FOUR out of five cosmetic-sur gery patients admit they’ve been “directly influenced” by makeover shows.

According to a survey in the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, shows like MTV’s “I Want a Famous Face” and ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” were watched at least once by over half of cosmetic-surgery patients.

Most patients also admitted that the shows – including “Dr. 90210” and “Miami Slice” – played a significant part in their decision to undergo the surgery.
