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.

Ryan has done the hard work and halved his bodyweight, but he’s left with the excess skin from when he was 27 stone. Lisa says having her twin boys young has left her with a wrinkly tummy that 'looks like my Nan’s face'. Megan can’t have a full-length mirror in her house because her body confidence is on the floor, and, at 20, Ffion thinks she should be in her prime, and surgery is how she can achieve that.

With insights from former patients, experts on hand to answer any questions and companions pushing their opinions, it’s an emotional experience for some as they confront the reality of plastic surgery. By the end of the operation, will they still want to go ahead? Show less
