Beauty is pain, but this might be taking things a little too literally! On Doc, a patient desperate for a sharper jawline tries an extreme DIY technique: using a massage gun to reshape his face. Unfortunately, his quest for the perfect look lands him in the hospital.

Hoping to improve his appearance and boost his social status, the patient discovers the dangerous side of the viral “looksmaxxing” trend. What seemed like a shortcut to a more chiseled jaw becomes a painful lesson in why some beauty hacks are better left untried.

Watch new episodes of Doc on FOX and stream the next day on Hulu.

00:00Did the needle aspiration, and the second dose of amsylbactam seems to be working,
00:04but he's still non-compliant to surgery and absolutely resistant when it comes to talking about any of this.
00:10You did the right thing, offering him a less invasive solution.
00:14Let's see if it softened him up a bit to want to talk now.
00:17Have you ever seen anything like this before?
00:21Nope.
00:25Hi, Mason. I'm Dr. Walker.
00:27Another doctor.
00:29Call it the deluxe package.
00:31Can I sit?
00:42Now, I spoke to Dr. Coleman and Dr. Matra, and I understand how important it is to you to not
00:47have surgery.
00:47But you're here to talk me into it anyway.
00:49Not at all.
00:51But you need to understand, depending on the circumstances,
00:54the infection itself could cause the scarring we're all trying to avoid.
00:59The integrity of the tissue under your jaw is important.
01:03It can cause tethering of the skin as it heals, which can cause asymmetry or even disfigurement,
01:09which is why we need to know if there's been prior trauma to this area and what caused it.
01:13And your facial scans clearly show it wasn't a barbell.
01:19I've seen this done with fists, hammers, even ice picks.
01:22It was a massage gun, okay?
01:26You take the guard off, and you get more precision.
01:31And that's to undo years of damage.
01:33From sleeping incorrectly, bad posture, chewing wrong.
01:40Yeah, that's exactly right.
01:43The blunt force creates calluses, and when they heal, the jaw squares out.
01:48Wolf's law. I'm familiar.
01:50It's just science.
01:52A face shape.
01:53It's a myth.
01:55Can I see some of your research?
02:05It's what you're all looking for.
02:07Who?
02:08Women like you.
02:10I hate to break it to you, but women like me tend to look for women like me.
02:17But I get your point.
02:18Did you know 80% of women only date the top 10% of men?
02:23Sounds like a high bar.
02:24My last girlfriend, total freaking Becky.
02:29She dumps me.
02:31Is that when this started? After the breakup?
02:33Started?
02:35This is how life is.
02:38When you're attractive, everything's easier.
02:41That's just a fact.
02:47Yeah, I think we're done here.
02:49Thanks for the chat.
