THE perfect woman has the lips and eyes of Angelina Jolie, breasts like Pamela Anderson's, and Jennifer Lopez's bottom.Nicole Kidman provides the nose but for the legs, take your pick: Tina Turner, Sharon Stone or Cameron Diaz.
Who says? Twenty thousand plastic surgeons from around the world.
A survey of their patients' preferences showed the perfect woman to be a composite of famous women.
But the perfect man was Brad Pitt - almost from top to bottom.
Pitt was nominated most frequently for nose, abdomen and buttocks.
He also shared the honours in the most popular eyes, chin, cheeks, lips and forehead categories. The survey will be a hot topic when the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery meets in Melbourne next month.
For women, it wasn't only contemporary box office stars and magazine cover girls who featured prominently.
Screen legend Sophia Loren was nominated for her cheeks and eyes.
Another ageing beauty, Elizabeth Taylor, won an honourable mention for her eyes and was also popular for her forehead.
Most popular posterior belonged to Lopez, who won the best buttocks section by a huge margin.
The world's best breasts, according to women planning a change, belong to Anderson.
Although they admired her breasts, a significant number made it clear they did not want to look like Anderson - or Dolly Parton or Victoria Beckham.
Beckham's hubby, David, was more popular and won the legs category for men.
Runner-up was Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he made amends by scoring an overwhelming win in the chest department.
The survey's findings will be discussed by more than 1000 plastic surgeons from 68 countries at ISAPS's 19th biennial congress in Melbourne, from February 10-13.
The society's president, Melbourne plastic surgeon Bryan Mendelson, yesterday said the results underlined the need for continuing public education about how to choose a plastic surgeon.
"The respect for our medical profession is so high that the public tend to trust doctors no matter what," he said.
"But the reality is that still in Australia any doctor can call himself a surgeon, which can be very misleading."
Dr Mendelson said the performance of cosmetic surgery by people without adequate training or expertise was a worldwide problem.
The results of a Medical Board of Victoria inquiry into the advertising, marketing and regulation of cosmetic surgery have not yet been released.
