Why did 'Botched' doctors turn down Asa?
The doctors on 'Botched' Season 8 had the most critical consultation of their careers when 24-year-old Asa expressed her desire to continue her cosmetic surgery journey to appear like a Calabasas MILF despite having a significant cardiac problem.
Soon after learning about Asa's history with cosmetic surgery, Dr Dubrow and Nassif were forced to turn down her request to get a diamond-shaped belly button. Dr Dubrow went on to warn the 24-going-on-45 patient, yelling, "This is no joke!" during Asa's consultation.
Season 8 E! series 'Botched' continues with new episodes every Thursday at 10 pm ET on the network.
