Whenever Fiorella encounters people she knows, the women realize she looks different and gather around, asking her all about her facelift. The men don't notice anything, or, if they do, can't figure out what's different. One of them even asked Fio if she was wearing new clothes.
Fio adheres to the theory that women's feelings of self-worth are tied up with their appearance. Like stage actors, we advertise ourselves with how we look--dress our parts, so to speak--and nothing represents us as much as our faces which, as we age, can be deceiving.
Now, Fio knows we shouldn't judge ourselves by outward appearances, that we should go more than skin deep, that she's being sexist, etc., but she is also a child of her culture, and all she can say is I HAVE MY TRUE SELF BACK AGAIN!
