Jennifer Zealof, 23, is the front-desk manager of a trendy downtown hotel. As one of the first people to greet arriving guests, she is, in a sense, the face of the hotel. Last winter, she decided that face wasn't quite up to snuff. She worried that her appearance wasn't living up to the visibility of her position.
"My nose was too long, and went down when I smiled, like a beak,'' explains Zealof, who commutes daily from Long Island.
Her solution: Natalie Portman's small, elegant nose.
She went to Manhattan plastic surgeon Alan Matarasso to make the transformation.

"My friends want to look like Kim Kardashian, but I think Natalie Portman is more natural and elegant," says Zealof.
"She's so pretty, and now I have a natural beauty like she does. Before, because of my nose, I was a little shy, but now I'm more confident and my interaction with guests is smoother.''
Zealof isn't the only one looking at famous features as a kind of wish list. Everyone from NYC plastic surgeons and dermatologists to dentists, brow groomers and lash specialists are being visited by clients armed with a photograph of the star whose look they covet.
In the past, it was Nicole Kidman's nose and Jennifer Aniston's hair that women were after. No more.
These days, New Yorkers covet the dark-and-sultry look.
"People are swinging toward looking more natural, which is one of the reasons they are veering away from blond,'' says dermatologist Paul Jarrod Frank. "That bleached or highlighted look is associated with having work done, and nobody in New York wants to look like one of those 'Housewives' from any state. They want to look like they haven't done anything — and that takes a lot of effort, by the way.''
One of the reasons many celebrities look so good in photos is due to their sharp, squared-off jawlines.
Twenty-nine-year-old Chelsea resident Melanie Segal was getting married to a man obsessed with Jennifer Garner, so she went to Manhattan cosmetic dermatologist Howard Sobel, in an attempt to look as close to her fiancé's ideal as possible.
"[My fiancé] thought I looked similar [to Garner], but I didn't have her really strong jaw, so to surprise him before the wedding, I changed it," says Segal.
Sobel injected Radiesse, which is made from the same substance as bones and teeth, to create that definition, and then tightened the skin around it with a laser.
"It was a huge difference right away, and I sent my fiancé a photo looking just like Jennifer Garner, with a note that said, 'I heard you are a big fan of mine.' "
