English term or phrase: nipped, tucked and injected

As more and more of us get **nipped, tucked and injected** in the name of beauty, many are also putting their physical appearance, and in some cases, their lives on the line.

Geht es hier einfach um den Schönheitswahn?

gestrafft, geglättet und injiziert

Explanation:
der Link unten ist zu einem Artikel über die TV-Serie Nip/Tuck, bei der es um zwei Schönheitschirurgen geht.
Was nip and tuck im Fachjargon wirklich heißen, weiß ich nicht, dürfte aber sinngemäß an die obige Lösung drankommen.
Injected bezieht sich mit Sicherheit auf Botox-Injektionen zur Faltenglättung.
Also durchaus alles in Richtung Schönheitwahn.
