Aesthetic surgery's global significance is explored through its historical and cultural contexts, from ancient practices in India to modern trends in South Korea and Argentina. Sander Gilman examines diverse topics, including the cultural implications of cosmetic procedures like nose jobs and breast removal, arguing that these surgeries enable individuals to conform to societal standards and enhance their identities. By presenting a comprehensive history, Gilman reveals the universal desire to "pass" within various social groups, highlighting the profound impact of aesthetic surgery on personal and cultural identity.
