half-cut-surgeonSixty-four-year-old Texan Jenny is severely overweight and is planning to have extensive cosmetic surgery - liposuction, a tummy tuck and a breast lift - to correct this. But initially, Jenny is only going to have surgery to one side of her body.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr Robert Ersek will carry out this unique and highly controversial experiment as he performs the operations on just one side of her body from shoulder to foot, leaving the other half exactly as it is. Dr Ersek is doing this to show that surgery alone can have dramatic effects and he will use images of Jenny's 'half body' surgery to show the difference his work can make. Around seven weeks after the operations, he will complete the procedures on the other side of her body, completing her transformation.

This documentary follows Jenny's preparations for surgery, the extensive procedures themselves and the public's reaction to the results.
