Britney Spears, who plays the Garden Wednesday, may be an – ahem – natural beauty, but Lord knows not everyone can look like the 20-year-old pop princess.
That is, unless you have $100,000 and change to pay a top team of plastic surgeons, stylists, dentists and other cosmetic pros.
Here’s a breakdown of how much the average New Yorker would have to pay for the teen queen’s physique. Pain medication not included.
NOSE JOB: Doctors say many patients ask for Britney’s cute-as-a button schnoz.
Cost: Up to $6,500
BRIGHT EYES: Even teens are opting for upper eye “blepheroplasty,” said Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Howard Bellin. He says by removing fat from the eyelids, the procedure can help make eyes look bigger and lighter
Cost: Up to $4,000
LIP AUGMENTATION: How’s this for appetizing? Bellin cuts into the crease of the buttock and removes a line of fat, which is then placed into the lip via two small incisions.
Cost: Up to $5,000
BREAST IMPLANTS: Britney says a “growth spurt” gave her envious curves, but the less-endowed have to pay for such privileges.
Cost: Up to $10,000
CHEEK AND CHIN IMPLANTS: Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Skolnik says chin implants “make the nose look smaller, and the face is just more in proportion and framed.” You’ll have to go elsewhere for cheeks – Skolnik doesn’t do them.
Cost: Up to $7,500.
PERFECT TEETH: Dr. Larry “Celebrity Smile” Rosenthal’s “smile lift” involves placing transparent sculpted porcelain veneers (OM3 is the hot shade right now) over the natural teeth. Rosenthal – whose clients include model Kylie Bax, Harvey Weinstein and Matt Dillon – builds up the veneers on the top side of the teeth so the lips look fuller.
Cost: Up to $25,000
SOFT SKIN: To keep a mega-millionaire teen pop queen looking pimple, wrinkle and squint-line free, Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr . Steven Victor recommends laser facials and removal of crow’s feet and under-eye circles, as well as Botox treatments.
Cost: Up to $3,200
BODY SCULPTING: Can be done on stomach, thighs and knees. For a pucker- and ripple-proof perfection, Bellin has his patients stand up during the surgery.
Cost: Up to $20,000
HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS: The really cheap stuff is horse hair or acrylic – but that’s not good enough for Britney, nor you either. Human hair extensions, which are usually stitched onto small braids, understandably cost more.
Cost: Up to $5,000
PERMA-TAN: Achieve a tawny glow with a Perfect Pro Tanning machine, the home version.
Cost: Up to $6,480
NAILS: You think Britney goes to a beauty parlor? For a monthly home visit from a top manicurist, it’s an easy $500 a pop. Or, you can slum it at a Manhattan salon once a week for $125 for all ten digits.
Cost: Up to $6,000 per year
FULL-BODY WAX: It’s not much fun, but if you want to remain fur-free at all times, make bi-weekly trips to the J. Sisters in Midtown, who charge $105 a rip. Eyebrows are $45.
Cost: $3,600 per year
