These Would-Be Plastic Surgery Nightmares Look Like Totally Different People After 'Botched'
From Rajee's cement face implants to the twins Lucy and Anna who were crushed to discover their breast implants weren't precisely symmetrical, Botched has seen some exceptionally shocking before-and-after plastic surgery transformations. Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif help hundreds of people with their corrective plastic surgery services, though they're not afraid to turn away a patient whose risks outweigh the benefits of a particular procedure. "I realize there are 10 plastic surgeons on this block who'll operate on you, but I advise you to have realistic expectations," Dr. Dubrow, 59, has said of saying no to patients "Stop trying to be perfect.
