"Episode 311" - Witness the all-new and exciting makeovers of Aimee, a 32-year-old housewife from Las Vegas, NV and Steven, a 22-year-old artist, whom for years took care of his mother, stricken with cancer, from Clearwater, FL, on "Extreme Makeover," THURSDAY, JANUARY 13 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Aimee and Steven were given a life-changing experience, as they were able to change their looks in an effort to transform their lives and destinies and to make their dreams come true. This was all accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including plastic surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers. In addition, participants recuperate at the "Makeover Mansion," the new, luxurious mansion tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, CA, complete with stunning views, a swimming pool, fully equipped home gym and big screen televisions.

Dr. Brent Moelleken, the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon operating on Aimee, calls the surgery, "the most difficult case in his entire professional career." Indeed, the odds appear to not be on Aimee's side, and the "Extreme Team" wonders if this transformation can even be completed.
