Skin Tight is a reality television series that premiered on TLC in 2016. The show focuses on individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery but are left with loose, sagging skin as a result. The show follows these individuals as they undergo plastic surgery to remove the excess skin and reveal their new bodies.

The show is hosted by plastic surgeon Dr. John Lomonaco, who performs the surgeries on the participants. He is joined by Dr. Camille Cash, a fellow plastic surgeon, and Tim Bauer, a fitness trainer who helps the participants prepare for surgery by building strength and flexibility.

Each episode of Skin Tight features a different participant who has lost a significant amount of weight and is seeking surgery to remove excess skin. The participants come from all walks of life and have lost weight in different ways - some through diet and exercise, while others have undergone bariatric surgery.

Throughout each episode, the participant meets with Dr. Lomonaco, who evaluates their physical condition and creates a plan for their surgery. He also discusses the risks and benefits of the surgery with them in detail, ensuring that they are fully informed before making a decision to proceed.

While Dr. Lomonaco performs the surgeries, Dr. Cash provides emotional support to the participants, helping them to cope with the physical and emotional challenges of undergoing such a significant transformation. She is also on hand to help with any complications that may arise during or after the surgery.

Meanwhile, Tim Bauer works with the participants to help them prepare for surgery by building strength and flexibility. He also assists them in developing healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine, which will help them maintain their new bodies over the long term.

The show is not just about the physical changes that the participants undergo. It also explores the emotional impact of significant weight loss and the challenges that come with adjusting to a new body. Many of the participants struggle with body image issues and self-esteem, and the show documents their journey as they learn to love their new bodies.

Ultimately, Skin Tight is a powerful and uplifting series that highlights the transformative impact of plastic surgery on individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. By providing a platform for these individuals to share their stories and struggles, the show helps to inspire and motivate others who may be facing similar challenges.

Skin Tight is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (33 episodes). The series first aired on January 7, 2016.
