Nip/Tuck is a show that follows the lives of two successful plastic surgeons in Miami. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are best friends and business partners. Sean is a family man who is always trying to improve his marriage, which is falling apart, and his strained relationship with his son, Matt. Christian, on the other hand, is the definition of playboy. He is single, charming, and a sexual predator. Together these two men are the best plastic surgery team in Florida, and their lives create endless drama.

This cultural phenomenon reveals the lives of Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy, two plastic surgeons, best friends and business partners who run McNamara/Troy, a South Beach plastic surgery practice. The men share a love for the same woman, Julia McNamara, and they seek personal happiness and professional success in different ways. The themes of youth, beauty and perfection found in "Nip/Tuck" are universal, considering how society views aging as a shameful curse, physical imperfections a grave embarrassment and Botox a vital necessity. The series has fueled the debate about cosmetic surgery, what it can and cannot bring to a patient's life, and our continued quest for true contentment.\
