Examples

“Louise Denton had been in therapy only a few weeks. She’d been referred after her eighth round of plastic surgery had failed to correct⟳ what Louise felt were highly visible defects in her appearance. To date⟳, Louise Denton had had a nose job; an eye job; a cheekbone enhancement; breast enlargement; and a chin job. She’d had liposuction on her cheeks and collagen in her lips and a couple of skin treatments whose names Portia didn’t even remember⟳.”

““Ah, well. She was due for a chin job, anyway. Up until now, I was too polite to say⟳ anything, but those saggy jowls are so unattractive in profile.””

“After the first operation I'd bumped into a girl from school who had remarked lazily ‘I can't really see⟳ the difference ...’ despite an almost two-centimetre shortening of my face⟳. I wanted to lamp her. So although I knew that the chin job was going to complete⟳ Mr Harrison’s work⟳ I didn’t particularly expect⟳ it to be the most transformational operation of them all.”
