Acclaimed British documentary maker, LOUIS THEROUX, is back with a series of utterly enthralling new films. Tonight, Louis reveals the startling reality of a sweeping obsession with vanity. But how far is too far? Can larger breasts or tighter abs really make a person happier?

An overwhelming fixation on beauty and self-image is heading quickly in our direction straight from the west coast of the United States. Louis Theroux travels to California, the birthplace of plastic surgery, to observe this trend first hand. In this magical place you can be whatever and whomever you want with the flick of a knife and a few thousand dollars. In fact, you don’t even need that, just a credit card or a monthly payment plan from your friendly neighbourhood plastic surgeon. What used to be unaffordable luxury is now an everyday commodity.

Louis meets an astonishing cast of characters as he discovers a complex arena of cosmetic surgery where you can be anything you want, as long as you look good enough. Will Louis succumb to the easy promises of plastic surgery and plump for a procedure himself?
