Reviews
An incisive look at the medicalization of beauty, this sociological inquiry into the origins, expansion and commercialization of cosmetic surgery brings entirely new insights to the subject., Deborah Sullivan's compelling book Cosmetic Surgery: The Cutting Edge of Commercial Medicine in America , makes the case that was once the fringe of American medicine has come to define its new center. The very definition of the relationship between doctor and patient we now use and praise is that of the cosmetic surgeon and her client. Sullivan makes one think very hard about the path we are all treading.
