"Sex. Seduction. Liposuction. Find them all in the fearless Nip/Tuck, the award-winning series that's the scalpel's edge of entertainment...and the spark for debate about what cosmetic surgery can or cannot bring a patient's life.Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon play plastic surgeons/best friends whose glamorous South Beach practice is a revolving door for Season Four's hot-button issues (including a terrifying story arc about an organ-harvest ring) and human foibles (a ventriloquist wants to look like his dummy). Guest stars include Jacqueline Bisset, Larry Hagman, Alanis Morissette, Mo'Nique, Rosie O'Donnell, Brooke Shields and more. Thrills, surprises, shocks, stars abound in this 15-Episode, 5-Disc set. And all it takes is a little Nip/Tuck."

Editor's Note
This made-for-cable series is set in the flashy world of South Beach, Miami, where looking good is a full-time profession. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) are plastic surgeons. Sean is married to Julia (Joely Richardson) and has a conscience when it comes to his job, while Christian is willing to lie to get a woman into bed and onto the surgery table. Although they've been partners for years, their opposing ethical stances, as well as Christian's desire for Julia, keep the dramatic tension bristling. This release includes every episode from the fourth season of the show.

With the Carver, the show effectively challenges the logic of cosmetic surgery, asking whether it is creative or destructive (his very name suggests both an artist and a butcher). When the Carver attacks his victims, he injects them with a drug that immobilizes them, then slashes and rapes them. His act, like cosmetic surgery, exaggerates the power relationship between surgeon and client. And in this context, the male surgeons can be seen as emblems of a patriarchy that imposes ideals of beauty on women, literally, with their instruments. - Elaine Hanson Cardenas
