Claudio Pizarro - has he had a nose job?

[jenni_blog]

After a discussion with a flister about whether or not Claudio Pizarro's nose looked as if he'd had surgery on it, I decided to go hunting for pictures that might prove it. Here are some pics of Claudio when he was younger, as well as pics of him now. I find the results rather inconclusive, however on some pics his nose does look different than it used to.

And I did find some evidence of a facial injury in 2004 for which he required surgery. This is from his Wiki page:

In the Copa América 2004 when playing for the Peruvian National team he suffered a fractured skull, when he took an elbow to the head in an on-field collision during a 3–1 win over Venezuela which forced him out of the Copa America and required extensive surgery in Germany.^[6] He was not able to play for over three months after the incident.

Claudio now:





Claudio younger. It does look different, doesn't it?

OT: according to this article, his transfer to Bayern is pretty much a done deal
[google translated article]
"According to the Munich paper Merkur... the return of goalscorer Claudio Pizarro to Bundesliga record-winner Bayern Munich is allegedly set. Both parties have reportedly come to an agreement."

In the first and most recent pic, Claudio's nose looks concave. In the next 3, older pics, it has a convex shape! But it's not that easy to spot. ;)

Ooooh I see it now.
Now I'm curious. *goes to look at more pics of him*
Hmm, it kind of looks convex in these, too

That's so weird, because his nose looks the OPPOSITE to what I showed...the convex nose pics are AFTER the concave ones! ?????????

It's a puzzle for sure! O_O

He has a secret twin. They can only be told apart by the curve of their nose. *nods*
