The Influential Plastic Surgery List

Cosmetic enhancement of some sort or another is just one of the common denominators binding those in the top ten slots on the Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list existing.

While not many on the list may have come out-and-out about their cosmetic surgery, an occasional interest in it is no secret. It’s understandable, after all celebrities are the faces of the forces that come along with culture- be it fashion or the arts. A beautiful face is worth as much as the story behind it.

Let’s take Oprah Winfrey the leader of this list’s influentia. She is believed to have had a nose enhancement, a chin implant and a breast lift. Angelina Jolie follows a similar pattern with various skin treatments thrown in for good measure as does Beyonce with her alleged breast augmentation.

Footballer David Beckham, who is ranked number 5 on the list, is a mild sampler of injectables like Botox. Injectables that reduce wrinkles are admittedly more popular among men and contribute a lot to the polished faces making them as good as the brawn.

Far from disheartening us mere mortals, lists like these are simply measures of our own self-worth. Rather than comparing your inherent beauty with these perfect faces, look for little ways with which you can enhance your appearance.

Next time you want to ape a famous figure’s look, look towards your own self. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California recommends this more than anything else.
