More and more, cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills report that patients are asking for surgery to make them look like their favorite celebrities.
Patients have some specific requests, including Katie Holmes’s eyes, Angelina Jolie’s lips and the body of Jennifer Biel, according to a recent study conducted by the Beverly Hills Institute of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Most patients will ask for a single feature from a celebrity, rather than trying to go for the entire look, according to Richard Fleming and Toby Meyer, surgeons at the clinic.
Mr. Fleming reported to Reuters news agency that patients continue to define their standard of beauty based on Hollywood.
They want the youthful, rested look they see in popular magazines, he said.
Many male patients are also going for celebrity features, including Leonardo DiCaprio’s nose and Matt Damon’s lips.
