LOS ANGELES – August 5, 2014 – E!’s hit plastic surgery revision series “Botched” has been picked up for a second season on the heels of record breaking numbers in its debut season on E! Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif will return for season two with the series’ inaugural run concluding Sunday, August 17th at 10:30 PM ET/PT. The premiere season of “Botched” is currently pacing to be E!’s most-watched docu-series among Total Viewers and A18-49 since 2011. It’s been seen by nearly 24M Total Unique Viewers and over 13 Million Adults 18-49 across all runs to date. The series is currently averaging 1.54 Million Total Viewers and nearly 1 Million Adults 18-49 in its Sunday time slot. “Botched” notched its most-watched premiere ever this past Sunday 7/27/14 averaging 1.7M Total Viewers and is the #1 show on Sundays from 10pm-11pm among Women 18-34 and Women 18-49 (*excludes BET Awards & Movies). The second season is slated to premiere Q1 2015.
In the multi-billion dollar world of plastic surgery, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for some patients, the quest for ultimate perfection ends in disastrous results. In their debut season, Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif, offered viewers a peak into some of their most difficult operations, reversing the effects of horrendous plastic surgeries. The series captivated audiences in its premiere run on E! as most people only see the benefits of good surgery and are not exposed to the other side. The doctors were tasked with restoring, fixing and adjusting what appeared to be unfixable, botched procedures.
Season one of “Botched” covered over 20+ surgeries/procedures ranging from crippling nose jobs to the more bizarre cases like altering a “uniboob” and horrendous tummy tucks from Tijuana to counseling a man who spent over $100,000 to look like Justin Bieber. Viewers followed patients every step of the way from the complex medical procedures to the intensive recovery process that resulted in the patient reveal. Thousands of people are submitting their stories for season two including a former professional athlete in need of facial work, a man who had a botched surgery to look more Asian and a woman who contracted a flesh eating disease during surgery in Mexico.
I can’t believe you people watch this shit.
Last sentence is the best statement I have ever read!!
Love Botched! The bravo husbands are great together, they keep me in stitches, laughing.
Former pro athlete needing facial work? I am guessing Bruce Jenner.
Or OJ Simpson? Prison has made him fat. He doesn’t like that people no longer see him as he was when he murdered his ex wife and her friend (allegedly..yeah, yeah). Anyway, he’s hoping for parole, so he can get back into shape. Maybe a little lipo?
Jenner is starting to look very strange, ala Michael Jackon. Big, very plastic transformations. I would really like to know what’s up with him.
I think I posted about Bruce here. He is going through a gender transformation process. I am not trying to be funny or cute. He really is.
I didn’t want to mention that, I didn’t know if it was true or not. Well…If that is what he really wants, and takes the time to be absolutely sure…I can’t fault him for that. I wish him well. I just hope Kris doesn’t jump on it an exploit his journey for a storyline. I can see her doing that.
It just makes me sad that people will butcher themselves in order to please others. I used to hate Michael Jackson…until I met him. I was working a ride at Universal Studios, and he came through. OMG….he looked like a wax figure, with pits and dents, etc. His face was a deathy gray. Here was this celebrity who had millions, and fame, etc…and all I could do was feel pity for him. He was so troubled.
I really like this show. I wish they would do Mama Elsa!
You know, I actually tried to google Mama Elsa once, just trying to find out what happened to her face. I’d love her on the show explaining exactly everything that she had done and went wrong.
You would be amazed how many comments I get (that I don’t put through) asking me if they can be on the show, if the surgery is free… etc, etc, there are a lot of people out there with jacked up surgeries it seems.

You would be amazed at how many people don’t research the surgeon. They see cheap cheap and go for it. Many doctors who do plastic work are not board certified plastic guys. Many are ENTs GYNs and general surgeons. As the the guy with the bad hair transplant said, fancy Beverly hills office does not guarantee a good surgeon.
I believe she had some kind of fillers injected (in another country) and they hardened. She was a beautiful woman.
I just can’t imagine the pain being worth it. Or the risk. I’m still thinking of having reconstructive surgery…they are giving me a year (minimum) to think about it. Is it really worth it? Do I really care what other people think of the way I look? Lots to consider.
It’s really nothing to rush into. There should also be psychological elements considered before surgery is done. That is the only thing I like about “Botched”. They turn down those who do surgery for the wrong reasons (like the Justin Bieber wannabe).
Remember the guy who had tons of plastic surgery to make his face look like a cat? He eventually committed suicide. Sad.
If reconstructive surgery will make you feel better and help in your healing go for it.
5cats: That’s just it. Right now, I don’t see any good reason to have the reconstructive surgery. I’m still dealing with the pain from the mastectomy, and that was 5 months ago. (Wow, that long?) At this point, I would be putting myself through more pain, because others are “upset” about the woman with one boob. Yep…call me “cyclops”. 🙂 Do I care what they think? No. Do I care that they stare? No. (If they are too rude, I’ll give them a real treat and flash them.) I just don’t care what others think of me. That’s where I stand right now.
If you had a mastectomy that removed muscles and lymph nodes very painful recovery, and the chemo and radiation helps make you feel awful on top of it. Reconstructive surgery is painful. I just hope you feel better each day.
5cats: That’s exactly what I had done. I had 2 options for reconstruction: an implant, or reconstruction using muscle from my abdomen. I researched both, and they both sound extremely painful, with long recovery times. I’ll probably just stay the way I am. I’m 59 years old…I don’t need boobs.
In fact, the only reason I would do reconstruction is to get the other boob reduced and lifted. Right now, I have to throw the damned thing over my shoulder to get anything done around the house.
They usually only take abdominal fat for breast recon. It gives you a nice flat stomach afterwards. Ive been doing this almost 15yrs. The implant is under the muscle and it can be very sore for sometime.
Thanks for the info, bravogirl24/7. I still have a few months before they will go into details on options.
Cat, my BFF had a double mastectomy 3 years ago at age 38 and she did tissue expanders before her reconstruction. During reconstruction she got an infection which then caused her to lose one of her implants. She’s been with 1 boob now for about 2 years and is now headed into her final surgery for her last implant. It’s been a long, hard road for her but she has done it with laughter and grace. So, bless you with whatever decision you make. It’s yours and yours alone. My BFF has a 14 year old son and she worries his peer will make fun of him regarding her, but kids are pretty cool. 🙂
@Shellbelle: You are so right. Humor and attitude are vital for recovery.
Sorry to hear about your BFF, and her son. If she has the positive attitude and strength you say she does, he will be fine. He will see that strength, and know that whatever kids or others say, it’s more of a reflection on THEM than on HIM. He should be very proud of his mom. I’m fairly certain that if kids make fun, he will handle it accordingly. Sounds like he has a great role model.
Please give them my best. <3
I wouldn’t mind some lipo but I hear the fat eventually comes back and in the wrong places.
@Jarlath – Of course it comes back. It’s only a temporary fix. Fat is always being made by the body. I do know someone who had it done while we were stationed in Germany, I watched her son while she was having it done and first few days of recovery. It looked good at first (many said they didn’t notice so that was funny) but now since she didn’t do anything to actually lose weight i.e. exercise and eat better, she’s even bigger than before in every area.
I so agree about mama Elsa. Some of the others that should see Dr. Terry and Dr. Paul are Bruce Jenner, Kenney Rogers, and Wayne Newton just of the top of my memory. They used to be good looking. Even if they let themselves age naturally they wouldn’t look too bad, but after their surgeries they look awful.
Love this show! They are much more likable than their wives (well, and ex-wife). Terry, especially, has great commentary. I wonder how Heather feels that her hubby’s show is a hit.
I love both docs!
I wonder how many people bitch about Terry on the RHOC comments, but like him on Botched? Like hello! He’s the same person on both shows!
They have big numbers because millions of teenaged boys and men know they an see almost boobs. Albeit wonky mutilated almost boobs.
I absolutely love Terry I’m so happy he got his own spin-off and a chance to look and sound like the intelligent man and great surgeon that he is.
So true-Terry is great, I remember a comment he made in a limo ride last season when they were discussing working, something about Brooks not working, and Terry said he spends all day looking at boobs-he wasn’t kidding! So smart and professional, such a cute family! Heather could be a little jealous with all the attention Terry is getting!
He seemed awfully eager to start an argument across the table with a woman at a televised dinner party, just saying.
As I understood Terry was very upset about what he was being involved in,which incidently turned out to be more of Tamra’s lies, that whole scene was caused by Tamra desperately trying to ” fill in” Heather and Terry about the shannon’s “craziness” before everyone realised her involvement . She was petrified shannon would confront Terry and Heather. My assesment of him comes from watching season after season and this one moment was no indication of character, it was a shocked reaction but thats just my 2 cents worth.
The way I saw it, Terry was caught off guard by what he heard and blurted his question to Shannon without thinking. Who could have known the evening would turn out like it did? It takes a special kind of crazy for that shit to go down like it did and both Tamara and Shannon fit the bill.
Tamra, not Tamara. Sorry, TT.
I like this show. It’s funny how the hubby’s have better rated shows than the wives. Oh and I have heard that Camille AND Adrienne are coming back as friends of the HW’s. Shoot me now……………
I hope not Adrienne – can’t stand her..”Charo” – LOL
I actually love the show. I never plan to watch it, but if flipping channels and it is on I always end up watching till the end.
It is a great because it let’s people know that they need to think twice before they get surgery that sometimes the don’t need.
I have watched the show a few times, but it basically boils down to a nose job and a boob job every episode. I am only going to watch that so many times. In fact I haven’t watched the last few episodes. I just get grossed out every time Terry pops out a boob implant.
Yep, I summed it up as a nose job, a boob job and a whack job on the two episodes I watched. 🙂

Agreed.
I have to admire them for tactfully refusing to operate on the whack jobs. The Justin Bribed wanna be and the guy who wanted ab implants. He’d already had pecs, his butt, calves, and deltoids done. Looked like he had a ton of facial work done too.
Agreed, again.
Is that any different from the Housewives formula? A dinner party, a fight, rehash ad nauseam and repeat for season after season
In that photo, it looks like the girl got an ass implant on her chest.
There was a guy in one episode who got a breast implant… in his head. That happened.
I just watched that one. They had to stretch his skin to hide a scar..It was a good job but the guy didn’t seem happy at the end.
And the docs were upfront with him before the surgery. I have to give them that. Told him they may not be able to completely eliminate the scar. The guy expected miracles.
Love the show. Terry and Paul are great together. Lots of funny one liners, sometimes aimed at Heather, whatever model Paul is dating or even Adrienne (of course her name isn’t used). I’m glad it got picked up for another season.
I am sure Terry paid for the fake orgasm line.
Love the show vs all the scripted, contrived drama reality shows. The plastic surgery cases they choose are extreme but real and I like that they give people good advice. Both of the doctors are likeable and humorous. Interesting listening to the reasons some of these people went overboard on the plastic surgery. I would love a little nip and tuck myself.
Tamara why can’t you believe we people watch this shit?
Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one watching this madness – LOL! I love both Terry and Paul, especially how Terry handled Janice Dickerson.
I think its interesting the way they decide whether or not they will actually do the any surgery. The one where the woman went to Mexico and they used ice instead of “sleep” for her tummy tuck. Incredible.
Janice Dickinson??? OMG she is one bitch! She goes to my hairdresser….she walks in, never makes an appt. and expects everyone to kiss her ass. I was sitting in the chair getting my hair highlighted talking with my stylist on one occasion, she just walked up and began her own conversation with him and pretended I was not there. He tried to be gracious and not call her out. Then she goes and gets her hair washed and while under the dryer she screams across the salon “hi so & so” etc. She expects people to drop what they are doing to blow dry her hair…..One time when I was leaving we were in the motor court waiting for our cars at the same time. She chatted me up and asked me how I liked my hair. Then like 2 days later, I saw her at Williams Sonoma, I think she thought I was going to talk to her cause as soon as he saw me she got this weird look on her face and hid!!!!! If she only knew I dreaded her talking to me! She is a legend in her own mind.
I love the show too. Hope it stays on for a long time. Dr. Terry and Dr. Paul are great. It also show what brilliant doctors they are. I think Heather appreciates Terry, but Adrian never respected Paul. I am glad he is away from her. He seem much happier.
Paul always had a more pleasant personality than Adrienne and it seemed he truly loved her. She probably only married him for the free plastic surgery and Botox. I bet she had to take a Prozac when she read the series was renewed for another season.
I wonder how much Adrianne’s decision to return to RHOBH to close “loose ends” really is more due to jealousy or irked that Paul is on a show. I hope Paul ends up with a great partner one day. He certainly had a good example of the wrong choice.
Paul and Terry are just the greatest. Two fun loving dedicated professionals making life better for their patients. Terry cracks me up with his hilarious one liners, the man is a comic genius. Paul is so kind and caring. It brings tears to the eyes to think of the multitude of people these heroes have selflessly gone out of their way to save and repair. By golly, gosh they’re swell fellows.
This isn’t airing in Australia…yet. I may look into it. Is it bad that I’m picturing a real life Nip/Tuck like show? Damn I loved Nip/Tuck…. *mind wanders*
The doctors do have humorous banter between the two of them, but are very serious (for the most part) and professional when it comes to surgery. As it should be.
I am sure they also do a lot of pro bono work for accident victims, kids with birth defects, and war casualties. They just don’t advertise that. Most hospitals have plastic surgeons who have to respond to the ER call and I am sure they get a lot of uninsured patients.
lol You are joking, right?

Yep. My plastic surgeon was there for the mastectomy. He closed the incision, and made sure there would be enough skin to do the reconstruction, if I chose to have it. Sometimes, they do the reconstruction at the same time. In my case, I had to have radiaton, so now I have to wait a year.
I think it depends on the hospital. I know a lot of my treatment was absorbed between insurance, the drug companies, and the hospital.
No. Most plastics guys, do pro bono. Big tax write off and they do get tired of the vanity stuff. Surgeons like a challenge and they like to operate. A chance to cut is a chance to cure and the only way to heal is with cold hard steel. The guys that do pro bono really don’t advertise it either to the community.
Is that Chris Lilley in your avatar?
Looks like one guys from this season of Catfish.
*One of the guys from this season
Who me? No that is a picture of me :D. I love Chris Lilley if it is the one I’m thinking of. Jai’me is funny.
I am attracted to this show because nobody got a staph infection!
Be careful anyone who gets a hip replacement procedure…the infection rate is close to 40%.
I know! That seems to be the thing they are most concerned with in surgery. I couldn’t believe it when Janice pulled out her drains after her surgery. She took a huge risk.
Cat, I’m now 57. At 26, I went in to have painful lumps removed from my breasts. When I woke up, all my breast tissue had been removed and implants placed. I had fibro cystic disease very bad with the majority of the tissue being lumps. At that time, doctors assumed that they would eventually turn into cancer so without my knowledge they performed the procedure. Since then, I’ve had to have them replaced twice. When they replaced the first time, within 3 months the implant hardened and I had to have the 2nd surgery. It has only been maybe 4 years and it has happened again. At my age, I will not be doing it again. I’ll just live with it until I die.
I’ve had two total hip replacements in the last 10 months and did NOT hear that statistic. Then again, for once, I had an awesome doctor and awesome hospital.
Hand washing is all. If a heath care worker comes into your room, demand they wash your hands. Demand your own B/P cuff. Have them clean the stethoscope with an alcohol wipe. Gloves protect them not you. Make sure the remotes are cleaned. You can demand sterile gloves when they change your dressing.
@Five – The hospital I had my surgeries at was extremely cautious and aware of safety. Always washing their hands upon entering a room AND before exiting. They also try to get patients to stay only as long as absolutely necessary. Both times I was out two days after surgery, though I knew I could stay longer if I felt the need. I’m use to the military health care system which depending on location is good at best (or a nightmare at worst) so I appreciate the hospital (and it’s systems) that did my surgeries. I had the best ortho surgeon on the planet this time, compared to the worst 11yrs ago when I had my first hip surgery done in the military system.
I watch this shit. The chemistry between Dubrow and Nassif is hilarious!
I love that you can tell they are really friends. Not just coworkers making a paycheck on the show.
I like the show, except Nassif does look like a chimp. I like Dubrow better.
He has a good sense of humor too.
Karma Grant I DID hear that statistic from the surgeon at UCI who saved my life from raging staph because of the hip joint.
