Summary *This program depicts surgical procedures*Inside the Body Beautiful is a 2-part series exploring the physiological and psychological changes that happen as young people strive to alter their appearance. Using computer graphics we travel inside the body to explore the science behind the most popular beauty and cosmetic treatments. This week Inside the Body Beautiful looks at the physiological and psychological pressures young people face as they battle the bulge. Using computer graphics to travel inside the body this film explores the science of fat, how we get it and what happens to our body when we get rid of it. We follow Ebonie on a crash diet as she attempts to lose one stone in a month to shape up for her summer holiday. Despite the rapid weight loss she soon discovers over half of this is muscle and water and not fat, most of which will go straight back on as she start to eat properly again. Desperate to achieve his perfect body, 27-year-old Joe from Essex has decided to undergo an extreme vaser liposuction operation. For over $25,500, ultra-sound technology will not only remove his fat but sculpt it to create his ideal physique. His fat is also injected back into his body to pump up his pecs and chest. We also discover the science behind the diet pills which left Sam in a mental health unit. 23-year-old Hayley has struggled with her relationship with food all her life. She is one of the 2% of people in the UK who suffer from binge-eating disorder. Scientists believe binge eating is a way of blocking emotions and for Hayley food became a coping mechanism for her hatred and dissatisfaction with her own body.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Series produced and directed by Sue Learoyd, Inside the Body Beautiful is a BBC Production
