The Plastics is a digital show produced by Hearst Digital Media that explores the world of plastic surgery. The show follows a group of women who are all connected to the industry in some way, whether as patients, doctors, or influencers. It provides an inside look at the procedures and the people involved, as well as the impact that plastic surgery has on their lives.

The show is hosted by Kelsey Nixon, a chef and lifestyle expert who brings her bubbly personality and curiosity to each episode. She interviews a range of guests, from plastic surgeons to reality TV stars, to provide a well-rounded view of the industry. Each episode focuses on a specific topic, such as breast augmentation or injectables like Botox and fillers.

One of the key themes of The Plastics is the idea that plastic surgery is not just about physical transformation, but also emotional and psychological growth. Many of the women featured on the show talk about how their surgeries have helped them feel more confident and empowered. Others share their experiences of struggling with body dysmorphia or the pressure to conform to society's unrealistic beauty standards.

Throughout the series, viewers get to see the procedures themselves, in graphic detail. For some, this may be too much to handle, but for others, it will provide a fascinating insight into the world of plastic surgery. The surgeons are all highly skilled, and they take the time to explain each step of the process to Kelsey and the viewers at home. They also talk about the risks involved and the importance of choosing a reputable surgeon.

The Plastics is not just about surgery, however. It also explores the wider cultural impact of plastic surgery, particularly in the age of social media. Influencers like the Kardashians have popularized procedures like Brazilian butt lifts, and the show looks at the potential dangers of this trend. It also looks at the impact of cosmetic surgeries on different communities, such as the LGBTQ+ community or people of color.

What sets The Plastics apart from other shows about plastic surgery is its focus on the human stories behind the procedures. The women featured on the show are not just numbers or statistics, but real people with their own unique journeys. The show humanizes the industry, and reminds us that there are real people behind the procedures, both the patients and the doctors.

Despite its subject matter, The Plastics is not a sensationalist show. It does not glorify plastic surgery or promote unrealistic beauty standards. Instead, it presents a balanced view of the industry, acknowledging both its benefits and its potential drawbacks. It is a thoughtful and thought-provoking show that is sure to spark conversation.

Overall, if you're interested in the world of plastic surgery or just curious about why people choose to undergo these procedures, The Plastics is a must-watch. It is a fascinating, engaging, and informative show that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the people behind the surgeries.
