The body is a social construction and an arbitrary concept of beauty.
The influence of society and the mass media impose the individual aesthetic ideals to follow, often idealized and unrealistic. If the body prototypes are based in fiction, then the methods to approach them can not leave to be unnatural. So surgery reconciles aesthetic body with its aesthetic expectations, transforming subject's individual imperfections (in female in this case) in a body shaped by culture and isolated from heredity.
