Download or read book Reflecting on Cosmetic Surgery written by Jane Megan Northrop and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: REFLECTIONS OF THE HEART offers a personal look at the experiences of individual patients in a facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon's practice.

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.
Download or read book Surface Imaginations written by Rachel Alpha Johnston Hurst and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versatile, trendy, and resilient, the global cosmetic surgery industry shows no signs of decline, especially with its promises, not just of aesthetic improvement, but of absolute transformation. Introducing the concept of "surface imagination," Rachel Hurst discusses the fantasy that a change to the exterior will enhance the interior, or that the outside is more significant because it fashions the inside. Drawing on psychoanalysis, feminist theory, popular culture, the history of medicine, and interviews with women who have undergone cosmetic procedures, Hurst explores the tensions between the two primary surfaces of cosmetic surgery: the photograph and the skin. The photograph, an idealized surface for envisioning the effects of cosmetic surgery, allows for speculation and retouching, predictably and without pain. The skin, on the other hand, is a recalcitrant surface that records the passage of time and heals unpredictably. Ultimately, Hurst argues, the fantasy of surface imagination corroborates the belief that one's body is mutable and controllable, and that control over one's body permits control over one's social, emotional, and mental suffering. Acknowledging the varied experiences and opinions of the patients interviewed, but also critiquing the promises made by the industry, Surface Imaginations develops an innovative approach to thinking about cosmetic surgical transformations through the seduction of surfaces.

Download or read book Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery written by Barry Friedberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One major by-product of the aging baby-boom generation has been a surging interest in cosmetic surgery. Out-patient cosmetic surgery clinics have sprouted up in droves all over the U.S., and the number of cosmetic procedures performed in 2005 increased by over 95% from the previous year. Although procedures like facelifts and abdominoplasties (the 'tummy-tuck') are considered minimally invasive, the anesthetic protocols and regimens here are often overly complex and unnecessarily toxic. Major complications involving anesthesia in this (and any other) surgical milieu can range from severe post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) to neuromuscular spasticity to mortality. The mortality spectrum of things may be rare, but there have been many cases in which perfectly healthy cosmetic surgery patients require emergency intervention due to a severe complication involving anesthesia. In recent years, many new anesthetic protocols have been developed to reduce the incidence of PONV and other complications, while ensuring that effective pain management and level of 'un-awareness' during surgery is always maintained.
