(Re)touched in the Head

As a photographer, I can understand the need and/or desire for a certain amount of retouching. However most of these take it to an extreme that I find unsettling. It is one ting to adjust the color and the lighting a tad, but it is necessary to completely reshape someone's butt or back? In many cases, once I see the original photo the retouched vesion looks blah in comparison. So much of the character and humanity of the original disappears when the subject is turned into plastic perfection.
