Ep 12. Breast Lumps And Empty Noses

Season 5, Episode 12 of Botched is titled "Breast Lumps and Empty Noses". The episode centers around two patients seeking help from plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif to correct previous procedures that have gone wrong.

The first patient is a woman named Penny who has had multiple surgeries to correct her breast after a lumpectomy but is still not happy with the results. She has been left with asymmetrical breasts and an unsightly scar. Dr. Dubrow puts together a plan to use a fat graft to help smooth out the area around where the lump was removed and give her more volume in the smaller breast, while Dr. Nassif focuses on improving the appearance of her scar.

The second patient, named Catherine, had a nose job that left her with empty nostrils. She initially sought plastic surgery to fix her breathing but ended up with an even more noticeable problem. Dr. Dubrow assesses the damage and comes up with a plan to reshape her nose and use tissue from the inside of her mouth to fix the empty nostrils.

Meanwhile, the patients share their emotional journeys and the impact previous surgeries have had on their self-esteem and overall health.

In the end, the final results of the surgeries are revealed, and both patients are thrilled with their new looks. The episode offers a rare glimpse into the world of plastic surgery and the incredible transformations that can be achieved by skilled and compassionate surgeons.
