Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, who was hospitalized for an overdose of Traumeel (homeopathic medication) late last year, revealed she feels better, more confident and she underwent a rhinoplasty, which mean she got a nose job, earlier this month (photos below).

“I was thinking about getting this for years,” says Joel. Her nose, she adds, “always bothered me a little bit. 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.”

It’s not vain if it really affects you deeply in an emotional level and you are not obsessed with the perfect symmetry, perfect body. Besides a nose job is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure for both men and women and it’s also typically done for health reasons.

Alexa added, “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.” The 24 year-old feels like this was the perfect opportunity and timing, saying, “Would it have been smart to get this procedure last year? No. I didn’t know who I was. And now? I feel really good.”
