A new book on cosmetic surgery has been making the rounds lately and I should be getting my hands on it soon. According to the product description that I read up on Amazon the author of Beauty Junkies, Alex Kuczynzki “captures the follies, frauds, and fanaticism that fuel the American pursuit of youth and beauty in a wickedly revealing excursion into the burgeoning business of cosmetic enhancement.”
That in itself makes it sound very ominous for the plastic surgery profession. Since I have yet to read the book, I am reserving comment for now. But it still makes me wonder how many similar books this branch of medicine can do without to increase the seeds of doubt in the minds of people.
The book My Beautiful Mommy, a ‘guide’ book for young children whose parents have had a plastic surgery Orange County is still in the eye of controversy and in my opinion the ripples are going to last for a long time. Kuczynski’s book seems to raise some questions as well, mainly in the eyes of the wary consumer and the untrusting third person.
