    The surgical team correct the cosmetic surgery damage for five unlucky women who came out disfigured after their procedures went wrong. The team meet Sherri who longed for a designer vagina but instead of trimming her labia the surgeon removed them. She then had filler injected in a bid to correct the damage, but this only made matters worse. Meanwhile Claire wanted smaller breasts. After her breast reduction, she developed tissue necrosis, a rare condition which caused her them to rot, which left her with open wounds. When Dawn had gastric band surgery and a tummy tuck on the NHS, she was left with a swollen, bulging vagina. Following the birth of her five children, Louise had been left with saggy and misshapen breasts. A boob job should have improved her figure and given her back her confidence. Instead she has painful, lopsided boobs and an addiction to painkillers. Sara regretted having permanent filler injected into her face when she subsequently suffered a series of infections that have left her face lumpy and distorted. It is now up to the surgeons to try to repair the damage and restore the women's confidence. It will be painful and will take a great deal of both time and skill, but for these five women it will make all the difference to their lives.

    This week we focus on four patients. Mark from Liverpool had surgery to remove his man boobs, which resulted in his right nipple falling off. He had a skin graft to rebuild it but he ended up with something that looks like 'a piece of pepperoni'. He wants to be normal again. Mother of three Amal had permanent filler injected into her face in a bid to turn back the clock – but it has ended up turning her face into a chemical war zone. She wants it removed before it's too late and her face is damaged beyond repair. Travel agent Katrina from London had a gastric band fitted on the NHS. The resulting fifteen stone weight loss left her with four and half kilos of excess skin, which no amount of exercise will fix. Only surgery can help. Former soldier Machel from Cardiff had four dental implants fitted at a cut-price dentist and got more than he bargained for. He ended up with an infection that is ravaging his jawbone. His teeth change colour when he eats and threaten to fall out when he smiles. Machel wants a gleaming white set of teeth that will stay firmly in place. Can the surgeons correct the catastrophes and give the victims the boobs, faces, teeth and tums that they have always wanted?

    This week, 37-year-old Paula Duncan is desperate to be free of her nasty, oversized rippling boobs caused by faulty surgery. Her original surgeon used implants that were far too big for her frame, leaving her with a bust that looks so terrible she will not even let her husband see it. Can top surgeon Patrick Mallucci fix the damage? Meanwhile Niall Kirkpatrick's patient is 37-year-old Mozafar Kakawisi, the victim of a shoddy nose job in Poland. He wanted the tip reduced in size but instead has been left with a crooked, bumpy nose that looks as though he has been in a boxing match and lost. Niall sets to work to repair the damage. Michael Davies is another who has good reason to wish that he had never gone under the knife when substandard cosmetic surgery left him needing corrective procedure for a saggy belly button. The final case is 36-year-old Sherri Lee Masson, who paid a surgeon £1,900 in 2005 to have her labia trimmed. Instead, he botched the operation and removed them. She is pinning her hopes on a specialist plastic surgeon being able to repair the damage and rebuild her labia...

    We continue to follow Britain's top plastic surgeons as they work to repair the disastrous results of dodgy cosmetic surgery. We meet Rachael Dallimore, a 26-year-old from Bolton, who paid £5,000 for breast uplift surgery and implants. She ended up with horrific scarring and nothing else – no uplift and no implants. Can surgeon Nick Percival repair the damage and give her the uplift and implants that she wanted all along? The team also visits Miami to meet Rajee Narinesingh. In 2003, Rajee had cheap black market filler injected into her breasts, cheeks and buttocks. However, it was later discovered that what had been injected into Rajee was a mixture of tyre sealant, mineral oil and glue. Rita Peyton, a 37-year-old mum of one from Liverpool, wanted a bump removed from the bridge of her nose. The overzealous surgeon, however, totally removed the entire tip of Rita's nose instead. Can the surgeons help?

    Marie Eaton used to be one of Britain's fattest women, weighing in at a massive 50 stone. She underwent a gastric bypass, which resulted in her shedding over 35 stone but which has also left the 43-year-old with masses of excess skin hanging from her tiny frame. She is now consulting leading surgeon Peter Arnstein to see whether he can perform an operation to remove it. In the USA, we meet 46-year-old Apryl Brown, who wanted silicone injections to improve the shape of her buttocks. She opted to have them done on the blackmarket, a decision she would live to regret. She was injected with bathroom sealant, which caused a massive infection that resulted in her losing her arms and legs. Shenise Farrell wanted a permanent change of eye colour. As the procedure is not licensed in Europe, she took a risk and decided to have the surgery done in Panama, paying £8,000 for the privilege. Unfortunately, the procedure went horribly wrong and 31-year-old Shenise arrived home technically blind. Can leading ophthalmic surgeon Ali Mearza save her sight?

As he undergoes corrective treatment, it will take all of plastic surgeon Dr Hirsch's skill to restore Dan's manhood and his dignity. Seven years after she had permanent filler injections, 41-year-old Stacey Hohn suffered dire complications. Can cosmetic surgeon Niall Kirkpatrick do anything to salvage her disfigured lips and infection-riddled face?
