"Tell us what you don't like about yourself," rings the motto of much loved plastic surgery television show Nip/Tuck. The motto speaks to the darker side of plastic surgery, to the fact that there are some people out there who get plastic surgery in an attempt to diminish their low self esteem problems. We can't blame the show for picking at the seedy side of plastic surgery. After all, a television show about people who mostly like their bodies and just want to tweak a little something with plastic surgery for a better appearance really wouldn't be all that compelling to watch. It's just a little too much like real life, right?
Still, after a strong start, Nip/Tuck faltered last season with its story line. The characters were weak. The story moved back and forth in time. And there was less attention to plastic surgery than there was to the muddled lives of the surgeons. Viewers wondered if Nip/Tuck would even return for another season. Alas, the time has come. Christian Troy and Sean McNamara will be back on television starting tomorrow night. And it'll be interesting to see what these television celebrity plastic surgery doctors have in store for viewers now.
The hope by many viewers is that we'll get a better look at what celebrity plastic surgery is all about. This hope springs from the fact that Nip/Tuck has moved from its old home to a new plastic surgery office in the Los Angeles area. The doctors are going to be getting a new start in the home of the stars. And perhaps we'll get to see them experience a new clientele as well? Maybe we'll even see them return to showing more plastic surgery on the screen and a little less of the off topic drama that drew last season down the drain.
