Lifetime’s Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out hits its twelfth episode, Buffalo Hump Bump, on Monday, July 7, at 9 PM ET. This particular hour puts Dr. Sandra Lee, the world-renowned dermatological surgeon, to the test with two new cases that strike at her patients’ confidence.
First up is Dee, a singer with an angelic voice whose passion has dimmed due to a large neck hump. Then there’s Eli, an aspiring chef, who carries the burden of a noticeable bump on his cheek, causing him embarrassment. Dr. Lee, now working from an expanded clinic with added staff, looks to change their lives. She also has help from Dr. Zoe, who assists in the removal of several boba-shaped bumps from a patient named Showta.
This iteration of the Dr. Pimple Popper franchise brings a more intimate look at Dr. Lee’s life outside the office, using self-shot footage. The series maintains its core focus on how Dr. Lee helps patients with a wide array of dermatological issues, from cysts to tumors, all while underlining the emotional weight these conditions carry.
