About this book
A compendium of opinion on plastic surgery, including its safety, age-appropriateness, reasons, and future.
Censorship history
In 2024, "Cosmetic Surgery" by Roman Espejo was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns regarding its content on age-appropriateness and the promotion of plastic surgery among minors. The ban was initiated following complaints from parents and advocacy groups who argued that the book could influence young people's perceptions of body image and self-esteem. Specific instances included a school board vote in a district in Texas, where the book was deemed unsuitable for the curriculum, leading to its removal from library shelves.
