Plastic Disasters

These Scars are Forever.

What is the real fallout from Americas cosmetic surgery craze? Three harrowing stories of surgery gone wrong shed a disturbing light on an industry driven by unchecked medical standards and our growing mania to stay forever young. Mona, Tony, and Lucille all signed up for what they thought were "routine" procedures. In each case, surgery brought them to the brink of despair.

Set against the heroic beginnings of plastic surgery in WWI and intercut with graphic operating room footage, home videos, "before" and "after" photos, and insight from the patients doctors and lawyers, Plastic Disasters tells a disturbing tale of scars that last a lifetime.
