Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery - Season 1 Episode 4 Fixing Faces
Michael Mosley examines plastic surgery, from 16th-century bondage to 21st-century botox. Thought of as a modern phenomenon, it actually started over 400 years ago with a spate of botched nose jobs. Since then, surgeons have been entranced with the idea that not only could they fix the body, but could even fix our sense of self-esteem. Presenter Michael Mosley undergoes both 16th-century bondage and 21st-century botox in his journey of discovery.
