Celebrity face-fixes get the headlines, but Ms. (or Mr.) America--with an income of $50,000 or less--has become the real consumer. Cosmetic procedures of every type are popular, but even the simplest nips and tucks are still options as frightening and confusing as they are alluring. Veteran reporter Joan Kron uses what she learned both through her own face-lift and in her years of covering cosmetic surgery to arm the potential client with the whole story. Lift covers the technical aspects, but also the psychology of appearance and cultural history--from Elizabeth I s white-enameled wrinkles to Hollywood s hush-hush face peel. A sensitive overview as well as a nuts-and-bolts primer, Lift brims with real-life stories and interviews with doctors and sociologists, that demystify just what a lift can and cannot accomplish. Wanting one is between you and your mirror; having one is a complex decision that calls for this book as a companion.
