• Extraordinary good looks
• Chiseled, perfect facial features
• Ultra -toned bodies
• Flawless complexions

No, not a model’s convention or even looking through the books of plastic surgery before and after pictures in a surgeon’s office.

You are probably at the movies!

Beverly Hills is often regarded as the world Mecca of plastic surgery because it sits cheek-by-jowl with the U.S. entertainment industry.

You know, Tinsel Town!

Even less than perfect celebrity plastic surgery has found a marketplace in tabloids of the world, with websites and magazines showing graphic pictures when plastic surgery goes wrong on the world’s most popular faces and bodies.

In an industry where appearance is everything,  Hollywood Knives, a major documentary on BBC1 (British Broadcasting Corporation Channel 1) dug behind the scenes, interviewed top plastic surgeons, former spouses of stars and others to reveal what plastic surgeries major movie performers have had.

What did they find?

• Screen legend Marilyn Monroe had a chin implant after a photographer  called her a “chinless wonder.” Two weeks later, she got her first movie roll.
• Rita Hayworth had a full face lift in the 1960s, just as she was starting to show the effects of Alzheimer’s Disease.
• Clark Gable had ear pinning (otoplasty) and his teeth fixed.
• Burt Lancaster had a facelift.
• Dean Martin had rhinoplasty to make his nose straighter and narrower.
• Gary Cooper had a face lift and a double chin slimmed through neck surgery at age 53.
• John Wayne: neck surgery, face lift and upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), also in his 50s.
• Frank Sinatra, born in a forceps delivery that caused scarring on his neck and removed part of his left earlobe, had the scars removed in his 60s, along with a facelift and jowl surgery.
