March 10, 2004 -- When Vogue magazine declared Nicole Kidman a fashion icon, they were not just referring to her choice of haute couture clothes. Everything about Ms. Kidman is now an example of work that cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists aspire to: a body as thin as a whippet, perfect hip to waist to bust ratio, a sun free complexion and that face!

But many surgeons suggest that that face had a little help throughout the years. Says one New York based reconstructive surgeon who prefers her name not be used: "If you look at her carefully at the 2001 Oscars, she has that pulled up slightly puffy look around her eyes. A lot of people thought that's because she had been up all night crying over Tom Cruise, but in fact that is a sure sign of the post-operative effects of an eye-lift."

"She is probably having a little here, a little there done, to slowly offset the signs of aging. That way, when she reaches fifty, she wont really need a full facelift. It's not a bad strategy, but requires a lot of time commitment."

Says another plastic surgeon based out of Toronto: "A lot of people come in and says they want Nicole Kidman's nose, but in fact, I doubt she has her own nose. Look carefully at pictures of her in the eighties, there was a slight bump on the top of her nose, which is no longer the case."
