Ep 8. Lumpy Lipo And Slippy Nippy

In Botched season 5 episode 8, titled "Lumpy Lipo And Slippy Nippy," viewers are introduced to two individuals who have sought out the help of plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif to fix previous botched procedures.

The first patient, named Gretchen, had multiple liposuctions done by various doctors over the years, but the results have left her with lumpy and uneven skin on her thighs. She explains that she's now self-conscious about wearing shorts or bathing suits and hopes that the Botched doctors can help her feel confident in her body again.

Dr. Dubrow examines Gretchen's thighs and explains that the lumps and bumps are a result of previous surgeries where the doctor didn't properly address her pre-existing cellulite. He proposes using a laser device called Cellfina to help smooth out the skin and even out the bumps. As Gretchen undergoes the procedure, she expresses how grateful she is to have found Dr. Dubrow and feels hopeful about the results.

The second patient, named Alicia, had a breast augmentation done by another surgeon, but the implants have shifted and caused one of her nipples to be positioned too high up. She explains that the misplacement of the implants has caused her to feel self-conscious and uncomfortable in her own body.

Dr. Nassif examines Alicia and determines that the implants need to be removed and replaced in a different position. However, he warns Alicia that the procedure will be more complicated than a typical breast augmentation due to the previous damage that the implants have caused.

As Alicia goes into surgery, her nerves show, but Dr. Nassif reassures her that he'll do everything he can to give her the best possible outcome. The surgery is successful, and Alicia shares her excitement with the doctors about finally feeling comfortable and confident in her own skin.

The episode also includes a segment on recurring patient Rodrigo Alves, who has undergone numerous plastic surgeries over the years. He discusses his latest procedure, which involved having his ribs removed in order to achieve a smaller waistline. Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif express their concerns about Rodrigo's obsession with plastic surgery and the potential risks involved with such extreme procedures.

Overall, "Lumpy Lipo And Slippy Nippy" highlights the importance of finding a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and the potential risks and consequences of botched procedures. The episode also serves as a reminder that plastic surgery should be approached with caution and careful consideration.
