A poll asks over 1,000 teenage girls what they feel about airbrushing-and comes up with some disturbing findings.

In a commendable move to understand and in the process reduce the great social and self-imposed pressure on teenage girls to look like A-listers, one of the UK’s top cosmetic surgery review websites www.goodsurgeonguide.co.uk recently conducted a poll of 1,078 teenage girls to discover their thoughts and reactions about airbrushing.

Yet, this agreeing may not be good enough. While a massive 87% of the respondents believe that the majority of celeb images are airbrushed—and therefore not an honest indicator of how they actually look these respondents still admit they want to look like their favorite celebrity!

The top 10 A-listers that respondents want to look like include some of the biggest names in the business.

1. Katy Perry – 69%

2. Frankie Sandford – 64%

3. Cheryl Cole – 61%

4. Beyonce – 57%

5. Britney Spears – 54%

6. Abbey Clancy – 53%

7. Fergie – 51%

8. Nicole Scherzinger – 48%

9. Victoria Beckham – 46%

10. Rihanna - 44%

Ironically, when asked which A-listers they believe are most often airbrushed, respondents came up with pretty much the same names as in the want-to-look like list above.

Here are the top 10 female celebrities who teenagers think are regularly airbrushed:

1. Britney Spears – 71%

2. Kim Kardashian – 69%

3. Victoria Beckham – 67%

4. Nicole Scherzinger – 59%

5. Katy Perry – 57%

6. Keira Knightley – 53%

7. Cheryl Cole – 51%

8. Jessica Simpson – 49%

9. Fergie – 48%

10. Sarah Jessica Parker– 44%

Other disturbing findings—when asked, one out of every three girls acknowledged that they are on a diet, while a further 41% want to lose weight. A whopping 79% of the respondents would like to change at least one part of their body. Moreover, a significant 22%-almost a quarter of all respondents—said they would like to undergo some sort of cosmetic surgery procedure to look better. 58% of the teenage girls asked, admitted to having a celebrity as a role model.

It is as obvious as the nose on one's face,so-to-speak, that the impact of A-list behavior on teenagers is significant and likely unhealthy for their self-esteem. The Girl guiding campaign in the UK, therefore, hopes to bring to light and to teenagers' consciousness that  celebrities have imperfections in real-life in their appearance, and then through this process,  to help teenagers to be more accepting of their own less-than-perfect looks. But going by the results, that’s not going to happen any time soon.

Nevertheless, it is certainly worth the effort, as expressed by Christiana Clogg, founder of www.goodsurgeonguide.co.uk. In that regards, Ms. Clogg says: “I am completely behind the campaign that encourages the media to be more honest about airbrushed images. Although we are all aware that airbrushing happens, it doesn’t stop us beating ourselves up for not looking like the women in the magazines. Celebrities are role models for adults as well as teenagers; they have a responsibility to the public to be honest, as do the publications that feature them."
