Bill and Kim 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, eye 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 plasma televisions.

Bill and Kim are a very close knit brother-sister team. Both are self-conscious and have shied away from life as they've faced tough times, practically raising themselves after their father passed away years ago. While Kim is single and hasn't had a relationship in years, Bill would like to break out of his shell and gain self-confidence in his appearance for his longtime partner, Blake. Through the years, their appearance has suffered, and now that Kim's son is grown, the siblings want to get a new look and lease on life-family style!

Bill's procedures included nose job, brow lift, lower eyelid lift, liposuction of chin and love handles, Foto facial on forehead scar, Botox around eyes, Restylane to forehead scar and nasal labial fold, electrodesiccation on chest and left temple (high frequency energy for mole on forehead and spots on chest), at home medication to lighten scars, at home products (exfoliating cleanser, enhancing moisturizer, vitamin C serum, retinal cream, sunscreen), LASIK eye surgery, gum repositioning, four da Vinci porcelain veneers and Zoom whitening.

Her makeover was achieved without any plastic surgery and solely by diet and exercise.
