* A minor character in ''Literature/TheWitcher'' provides an interesting take on this trope: she was disfigured very badly, so after deciding that there was nothing they could do with it, the healers just hid it under an exceptionally strong illusion.

* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', Bonesaw is able to accomplish this thanks to her bio-Tinker specialty. The quality of the surgery varies depending on available time; the [[SurgicalImpersonation decoys]] she created out of civilians could be mistaken at a glance but were obviously fakes on a close look. Bonesaw eventually performed a series of operations on herself to make herself appear two years younger.

* ''Series/HowdyDoody'' went through one of these early in his run, after the first puppet's builder left over a dispute about merchandising and took the puppet with him. The familiar chubby-cheeked, freckle-faced Howdy Doody is the post-surgery version.

* Averted in the Desmond Bagley spy thriller ''The Tightrope Men''. The protagonist has been kidnapped, brainwashed and altered through plastic surgery to take the place of a KidnappedScientist. While it's enough to fool people in the short term, an examination by a doctor soon establishes [[YouHaveToBelieveMe he's telling the truth]]. At the end of the novel, he tries to get his face changed back to what it was but has to keep the scientist's bulbous nose (altered through silicone implants) because it would be too difficult to alter.
