The aim of this study is to analyze the process of metamorphosis of a tall and ugly woman through plastic surgery as depicted in The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (1983) of Fay Weldon. The process of plastic surgeries and the psychology of the protagonist of this novel were analyzed. A highly unattractive woman (Ruth, 185 cm) takes revenge on her husband (Bobbo, 175 cm) and his attractive lover (Mary Fisher, 160 cm). To transform her appearance, Ruth remodels her jaw, has her teeth extracted (2-jaw surgery or facial contouring surgery), straightens and trims her nose (corrective rhinoplasty), flattens her cheekbones (reduction malarplasty), reduces her breast size (reduction mammoplasty), and shortens both her arms and legs (limb reduction surgery). Following the series of surgeries, Ruth ultimately made herself look identical to Mary Fisher, her husband’s lover. She believes her inadequacies stem from her body’s failure to meet societal beauty standards, prompting her decision to “remake” herself. She declares, “I will be what I want, not what God ordained.” Ruth’s aspiration is not to acquire a new face but to attain the face of Mary Fisher. When confronted with pain and harm, Ruth does not waver but acknowledges it. “Of course it hurts. Andersen’s little mermaid wanted legs instead of a tail. And, like her, I welcome it. I don’t complain.” In this study, we derived insights into why patients who want to change their entire bodies undergo plastic surgery, what these patients really want, and patients’ attitudes toward the pain caused by surgical procedures.
