What is the plot of Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out?
On her new Lifetime show, Dr. Lee will still be dispensing bursts, oozes, and pops. Fans will observe what they’ve come to love as she compassionately treats such skin issues as pimples (natch), lipomas, rashes, fatty tumors, and cysts, and likely the more technically named conditions such as psoriasis and keratosis pilaris.
According to the Lifetime announcement on Monday, March 10, “for the first time, Dr. Lee will be inviting several proteges, the next generation of dermatologists, into the operating room with her to pass on her unique knowledge and skill set." She noted, “I cannot wait to share with the Lifetime audience the transformations of some of my patients and their journey before, during and after their procedures. Additionally, I can’t wait for people to meet some of the new doctors who will be joining me as we help people throughout this season.”
Chances are Dr. Lee is always fully booked. But she took to TikTok in December to specifically look for patients who are willing to be on camera. She wrote in a caption, “If you have a derm condition you would like treated we are currently CASTING for the NEW SEASON of Dr Pimple Popper ! Please screen shot the end of the video to submit you or your loved one to casting! Hope to see you soon!”

Will we learn more about Dr. Lee’s private life on Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out?
Yes! Dr. Lee has been happily married for almost 25 years to fellow dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey C. Rebish. They have two sons together. While fans have seen Dr. Rebish from time to time in office scenes on the original TLC show, it’s likely that he will figure more into the new Lifetime series. As the press release has noted, “For the first time, Dr. Lee will also be providing intimate self-shoot footage of her life outside the office.” Fans will love to see more of her!
Who is Dr. Sandra Lee?
Dr. Sandra Lee, now 54, was born in Queens, New York to a Singaporean father and Malaysian mother. Her family moved to California when Lee was five and she followed in her dermatologist dad’s footsteps. She works at Skin Physicians & Surgeons in Upland, California. Dr. Lee first became a star on social media, as she posted videos of her “pops” on YouTube beginning in 2020. Her Instagram videos also were a big hit and led to the skin doctor landing her original TLC show.
Lifetime is pulling out all stops to promote its new show, raving that Dr. Lee is “the most famous dermatological surgeon in the world and an internationally beloved personality. She has dedicated her life to sharing her incredible skills with her huge audience, as she helps hundreds of suffering patients who are unable or unwilling to find treatment for their painful, oozing cysts, fatty tumors, and infinitely complex, life-affecting dermatological issues. Now, Dr. Lee is ready to take her practice to the next level.”
