Extreme Makeover, Thursday nights 9/10c on ABC, offers a new twist to the old makeover story. Over 7,000 applicants from across the United States applied to have not only their make-up and hair done, but also their entire bodies. Participants have found their sense of self-appreciation restored as well as their confidence.

What makes this show extreme is that applicants are not just undergoing conventional makeover staples such as new clothes, make-up and hair. Rather, participants of Extreme Makeover benefit from an array of experts known as the “Extreme Team.” This team is comprised of cosmetic surgeons, stylists, nutritionists, trainers and fashion experts. They guide and educate the participant through each stage of the makeover process. A major part of that makeover experience is plastic surgery.

How far do you go?
