Angelina Jolie is the gold standard of beauty among women seeking cosmetic surgery and that's not about to change, says a leading Hollywood surgeon.
 The US movie star has the most requested look - exagerated, almost cartoonish lips, eyes and cheek bones - desired by American women wanting a nip and tuck, Professor Ava Shamban says. Professor Shamban, a cosmetic dermatologist, told a gathering of 400 Australian specialists that demand for this brand of exotic look is here to stay.
"Angelina Jolie, with her exquisite looks, is the current gold standard of beauty in the states and in the West in general right now," said Prof Shamban, who has appeared on the chat show Oprah and the reality TV series Extreme Makeover.
Australian College of Cosmetic Surgery president Michael Zacharia said requests for Jolie's looks were becoming increasingly frequent.
"It's common to hear people say 'I want lips or cheekbones like Angelina Jolie's', and her association with Brad Pitt has just accentuated this," Dr Zacharia said.
He said the trend was probably helped by a growth in non-surgical treatments, predominantly Botox, to flatten creases, and dermal fillers to plump up sagging skin - both of which aid in "enhancing" features.
