This book mobilizes considerable theoretical and empirical resources to interrogate and problematize the social category of ‘older’ in the context of cosmetic surgery. It disrupts and critiques dominant renderings of ‘older’ and suggests that contemporary aesthetic and ethical values inform a new ethic of ‘older’.
