The Botched<\/em> doctors are righting these medical wrongs.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday’s all-new episode<\/a>, doctors Terry Dubrow<\/a><\/strong> and Paul Nassif<\/a><\/strong> met with two new patients who each felt frustrated following messy plastic surgeries. First up, 46-year-old Ann-Marie<\/strong> learned she had breast cancer not long after relocating to South Carolina.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to combat the cancer, Ann-Marie’s doctors at the time performed a double mastectomy and the DIEP flap procedure for reconstructive purposes. However, after bruising and necrosis formed on her body, another doctor pondered if an intern actually performed the procedure.<\/p>\n

“Afterwards, he instructed me to stuff the holes with saline soaked gauze,” the Charleston resident revealed. “There were times that I would just tremble ’cause it smelled like death. It tore me apart, it really did.”<\/p>\n

Thus, she hoped Dr. Dubrow would be able to right some of the damage done to her body.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Although Ann-Marie’s husband John<\/strong> loved her as is, he hoped a revision surgery would help his wife smile again.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if you can get rid of all the scarring because there’s so much scarring,” Ann-Marie informed the doctors. “And there’s a part of me that kind of has accepted that, but I want to not look in the mirror and cringe.”<\/p>\n

Upon examining Ann-Marie’s situation, Dr. Dubrow ruled that the new patient needed a “very significant operation on the breast” and had to “completely redo the tummy tuck portion.” Despite the difficulties surrounding the case, Heather Dubrow<\/strong>‘s husband agreed to help Ann-Marie.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Even though “this was an extraordinarily difficult operation,” Dr. Dubrow left the operating room feeling “really, really happy” about his work.<\/p>\n

And he wasn’t the only one as Ann-Marie couldn’t contain her joy following her visit to the O.R.<\/p>\n

“Now, after surgery, I no longer look like a monster,” Ann-Marie gushed to the Botched<\/em> camera. “Those scars are gone. I am happy with what I see and I don’t mind if John catches a peek, either.”<\/p>\n

Ann-Marie wasn’t the only happy patient as psychic Danielle<\/strong> also had a successful encounter with the Botched<\/em> doctors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

According to the clairvoyant, she decided to remove her implants after two botched surgeries resulted in capsulized breasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Having breast implants that are literally almost into your armpits and completely being squeezed by capsulized scar tissue is the most uncomfortable experience,” the medium mom explained in a confessional.<\/p>\n

Following the presentation of Danielle’s case, the doctors seemed eager to help her get back to her natural breasts.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes it’s better to take breast implants out, especially in cases like Danielle, who’s had a lot of complications up to this point!” Dr. Nassif expressed later on. “Breast implants are not for everyone.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In the exam room, Dr. Dubrow witnessed how “distorted” Danielle’s breasts were and offered up a game plan for a revision. Specifically, Dubrow pitched an internal breast lift (which is actually “very tricky.”)<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, after removing the silicone implants, Dubrow was able to give the natural look the new patient hoped for. In fact, a post-surgery Danielle boasted that she was “a brand new me.”<\/p>\n
