Summary:

In the age of surgically enhanced beauty and reality television, how do we perceive body image? To address that question, this film features media producers and consumers, surgeons and their patients, clinical psychologists, media theorists, and youth who are coming of age in a culture where bodies seem to be customizable. Individual stories illustrate just how far Americans will go to fit in--in an age dominated by the desire for a better self, surrounded by consumer culture, and fed shaping ideas of beauty by omnipresent media.
