Synopsis
Which method is best?

The search for the fountain of youth is something that fascinates most people and we are all bombarded with suggestions on how to achieve a younger look. But what works the best? The fast method with plastic surgery – or the hard way with a new diet combined with exercise? In Salad Or Surgery we follow two people who are unhappy with their looks and who dream of looking younger. One person goes down the ‘salad’ road and opts for diet changes, exercise and alternative treatments to get a younger look and the other goes down the ‘surgery’ route opting for fillers, laser and facial surgery in order to get rid of aging signs. Using different methods to achieve their goals the participants will be judged by a panel who will guess their actual age and whether they have used salad or surgery to get a younger look. Which will be triumphant... salad or surgery? What really is the best way to grow young? The truth can’t be denied -as we are sure to find out.
