Farrah Abraham appeared on Sunday nightâs episode of Botched to seek help for her severely swollen lips after a failed surgery.
In the clip above, the 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom star, whoâs undergone several plastic surgery procedures, first explains that being a public figure means her appearance is crucial to her career. âBecause of being on TV and social media, my job is to look my best for others,â she says.
Farrah, attention lover, then consults with Dr. Dubrow about her botched lip implant surgery. Before her previous doctor started the procedure, she says he injected her with a numbing medicine that caused a severe allergic reaction.
âHe kept injecting whatever he was injecting me with,â says Farrah, who famously posted the lip photos on social media as a cautionary tale.
During their consultation, Dubrow of course keeps it real with Farrah about what couldâve happened, telling her, âSwelling couldâve gone into your tongue, the back of your throat, cut off your airway and basically choked you to death.â Fun.
