In the eleventh episode of Botched season 7, titled "Go With the Toe," hosts Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif tackle some of their most challenging cases yet. First, they meet a woman whose botched breast augmentation has led to a painful and embarrassing deformity. Despite having multiple surgeries at other clinics, she has yet to find relief. The doctors must come up with a plan to fix her asymmetrical breasts while also correcting the damage done to her nipples.
Next, the team meets a man who is desperate to restore his confidence after a series of surgeries left him with an unnatural-looking nose. He developed breathing problems, making it hard to work out or enjoy physical activities. The doctors must undo the damage and create a nose that looks and functions just like his original one.
But the most shocking case of the night involves a woman who underwent toe-shortening surgery to wear a particular brand of high heels that she loves, only to develop a debilitating condition as a result. Her toes are now crooked, painful, and have become unable to function correctly. Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif are her last hope to restore her mobility and relieve her pain.
As the episode progresses, viewers see the challenges the team faces as they try to fix these botched surgeries. Through consultations, medical examinations, and delicate procedures, the doctors work tirelessly to make sure that their patients get the results they desire. Along the way, they offer insightful commentary, explaining why certain procedures didn't work and what steps they will take to fix them.
Despite the high stakes and complex medical procedures, the episode never loses its playful tone. There are plenty of humorous moments, such as when the patient desperate for a nose correction admits he's taken to wearing a surgical mask around town to avoid being recognized. Meanwhile, the woman who underwent toe-shortening surgery pokes fun at herself, joking that she should have gone to a place that specializes in making smaller shoes instead.
Ultimately, the episode highlights the importance of working with experienced, knowledgeable surgeons who put the needs of their patients first. What separates Botched from other medical reality shows is their emphasis on patient satisfaction and quality of life. As the season comes to a close, viewers can look forward to a satisfying finale that showcases the incredible work and dedication of Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif.
