Time and time again we seen surgeries that look awful and atrocious. Thankfully, there are doctors such as Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif, stars of the hit TV show "Botched" can correct the worst of the worst. With that, there are somethings they have taught us throughout the show. Here are 9 things that "Botched" taught us about plastic surgery:
1. Always research your surgeon.
Research will save a lot of pain both mentally and physically, by choosing the right doctor that will be a lift off your shoulders
2. Cheap doesn't mean better.
For those who go to foreign countries to get plastic surgeries, there is a reason why they are cheap because they do not have standards of health compared to the U.S (when it comes to surgeries, food I would disagree with). Some of the time surgeries done in foreign countries will end in a disaster.
3. Always listen to the doctor
The doctor (if you choose the right one) will tell you good advice and you must listen to it. If you listen to it they will be happy, if you ignore it and go to Brazil for the 19th botched nose job, do not come back and complain.
4. Know your limits with surgery.
If you body can handle 350ccs of implants, do not go above that because the skin on your breast will thin and thus making it vulnerable.
5. If you're uncomfortable with any of it back out.
Yes the doctor will be mad if you back out before you go under anesthesia, but they will be relieved to not get a bad review on yelp.
6. Do not use the time you during the consultation to flirt with the doctor.
Plastic surgeries are not a joke and your head needs to be 100% focused on knowing what you're getting into, flirting with the doctor will make it awkward for both of y'all.
7. Do not practice medical things on yourself!
Chances are you never been in medical school, never less in a health class above the basic one we all had to take in high school. With that being said playing doctor on yourself will lead to disaster.
8. If the doctor does not have a plan for you....RUN!
There was a patient who went in for surgery, but the two doctors operating on her were arguing about the plan. She still went through it, but it was a mess for Dr. Dubrow to clean up.
9. Always be honest with your doctor!!
Be honest about all surgeries and allergies, even the minor ones. Also be honest about any and all drug use because this is critical when setting you up with medications for during and after surgery. A good doctor would not want to kill you.
