Michael adds.
Brad also said he never really fights with Angelina. "We challenge each other and have good fun with that. She is a woman of strong opinion and very specific beliefs and a great voice." How great was that voice when she found out about the invitation?
MADISON, Wisconsin: All Jevon Jackson wanted was to hang a picture of actress Jennifer Aniston in his room.
But because his room was a cell at a Wisconsin prison, the warden would not allow it. Jackson took his case to U.S. court, where a judge ruled Wednesday in favor of the prison — but offered the inmate advice on how to get a picture of the TV and movie star.
Jackson, a murderer, had ordered a commercial picture of Aniston, who starred on the television series "Friends."
The prison has a policy against inmates receiving, and thus displaying, commercially published photographs. It adopted the policy in 2006 because of the increasing volume of mail — some 1,500 pieces of mail a day, according to prison officials.
The commercially published photos often contained nudity or other forbidden content such as gang symbols, officials told the court.
Jackson, 30, argued that it did not make sense to disallow commercial photographs but at the same time allow magazines that could contain hundreds of images.
Inmates are allowed to display pictures of non-celebrity friends and relatives, as well as photos published in magazines. Neither Jackson nor the prison said there was anything inappropriate about the photo he wanted to display.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the prison's policy was reasonable — and Jackson could always get around it by ordering magazines.
Even though Aniston may not be in every issue he subscribed to, the court said, "the likelihood of an eventual photograph of her is sufficiently high to suffice as an alternative."
A spokesman for the state prison system referred questions to the state attorney general's office, which handled the case. A spokesman for that department did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Brad Pitt loves his children and never fights with his partner -- boooooring!
We kid, but in a new interview with seven-times-married Larry King, Pitt talks about rebuilding New Orleans, and his perfect family, saying they make him "so proud."
Though the interview, airing tomorrow, is semi-standard fare for the hunky father of 4, King did hit the sexbomb with a hot one -- saying Brad started getting "emotionally involved" with Angelina when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, something Brad has always denied. See Brad's fast response.
Hollywood megastar Brad Pitt has publicly refuted for the first time the long-standing rumours he cheated on his former wife Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie while filming "Mr and Mrs Smith", Daily Mail reported.
In an interview with US talk show host Larry King, the actor hit back at suggestions he launched the relationship with his now partner before his marriage was over.
Brad first met Angelina on the set of action movie in 2004, and his marriage to America's Sweetheart Jennifer was over several months later.
He was quickly inseparable from Angelina, and the couple are now parents to four children - the adopted Maddox, Pax, Zahara and the couple's biological daughter Shiloh.
"It's the hardest job in the world and the most rewarding job in the world. To go home and have dinner with your kids and have to discipline one of them who's out of line and still have the energy for that, I can't explain the fulfillment of that but it is everything," Brad shared.
Brad appeared on the show to promote his Make It Right project, which features plans to build 150 eco-friendly homes for families devastated by Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans in 2005.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have a frosty Christmas after Jennifer Aniston was reportedly invited to the Pitt family celebration.
Jolie allegedly went ballistic after discovering Pitt’s mum, Jane, had invited Aniston to join them for Christmas in Springfield, Missouri.
Jane and Bill Pitt have remained good friends with Aniston despite the 2005 breakdown of her marriage to their son.
“It’s an awkward situation. Angelina has been furious about the impending get-together since
Brad let the cat out of the bag,” an insider told Star magazine.
“She let him have it, blasting that she thinks Jen’s spending Christmas with them is totally inappropriate.
“Jane’s heart goes out to Jennifer. She knows how lonely Jen is. And Jen trusts Jane, and she thinks of the Pitts as family. Brad accepts that.”
And Brad’s brother Doug, and sister, Julie, share the warmth towards Aniston.
“They still think of her as a sister. Brad’s nieces and nephews love Jen too.”
But that has not carried any favour with Angelina, with whom Brad has three adopted children and one biological child.
“She (Angelina) thinks Jen’s relationship with Jane is unhealthy.
“She’s made it clear she won’t be anywhere near Jen. So if Jen shows up in Springfield for Christmas, Angie sure won’t.
“Angelina was livid. When she gets mad, she really gets mad. She got in Brad’s face and said she thought it was disrespectful.
“Her nose has been out of joint ever since he told her about it.
“Angie isn’t helping by keeping her distance from Brad’s family.
“She flew with Brad into Springfield on the morning of Thanksgiving for a brief stay and was supposed to help with dinner, but she didn’t.
“She didn’t really socialize with the family. While Brad spent time in the kitchen with his mum and sister, Angie stayed with the kids.”
But Jane, 66, is reportedly not fazed by Jolie’s anger. “She is still very close to and friendly with Jen. And that’s causing big trouble for Brad.
“It’s a tough spot to be in. Brad feels he has to respect the relationship between his mum and Jennifer.
“He still cares about Jen, and that just makes the situation even more precarious because Angelina is enraged by what she calls Jen’s ‘interference.’ It’s causing major friction.”
