I’ve always had a mild fascination with the art of plastic surgery. I’ve never had any cosmetic plastic surgery myself, but I’ve got nothing against someone who has if it makes that person feel better about themselves. Extreme plastic surgery—Jocelyn Wildenstein-level surgical augmentation—is a whole other story, but then again, if that’s what makes her happy, who I am to say… anything?

But what I really find interesting about these “vintage” 1930s nose jobs is how well they’re done. Apparently back then, plastic surgeons were simply better. Instead of carving out the perfect little “one size fits all” Hollywood-approved button nose for everyone, the surgeons gave their patients noses that fit their faces.
