I was seeing the future of
Medicine.
Plastic surgery?
The wave of the future.
Tell me what you don't like
About yourself.
My ass.
My eyes.
My knees.
Your knees?
Everything.
Your right eye is half a
Millimeter higher than your
Left. i'll give you botox here
And here. the breasts could go
One size bigger. and finish off
With some abdominal lipo.
Would you have to fix
Anything?
Liposuction right here.
Now, your boobs, lift them just
A little bit. here... and here.
You are a model of physical
Perfection.
But i can be better.
I've identified these as my
Problem areas.
Diet? is that what we tell the
20 people a week who come in
Here? we're in the quick fix
Biz.
I think you could go up to a
Double "d. " a "c. "
Can i go bigger? ohh!
I want to do whatever it
Takes to be beautiful.
Beauty is symmetry, and you
Don't have any.
Tell us what you don't like
About yourselves. is that what
You still ask all your consults?
Well done. you remembered.
Yeah.
Do you remember us?
Of course. uh, maureen and
Marshall ayres from miami.
You first came to see us in '02,
Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. real estate
Brokers, right? "if you want
Someone who cares, buy your home
From ayres. "
Ah!
Yeah, we figured that getting
Dual facelifts would help to
Boost our business back then.
The housing market was so hot,
You know, you needed to do
Anything you could to compete.
Image was everything, and
Projecting success meant looking
Younger.
Of course. and those are
Ours, too, aren't they?
Yep. oh, and...
My calf implants. heh heh.
They still look great.
Don't they?
Yeah.
Huh?
So what brings you to los
Angeles?
You guys.
Ok, what were you thinking?
Maybe a feather lift, or remove
Some of the puffiness around the
Eyes?
We want you to, um...
Reverse everything.
You guys sold us a bad bill of
Goods.
So let me get this straight.
You want us to undo your
Facelifts.
And take out the implants.
So you can look worse.
So we can look real.
Forgive me, but for your ages
You both look pretty good.
Pretty good? i think they
Look great. the real issue is
Not about undoing anything,
It's about teaching you about
The techniques that we use
Today.
You don't get it. it's not
About refining a procedure,
It's the whole concept.
Look, back in the 1940s,
Doctors recommended cigarettes
To their patients to calm them
Down. now look what we know
About those cancer sticks.
It's no djfferent.
Nobody ever died from looking
Too young or looking too
Beautiful. if you want to take
Them out, that's fine.
Do whatever you gotta, ok?
But it's not gonna cost you any
Less than it did when we put
Them in.
We were hoping there would be
No charge.
Our business has dropped
Over 50% in the last 3 years,
Just because of how we look.
We used to be the faces you
Could trust. but with this
Tightness, we look like we're
Just advertising our own
Self-loathing.
Would you buy a house from
Someone like that?
We made the choice to get the
Work done, but we were led to
Believe that society accepted
It. you know, the times they are
A- changing, and if you guys
Don't keep up, you're gonna get
Swept away just like us.
Oh, sean. christian, would
You grow up, for god sakes?!
For god sakes.
Dr. cruz?
Hi. i'm daniella creighton.
Your friendly drug dealer.
Oh, right, right, right,
Right.
Very cute.
Chicken?
I think it's a turkey.
Uh, so what's the, uh, new
Groundbreaking anesthesia i must
Have?
Sunedra. prospropofol
Disodium. and it converts into
Propofol once inside the body.
Ok, well, hit me. why is
Sunedra better, in 10 words or
Less?
Uh, eliminates negative
After-effects of general
Anesthesia 89% of... time.
You just made it.
was that 10?
Yeah, that was 10.
What is it, lizzie?
We came as soon as we heard
Your shriek.
Does this belong to you?
I've never seen that turkey
Before in my life.
Dr. christian troy. how are you?
Daniella creighton.
Great.
Penkala pharmaceuticals.
Sean mcnamara. it's nice to
Meet you.
It's nice to meet you, too.
I've got some great discounts.
Uh, two of our best clients
Recently took early retirement,
So we're overstocked.
Really? anybody we know?
Dr. chaiken and dr. gaines.
Chuck gaines? jesus, he's
Younger than i am.
I think he got depressed.
He kept saying how plastic
Surgery was over and he didn't
Want to be the last one to turn
The lights out.
So, will you take a look at the
Clinical tests results and get
Back to me?
I sure will.
Even if it's a no.
I will.
It was really nice meeting
You.
It was really nice meeting
You.
Yeah, see you.
Ciao.
Wow.
Was she really coming on to me.
She was wearing a wedding
Ring, liz.
Yeah, so?
Married women have flirted with
Me before. i mean, you know,
It's called bi-curious.
It's called buy my stuff.
You know, i don't think she
Was here just to... sell me
Drugs.
I mean, after 30 years of being
A lesbian, i think that i have
Some instincts about these
Things, you know.
Fine. just be careful, ok?
You only have one kidney left.
Oh, you turkey.
Wow. couples coming in to
Have their plastic surgery
Reversed. doctors like gaines
Closing their doors. this might
Be a trend we're looking at.
Jesus, one couple and a
Retiree and you start to panic.
I'm just saying it might be
Smart to diversify, maybe bring
On a dermatologist, do more
Fillers.
You ever eaten at lawry's?
It didn't change its menu when
The rest of the country decided
To change its eating habits.
It stuck with what it did best,
Right? meats, potatoes, salads.
Plastic surgery will die when
People begin to look at
Themselves for beauty and
Self-esteem. and a herd of geese
Will fly up my ass.
♪ make me beautiful ♪
♪ make me...
A perfect soul,
A perfect mind,
A perfect face,
A perfect...
Life *
You're the perfect candidate
For injectibles.
You a smoker, sean?
No.
Never?
No.
You drink, though. looking at
Your face, i'd say you're a
3- scotch-a-night man.
This crepey area here-
Dehydration.
Nothing turns you into an old
Man faster.
I can see i need some help.
What is your plan?
Let's start with 15cc of
Cosmoderm in the lip les.
Been feeling a little bitter and
Judgmental lately? now no one
Will know what you're thinking.
They'll just be drawn to your
Positive, boyish charm.
10cc of radiesse, bye-bye,
Jowls.
10cc of lidocaine...
And definitely some botox.
How amazing is that?
Hmm. not bad.
Stay there.
I don't do this for everyone,
But you are so cute.
You don't feel the winds of
Change.
Plastic surgery is just not cool
Anymore. we're being called to
A higher purpose. people just
Feel wrong about self-mutilation
For youth and prestige. and who
Has 2 weeks' recovery time?
It is so 2004.
So toxins and face fillers
Are your higher purpose?
What's yours? dare i ask?
I haven't found it yet, but at
The moment, i just mutilate
People for youth and prestige.
Call me the face of 2004.
Did you have a chance to read
The results from the clinical
Trials?
Um... no. i'm sorry, but i
Have not.
Mm.
Listen, um...
Dani.
Uh, i feel very comfortable
Staying with the propofol.
I'm used to it, and, um...
I'm just gonna stay with it.
Ok, then.
Well, it was nice to have met
You.
Very nice to meet you, too.
You wouldn't want to...
I don't know, um...
Have lunch with me sometime,
Would you?
I promise, no shop talk.
How do you think your
Husband's gonna feel about that?
We're... we're separated.
But you're right. i'm sorry.
I just-i have these thoughts...
Fantasies, and i never act on
Them, but... you just-you seem
So-
Available?
Beautiful.
Oh, god.
I'm so sorry. i'm just-i'm
Going through a phase.
I don't eat lunch.
We always have a lot of yogurt
Here. on the other hand...
I'm very partial to dinner.
Roberta flack: * the first time
Ever i saw your face... *
I'm never gonna have a
Facelift. botox maybe, but no
Facelifts.
That's the reason you're only
An anesthesiologist, lizzie,
And not a successful surgeon
Like myself. ok? you're not
Willing to go the distance.
You're dead wrong,
Smartypants.
The reason i became an
Anesthesiologist is so that i
Could switch my specialties
Whenever i wanted. call me in a
Year when you're standing over
An empty operating table and i'm
Making bank over the heart
Institute at cedars.
Oh, look who's here.
Fancypants, huh? oh, you look
Good. maybe too good. get an
Extra hour's sleep? is that why
You're late?
Yeah, you look like a
Different person, huh?
Well, i went to see jill
Jacobson yesterday.
I sampled from her injectibles
Menu.
Why the hell did you go to
Her? we can do anything she does
And better.
Dermatologists specialize in
That kind of treatment, and
Frankly, they do a much better
Job.
Fine, ok? but when the stuff
Wears off, i don't want you
Going back to her. if anybody
Should be stabbing you with a
Needle, it's me and not the
Competition.
She's not the competition
Anymore. i hired her this
Morning.
Huh. you can't hire anyone
Without my approval.
Don't worry, you'll love her.
You're having dinner with her
Tomorrow night.
Christian troy?
That's me.
Have a seat. we're running a
Little behind today.
Hmm.
Hey.
Hmm. are they always this busy?
No. it's usually worse.
So you come here quite a bit,
Then?
Every 6 weeks.
Wow.
That must be awful.
No, it's not so bad. it's
Just like getting a haircut.
I meant wasting your time and
Money on something that doesn't
Work.
I beg your pardon?
You do realize that if you
Only use injectibles, you'll
Never be satisfied.
Sure, there's the high of
Looking good when you first get
It done. but then you start
Seeing the spots the doctor
Missed right away.
Like these lines, here.
Of course, the doctor's only too
Willing to squeeze you in.
It's more money for her.
Thank you for seeing me
Again.
Good to have you back.
Just right here i noticed.
Ok.
You can't argue with the
Results, though.
If you're looking for real
Value and long-lasting results,
The only thing you can rely on
Is a qualified surgeon.
Take one.
Great.
Thank you.
Lois, what happened here?
I thought we were overbooked.
They all got a better offer.
How dare you get rid of my
Patients like that.
They left of their own free
Will.
Only after you fed them some
Bullshit line about the marvels
Of plastic surgery.
Actually, it was an educated
Decision based on years of
Practice. of course, i didn't do
A one-year course at a community
College to become a beautician.
so, i'm sure that i
Missed out on some of the finer
Points.
Oh, i get it.
This is some kind of test,
To see what i'm made of before
We start working together?
Oh, we're not working
Together, sweet cheeks.
See, my partner needed my
Approval for you to come aboard
And i came to tell you that i
Don't approve.
Things are really bad, aren't
They?
Excuse me?
The business. it must be.
Or you wouldn't look like such
Shit.
I think you need my help.
I got a better idea. you come
To my office, and i'll help you
Fill out that cleavage of yours.
What are you, an "a" cup?
Is that a problem for you?
That and your pancake ass,
But, um, we could fix that, too.
Hmm. and, uh...
What exactly would you do to my
Ass, dr. troy?
Why don't you just give us
A quick look here, huh?
This ass?
There's a lot i could do with
That. i could definitely take
You up to a "c" cup.
Should we lock the door?
Why, huh? all your patients
Are gone.
Actually, there's probably
Another 10 out there right now.
See, i can book every 15
Minutes for 8 hours.
But since you're part of the old
Guard...
I guess you'll never get to
Experience what i really had to
Offer you. which was a future.
Tell sean i said thanks for the
Opportunity.
I will. and if you change
Your mind about the, uh, "c"
Cup, you let me know.
Shit!
Just a minute.
butterfingers.
Come on in. come in.
I'd keep your shoes on.
Ok.
Yeah.
It's beautiful here, huh?
Oh, thank you.
So, would you like some wine?
I- i got some white and some red
That my husband brought back
From napa. uh, he's an expert.
I, uh, think he knew more about
Wine than he knew about me.
Oh, god, i didn't even ask if
You drank. i just-i've heard
That most lesbians are
Alcoholics.
Oh. well, i must be in the
Super minority. um, i prefer
Red.
Me, too. isn't that wild?
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh! can i use this?
O god.
God coming to the rescue.
Oh, good.
Is this your first date with
A woman?
Is it that obvious?
Look, believe me, i'm not
Just experimenting.
I'm like 75% sure that i'm gay.
75%, huh? hmm?
I've, um... i've always been
Attracted to women.
And, um... it leaves the fact
That in all the years with my
Husband, i never once had, uh...
I know.
Hmm.
Well, bottoms up.
Oh, shit, i didn't mean that.
The-
Mmm.
What you doin'?
I'm taking care of the other
25%.
It's-it's just, um...
I've never...
And...
I just-i don't want you to
Expect too much.
I don't expect anything. ok?
I just want you to have a good
Time. i don't care if you
Orgasm. just trust me. it's
Gonna be ok. all right?
Ok.
I trust you.
Ohh...
Ohh. ohh...
Oh! ohh! ohh!
Uhh! uhh!
Sean, you might want to call
Your little injectibles wench
And tell her she won't be having
A job here. i'm not budging on
That one, by the way, so don't
Tax you're already overworked
Brain trying to come up with a
Way to talk me out of it.
Yeah, i think we're on the
Same page about that.
Wow! what happened to you?
Too much filler.
You went back a second time?
And a third.
A third?
Yeah, laugh away, pal.
You're gonna be doing the
Correction. 5cc of hyaluronidase
Wherever she injected me.
So, fellas, i just got off
The phone with a bernie
Greenstein, who said that he's
Representing the ayers, and they
Are filing a lawsuit against us,
Claiming loss of income due to
Misrepresentation and
Malpractice.
Oh, my god, look at you.
Who'd you piss off?
Don't.
Well, he's trying to get a
Court order to see a list of
Our patients, hoping that there
Are more disgruntled folks.
Bernie greendick is an
Asshole. ok? and everything he
Touches turns to tabloid, uh,
Headlines, ok? so who gives a
Shit?
All right, could we put the
Lawsuit aside and bring the
Swelling down? please?
You're wrong, sean. we have
Plenty to worry about.
All people need to do is hear
The name mcnamara and troy in
Context with a lawsuit and we're
Screwed.
Ow.
No, no, no, we can't worry about
That. there's nothing we can do.
It's all over, anyway. the whole
Pursuit of perfection is a
Gigantic hoax. nothing changes.
We need to put up a fight,
All right? i'm gonna get a
Feather lift and you're gonna
Give it to me, and you're
Gonna show the world what we
Do here.
Uh. ow. and that would do
What, besides take you out of
Surgery for a week?
You'll be the poster boy for
Injectibles, ok? i'll be the
Face of the business and the
Future of plastic surgery.
All right, old man. you sure
You're ready to do this?
Hold on. i didn't get that.
Wait. um, can you say your line
Again for me, please?
What are you doing?
It's ok. she's filming this.
I asked her to. we're gonna put
The whole thing on youtube.
The surgery?
Yes. it's pioneering, just
Like we used to be. any luck,
This whole thing will go viral
And the world will get to see
Just how easy a facelift can be
These days.
Oh, yeah, that'll work.
We get a half a million hits,
You wait-we'll go from being
Sued to being stars again.
Yeah.
Look. i know it
Makes you a little anxious
To be on camera.
So just pretend it's not there.
Ok?
Ok.
Ok. now say your line again.
And do it good.
Uh... are you sure you're
Ready to do this?
Absolu-absolutely, doc.
heh heh.
Let's operate.
Music.
Sweet dreams.
All right... 10...
9... 8...
7... 6...
Can you feel it? i mean, the
Energy is just electrifying.
And just think, in a few minutes
We'll be at the end of an era,
And everybody who is anybody who
No longer looks the way they
Used to will be here tonight.
Speaking of that, look who is
Here. it's dr. sean mcnamara.
Sean!
Hello. don't you look
Dashing.
Well, joan, when they told me
That we'd be celebrating the
Demise of plastic surgery
Tonight, i knew i couldn't show
Up in scrubs.
and this is your
Date?
Yes. this is my new partner
Curtis.
Oh. i love your outfit.
Well, thank you. my daughter
Actually picked it out.
Oh, hello. don't tell me.
Valentino, right? crocodile
Collection? i have the same
Thing in my closet.
Well, we should get going.
We're already late as it is.
Sean, wait!
Ah! look who's here-the one
Man who single-handedly
Destroyed the fine art
Of plastic surgery,
Dr. christian troy. so what are
You doing, doc, trying to crash
The party?
No, i have to stop-
If anyone needs to be
Stopped, doctor, i think it's
You. maybe you'll learn from
The lawsuit, huh? what do you
Think about that? hey, doc! what
Are you wearing?
Oh. yeah, i got him right
Here.
Oh, sir. i'm sorry. this is a
Private party. you can't come
In. your name, it's not even on
The list. please step back.
Sean! wait!
Wait! wait!
Such a pretty pig, isn't he?
Very pretty.
But do you think he's done?
Only one way to find out. t.
Ahem.
Ooh.
Eew. a little overdone, i'd say.
Ladies, i am so sorry that
You don't like your meal.
But he just refused to let me
Tenderize him first.
Look-heh heh-we're
Starving. now, there has to be
Something that we can do.
Let's ask the man himself,
Shall we?
Good idea.
tell us what you don't
Like about yourself.
Everything.
How can you say that?
Look at me.
look at me.
i'm on the wrong side of 40.
i got a...
fake tit from a one-in-a-million
cancer.
i can't lose the pounds like i
used to. my hair keeps falling
out. my entire livelihood is
becoming the enron of surgical
procedures. and now my closest
friend, my...
biggest supporter is leaving me.
oh, quit being so negative.
you sound like sean. when you
show no fear, you project
confidence and your life will
always have the appearance of
success.
and image is everything.
is it not?
so... what can you do for me,
then?
have you thought about
injectibles?
they really are the future.
this is bullshit.
i'll get sean to do the
surgery.
thanks so much for doing this.
are you kidding?
i've been waiting 20 years
to highlight all your flaws.
why, do i have a lot?
well, for starters,
you're pompous, self-centered,
almost sociopathic in your
complete disregard for anyone
besides yourself. you have
almost no talent in the
operating room.
but you've managed
to make an entire career
riding on my coattails, all the
while insisting that you're the
one who is the real star.
for the longest time i actually
admired you for how easily life
seemed to bend to your will,
how women fell at your feet.
and then i grew to hate you for
how careless and single-minded
you could be.
now i just think it's sad,
because for someone who's so
desperate to succeed and get
recognition, i see just how
lonely you really are.
when i'm gone, you'll have
no one left in your life
who cares for you. and...
you will die alone.
am i really this ugly?
don't be upset.
let your shortcomings and your
flaws fuel you. let them push
you further than you ever
thought you could go.
when you stop striving for
perfection, you might as well be
dead, buddy boy.
i'm so sorry about what
happened.
don't be. i'm not dead.
i have so much silicone in me,
i stayed afloat for days.
don't worry about it. it's ok.
come on. i've had a really long
day.
i missed you so much.
prove it.
kimber's voice: you couldn't
save me, honey.
nobody could.
good-bye, christian.
don't worry, i'll never leave
you.
who are you?
you don't see the family
resemblance?
come give your dad a hug.
get out of my house.
you're not my father, you're
a monster.
you can try and deny where
you came from as much as you
want, but you'll always be
daddy's little boy.
uhh!
aw, are you trying to rearrange
my face, just like you're doing
to your own on the surgery table
right now?
ahh. stop fighting who you are.
my darkness is a part of you.
you have my dna, christian. you
have my dna.
although i have to admit, you
did a lot of the heavy lifting
on your own.
stop. sean, please,
don't hurt me.
oh, it'll be over before you
know it.
did you know that getting
a facelift is the physiological
equivalent of going through
a windshield at 60 miles
an hour?
please, don't. please.
i can bring him out now.
we're done.
turn that thing off.
never let me give a patient
a hard time about pain again.
ahh! ohh.
you know, under normal
circumstances, i'd rub it in.
but because you did it for
the business, i'm gonna increase
your morphine regime and say
thank you.
what do you think?
oh, i thought you looked good
already.
you didn't do this because of
a lawsuit or because you took
one for the team. you did it
because you wanted a facelift.
i noticed it while i was
shaving a couple of months ago.
nothing anybody else would see,
but i do this for a living.
everyone gets older,
christian. you know, and you're
one of those lucky ones. you're
only gonna get better looking.
hmm.
you know why i have
relationships that never last?
or why i trade in my car every
6 months?
a. d. d.? a complete lack of
a soul?
no. i hate change.
terrified by it. i don't like it
when things end. i like to end
them myself, on my own terms.
it keeps you from getting
hurt, huh?
it also keeps me alone.
i just can't accept it when
things are over.
when things are perfect, you
know.
life is not perfect. life is
messy. sometimes life is very
messy.
we still talking about me?
i'm talking about life.
you know, and wanting things to
be perfect and getting
disappointed over and over and
over because it's never gonna
be. then what happens? you end
up being alone.
hmm. depressing.
i slept with daniella.
she's great, ok. she's
absolutely great. and she's
gorgeous and she's funny
and... gorgeous.
mm-hmm.
you know, i think, ok, i've
waited and this is my reward,
right? we were making love and,
uh, she's having this orgasm
that's just...
i know. and then she, uh...
she what?
i can't even say it. i can't
say it.
ejaculated?
like a fire hose.
are you serious?
i almost drowned.
ha ha.
it's not funny.
it's pretty funny.
i mean, i told her, i said,
"it's ok. i don't mind it, i
think of it as a compliment. "
but the truth is-
the truth is you're just like
me. you want life to be easy
and clean.
that's a damn shame.
who is it?
it's me, liz.
can i come in?
i don't think so.
please?
look, i know i didn't call you,
and it's only because-
you were repulsed and
disgusted.
no.
shocked.
thanks.
only because it was
unexpected.
and it freaked me out, and i got
scared. it's not you.
i thought that women who could,
you know, you know...
squirt.
yeah, squirt. i thought they
only existed in lesbian porn.
but you are so real. and i don't
want to give up on someone
who i feel so connected to
because of my ignorance.
you are wonderful. and i am so
sorry.
hey, hon. who is it?
um, it's dr. elizabeth cruz
from mcnamara/troy. she's
a client of mine, and we
discovered that we're neighbors,
so i told her that if there was
any sample she wanted, she could
just-she could stop by.
this is my husband edward.
hi. nice to meet you,
dr. cruz.
nice to meet you.
whatever she's selling, can't
go wrong.
right.
how about i walk you out?
sure.
i'll be right back, sweetie.
ok, sure.
are you going back to your
husband?
i can't do it, liz. i can't.
i can't be gay.
you are gay.
maybe. but...
at least with him i'm normal.
i don't do that.
you're gonna miss out on
a lot of joy.
being like that doesn't bring
me joy.
it's just not how i see myself.
it's just not...
not how i want to see myself.
i'm-i'm so sorry.
me, too.
ahh, that's the kind of call
you like to get from your
lawyer.
i told you the ayers didn't
have a case. the only thing they
had is balls for trying to sue
us in the first place.
too bad. they could have
gotten a feather lift for half
off instead.
mm-hmm.
you know, i think you getting
that surgery helped our case.
so you're saying that that
inflated ego of mine could have
helped us for a change?
i'm just saying you really
puyour money where your mouth
was. i admire that.
good.
to our continued success.
cheers.
yes, cheers.
you're not drinking? it's bad
luck.
no, no, no. i'm still
recovering. you know, i don't
want to get all swelled up, look
like i came from jill jacobson's
office.
oh, yeah. that wouldn't be
good.
hey, fellas, have you seen
this? your surgery is one of
the featured videos on youtube.
you're kidding.
wow.
mm-mmm. it's already
a quarter of a million hits.
oh, look, it's over 300,000
now.
see that? i told you it would
be a hit.
oh, yeah. look at that. over
40,000 comments.
i think people are trying to
get in contact with us. is there
anyway we can get our phone
number on this website? this is
like free advertising. i told
you that lawsuit would be
the best thing that happened to
this business.
oh, you know, i'm not sure
everybody else is as enthused
about this as you are.
"what a barbaric thing to do
to someone. " "does anyone really
think plastic surgery makes
sense anymore?" "this is
disgusting. " "facelifts are so
2004."
oh, come on. it can't be all
of them. give me this thing.
maybe i need to post
a follow-up now that i'm fully
healed.
what do you guys think?
