Description

At the end of the 20th century, the body has become endlessly mutable through face lifts, breast implants, liposuction and collagen injections. This study traces the quest for physical perfection through surgery from the turn of the century to its end drawing on a variety of sources including personal accounts, medical records, popular magazines, medical journals and beauty guides. Elizabeth Haiken reveals how American culture came to see cosmetic surgery as a panacea for both individual and social problems.
