Reviews
"Partly a journey of self discovery--an often thoughtful one at that. It is also a shrewd analysis of the subculture of plastic surgery."--"New Republic""We are a makeover-mad world, argues Virginia L. Blum in "Flesh Wounds: The Culture of Cosmetic Surgery, and we need to face it. Interweaving social science, psychological analysis, personal reflection and pop culture, Blum pieces together a sharply observed picture [with] ruthlessly honest accounts of the breast augmentations, rhinoplasties and face-lifts she witnessed during her research."--Alexandra Hall, "Ms. Magazine"As face lifts and tummy tucks become increasingly affordable to middle-class Americans, Blum argues, even those who have never considered the knife cannot escape cosmetic surgery's implications and its pervasive promotion by everyone from doctors to those who play them on TV."--"Publishers Weekly""Considers ways in which the practice of cosmetic surgery captures the condition of identity."--"The Bookseller"

Synopsis
Drawing on personal materials alongside interviews and readings of literature and culture, this book considers the ways in which the practice of cosmetic surgery captures the conditions of identity in contemporary culture., When did cosmetic surgery become a common practice, the stuff of everyday conversation? In a work that combines a provocative ethnography of plastic surgery and a penetrating analysis of beauty and feminism, Virginia L. Blum searches out the social conditions and imperatives that have made ours a culture of cosmetic surgery. From diverse viewpoints, ranging from cosmetic surgery patient to feminist cultural critic, she looks into the realities and fantasies that have made physical malleability an essential part of our modern-day identity. For a cultural practice to develop such a tenacious grip, Blum argues, it must be fed from multiple directions: some pragmatic, including the profit motive of surgeons and the increasing need to appear young on the job; some philosophical, such as the notion that a new body is something you can buy or that appearance changes your life. "Flesh Wounds "is an inquiry into the ideas and practices that have forged such a culture. Tying the boom in cosmetic surgery to a culture-wide trend toward celebrity, Blum explores our growing compulsion to emulate what remain for most of us two-dimensional icons. Moving between personal experiences and observations, interviews with patients and surgeons, and readings of literature and cultural moments, her book reveals the ways in which the practice of cosmetic surgery captures the condition of identity in contemporary culture., When did cosmetic surgery become a common practice, the stuff of everyday conversation?
