Quatrième de couverture : "Où finit la chirurgie reconstructive et où commence la chirurgie esthétique ? Jusqu'où ira celle-ci ? Quelles logiques en soutiennent l'expansion et quels enjeux engage-t-elle ? Est-ce un progrès et un bienfait qui concourent au « complet bien-être » par quoi on définit la santé ou un asservissement aux diktats de l'industrie d'une soi disant beauté ? Cet ouvrage brosse l'histoire de la chirurgie esthétique depuis ses balbutiements jusqu'à l'engouement actuel pour les interventions sur le corps, en passant par les étapes de légitimation et d'autonomisation qui, au vingtième siècle, en ont ponctué l'ascension. Faisant une égale place tant aux défenseurs de la chirurgie esthétique qu'à ses critiques, et s'alimentant à plusieurs témoignages, l'auteur fait apparaître en quoi les innombrables et diverses retouches qu'on apporte de nos jours à notre physique traduisent l'avènement d'un type chirurgicalement modifié et d'un nouveau rapport à soi caractéristiques de l'époque."

Over the past decades, surgical techniques have greatly progressed to improve and correct appearance. They are artistic procedures to give the highly demanded proportions. The growing public interest in aesthetic and plastic surgery interventions such as body contouring and sculpting requires clear description and differentiation of these highly sophisticated techniques, their results and combinations, as well as scientific information about the different instrumentation, devices and materials used. Such clarification will be hugely beneficial both for patients and doctors, having in mind the increasing number of such interventions and progressing interest for a better and healthy living including improved appearance in society. The book adds some scientific news to the understanding of body contouring treatments. Currently, the request for atraumatic, short downtime procedures predominates and demonstrates the importance of hi-tech and safe liposculpture and fat transfer, although they cannot totally replace surgical excision methods.
