Teen Issues series. This book examines the pros and cons of teens undergoing cosmetic surgery. The author supplies testimony of cosmetic surgeons and transformed teens, graphic but nonsensational descriptions of various procedures, and frequent reminders of the social and even familial pressures on teens to look perfect. Drab, staged, black-and-white photos diminish this cogent book. Directory, reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
