A
GREEK myth tells the story of Pygmalion, a sculpter
who made such a beautiful statue of a woman
that he fell in love with it. In vain, he embraced
it until the goddess Aphrodite, seeing his distress,
brought the statue to life. Perfection became
reality and Pygmalion and his creation Galatea
were united at last.

surgeons tell this story to illustrate what
they call he Pygmalion complex - the desire
to create perfection, not out of marble but
out of human flesh. In reality, cosmetic surgery
aims at what is possible - a better profile,
a younger - looking face, and larger or smaller
breasts. A branch of plastic surgery has become
a minefield of medical ethics. Its image is
not improved by surgeons who are ready to
carry out almost any operation a patient requests
regardless of the possible outcome, as long
as the fee is good.

in the light.
