Jennifer Grey, an American actress, has discussed how rhinoplasty affected her fame.
In “Out of the Corner,” Grey, who is best known for playing Baby in the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing,” discusses her struggles with her nose, which she claims has shaped, defined, and eventually destroyed her career.
The 62-year-old actress talked to People Magazine to promote her upcoming memoir, Out of the Corner. She said that after her meteoric rise to fame in 1987, she had two rhinoplasty procedures that made her look so different that she was almost unrecognizable.

For those of you who don’t know, the 1987 release of Dirty Dancing catapulted to fame and fortune a former member of If The Shoe Fits. Grey, at only 26 years old, underwent plastic surgery to alter her nose.
It was her first time getting a rhinoplasty. Here is a picture of Grey before her surgery, with her natural look.
However, after going under the knife twice, her look changed completely. After her operation, Grey posed for some photos, which you can see here.
What Did Jennifer Have To Say About Getting Plastic Surgery Done?
The 62-year-old actress recently discussed the effect her nose job has had on her career in a new interview with People. She also claimed that after gaining fame and fortune in 1987, she underwent not one, but two rhinoplasty procedures.
Jen told everyone that she went to a movie premiere after the surgery and that her close friend Michael Douglas didn’t recognize her because she looked so different.
Grey remarked, “That was the first time I had gone out in public.” And it became the thing, the idea of being absolutely invisible from one day to the next. In the world’s view, I was no longer me.
Jennifer Grey all grown up! I was shocked to see she was 27 when she played Baby, 59 now! Apparently she regrets the nose job but I think she's looking fabulous! pic.twitter.com/9FXSqZ8I4S

The Hollywood actor further remarked, “I genuinely believed it was capitulating.” I honestly thought it meant surrendering to the enemy camp. I just thought, ‘I’m good enough. I shouldn’t have to do this.’ That’s really what I felt. ‘I’m pretty enough.’
People close to Jennifer Grey made her feel self-conscious about her nose.
Jennifer Grey reveals in the same interview with People Magazine that everyone, including Andy Warhol, would criticize the appearance of her nose before surgery and that the artist even mentioned that her father, Oscar-winning actor Joel Grey, had also had work done on his nose.
