Female celebrities are beauty icons, and let’s face it, there’s not a woman on this earth who has not once envied the look of a starlet. (If there is, we’d like to know what rock you’ve been living under.). That’s why we are not surprised when we hear that when women go into a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, often the first thing out of their mouths is “I want to look like [insert female celeb name here].”

According to data over the last year from leading surgeons from around the world, Australia’s Marie Claire magazine, as reported in a recent article in Daily Mail UK, decided to reconstruct that ‘perfect woman’ – or at least her face anyway.

Of the top requested cosmetic surgery enquiries include:

• Natalie Portman’s petite nose
• Scarlett Johansson’s luscious lips
• Halle Berry’s simple, yet elegant jaw line
• January Jones’ perfectly structured and high cheeks
• Anne Hathaway’s sparkling, large eyes

 The light article makes no mention of skin complexion, eye-brows, teeth -- let alone the rest of the body.  What this does reveal, on a deeper level, is the influential impact Hollywood, fashion and the entertainment industry have over how we view our own self-image.  

In the UK, women accounted for nearly 90% of all cosmetic surgery over the last year, with a large portion focused on facial features.  As long as we love our celebs, cosmetic surgery for vanity reasons will continue to be a booming business.

We’ll leave you with just one question: Is that all that bad?
