Watch Botched

Botched is a reality television show that debuted on E! on June 24, 2014. The show is currently in its seventh season and stars two plastic surgeons, Terry J. Dubrow and Paul Nassif, who specialize in corrective and revisionary plastic surgery. Their goal is to help those who have suffered from poorly executed cosmetic procedures, either due to a lack of skill, poor decision making or simply bad luck. In each episode, the surgeons see patients who have had botched procedures and try to help them get their lives back on track.

The show is a combination of heart wrenching stories and comedic relief. The patients who come to the surgeons for help are often distressed, embarrassed and in extreme pain, both physically and emotionally. Many of them have been ostracized by society and have lost all confidence in themselves. The surgeons are very empathetic and are able to connect with their patients on a personal level. Their goal is not just to fix the physical damage done by the botched procedures, but to also help the patients regain their self-esteem and confidence.

Most of the patients on the show come to the surgeons for help after having undergone a series of futile surgeries elsewhere. They often have unrealistic expectations, which were not met by their previous doctors. Terry and Paul have to manage their expectations whilst still taking into account their wishes. Sometimes, the patients are in such a bad shape that the surgeons have to turn them away, or refer them to a different medical professional.

The show has received criticism for promoting plastic surgery as a solution to all problems. However, both the show and the surgeons make it clear that plastic surgery is a last resort, and that the core value of the procedures is to surgically correct physical conditions that have impacted a patient

Botched is a series that ran for 8 seasons (167 episodes) between June 24, 2014 and on E!
