Ep 4. Making of a Belieber

In Botched season 1 episode 4, titled "Making of a Belieber," viewers are introduced to a patient who has undergone several surgeries in an attempt to look like their idol, Justin Bieber. The patient, who has spent approximately $100,000 on numerous procedures, including chin and cheek implants, as well as liposuction, is unhappy with the results and hopes that the Botched doctors can help fix the botched surgeries.

Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow, the two renowned plastic surgeons, are determined to help the patient restore a natural look and improve their self-confidence. During the consultation, the doctors learn that the patient's obsession with Bieber extends beyond their appearance. The patient's enthusiasm for their idol has reached a point where it is negatively impacting their personal life, leading them to seek therapy to address their obsessive behavior.

As the doctors review the patient's past surgical procedures, they discover significant and alarming issues with the implants that were previously inserted. The silicone implants used to create a six-pack are so badly infected that they need to be removed, leading the patient to be at risk of a potentially fatal infection.

After the removal of the infected implants, the doctors have to reconstruct the patient's chest to make it appear more natural. To achieve the desired results, the doctors perform fat transfer to give the patient the appearance of a six-pack. They also perform a cheek implant revision to improve the overall look of the face.

The process of correcting the botched surgeries is not an easy one, and the patient must undergo several surgeries, undergo tests and recover over several weeks. The doctors' goal is to help the patient achieve a natural, healthy appearance without risking their life in the process.

As the episode progresses, viewers witness the challenges the patient faces, such as their obsession with Bieber or the emotional consequences of undergoing multiple surgeries to look like someone else. The patient's life seems to be a cautionary tale for those who struggle with body dysmorphia, obsessive behavior, or a lack of self-confidence.

In the end, the patient is pleased with the outcome. They feel more confident, and they no longer feel the need to alter their appearance drastically to look like their idol. They can now embrace their own unique appearance and live life to the fullest.

In this episode, Botched highlights the importance of plastic surgery safety, mental wellbeing, and self-acceptance. The show illustrates how important it is to choose reliable, experienced plastic surgeons and to be aware of possible risks involved in any surgical procedure. With a combination of compassion, talent, and expertise, the doctors on Botched aim to help individuals correct previous surgery failures and help them feel like themselves again.
