The Patients
It's a brave decision to undertake any form or cosmetic surgery or treatment but an even braver one to do so on national television. Channel 4's programme follows a number of these brave souls who wish to alter or improve their appearance. Some patients wish to overcome stigma's which they feel are attached to a particular aspect of their look such as Eric who suffers from Hair Loss, and whilst others simply believe that they are entitled to look the best they can and what nature can't achieve, then money certainly can. Whatever your views on cosmetic surgery, it's certainly worth a watch.
