Esmeralda was 18 when she decided to undergo breast reduction surgery after suffering from back pain due to her big breast size. It had been a tough decision for her but she knew had to do it. Unfortunately, one thing she did not expect coming was botched surgery. 

While the doctor managed to reduce the breast size, a couple of days after the surgery took place, Esmeralda revealed she started feeling some smell come out of her shirt and that is when fear struck her. She started noticing that her skin tissue was dying and that had been the reason for the smell. 

She revealed the doctor asked her to use vaseline and that did not do her any good. She further revealed she was using dry grass to coverup the breast but when she would try to remove them it would get stuck and put her in a painful state. Calling her breasts the 'breasts of Frankenstein', Esmeralda revealed she is not confident with how they look. 

She admitted she was left with no nipples and her right was bigger than her left breast that made her wear pads for her bra to make them look equal size. Esmeralda revealed she also had one hole in each breast due to the surgery. She confessed she never thought that the situation would become so bad. 

When Dr Paul Nassif and Dr Terry Dubrow first lay their eyes on the pictures of her breast they were shocked as they never expected it to be so bad. Dr Dubrow admitted that it had been the worst case of breast reduction. He told Esmeralda that he was disgusted with it and felt like puking while adding that he wanted her to feel pretty.

Dr Dubrow took the challenge of turning her life around. He gave her two options, one was to have the implants and the other one was to remove the dead tissue and use the remaining skin tissue to give a good structure to the breast.

Esmeralda knew she wanted her breasts to be a little bigger and not a flat chest because she wanted to feel confident. Dr Dubrow understood what she was going through and promised her a surgery that would make her leave smiling. Fortunately, the surgery went well. 

When Esmeralda came for the checkup, Dr Dubrow revealed he had used some of the skin tissue to create a structure that resembled a nipple. Esmeralda broke down in tears as she admitted she did not expect the surgery to do much but was pleased to see the results. 

'Botched' airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on E!
