Description
In a Japan shaped by lookism, where people are emotionally wounded while searching for the changing and often harsh definition of beauty, cosmetic surgeon Maria Morino works at her clinic. She approaches cosmetic procedures not as mere alterations but as a way to mend both physical forms and the emotional distress that comes with them, much like adjusting a perfectly fitted dress that also heals inner scars. The manga explores the many reasons people seek her help, from breast reconstruction and double eyelid surgery to slimming treatments.
Maria is a dedicated and empathetic surgeon who strives to understand what her patients are truly troubled by and what they seek to be cured of, beyond just their physical symptoms. In the first major case, a patient who had her left breast removed due to breast cancer visits Morino Clinic. She is troubled by the difference in shape between her remaining breast and the mastectomy site, and has been subjected to harsh words from other doctors whose sole focus was curing the cancer. Maria must examine how to address her patient's distress and treat her emotional wounds as much as her physical ones. The story is set primarily within Morino Clinic, where patients arrive burdened by societal pressure and personal trauma, seeking a new self-image. The narrative arcs follow Maria as she encounters patients with various insecurities and conditions, helping them search for their own true image of beauty while confronting the complex realities of cosmetic medicine.
