Cosmetic surgery represents an extreme form of modern grooming. It is the fastest growing medical specialty, yet misconceptions abound about those who undertake it and their reasons for doing so. With a grounded approach, engaging 30 women through in-depth interview, this study explores how they chose cosmetic surgery as an option. Their accounts frame a theoretical discussion, in which Northrop proposes that cosmetic surgery is initiated within the vulnerable and divisive relationship between the self and its poor body image. Poor body image and the attempt at its reparation are examined conceptually through shame and narcissism. With compelling case studies and a multi-disciplinary approach, Reflecting on Cosmetic Surgery demonstrates that shame constitutes a framework through which we formulate appearance norms and learn the art of becoming socially embodied. Shame concerns the self, but manifests in response to perceived social phenomena. Through the evaluation and amendment of body image with cosmetic surgery, notions of self and social worthiness are played out. Northrop argues convincingly for a review of the way in which we view narcissism and proposes that shame, and the discomforts arising from it, are implicated in its occurrence. This book will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences, and particularly in women’s studies and gender studies.

REFLECTIONS OF THE HEART offers a personal look at the experiences of individual patients in a facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon's practice. The opening chapter by Dr. Jim English provides fascinating insights on his 25 year career in his chosen field of endeavor. The sixteen subsequent chapters present individual women's experiences with their surgical procedures. Each patient reveals thoughts about her own surgery in face-to-face interviews with Dr. Betty Hubbard, a certified health education specialist. The women are from different age groups and backgrounds including secretaries, doctors, teachers and sales representatives. These are stories of self-disclosure told with introspection and honesty. Some are humorous and some are sad but all reflect each woman's sincere desire to help others who have questions about facial plastic and cosmetic sur- gery. Each story includes Dr. English's comments on the individual patients. Before and after photographs illustrate transformations in appearance as well as the emotional changes that resulted. The last section of the book provides valuable information about the most common facial plastic and cosmetic procedures chosen by women. Whether you are simply curious about the motives and experiences of people who undergo surgical enhancement or contemplating having a procedure(s) yourself, this book will give you in-depth in-sight into their surgical experiences.
