In this jaw-dropping (sometimes literally) episode, we peel back the skin on the dark world of botched plastic surgery, killer cosmetic surgeons, and veneer technicians who should probably be in jail. From shady hotel-room buttock injections to self-taught “doctors” with diplomas from Google University, we’re diving deep into the stories that put the die in DIY beauty.
We’ll expose the underground world of unlicensed medical procedures, discuss real-life horror stories of patients who paid the ultimate price for a discount nip and tuck, and ask the question: how many red flags does it take to walk away from a "clinic" in the back of a nail salon?
Whether you're obsessed with true crime, medical malpractice, or just need a reason to cancel that sketchy Groupon for fillers—this episode has it all. Think Dr. Death meets Botched, with a dash of bleach and black humor.
