Plastic surgery is very big among Hollywood stars today, and even television star Dylan Walsh, who plays a cosmetic surgeon on FX's Nip/Tuck, admits to feeling the pressure to go under the knife.

“It is nothing to be embarrassed about,” Walsh said in an interview with Hollywood.com. “You feel the pressures of looking good because that is the business. Let's face it, it is not radio.”

Walsh also pointed out that looking good has always been a priority in the entertainment industry, saying that even when he was just starting out, actors were already obsessed with maintaining an image, the only difference being that back then, all they had were trips to the gym.

“Now," he said, “…you have this option to get plastic surgery, [so] it is no surprise that a lot of people are going to it.”

Dylan Walsh admitted, however, that while he understands his fellow actors' want for plastic surgery, he sees “more and more bad work done.”

“It is not always going over very well,” he said. “In fact most of the time I think it doesn't go over very well. I think most people's reaction when they see someone who has had some work done, most of the time it is a negative reaction even if the work is pretty good. It is the change--and there is something that is usually negative.”

On Nip/Tuck, Dylan Walsh's character, Sean McNamara, and his partner, Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) accommodate clients from all walks of life, all of whom have different motivations for getting plastic surgery.

“What the show has always been about is 'What are the parameters?'” Walsh told Hollywood.com. “It is not a science like normal medicine where somebody is sick and you have to help them. This is something where it is trickier to define what is right and wrong. That is what the show has always tried to look into…”

Nip/Tuck airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on FX.
