Love My Face, review: a skin-deep approach to a potentially fascinating subject
You don't have to trawl too far down the channels to be confronted by all kinds of medical shock docs asking us to gawp at how the human body can play cruel tricks on us. Doctor Down Below and People Like Pus: Zit ER (yes, really) are two of my personal favourites. So I was braced for a hard watch with Love My Face (Channel 4), which promised a look at the work of the surgeons at a Yorkshire clinic dedicated to treating patients whose self-esteem had hit rock bottom because of the way they looked. The brainchild of writer and motivational speaker Jono Lancaster, whose own appearance has been impacted by Treacher Collins Syndrome, the clinic is aimed at those who can't afford sky-high surgical procedure fees. Now I'm not sure what this says about me as a person, but the first trio of cases featured in the series struck me as, well, not too extreme in the medical shock doc scheme of things. Beautician Mia's alopecia had rocked her confidence, builder Terry's burns had left him feeling like he'd lost who he was, while another, Mia, a trans barista, felt judged on the basis of having a masculine jawline. They all needed help, certainly, but it felt we were on an entry-level scheme of what the clinic could offer. Which, it has to be said, is as much about offering psychological support as it is about hooking up patients with the appropriate surgeon. Lancaster, an inspirational figure, is a poster boy for positivity in light of adversity, refusing to hide from the world and helping others follow his lead by getting potential patients to open up about what's really going on behind their looks. Though it was scarcely a surprise, when our three case-studies opted for the surgical route Love My Face took great delight in running us through the full menu of medical procedures on offer. If only it had shown the same rigour when it came to giving us some hard facts on how the clinic had come about and how it actually operated. You know, stuff that wasn't all about filling its airtime with tear-jerking back stories. More about the surgeons would not have gone amiss. Some background on the people that the clinic treats and how they came to be featured on the programme would also have shown some journalistic nous. Instead it was all fluff and few facts, the story undercut by a soft-centred reality show approach – a little bit The Dog House (jolly receptionist with cute dog, chats on the sofa) and a little bit Garden Rescue (here comes the big reveal) – that did its subject a disservice. Admirable and well-intentioned as Jono Lancaster's clinic undoubtedly is, Love My Face feels like a skin-deep approach to a potentially fascinating mission.
