Plot
Three women Millie Gorman, Sandy McLaren and Vanessa Wagner are having problems in their lives which they believe plastic surgery can solve. Millie is a wealthy widow convinced that her sex appeal has waned along with her looks and youth; Sandy is a bored housewife whose husband regards her more as a friend than a lover; and ex-model Vanessa, who now owns a modeling agency, fears the years showing on her face will ruin any chance she has of reuniting with a former lover.
Eventually, Sandy gets breast implants which have the opposite of the desired effect on her husband; Vanessa gets an eye-lift, only to find out her ex-lover wasn't worth the trouble; and Millie, in desperation to look younger and more attractive to men, puts her life in jeopardy when she has a face-lift despite her doctor's warnings.
