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.”
