What鈥檚 wrong with plastic surgery?
The rights and wrongs of buying a new body.
Plastic surgery has never been cheaper or more accessible. The industry is booming: it鈥檚 worth an estimated 拢19 billion. The results of cosmetic self- improvement are readily available on Instagram, and appear in the breaks of Love Island. More people than ever are considering going under the knife. Despite all the moralising about plastic surgery, it doesn鈥檛 seem to put people off seeking it.
We speak to Mobeen Azhar who made TV programme where people seeking surgery watch procedures live on screen, and Christine Rosen, an academic who has been charting its cultural rise. They explore why people are seeking it, the dilemmas of normalising of plastic surgery.
