'Botched' Season 8: Kim Kardashian impersonator Ashley Sky seeks help after baby oil surgery side effects
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Introducing Ashley Sky, the Catwoman who spent more than $1M on her transformation!
After Ashley had herself checked out by 'Botched' doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif in Season 8 Episode 4, she got more than just advice.
Ashley now has a slimmer shape and, in her opinion, a more attractive appearance, with luscious lips, a pointed chin, and long eyelashes.
However, her life was not simple. She thought she was born in the wrong body and began taking hormones at the age of 12.
Ashley's idol was Catwoman, whom she aspired to be. She had sex reassignment surgery at the age of 19 and began modifying her looks to resemble Catwoman.

It is unknown if Ashley had any additional transformations after her 'Botched' appearance and truly followed Dr Dubrow and Dr Nassif's instructions.
As of August, she is the face and owner of Mannequia, a retail business that sells breastplates, wearable body art sculptures and other accessories.
Who is Ashley Sky on 'Botched' Season 8?
Ashley is the image of elegance, with her hourglass proportions and pillow lips, but her life has not been easy.
Ashley, who was born male, knew from a young age that she was in the wrong body. At the age of 12, she began taking hormones.
Ashley, the former CEO of her own fashion label, Mushy Cutesy, finds peace in her idol, Catwoman, whom she admires for being a "strong, fearless female."
She had gender transition surgery at 19 and has since spent more than $1M on her Catwoman appearance.
She's had two jaw procedures, two chin operations, four nose jobs, rib removal, three facelifts, and six breast augmentations.
Furthermore, she enjoys the attention her appearance garners, seeing it as a stark contrast to the years she spent feeling out of place.
She hopes that by sharing her experience, she might give other transgender or non-binary people hope and inspire them to be their genuine, honest selves.
Ashley described herself as a well-known million-dollar celebrity impersonator in New York City during her 'Botched' appearance.
She attends parties, mingles, and takes photographs, and to top it all off, she impersonates Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
Ashley felt great about herself after over 70 operations, except for her breasts. She felt different types of textures on her breasts.
Her skin is bumpy, with lumps and scar tissue. She was hoping that Dr Dubrow and Dr Nassif might assist her in getting the lumps removed.
What happened to Ashley Sky on 'Botched' Season 8?
Ashley approached 'Botched' doctors with a new objective for her breasts. She underwent her first operation, which involved baby oil, over 15–16 years ago.
Injecting foreign chemicals, such as paraffin oil, with the goal of enhancing body contours, has been employed since the early 20th century.
After the harmful effects of the procedure were discovered, the method became outdated in Western medicine. Oil injections are still carried out, either by self-injection or by unauthorized people.
The side effects of the procedure include skin inflammation, induration, sterile abscesses, fistulas and skin rupture with suppuration of greasy substances.
Dr Dubrow was taken aback when he learned about the baby oil technique that helped Ashley obtain a B-cup. Then she started having issues, including a high fever. She then had oil removal surgery and implants.
Ashley noticed that her breasts began to behave quite differently after the implants. She now desires large, voluptuous breasts from 'Botched' doctors.
Each of her six breast operations included the removal of oil. The sooner she can get the operations, the better she will feel. She now believes there are massive cysts in the region.
Dr Nassif thought they were granulomas. A granuloma is a small collection of white blood cells and other tissue. It can form itself in the lungs, skin, or other organs.
Granulomas do not cause cancer. They develop as a result of infection, inflammation, irritants, or foreign substances.
Dr Nassif and Dr Dubrows noticed too many granulomas on both breasts during her evaluation. They also found that the pigmentation was darker.
Dr Dubrow informed Ashley that having operated on would be difficult due to the presence of foreign body oil in her system.
On the plus side, Ashley has undergone many procedures to remove as much baby oil as possible from her system, and she appears to have a strong immune system.
Dr Dubrow did not believe there were any more surgical options for Ashley's condition other than the ones she had already tried.
He felt that any more operations may trigger another inflammatory response in order to end the existing one. Ashley was advised by both physicians to simply leave it alone.
How much does 'Botched' Dr Terry Dubrow charge for consultation?
Due to his experience and reputation in the field, Dr Dubrow's consultation costs are often greater than those of a conventional cosmetic surgeon.
A basic consultation with Dr Dubrow for a breast augmentation or tummy tuck, for example, can range from $250 to $500, while more extensive consultations for reconstructive surgery can cost upwards of $1,000.
It is crucial to remember that these prices only cover the first consultation and do not cover the cost of the procedure itself.
How much does 'Botched' Dr Paul Nassif charge for consultation?
Dr Nassif's nose job costs $15,000, which covers surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees. This pricing is on the upper end of the nose job scale, but it is well worth it for the amazing results that Dr Nassif can create.
'Botched' stars Dr Nassif and Dr Dubrow indicated that the sort of surgery performed on 'Botched' might cost up to $100,000.
Consultations are offered in person or by phone for $365.
'Botched' Season 8 airs new episodes every Thursday on E! Entertainment at 10 pm ET
