Nosey News - Insured Noses

As hilarious as it may sound there are people who have actually gone and insured their noses.

 

Dutch wine-maker Ilja Gort probably claims the highest amount of money for his insured nose with £3.9 million. In a profession where the senses of smell and taste are valued as much as the wines they sample, this is a completely justified move.

 

Insured with help from Lloyd's, the wine-maker's nose is considered insurable because it is the basis of occupational success for him- a point which the insurance giant deems vital. Perfume smellers too follow suit with similar policies and are practically invaluable for perfume houses.

 

Then again there are TV stars like Jimmy Durante whose nose and personality evolved around each other and claimed an amount of £25,000. Now I wouldn't be surprised if Amy Winehouse' cocaine-snorting nose (so important for musical sensibilities dahlin') or Gisele Bundchen's 'big' German nose started commanding such enormous sums of money.

 

Of course, if you have a nose enhancement surgery you wouldn't be eligible for such insurance since they just don't give out insurance for surgically modified parts, unless of course you plan on making a fortune out of it!

 

But a pleasantly structured nose goes really easy on the eyes and enhancing it with nose surgery even better so. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can show you how. Visit us for an appointment today.
