What started as a small decision to get a tummy tuck became a big problem for one woman.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip of this week’s episode ofBotched,Takeema Scott tells Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow about how she ended up getting more work done than planned.
“About three years agoI wanted a tummy tuck,” says Scott, 41, adding that a friend of a friend told her about a “great plastic surgeon” in Mexico.
“We go down to Mexico, he does the consult and he said, ‘You’ll kinda get more bang for your buck if you went all the way around,’ " she says, referring to a circumferential body lift.
“But you didn’t go in there complaining about the back side at all? Just the front. So this gentleman decided to sort of have you consider adding things on, a while-you’re-there situation,” says Dubrow. “So they did sort of a thigh lift, tummy tuck, buttock lift, back lift, everything at once.”
Scott adds that while she “really did love her stomach,” the Brazilian butt lift “did not look the the way I thought it was gonna look.”
“The skin became flaccid and [I had] a kind of a dent on the lower buttock that I didn’t have before,” she says.

In a confessional, Dubrow points out that this is a prime example of why “if you’re doing a tummy tuck you don’t want to do a buttock procedure.”
“You’ve got to lie flat on your buttock while you’re recovering from the tummy tuck, or you lie on your stomach to allow your buttock to heal. Either way, one of them is being disrupted and that may be exactly what happened in Takeema’s case,” he explains.
