Surgery Junkies: Wellness and Pathology in Cosmetic Culture

Buch

Examines why we consider some cosmetic surgeries to be acceptable and others to be unacceptable and possibly harmful. This book brings fresh perspectives to the promotion of extreme makeovers on television, the medicalization of surgery addiction, the moral and political interrogation that many patients face, and feminist debates on the topic.
