Ep 9. Short Changed at the Nipple Bank 3

When it comes to breasts, size isn't the only concern. In season 3 episode 9 of Botched, titled "Short Changed at the Nipple Bank 3," Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif take on three patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their nipples.

The episode begins with an emotional consultation between the doctors and a woman named Gina. At the age of 18, Gina underwent breast reduction surgery, but her nipples were left extremely large and misshapen. She has lived with the embarrassment and discomfort of her nipples for over 30 years and is finally seeking help. Dr. Dubrow devises a unique surgery plan to reduce the size of Gina's nipples and create a more symmetrical shape.

Next up is Bret, a woman who underwent breast augmentation surgery but is left with nipples that are too large and oddly shaped. Bret explains that her nipples look like "people on vacation," with the nipple head resembling a hat and the areola resembling the body. Dr. Dubrow suggests a nipple reduction surgery combined with a breast lift to give Bret a more natural appearance.

The final patient of the episode is Ivette, a woman who underwent several cosmetic procedures in the Dominican Republic but is left with nipples that are severely asymmetrical and too high up on her breasts. Dr. Nassif uses a unique technique to lower the placement of Ivette's nipples and create a more proportionate appearance.

Throughout the episode, the doctors explain the importance of proper nipple size and placement, as well as the potential risks involved in cosmetic surgeries. They also address the stigma surrounding breast and nipple surgery and strive to empower their patients to feel confident and comfortable in their own bodies.

"Short Changed at the Nipple Bank 3" offers a compelling look at the emotional and physical impacts of cosmetic surgeries and the transformative power of skilled doctors. The episode is a testament to the importance of proper training and expertise in the field of plastic surgery.
