The desire for beauty is universal. While society today has become increasingly accepting of medical aesthetics and "minimally invasive" procedures, talking about "plastic surgery" still carries some stigma and taboo – even more so in the 1990s. Yet 98-year-old American legendary beauty editor Joan Kron has always been open about declaring to the world: "I've had 3 facelifts!" 35 years ago, she pioneered the field, becoming one of the first journalists to write openly about plastic surgery in newspapers and magazines. She even authored books and directed a documentary, using her personal experience to unveil the magical world of medical aesthetics for the public.
