Aesthetic Surgery
Before/after: the quest for perfection
TASCHEN 25 - Special edition!
Do you ever find yourself wondering, "Has she had work done?" Do you flip through supermarket tabloids to see who's the latest star to have gone under the knife? Do you secretly adore before and after photos? Well, let's face it, who doesn't? Aesthetic surgery has become a global phenomenon.
In places like Hollywood, the mystery isn't who's had work done, but who hasn't.
