Nip/Tuck explores the lives of doctors Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, two talented, hot-shot plastic surgeons whose catch phrase, “Tell me what you don’t like about yourself,” sets the stage for a series filled with secrets and deception. As close friends and business partners who own an overwhelmingly successful plastic surgery practice, they attempt to bring inner peace and visceral contentment to their patients through external cosmetic surgery procedures. Although their clients aspire to cover up their pain, it is the surgeons who truly wear the masks of anguish, unhappiness and disillusionment. At midlife, the doctors question the prosperity that has brought them so much and has offered so little.

Nip/Tuck stars Dylan Walsh, Julian McMahon, John Hensley, Roma Maffia, Kelly Carlson and Joely Richardson. The series was created by Ryan Murphy (Popular). It premiered in July of 2003 on the FX cable network and since its debut, the show exploded to critical acclaim and earned multiple awards, including a Golden Globe® Award in 2005 for Best Television Series – Drama. Season Five, Part One of Nip/Tuck premiered on FX (October 30, 2007). The executive producers for Season Five, Part One are Ryan Murphy, Michael M. Robin, and Lyn Greene & Richard Levine. Nip/Tuck is from The Shephard/Robin Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
