Where this comes from

Abstract

To shrink hips or expand chests, both men and women are turning to plastic surgeons for bodies that they think diet and exercise are unable to give them- at least as soon as they want them. Several issues need to be addressed before patients shop for athletic-looking physiques. Even the most deft surgical techniques cannot mend patients' self-images.
