Am I beautiful?

Does cosmetic surgery make you happy? Miriam and Paulina, who want to go under the knife to feel good in their bodies again, hope so. But tummy tucks and "mommy makeovers" involve unexpected risks. Luise and Thommy, on the other hand, rely on Botox and hyaluronic acid injections to look as young as they feel. The documentary series questions why beauty is so important to us and how beauty ideals influence our self-image. Prominent social media influencers such as Jasmin Gnu and Masha Sedgwick have also had "something done". How do they feel about it now?
