Includes bibliographical references and index.
'Pretty Modern' is an account of Brazil's emergence as a global leader in plastic surgery. Intrigued by a carnival parade that mysteriously paid homage to a Rio de Janeiro plastic surgeon, the author conducted research that took him from Ipanema socialite circles to the waiting rooms of public hospitals offering free cosmetic surgery.
