BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'Botched' Season 8, Episode 17 is scheduled to debut at 10 pm on Thursday, February 29. Audiences can anticipate an emotional journey as the episode delves into the realm of cosmetic procedures that have not gone as planned. 

E!'s much-adored reality series returns for its eighth season (or ninth if you add the 2016 spin-off, 'Botched By Nature'). In over a decade of reality television, plastic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif have soothed desperate individuals, given excellent medical advice, and done difficult procedures, altering people's lives in the process.

The 'Botched' doctors follow former cosmetic surgery patients whose surgeries were bungled by their doctors with the goal of setting things right.

Each episode follows a patient through the process of correcting problems caused by complex procedures. The cameras are also on during the rehabilitation phase.

What happened in 'Botched' Season 8 Episode 16?

In the last episode of 'Botched', a young social media influencer took a risky step by getting B12 injections at a medical spa. Shockingly, this decision turned into a nightmare, leaving her body covered in hundreds of scars. The B12 injections took a dangerous turn, nearly leading to a life-threatening situation.

Simultaneously, we witnessed a woman born with a cleft lip and palate facing a unique challenge — an indented nose developing over time. Dr. Nassif took on a daunting surgery, navigating the complexities of the procedure with the patient awake throughout.

Adding to the intrigue, Baby Ken, known for his bicep implants designed by Justin Jedlica, decided it was time to say goodbye to the enhancements. He shared a profound realization: "Mentors can lead you down destructive paths." In a plea for help, Baby Ken turns to the 'Botched' doctors to get them fixed.
