Kim DePaola can't say enough good things about how Dr. Terry Dubrow fixed her life — and her previously, um, botched boob job, as fans will get to see on Botched this week. And, it truly was a bit of a meeting of the Bravolebs when The Real Housewives of New Jersey pal came face to face with former Househusbands Terry and Dr. Paul Nassif.

How to Watch

"Well, I knew a little bit about her and I knew that she just had that really terrible thing happen to her. That's not necessarily a good place to be in when you're gonna have difficult, revisional, high-risk plastic surgery," Terry told The Daily Dish, referring to a tragic incident involving her car that left two people dead last year. "So, I was really concerned."

But, Terry saw a different side of the Garden State boutique owner. "You know what's funny? I know her what her reputation was on Housewives being very argumentative [but] when they need help, and they have high-risk plastic surgery — she was so normal, so cool, and just wanted to be fixed. She was funny. I liked her. She actually turned out to be a patient I really liked [and] was a lot of fun to work with."

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, Terry noted: "Very difficult problem. We had a bit of a complication that was hard to deal with, but she was very cool."
