1. The Monarch Retreat: The Real Life Tales of Plastic Surgery Clients – Sabrina Martin

Sabrina Martin, author of biographical fiction about plastic surgery retreats, takes readers on an exciting journey through The Monarch Retreat, a high-end plastic surgery recovery haven based out of Denver. The book is highlighting the drama, luxury, and plain absurdity that unfold when high-maintenance clients check in post-op.

There’s diva-like behavior for sure, from clients demanding gourmet meals to wildly unexpected mishaps post-op (think of leaking wounds in luxury cars). The laughs just roll on from there.

With the author’s insider take on the world of vanity procedures, this book is just as enlightening as it is funny. If you’ve ever wanted to know what goes on in a posh recovery center, The Monarch Retreat serves up a front-row view, complete with high-maintenance clients, clueless husbands, and spa treatment disasters.

2. Plastic Makes Perfect – Rachel Louise Brady

With this novel, the have-a-laugh writer delves into plastic surgery absurdities. Hilarious and horrifying are opposite sides of the spectrum, but this best describes what is involved when a beauty-obsessed heroine who becomes heavily involved in the plastic surgery lifestyle gets caught in action. Having injected its cynicism into society’s obsession with the so-called ‘perfection,’ this book may lead to a complete re-assessment of the idea of even a ‘minor’ tweak for anyone who has ever had it on their mind.

3. Nip/Tuck: A Novel – I. L. Griffith

This Nip/Tuck-inspired book contains all the drama that goes on in a plastic surgery office and does it for laughs. It’s an entertaining and darkly funny look at what goes down when patients, surgeons, and assistants become tangled up in a web of vanity, greed, and untold complications. At the same time, you laugh with horror and conceal your face, maybe their wildly outrageous surgeries whose mess-ups will burst the walls of comic absurdity.

4. Confessions of a Plastic Surgeon's Wife – Megan Edwards

Ever wondered about life as the spouse of a plastic surgeon? A memoir-turned-humor book, the amusing account exposes all behind-the-scenes secrets about the beauty industry. From demanding the impossible from doctors to botched surgeries and bizarre recovery requests among patients, Megan Edwards’s view of the cosmetic enhancement world is sure to amuse.

5. Botox and Champagne – Melody Sinclair

Botox and Champagne is a gut-busting novel about a cohort of friends dealing with plastic surgery, dating disasters, and beauty standards that society has made impossible. Expect sharp lines, characters you can’t forget, and many scenes that will have you laughing off your face mask (or filler injections).

6. Fake It Till You Make It – Susan McBride

When a little white fib about age goes out of control for the lady, there comes a point where she has an identity issue involving plastic surgery. Fake It Till You Make It is a hilarious satirical look at how far people could actually go to keep the facade of youth and how it all collapses in the end.

7. The Face-Lift Diaries – Linda Gray Sexton

For memoir fans, here is The Face-Lift Diaries, which will brutally and yet hilariously tell one woman’s whole plastic surgery experience: the hurts, the swelling, the inevitable emotional roller coaster-the whole package wrapped in biting self-deprecating humor. The book is full of humorous stories about women in the beauty industry.

Final Thoughts: Laughter is the Best (Post-Op) Medicine

Recovery from plastic surgery can really hurt, but a good book is really what you need to make it more bearable. For that hilarious read about women in the beauty business, flip through the pages of The Monarch Retreat by Sabrina Martin or dip into some dramatic fictional tales of disastrous plastic surgery. After all, beauty might be painful, but at least it’s funny.
