Addicted to Beauty is an American reality television show on the Oxygen US television channel about a Plastic surgery and Day spa located in San Diego, California.

Synopsis

The show focuses on the relationships between the staff at the Changes Plastic Surgery practice (owned by Dr. Lee) and the new business partnership by Dr. Lee and Dianne York-Goldman.
