Celebrity look-alike surgery on the rise, says AAFPRS

The annual survey goes out to a select group of the organisation’s 2,500 members to uncover the latest trends in facial plastic surgery.

Angelina Jolie’s lips and cheekbones topped the list of requests followed by Beyonce’s facial structure, Kim Kardashian’s eyes and jawline, Brad Pitt’s nose and Natalie Portman’s nose.

“Some people are attracted to the power, fame and attention that being a celebrity brings,” says Stephen Park, MD, FACS, president of the AAFPRS. “It’s important to remember that simply changing your appearance will not give you the same level of recognition. Celebrity photos are so often re-touched that their images are distorted which can result in unrealistic expectations that propel consumers to seek excessive or extreme surgeries.”
