A survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that more people request to look like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie than any other Hollywood celebrity.
The informal poll of 20,000 plastic surgeons in 84 countries asked which celebrity body parts were the most requested.
Some of the results:
1. Angelina Jolie was the overwhelming choice for most requested smile and lips, followed by Julia Roberts.
2. Jolie's eyes and cheeks were also the most requested.
3. The most requested buttocks: Jennifer Lopez
4. The most requested breasts: Pamela Anderson
5. The nose everyone wants: Nicole Kidman (sorry Ashlee Simpson!)
6. The most requested male abs: Brad Pitt, followed by Matthew McConaughey
7. Many people also requested Brad Pitt's nose, eyes, chin, buttocks, lips, cheeks, and forehead.
8. A significant percentage of people request NOT to look like Pam Anderson, Dolly Parton, or Victoria Beckham.
I would have to agree with most of the findings EXCEPT:
- I've never had a patient request that I make her breasts look like Pam Anderson's. In fact, I find that most patients are afraid they'll wake up after surgery with "Baywatch Breasts."
- I've never had a patient ask for Nicole Kidman's nose, but many who have asked for Ashlee Simpson's.
- I find that many patients who seriously want to look like a celebrity can be a bit on the nutty side, and would be better treated in a psychiatric clinic than a plastic surgery office.

...people actually want pamela anderson breasts? that's disturbing.
ReplyDeleteoddly enough, brad pitt looks more like benicio del toro in that photo than himself!
ReplyDeleteYes I've noticed the resemblence between Brad and Benico before too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people rave about Kidman's nose - front on, yes its straight, short and seemingly perfect but in profile its a little bit snootish and sticky-outy if you get my meaning. I've always like Sharon Stone's nose.
I think its a sad state of affairs that women nowadays are aspiring to look like porn stars. What happened to feminism?
There used to be a show on MTV all about people having cosmetic surgery just to look like a celeb. It was highly entertaining and disturbing all at the same time. These 20 year olds were spending 25 grand to look like Britney and I completely agree that they may have been better off spending the money on a psychiatrist or therapist.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the point of plastic surgery to look like a better version of yourself?
ReplyDeleteI hereby request Brad Pitt's body. In my bed, NOW!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't find either one of them attractive. I'm 5'6" and 105 lbs. I have had two children, and I have no stretch marks. I'm happy with my body and my face.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people look at celebrities and focus on what they think a celebrity has...
AJ has nasty tattoos that are all stretched out now--yuk.
Brad Pitt--he looks like an old frat boy--not at all my type.
I think we should like ourselves first! I might be vain, but I'm happy with myself--even on days like today--when I have a big pimple on my chin:(
Nice blog:)

the two most naturally beautiful people in the world are the ones everyone wants to emulate. ahhh. the world is a funny place. i don't blame anyone for wanting Plastic surgery, but really they should try to enhance their own looks instead of try to be someone else.
