Alexa Ray Joel is the new face and hair of Prell Shampoo (They still make that?!), but the resume-boosting gig isn’t the only new thing taking up residence in Alexa’s life these days. Look closely at the 24-year-old celebuspawn and you may notice something distinctly different about her once prominent nose.
Alexa, an aspiring singer and the only daughter of iconic supermodel Christie Brinkley and musician Billy Joel, underwent rhinoplasty — that’s Hollwood speak for “a nose job” — earlier this month, and the brunette says she never felt better after seeing the finished product, crafted by NYC-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe.
“I was thinking about getting this for years,” says Alexa, whose looks have made her the target of ridicule on the blogosphere for years. “I was self-conscious of pictures taken from the side. To some people that’s vain, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel pretty,” she adds. “Would I do anything else to my body? No. It’s not ten procedures like Heidi Montag. For me, that’s a little extreme, but to each her own.”
Alexa notes that she is in good health since being hospitalized following an alleged overdose last December.
