As this surgery has become more accessible worldwide, changing beauty trends have led to a proliferation of beauty standards for members of different racial groups. Alka V. Menon enters the world of cosmetic surgeons, journeying from a sprawling convention center in Kyoto to boutique clinics in the multicultural countries of the United States and Malaysia. She shows how surgeons generate and apply knowledge using racial categories and how this process is affected by transnational clinical and economic exchanges. Surgeons not only measure and organize but also elaborate upon racial differences in a globalized field of medicine. Focusing on the role of cosmetic surgeons as gatekeepers and producers of desired appearances, Refashioning Raceargues that cosmetic surgeons literallyreshape raceboth on patients' bodies and at the broader level of culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Figures and Tables \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: From Standardization to\u003cbr\u003e Customization—Race in Cosmetic Surgery \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PART I GLOBAL EXPERT DISCOURSE \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
