Fashionable flesh: What would you pay for an on-trend body?

August 20, 2025

Just like bell bottom jeans, ra-ra skirts, and little black dresses, physical features drift in and out of fashion.

- Jennifer Cartwright on The Price of Perfection

It's big lips one minute and thin the next.

Supermodel slim today, Kardashian curves tomorrow.

Cosmetic industry innovation means nowadays you can buy exactly the body you want. But does this ever go too far?

Olivia Attwood's The Price of Perfection tries to find out.

In the UK, cosmetic procedures are rising year on year. You can get tweakments, treatments and full blown surgery all the way from your head to your toes.

The end result is often found on the film star's red carpet or the influencer's Instagram page; however, unless you've had a procedure yourself, you may have never seen the behind the scenes of a physical transformation.

The Price of Perfection opens the doors into operating theatres and beauty clinics to show what is really involved.

Ironically, it turns out that procedures within the beauty industry aren't all that pretty.

In The Price of Perfection, you'll see blood, fat, and folds, shown so closely it may make even the most strong-willed go queasy.

I shut my eyes and scrunched up my nose, desperate to unsee it.
