TLC UNVEILS TWO POWERFUL NEW MEDICAL SERIES PREMIERING THIS OCTOBER: "DANGEROUSLY OBESE" AND "ABOUT FACE"

(Los Angeles, Calif.) - Today, TLC announced DANGEROUSLY OBESE and ABOUT FACE, two new medical docuseries spotlighting individuals in urgent need of life-changing care. From morbidly obese patients fighting to reclaim their health to those seeking transformative facial reconstruction after years of enduring extreme facial deformities, both series offer intimate, emotional journeys of resilience and renewal. Anchoring TLC's Wednesday night lineup this October, these compelling new additions underscore the network's commitment to telling bold, human-centered stories that inspire and inform.

DANGEROUSLY OBESE: Premieres Wednesday, October 22 at 9pm ET/PT

In TLC's new series, DANGEROUSLY OBESE, individuals attempt to lose weight and reinvent their lives with the help of renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Charles Procter, who is well known for his work on TLC's 1000-LB Sisters and 1000-LB Best Friends. Facing incredible challenges as they work to save their own lives, the series will profile people who have made the brave commitment to undergo bariatric surgery and finally make a change. Featured stories include a mother-daughter duo who have been plagued with obesity for most of their lives, a newly out and proud gay man ready to live life to its fullest, and a former softball player whose career was cut short by her obesity. Each episode will tell a new story, offering an intimate and in-depth look inside the lives of these brave individuals, following them over the course of a year or more to chronicle their deeply personal journeys. DANGEROUSLY OBESE is produced for TLC by Crazy Legs Productions.

ABOUT FACE Premieres Wednesday, October 29 at 10pm ET/PT

TLC's new medical series ABOUT FACE, spotlights a team of elite Los Angeles-based plastic surgeons as they take on some of the most complex and medically challenging facial reconstruction cases. Drs. Roostaeian, Rovelo, and Panossian work at the cutting edge of reconstructive surgery, transforming the lives of patients suffering from severe facial deformities, traumatic injuries, and rare conditions, including massive tumors, extensive birthmarks, and disfiguring accidents. ABOUT FACE captures the emotional and physical journeys of those who've been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told nothing could be done. It's not just about changing appearances, it's about restoring dignity, hope, and humanity. ABOUT FACE is produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television for TLC.
