How Meghan Markle’s Nose Became 2018’s Hottest Look

Meghan Markle's nose is in demand — by women who want their face redone by plastic surgeons to look like Prince Harry's fiancée!

Meghan became a star while sporting a straight sniffer that ends in a petite “button” — with a slight bump that's detectable in profile. That charming imperfection aligns with the current trend toward “all natural” looks. “Patients started coming to me about six months ago requesting Meghan Markle’s nose,” confirmed Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, a New York–based cosmetic surgeon.

“Ms. Markle’s nose is beautiful,” says Dr. Manish H. Shah, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Colorado, “and is definitely a request we see“Celebrities are definitely inspiration for patients seeking elective cosmetic surgery.” And some doctors are saying that it's a great idea for patients to speak out about their favorite celebrity schnoz!

Dr. Jon E. Mendelsohn, of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center in Ohio, says bringing a photo of a famous face to a consultation can be useful. “This does serve as a good communication tool to see what the patient desires — and also to see how realistic they are with expectations,” says Dr. Mendelsohn. “Overall, this is not a bad thing. Most patients know how their face differs.”

But Dr. Franziska Huettner, a Big Apple cosmetic surgeon, cautioned against replicating a celebrity’s facial feature. “I advise my patients not to aim for exactly matching somebody else’s looks, but more so to take them as an inspiration,” said Dr. Huettner. “I tell my patients that everybody is unique in their facial features, and should therefore be treated as such — very unique.”
