Dr. 90210 features interviews with the patients, semi-graphic footage of the surgeries, and before and after footage of the patients. For American broadcasts, images of genitalia, bare buttocks, or female nipples were blurred out, while European broadcasts were left uncensored. The show also examines the lives of the doctors in its lineup.

Dr. 90210 was inspired by the FX series Nip/Tuck.[1] The show began by focusing on the practice of Robert Rey, a Brazilian-American plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, and his family life. Dr. Rey has practiced with various surgical groups throughout Southern California, including the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. The show's lineup has expanded to include practices of other doctors such as that of Gary Alter, Jason Diamond, Linda Li, David Matlock, Dean Manus, Gary Motykie, and Big Brother 2 winner and specialist on laser tattoo removal, Will Kirby.[2][3]
