Both men are Miami-based plastic surgeons and are in practice
together. On the brink of expanding their practice, their friendship is
put to the test when Sean McNamara goes off to do pro bono plastic
surgery on victims of a serial rapist/slasher.
Having reached the zenith of his success, a straight-laced plastic
surgeon begins to witness the crumbling of his dreams and the decay of
his perfect life, as he juggles a sex-addicted business partner,
adulterous wife, sexually confused adolescent son, and the myriad
bizarre and increasingly sinister clients to whom he caters.

Trivia
Sophia Bush admitted in an interview that she didn't feel comfortable making the love scenes with co-star Kate Mara.
Dr. Christian Troy's character was originally named Dr. Christian Vega. The name was changed when Julian McMahon was cast in the role.
In the first series, Roma Maffia's character (Liz) has the surname Winters. From series 2 onwards, her surname has changed to Cruz.
Each episode is named after a character undergoing plastic surgery in the episode.
The stereo used while performing surgery is made by Bang & Olufsen from Denmark.
Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are two plastic surgeons running a partnership in Miami, Florida with different issues to life. Sean is a wishy-washy, weak-kneed, family man who distances himself with work to avoid his dysfunctional home life which includes his needy and spiteful wife Julia, his rebellious teenage son Matt and young daughter Annie. The more slicker Christian is an arrogant, narcissistic, unethical, ladies man who worships wine, women, and the all mighty dollar, and will do just about anything to get what he wants (lie, cheat, steal, blackmail and seduce)and has no qualms about practically anything.
