Product Information

Most women who elect to have cosmetic surgery want a "natural" outcome--a discrete alteration of the body that appears unaltered. Under the Knife examines this theme in light of a cultural paradox. Whereas women are encouraged to improve their appearance, there is also a stigma associated with those who do so via surgery. Samantha Kwan and Jennifer Graves reveal how women negotiate their "unnatural"--but hopefully (in their view) natural-looking--surgically-altered bodies. Based on in-depth interviews with 46 women who underwent cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance, the authors investigate motivations for surgery as well as women's thoughts about looking natural after the procedures. Under the Knife dissects the psychological and physical strategies these women use to manage the expectations, challenges, and disappointments of cosmetic surgery while also addressing issues of agency and empowerment. It shows how different cultural intersections can produce varied goals and values around body improvement. Under the Knife highlights the role of deep-seated yet contradictory gendered meanings about women's bodies, passing, and boundary work. The authors also consider traditional notions of femininity and normalcy that trouble women's struggle to preserve an authentic moral self.

Reviews
"Under the Knife draws on a rich set of interviews to shed new light on the expectations for femininity that place women in a double bind between trying to enhance their appearance by having cosmetic surgery and facing the stigmatization of doing so. Kwan and Graves present a clear, interesting, and novel argument regarding consumers' claims that their surgeries were not life changing; these women asserted that they have maintained 'an authentic self.' This book contributes to the study of boundary work and the sociology of culture and will resonate with a broad readership. "-- Maxine Leeds Craig , Professor of Sociology, University of California, Davis, and author of Sorry I Don't Dance: Why Men Refuse to Move, "Under the Knife is a timely, accessible, and unique intersectional analysis of cosmetic surgeries. Kwan and Graves unravel the paradox that surrounds people's desire to undergo cosmetic surgery in a society that overwhelmingly continues to stigmatize the practice. Kwan and Graves' theorization of the 'natural fake' will become a key concept that sociocultural scholars who study bodies and embodiment will draw on for years to come . Under the Knife is a very strong and impressive book. "-- Georgiann Davis , Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and author of Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis
