talking about hollywood celebrities:

I say:

It's important to have a natural looking nose or else you'll have a target on your face 24/7!

or You would have a target.

It's just a conversational statement w/ a friend. She's thinking about cosmetic surgery.

Well, if you dont get a good job, then people will know you've had work done, and some would judge you for it. Look at Michael Jackson, lil Kim, Jennifer Grey, and the list goes on!

All the photos are not going to explain 'target': it is the wrong word choice in your sentences. And it seems to me that people will notice the nose job, good or bad.

PJ, it is just an incomprehensible phrasing as you have concocted it. At your level, you cannot just cook up a figure of speech and expect listeners to understand it. You need to do this with that:

It's important to have a natural looking nose or else you'll be a constant target of ridicule.
You would be a target of ridicule.
