46- year old Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has been compared to that of the Kennedy’s. But would the democratic candidate be quite so handsome without a nose job in his past? Make Me Heal looks at the rumors of an Obama rhinoplasty.
Early pictures of law student Barack Obama reveal a geeky kid with a big nose and hair to match. The nose in his early pictures is quite wide and very round. Fast forwarding several years to the current presidential campaign, and Obama’s nose looks more refined at the tip, which is likely the result of a conservative rhinoplasty procedure.
A reader of Orange County based plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia’s blog, identified as Corey queries, “Since this is a plastic surgery forum. Have you seen Barack prior to his rhinoplasty? Check out the pictures of him while in law school. Very big nose. Wonder if he could have been president with the old nose? He wasn’t very attractive then.”
Dr. Di Saia responds, “It looks like the blogger might be right. The old Barack image features a more rounded nasal tip. His later images look consistent with a minimal tip rhinoplasty to me. It makes for a more “Caucasian” look. Maybe. Nice pickup.”
It does look, however, like he's had his ears enlarged.
He had a black nose before he had a white one?
Nah, looks the same to me, besides it makes him more authentically of slave blood.
Doesn’t look different to me. Plus if you were going to get your nose done, why not have the goofy ears tagged back. too?
Not sure his nose, but he’s got Ted Kennedy’s ideology.
No, his hair just went above his ears is all.
Ouch
He sure looks happy in the picture on the left. Oh, no wonder, he just got lei'd.
Hell, if he were to get plastic surgery, you’d think the first thing he’d get fixed would be those elephant ears.
Age and weight loss could account for this. Not really seeing surgery in this silly claim.
Who’s that lady hugging him in the first pic?
Someone who’s looking at the underside of the bus?
What exactly is Obama’s relationship with Michael Jackson?
Enquiring Swine Want to Know!!

It's subtle, but yeah, there's a difference.
hmm... and his hair... it looks ... i dunno... shorter.
I can’t see any change in the nose, either. You wouldn’t expect the bro to have surgery so’s he looks more like a “typical white person,” would you? Especially after the disastrous results Michael Jackson got with that strategy. The ears look larger because his hair is now cut much shorter, exposing them.
