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'. Drawing inspiration from Michel Foucault's work on ethics, the book proposes that cosmetic surgery can be understood as a contemporary practice of self-care that transforms subjectivity in relation to a desirable mode of being.
