Plastic Surgery Undressed

Plastic Surgery Undressed separates cosmetic surgery fact from fiction. In this episode it’s the tummy tuck. A BBC poll of 18-30-year-olds reveals that more than half are considering future cosmetic procedures or surgery, but of those who have already taken the plunge a staggering 29 per cent are unhappy with the results. This unique TV event gives four people who are serious about having surgery an unprecedented live view of the operation that stands between those all-important before and after photos on social media. In this episode, top surgeon Amir Nakhdjevani talks the surgery seekers through a tummy tuck procedure as he operates on his patient, Hannah. Each seeker is accompanied by a friend or family member with a strong view on their surgery plans.

Plastic Surgery Undressed gets under the skin of hair transplants. By the age of 30, up to a third of those with male pattern baldness will be losing their hair - and for some it has a devastating impact on their confidence, affecting all areas of their life. Now that celebrity hair transplants are discussed publicly, it's seen by many as the solution. Four surgery seekers, all unhappy with their hair, get a unique opportunity to decide if the procedure is right for them by watching it live, talking to experts and meeting former patients.

It’s the second most popular surgery for women in the UK, and many argue there is nothing cosmetic about it. Bad backs and unwanted attention are just two of the problems faced by those with big boobs. In an exclusive poll of 18-30-year-olds for the BBC, 65% of respondents said a desire to look ‘normal’ led them to consider a cosmetic procedure. It’s something Eden can relate to, as the size of her boobs made her feel out of place at school. Lauren’s breasts not only give her physical pain, but they affect what she is able to do with her children. Michaela’s partner loves her breasts, but Michaela’s not a fan. From men fixating on her bust to the women who think it’s OK to grab her breasts in public, Michaela is ready to pay for her surgery. Carla thinks women with large breasts are perceived differently, and with a big birthday coming up she’s hoping family and friends will help her raise the cash to change hers.
