NY Mag has dubbed Madonna's surgically enhanced face "The New New Face" in a cover story on plastic surgery called "About Face."

Apparently, there's a whole new look for women of a certain age who want to look younger than that certain age, and it's personified by Madonna's "wide open" eyes, her "big baby cheeks", "plumped skin", "defined and angular jaw", "juicy but not too" lips and the "overall heart shape effect" of her face.

But is this combo of super-taut body and baby-plump face really the new ideal of American beauty?
