It seems the Meghan effect inspires more than just a new wardrobe.

According to plastic surgeon Rian Maercks, more and more women are willing to go under the knife to change their looks to mimic that of the future royal. The most popular facial feature? Meghan's nose.

Her nose has "this tight, small tip with an extreme definition that people are into, and nice, supple lips that fit her face while being very natural-looking," explained the doctor.

Dr. David Cangello explained that Meghan's nose and proportions balance beautifully. "Many patients seek nasal proportions similar to Meghan's when describing their ideal nose during consultation," he told People.

Echoed Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg to Hello!, "Patients started coming to me about six months ago requesting Meghan Markle's nose." He explained, "Today she is probably one of the top, if not the number one, request that I am getting from patients hoping to look like their favorite celebrities." Her nose seems to have dethroned the Kardashian-hopefuls for most requests.

For most patients, getting a nose that looks like Meghan's can be as simple as getting some injectable fillers. "Minimally invasive" fillers are a fraction of the cost of traditional plastic surgery and have quicker recovery times. Injectables can cost somewhere between $600 and $5000.

Other patients looking to permanently emulate Meghan's nose will face higher costs for rhinoplasties. Explained Dr. Adam Hamawy to the International Business Times, "Can this be achieved with surgery? Yes, but it is not easy. A skilled rhinoplasty surgeon will take into account their patient's ethnic background and work to achieve harmony rather than perfection." It'll cost patients around $10,000.

Of course, a reputable doctor will offer you the safest and best results.
