Documentary Film Series Explores Life After Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

The Aesthetic Society today released ‘Beyond the Before & After,’ a four-part series documenting the transformative journey and life after plastic surgery.

This docuseries aims to tell unique patient stories from real people across America who have undergone aesthetic plastic surgery. Whatever the reason - surgery post weight-loss or a total transformation - people seek aesthetic plastic surgery to pursue positive changes in their lives.

“This film series goes beyond the surface to shine a light on the less told emotional journeys our patients go through before, during, and after plastic surgery,” says Melinda Haws, MD, communications commissioner of The Aesthetic Society. “This is our opportunity to change the conversation around aesthetic plastic surgery and demonstrate that our goal is more than physical changes, it’s to change lives.”

The debut series seeks to provoke a new understanding of how aesthetic plastic surgery positively impacts people's lives, beyond the superficial. In this series, The Aesthetic Society gives patients the platform to tell their untold stories of how plastic surgery helped transform their lives, not just physically but emotionally.

“Patients undergo aesthetic procedures for a variety of reasons and the patient/physician relationship plays a critical role in empowering their confidence for the desired outcome,” said Carrie Strom, president, Global Allergan Aesthetics and SVP, AbbVie. “The Aesthetic Society does an incredible job of looking into the lives of patients with this series and we are proud to be their partner.”
