In the medical drama television series Nip/Tuck, plastic surgeons asked prospective patients to disclose what they did not like about themselves. Why is this line of questioning sociologically significant?


▸ It forces the realization that people who opt for plastic surgery do not like how they look.

▸ Doctors are normally trained to ask questions that are worded more positively.

▸ The question implies that our bodily representations are who we are.

▸ It assumes that all people are dissatisfied with their bodies.
