A Revision Runs Through It is the sixteenth episode of the fifth season of the reality TV show Botched. The show features two plastic surgeons, Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif, as they try to correct cosmetic surgeries gone wrong. In this episode, the doctors meet new patients who are unhappy with their previous procedures and are seeking their help.
The first patient is a young woman who had a botched breast augmentation surgery. She received implants that were too large for her frame, causing her breasts to sag and giving her a disproportionate look. The surgeons decide to remove the implants and perform a breast lift to correct the damage done. However, the patient's breasts are also asymmetrical, so the doctors have to employ a careful technique to sew the breast tissue back together in a symmetrical way.
The second patient is a woman who is unhappy with her previous tummy tuck surgery. The original surgery was performed in an attempt to remove excess skin and fat after a significant weight loss. However, the scar was unsightly and the tummy tuck resulted in a hernia. The doctors agree to perform a revision surgery, repairing the hernia and also adding liposuction to remove excess fat from the area.
The third patient is a woman who had a facelift but was unhappy with the results. She felt that her face looked too "tight" and artificial. The surgeons decide to perform a revision facelift, removing excess skin and pulling the facial muscles upwards to achieve a more natural look.
The fourth and final patient is a man who had a previous nose job that left him with a "pinched" nose that was too narrow and lacked definition. The doctors perform a revision surgery, adding cartilage to the nose to both widen and define the shape.
Throughout the episode, the doctors showcase their expert skills and knowledge as they carefully correct the damage and restore confidence to their patients. The show also highlights the importance of finding a board-certified plastic surgeon and the risks of going to unqualified and inexperienced surgeons. Overall, A Revision Runs Through It is a compelling and informative episode that showcases the remarkable work of Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif.
