It’s official: This is the world’s most desirable face according to requests for famous facial features from women about to undergo cosmetic surgery.
The Kate Middleton’s “mathematically perfect” nose is the facial feature most women ask for before they’re about to go under the knife while Keira Knighley’s eyelids are the second most popular.
They topped a list of the nine most wanted facial features from 1,000 patients who had cosmetic procedures with London facial cosmetic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva.
De Silva has kept a log of the most popular requests over the last 10 years showing which stars women most want to look like.
He has created a composite which combines the nine most requested features in one “perfect face.”
De Silva, from the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in Hammersmith, London, said that patients often wanted to copy the looks of their favorite celebrity.
He said: “You will often have a consultation with a patient who will present you with a picture of a well-known person and will say: ‘I want to look like that.’
“Obviously, the challenge for me is to look at their facial proportions and advise whether this will be a good look for them after surgery.
“Thankfully, a lot of the time, it works very naturally to replicate a nose like the [Kate Middleton’s] or eyelids similar to Keira Knightley’s.
“Most patients are pretty realistic in their objectives. They know that a new nose is not going to make them look like Kate Middleton.
“But a nose like Kate’s might perfectly complement the rest of their features and give them a much more beautiful face.”
De Silva said that Middleton, 34, had the most popular nose because it was mathematically almost perfect.
To the naked eye, her nose is straight, delicate and feminine and science confirms that Middleton’s nose, with its 106-degree nasal tip rotation (recent research shows that noses between 104-108 degrees in their orientation are the most beautiful) deserves a place on the world’s most perfect face.
While Middleton’s nose is front and center, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is the most popular facial surgical procedure and Knightly is by far the most popular celebrity option.
Jennifer Lopez’s arched eyebrows are the inspiration for brow and forehead “lifts” which are increasingly being sought to avoid “eyebrow droop” which makes people appear fatigued and can affect eyesight.
Penelope Cruz’s luscious lips are the envy of women across the world and the actress is the name on most people’s lips when they are seeking fillers, augmentation, and reduction.
Angelina Jolie’s cheeks are legendary and the inspiration when women are seeking silicone cheek implants or fat cell insertions to give them the cheeks they crave.
As more women take action to preserve their youthful looks, you would expect a younger celebrity to have the perfect skin they desire.
But, despite being 37, Reese Witherspoon inspires countless facelifts and stem cell procedures as her clear, smooth skin, with its age-defying beauty, makes it onto the perfect face.
And singer Miley Cyrus, 23, is the envy of women all over the world for her clear, lineless forehead, while Selena Gomez, 24, is the world’s most “chinspirational” woman.
And despite her age, 70-year-old Cher is still the inspiration for women seeking neck lifts to achieve the same smooth, youthful effect as the “Believe” singer.
De Silva said: “What is wrong with wanting to look like your favourite star? It helps cosmetic surgeons to quickly establish exactly what a patient wants.
These are the most beautiful women in the world – who wouldn’t want to look like that?”
