Do you ever find yourself wondering, "Has she had work done?" Do you flip through supermarket tabloids to see who's the latest star to have gone under the knife? Do you secretly love before and after photos? Well, let's face it, who doesn't? Aesthetic surgery has become a global phenomenon. In places like Hollywood, the mystery isn't who's had work done, but who hasn't. Cosmetic surgery has lost a good deal of its shock value over the years, as treatments like Botox have blurred the perceived boundaries between serious, risky medical procedures and casual trips to the doctor. But make no mistake: going under the knife remains a messy enterprise, and you'll find plenty of supporting visual evidence for that notion in the pages of Aesthetic Surgery. From liposuction to lip implants, this highly illustrated book from hip German publisher TASCHEN, explores all the ins and outs of body sculpting via photos, illustrations, essays, and interviews. It's a fascinating page-turner that makes you want to find out more about the curious creatures we humans are - strangely addictive.
