Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Surface Imaginations by : Rachel Alpha Johnston Hurst

Download or read book Surface Imaginations written by Rachel Alpha Johnston Hurst. This book was released on 2015-11-01. 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 Photography Techniques for Facial Plastic Surgery written by J. David Kriet. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the adoption of digital photography on a wide scale and advent of new technologies such as 3-D patient imaging, this is an area that is rapidly changing and of interest to both established and novice facial plastic surgeons. Most surgeons have limited experience with photography prior to starting a practice and need guidance in regard to selecting proper equipment, setting up a portrait studio, and obtaining high-quality standardized series of photos that can be used in presentations and publications. There are also a multitude of issues related to managing the vast amount of data that surgeons are now accumulating. Topics in this publication include: Camera and lens selection; Setting up a medical portrait studio; Photography consent and related legal issues; Pre- and post-operative portrait photography/standardized photos for various procedures; Pitfalls of nonstandardized photography; Morphing images to demonstrate potential surgical outcomes; Photoshop tools and tricks every facial plastic surgeon should know; Intraoperative photography; Digital asset management; Objective facial photograph analysis using imaging software; Evaluating symmetry and facial motion using 3D videography; Research and clinical applications for 3D imaging.
