A plastic surgeon who grew up in Aiken will star in a new Lifetime reality series about three black plastic surgeons in Atlanta.
Dr. Marcus Crawford of Aiken said "Atlanta Plastic" is the title of the show, which will also feature Dr. Wright Jones and Crawford's partner Dr. Aisha McKnight-Baron.
Crawford said the show is special because it's the first of its kind.
"There has never been a show with three African-American surgeons before," he said.
The show will focus mainly on minorities looking to get plastic surgery.
Crawford said there will be eight shows that will follow three patients each episode, one for each surgeon; and the patients' journeys will be documented from consultation to post-operation.
This is not the first time Crawford or the other surgeons have been pitched a reality show, he said. He said he gets calls from different shows frequently and usually just hang up, but this show felt right to him.
"You never quite know the angle a reality show is going for, so you have to be careful," he said. "I said yes to this show because it won't be going into any back stories that would invade our privacy or any drama that could hurt us."
The first episode will feature a middle-aged woman who seeks a tummy tuck, a breast lift, liposuction and more, Crawford said.
"Atlanta Plastic" will premiere at 10 p.m. Friday on Lifetime.
