In Botched season 6 episode 11, titled "Zombie Breasts," plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif take on a variety of cases involving cosmetic surgery gone wrong. With their expertise, the doctors aim to correct botched procedures, improve patients' body confidence, and give them a new lease on life.
One of the featured cases on this episode involves a woman who is experiencing severe complications from a breast augmentation procedure she had years earlier. The patient's breast implants have become infected and are now causing a condition known as "zombie breasts" as they necrotize the surrounding tissue and turn black. This condition not only causes significant physical pain for the patient but also takes a toll on her mental and emotional health.
The team of doctors works to remove the infected implants and clean up the area. They then perform a breast lift and insert smaller, healthier implants to give the patient a more natural and attractive appearance. Along the way, they must navigate the challenges of operating on tissue that has been damaged by long-term infection and scarring.
Another case in this episode involves a young woman who underwent a Brazilian butt lift procedure that left her with a lopsided backside. Her buttocks are also causing her back pain, making it difficult for her to sit or stand comfortably. Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif perform a revision surgery to balance out the woman's buttocks and relieve the associated pain.
The doctors also see a patient who has developed an unsightly, asymmetric appearance in her lips after receiving lip fillers from an unqualified practitioner. They perform a lip reduction procedure to re-proportion her lips and restore a more natural look.
In addition to the patients featured in these cases, the doctors interact with other individuals who are struggling with the aftermath of botched procedures, including a woman who had a tummy tuck that left her with a "shelf" of excess skin and a man whose nose was severely altered by a previous surgery. Through their compassion and skill, Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif work to help all of these patients achieve the results they desire and lead happier, healthier lives.
Overall, "Zombie Breasts" is another intriguing and thought-provoking episode of Botched that showcases the incredible work of two talented plastic surgeons. Viewers will witness the challenges and rewards of cosmetic surgery, as well as the profound impact it can have on patients' mental and physical wellbeing.
