Do cosmetic surgery patients really come in asking to look like movie stars?

My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but share one thing in common... they all want to look and feel better but don't want to look like someone else.

While some will point to various attributes of movie stars and say that they like someone's nose, someone's breasts, or someone's legs, they don't necessarily want to look exactly like this person; instead, they use a particular attribute as an example or as a template for a specific look.
