Dr. Youn recounts his own experience with a major jaw surgery and his own journey in med school to "discovering" plastic surgery.

I'm not much of a memoir person, but I found this book engaging and fun to read. Youn's sense of humour is lovely, and his quick mentions of his faith are certainly present, but not overbearing or out to teach some kind of moral - it's simply part of his life. I also love how he addresses the tensions of being a second generation (I think?) in his family and the varying cultural norms both in his work and at home.

My only critique was that I wish there was more about how his own journey with a bodily modification influenced his desire to become a plastic surgeon. But the book left me wanting to know more, (I thought it'd cover more than just med school, so I was surprised when I was at the end) but that's probably more of a sign of good writing.

Recommended.
