It used to be that people would go to their cosmetic surgeons and ask for a nose like Diana Ross’s (apparently Michael Jackson did for one). In Nicole Kidman's heyday, women all around were asking for a nose just like hers. Today, Ashlee Simpson is in vogue. That's just how aesthetic plastic surgery works. Surgeons have to learn how to re-create the look of the most popular stars of the day. Because people come in asking for the cheeks of Natalie Portman, the nose of Nicole Kidman, for bootylicious curves from Beyoncé and so on. Most women seem to prefer Angelina Jolie's overall look; and men seem to prefer her partner in the looks department (not to date, but to resemble). It's done so often that people don't even stop and think about it anymore. But is this even natural - to want to look like another person?


Aesthetic plastic surgery, as far as the cosmetic surgeons are concerned, is all about preserving the original look of a person. Preserving the original look is what they go for - even when they try to rebuild the face of a person who's been in a horrific accident of some kind,. When a client walks in asking for lips like Scarlett Johansson’s, that's not what the surgeon hears exactly and that's not what he intends to do.
