Flesh Wounds

In FLESH WOUNDS, author Blum examines the plastic surgery boom in the United States from different perspectives, including the personal (as a early adopter of plastic surgery), and the societal (she discusses the cultural implications of the boom). She also talks about the troubling relationship between the goals of many patients and our celebrity-obsessed culture, drawing her own conclusions about the trend to try and look like a celebrity.
