From Popular Science Magazine, 1937. The enduring popularity of the nose job stems from a fear of looking "ethnic". The definition of beauty has thankfully expanded in recent years to include all ethnicities but we are still bombarded with images of celebrities with their trimmed, "anglo" noses.
In the early part of this century there was a concerted effort to market cosmetics and cosmetic surgery via the newly coined "inferiority complex". Not happy with your skin, hair, figure or nose? We have lotions, potions, powder, exercise devices and surgery to correct these problems!
