Who are you and what you did with Jennifer Grey?

After her role in the film hit Dirty Dancing (1987), actress Jennifer Grey had a nose job (rhinoplasty) to remove the bump from her nose. For many, this change on her look cost her nothing less than her career.

It is true that her bridge has a dorsal hump very obvious, but it was such a part of her that even some friends fail to recognize her after the surgery.  Looking at the pictures, we can see that it was a good plastic surgery as the nose looks natural, but she looks like somebody else indeed.

She commented in an interview for Channel 5 (UK) that having plastic surgery on her nose was the worst mistake she had ever made. Grey felt this way because she was no longer recognizable as the girl from the film Dirty Dancing (1987), just somebody who looked a bit like her.  Some other stars have received the same comments after having plastic surgery making it call sometimes the "Jennifer Grey" syndrome, celebrities as Ashlee Simpson and Ashley Tisdale from "High School Musical"

I think what many of you are missing is that she doesn't look different because she had a nose job. She looks different because she had a BAD nose job, and it required a ton of additional surgery to be fixed. If the first nose job had gone how it was supposed to, she wouldn't have looked so "different". But because the first job was messed up, Dr's were forced to change her overall appearance to make her face look like a normal face.

She is and was a beautiful woman. I wish she hadn't gotten the nose job done because I believe she would have went on to make more great mevies. It's hard to believe a nose job can change the way you look so drastically!

What's wrong with some of you. Jennifer Grey doesn't look generic now, she looks absolutely beautiful. You people must have perfect, nice straight noses to not understand how she felt. A woman doesn't want to just look cute and be known for a mis-shapen nose. A woman wants to be beautiful. And now she is.

It's so sad that a person has to feel she must change what makes her unique. I do believe she is sorry that she did it.

That´s what i always said, why the hell is everybody thinking that he or she has to be look perfect? When Dirty Dancing came out, everybody liked Jennifer Grey and thought she was cute and beautiful. Nobody actually takes notice about her nose!
Next time when you´re thinking about a nose job, think at Jennifer Grey and what it had brought to her. Or think about Barbra Streisand. She has a really big and eye-catching nose, but does someone cares? no! does it damaged her career? no!

I thought she was beautiful, with her infamous nose. Too bad she had it done, she probably felt insecure for a long time, If she chose to do it good for her, but in this case, maybe this "baby" will stand in the corner!

I think some of you are missing the point. It's not about whether Jennifer Grey looks prettier or not post rhinoplasty. It's about the fact she could not cash in afterwards with the success she had managed to build on Dirty Dancing because no one recognizes her anymore. She now looks like just another pretty face -- which is a dime o' dozen in Hollywood.

Look at Mickey Rourke. That guy looks really messed up now and could only get a job if they remade Frankenstein.

I thought Jennifer was ADORABLE before her nose job...sometimes people forget that physical imperfections, subtle or obvious, can be very attractive. Her nose helped her to stand out from other actresses. Now her new nose makes her appear to have a different personality, whether her actual personality has changed or not. It's too bad. She still looks pretty, but not as pretty as before.

To change a face like that... It really demands courage. Because she's so changed, almost unrecognizable... But let's face it. If the plastic surgery ruined her career or not... the truth is that she's much prettier now.

Oh my god!!!!
Plastic surgery has helped many celebrities in their careers, although for some their careers were ruined. The best example is actress Jennifer Grey, famous for her role in Dirty Dancing in the 1980’s. Despite her acting talent, Jennifer believed that she had to make her nose perfect and remove any irregularity from it. But when she did so she ceased getting acting offers because nobody could recognise the famous actress any more. Although less than perfect, her nose gave her face character. After she corrected it Jennifer just blended into the mass of faceless and uninteresting actresses.

This has to be one of the all-time "classic tradgedies" of plastic surgery.

A stunning woman with a unique look chooses to go for a more "plain, generic" look.

Very sad.
