The Plastic Surgery Network wants to put you under the needle — thanks to a new Apple TV app, you can now answer all your plastic surgery questions without setting foot in a doctor's office.

These days, it's hard not to wonder about the power of a little nip, tuck, or injection. Between society's growing interest and the futuristic new innovations in beauty — think injections designed to mimic your fave Instagram filter or plasma injections straight out of a sci-fi movie — it's no wonder curiosity about cosmetic procedures is up.

The Plastic Surgery Network, a community forum designed to "increase communication, comprehension, and of course, be the ultimate guide through an exceptional plastic surgery experience," is coming to Apple TV in an effort to become a Netflix-meets-Yelp approach to take you inside the surgeon's office — without ever leaving your couch.

According to a report by Forbes, the new content stream caters to potential patients, allowing you to dive into an endless stream of Snapchat-like videos, upload your questions, and check out surgeon reviews. The TV app is also gearing up to include augmented and virtual reality elements in 2018 — think being able to "walk in" to a surgeon's office and "chat" with a doc about the unexpected ways you can use Botox — according to Forbes.

Given the potential advantages — an easy way to understand complex procedures and before-and-after animations, all from the comfort of your own home — it might not be that much of a stretch to start swapping some of your Stranger Things binge time to get lost down the rabbit hole of cosmetic procedures. Pass the popcorn.
