'60% Hollywood actresses go under the knife'

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.
