Apologies for posting another one of these, but I'm on a biopunk binge and I've had an urge to re-read these (I think after around 20 years, but may be off on that) and I can't remember who wrote them.
It's a series about a future human society where people can go into tanks to regrow their bodies according to various commercial templates. The templates have largely replaced other types of fashion and status symbol. IIRC the protagonist is a detective of some kind who investigates unlicensed and illegal templates. There's a key plot point around some kind of illegal form (possibly giant lizards?) being found at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
