Every Sunday night at 10/9c in June, BBC America presents a series of all-new documentaries that take an in-depth, honest, and often surprising look at some of the body image issues that people are struggling to overcome in their search for happiness.

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.

Louis meets an astonishing cast of characters. Eve is performing a complete makeover of Laura: boob job, brow lift, and liposuction. But does Laura fully understand the permanence - and is she even in control of this transformation? Next we meet, Kris - no he's not a movie star, he's just the pool guy. He is certain his life will change for the better if he has the perfect stomach. He doesn't have the time to get one naturally so he is paying to get a six pack sculpted onto him in double quick time. Finally, Louis meets Dr. Linder, the boob man of Beverly Hills, who points out all the breasts he's enlarged on a trip down Rodeo Drive. In his search, Louis 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 put down the cash for a procedure himself?
