Ever imagine how it feels to go from sow's ear to silk purse or vice versa?

Ever wonder about the forces that compel a well-adjusted person to submit gleefully to the risk of mutilation?

Tired of all the hype found in celebrity magazines, promotional plastic surgery ads, and cable television at its sleazy worst?

Authored by a practicing cosmetic surgeon, what follows is a selection of prickly situations imagined to their extremes, thought-provoking literary short fiction that probes both the patients who get nipped and tucked and the beauty doctors who make it happen.
