Which reality show features people who have undergone extreme plastic surgery?

The story behind the answer

The reality show featuring people seeking help after extreme or unsuccessful plastic surgery is Botched.

The E! series follows plastic surgeons Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif as they evaluate patients whose previous cosmetic procedures produced serious complications, unwanted results, or highly unusual changes. The doctors discuss possible repairs and, when appropriate, perform corrective surgery. Patients featured on the program may have undergone multiple operations or face problems involving implants, breasts, noses, scars, and other areas.

Botched premiered on June 24, 2014. Its title refers to a procedure that has gone badly or produced a poor result, which distinguishes the series from makeover programs focused primarily on elective transformations.

Extreme Makeover is a common mix-up because it also involved dramatic cosmetic changes, but it was a broader makeover format. Hoarders and My 600-lb Life focus on different personal and medical circumstances. Botched is specifically centered on revision plastic surgery and the people seeking to repair it.
