Throughout the show, viewers follow the stories of patients who have had botched procedures, ranging from nose jobs to liposuction and everything in between. The surgeries may have gone wrong due to various reasons, either from poor surgical technique, incorrect post-surgery care, or the use of faulty equipment.

Alongside her, the team includes senior nurse, Joanna Poulton, and patient coordinator, Claudia Nour. The team is joined by a wealth of guest experts, including plastic surgeons, general practitioners, dentists, and implant specialists. This diverse team of experts brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, which is invaluable in helping patients correct previous botched procedures.

Aside from the corrective surgeries performed by the team of experts, the show also delves deeper into the emotional impact that these botched surgeries have on the patients. It explores the physical, emotional, and psychological scars that are left behind, impacts that go far beyond the physical appearance of the individual. Viewers are allowed to witness first-hand the transformative impact that the surgeries have on the patients and how it changes their lives. The show encourages open dialogue around the topic of cosmetic surgery, challenging preconceived notions and placing emphasis on the importance of informed consent.
