Reed thin frame, price and size, scalpel style

Her reed thin frame and wholesome looks, her price and size, continue to make tabloid headlines.
And presently, there's a little something about Kareena Kapoor that's caught the eagle eye of lensmen and shutterbugs. Her jawline, that is!
Bebo's famed and distinctly squarish jawline has undergone a magical transformation. And what has emerged is a jawline that appears more oval in shape.
Net result: Bebo's visage looks a lot more softer and feminine and alluring...
Well, it's cutting edge... scalpel style?

Please explain to me the emboldened parts?

Though I know "frame" means "looks of one's body/shape".

, so "reed thin frame" means "body thin like a reed", or "very thin body". I don't understand "price and size" (to me it sounds like a light-hearted comparison with consumer goods that give you value for money, but it may have nothing to do with that). "cutting edge" means "very advanced", "pioneering".

A "reed" is a tall thin plant that grows by the sides of rivers etc., so "reed thin frame" means "body thin like a reed", or "very thin body".

Mr WordyI don't understand "price and size" (to me it sounds like a light-hearted comparison with consumer goods that give you value for money, but it may have nothing to do with that).
I suspect that the writer has omitted an 'and' from before 'her price and size'. I doubt he intended 'her price and size' to be a parenthetical remark relating only to Kareena
