Speaker 1: This is Teddy Teapot with cabinet. Hey guys, it's Teddy
Speaker 1: here with Teddy Teapot. This week I decided to talk
Speaker 1: about all things plastic surgery. I'm gonna have Whitney Boohad,
Speaker 1: Jane Kramer, and Dr Kelly Colleen all on to share
Speaker 1: their different experiences. I realized last week when I posted
Speaker 1: something about botox, people had a real visceral reaction. Either
Speaker 1: people were so grateful that I was opening up about
Speaker 1: things that I have done or that I do, or
Speaker 1: people were thinking it was terrible and the worst thing
Speaker 1: ever that I would promote that on my social media
Speaker 1: because people should love themselves as they are. And truly,
Speaker 1: my feeling is it's much more challenging to watch somebody
Speaker 1: that may you know, have a platform in any aspect
Speaker 1: pretending like they have never done anything, so that the
Speaker 1: people that you know wat to their stories or get
Speaker 1: to know them start to believe that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: all natural all the time. And I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: you each person has a choice what they want to share,
Speaker 1: but in regards to me, I have to be authentic,
Speaker 1: and you know, I figured we should do a podcast,
Speaker 1: The Good, the Bad, and the ugly of all of
Speaker 1: these you know, decisions that we end up making. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think Shannon Doherty posted something last week,
Speaker 1: you know, talking about how hard it was to um,
Speaker 1: you know, look at people on social media and compare
Speaker 1: herself to people that have had face lifts or get
Speaker 1: bo talks, and you know how it's just not an
Speaker 1: even playing field. So I mean it really, you know,
Speaker 1: open my eyes to so many discussions we can have.
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to answer all of your listener
Speaker 1: questions today and really dig into this. So in a second,
Speaker 1: we'll be bringing on Whitney buhah. And I'm sure sometimes
Speaker 1: if you're aimlessly rolling reels, you know who Whitney Boohua
Speaker 1: is because she makes these hilarious videos because she got
Speaker 1: botox and it gave her a droopy eyelid, and she's
Speaker 1: decided to you know, kind of make you laugh while
Speaker 1: she's talking about it, but also educate us on some
Speaker 1: of the dangers that botox can lead to. Hi, Hi,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us this week. Yeah, of course, thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. Well, we appreciate you sharing, and um,
Speaker 1: just to kind of get us started, do you mind
Speaker 1: just telling everyone what actually happened. Yeah, of course, like
Speaker 1: your story. Sure, So I guess I'll start from the beginning.
Speaker 1: I've been getting botox for about three years and typically
Speaker 1: always went in I really five to six months, so
Speaker 1: I'd say twice a year and kind of focus on
Speaker 1: my forehead, like my eleven lines and then just the
Speaker 1: lines on my forehead. Um. So I went in for
Speaker 1: my normal appointment and asked for those same things, and
Speaker 1: then her about like two or three days, I noticed
Speaker 1: that my left eyebrow was a lot lower than my
Speaker 1: right one. So I texted my injector and she told
Speaker 1: me to come back just a couple of days later,
Speaker 1: and she told me she would add four units just
Speaker 1: below my eyebrow on my left eye. And I honestly
Speaker 1: didn't know, you know, where you're supposed to inject versus
Speaker 1: where you're not supposed to inject. So I went back in,
Speaker 1: she added the units, and then about five days after
Speaker 1: that is when I started to see that my left
Speaker 1: eye was drooping like crazy. Um, it basically just was
Speaker 1: closing more and more. So it took about five days
Speaker 1: to kick in, and then from there for the next
Speaker 1: like a week and a half, I got progressively worse. UM,
Speaker 1: So it just started closing. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw pictures, but just the difference in my eyes
Speaker 1: was crazy. And then my right I started overcompensating, UM,
Speaker 1: trying to open bigger because the left eye was so
Speaker 1: far closed. So I had this huge right eye and
Speaker 1: then this really tiny left eye. UM. And then from there,
Speaker 1: I mean, I texted my injector again, and I spoke
Speaker 1: with the plastic surgeon who's the head of the med SPA,
Speaker 1: and he referred me to someone else who kind of
Speaker 1: specializes in these types of things if something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: and I met with her about two weeks later, and
Speaker 1: they told me. What she told me, this expert i'd
Speaker 1: call her, is that UM, an injector should never touch
Speaker 1: you until at least two weeks after your initial injections,
Speaker 1: because the botox can take two weeks to settle. So
Speaker 1: which I went, yeah, just like a week later. So
Speaker 1: the botox hadn't fully settled at that point, and I
Speaker 1: had more added which could have caused could have maybe
Speaker 1: added to the problem. UM. But when I met with
Speaker 1: this other injector, she suggested adding two units of botox
Speaker 1: to my lash line, so like one at the front
Speaker 1: and one at the back, which freaked me out, but
Speaker 1: she said it was probably the biggest thing that would
Speaker 1: help me, so I decided to go ahead and do it.
Speaker 1: And then about two weeks after that, I think it
Speaker 1: had started to settle in and my left I started
Speaker 1: opening back up. And why while you were struggling with
Speaker 1: keeping your eye open, were you struggling with vision at all?
Speaker 1: You know, my vision was fine. It was more just
Speaker 1: the feeling like it felt super heavy throughout the day.
Speaker 1: There would be times I would be sitting at my
Speaker 1: computer and just kind of hold my lid up like
Speaker 1: this because I'd be working all day, and then it
Speaker 1: just felt very tired and very heavy. And not that
Speaker 1: it affected my vision, It just had this strange feeling
Speaker 1: of like a strain or that it was I just
Speaker 1: needed to blink a lot or close my eyes for
Speaker 1: a little while. Yeah, And then were you warned about
Speaker 1: this ever happening when getting bowtops? I know I've been
Speaker 1: told when I when I get botox' is like, oh,
Speaker 1: if we put too much here, you know, it can
Speaker 1: lift your eyebrows too much and you look surprised, or
Speaker 1: if you put too much here, your brows will start to,
Speaker 1: you know, go down. But nobody has really ever talked
Speaker 1: to me and said what happened to you could actually
Speaker 1: happen to any of us. Yeah, same, I had known
Speaker 1: similar things to what you said, or you know, the
Speaker 1: frozen look i'd call it, where they inject too much
Speaker 1: in your face doesn't move. Obviously no one wants that.
Speaker 1: But those were really the only risks or side effects
Speaker 1: that I knew. I didn't realize that this eyelid drooping
Speaker 1: could happen. Um. And I feel like I connected with
Speaker 1: so many women after this that also had no idea
Speaker 1: that this could be a side effect. And how long
Speaker 1: until you were fully recovered. So it's been a little
Speaker 1: bit over three months now, and in my opinion, I'm
Speaker 1: still not a hundred percent And it's probably hard for
Speaker 1: you to see looking at me or you know, i'd
Speaker 1: say that, if anything, this eyebrow is still a little
Speaker 1: bit lower than the right eyebrow. Um. But when I
Speaker 1: take a picture, it's funny because in video you can't
Speaker 1: really tell her face to face, you can't really tell,
Speaker 1: but if you take a photo you can see it
Speaker 1: a lot more. Um, And there's still a little bit
Speaker 1: of unevenness in my eyes and it's definitely way better
Speaker 1: than it was, but to me, it's still not a pent.
Speaker 1: And what did it do like to your m you're
Speaker 1: like mental state, like that first time you looked in
Speaker 1: the mirror and you started noticing that that was happening,
Speaker 1: And how did you kind of reconcile it? M hm, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the initial when I first saw it, I
Speaker 1: was just really freaked out. I had no idea what
Speaker 1: was going on, and immediately I thought that this would
Speaker 1: be permanent damage because I've never seen my face look
Speaker 1: like this before, so it was just really shocking. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think the good thing was that I'm working
Speaker 1: from home. You know, we're still at that point, we
Speaker 1: were still kind of in lockdown and quarantine, so I
Speaker 1: wasn't going many places. But when I did have to
Speaker 1: go somewhere, it was super uncomfortable. I was very very
Speaker 1: self conscious. I wanted to keep my sunglasses on. I
Speaker 1: was parting my hair and like swooping my my like
Speaker 1: all the way in front of my left eyes. You
Speaker 1: couldn't even see it, so it was it was really hard.
Speaker 1: You know, you just don't feel very confident, you don't
Speaker 1: feel like you look like yourself and going out in
Speaker 1: public was very uncomfortable. So then how did you make
Speaker 1: like which I think your video are great, Like I like,
Speaker 1: they make me laugh, they're educational, it's all the things.
Speaker 1: So how did you get to the point where you
Speaker 1: were able to do that? Yeah? I mean it. I
Speaker 1: don't even know for sure. I think what started it
Speaker 1: was that, Um, I believe it was a Sunday night
Speaker 1: when it started to get really bad, and I had
Speaker 1: posted a video with my hair covering my eye, and
Speaker 1: I mentioned in the video that I had gotten bad
Speaker 1: botox and that's why I was covering my eye like that.
Speaker 1: And I received so many responses from followers and from
Speaker 1: people asking what do you mean you got bad botox?
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could get bad botox? What does
Speaker 1: that mean? Just so many questions and so much interest.
Speaker 1: So I sat with it for a few hours and
Speaker 1: thought about it and decided that I also didn't know
Speaker 1: how long I was going to look like that, so
Speaker 1: I couldn't hide my face forever. But basically decided that
Speaker 1: I might as well share this with everyone who has
Speaker 1: questions and has no idea that this could happen, because
Speaker 1: I didn't know this could happen prior either. Um, so
Speaker 1: I remember sitting down in my kitchen and just propping
Speaker 1: my phone up and had my hair is still covering
Speaker 1: my face. Started the video and was like, Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go, I'm going to show you it, moved it
Speaker 1: over and I just started talking about what had happened,
Speaker 1: and from there there was just such a huge response
Speaker 1: from people. Obviously, there are the people who are the
Speaker 1: trolls and are going to hate on you for getting
Speaker 1: botox in the first place, but the large majority was
Speaker 1: people who were very supportive and just had questions and
Speaker 1: wanted to understand more about how this can happen and
Speaker 1: how they can prevent it for themselves in the future.
Speaker 1: And then have you gotten botox since? And would you
Speaker 1: ever do it again? I have not gotten it since,
Speaker 1: But I can't say I'll never do it again, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean when I've had it in the past and
Speaker 1: it's good, it's great. You know, it makes your skin
Speaker 1: look better, it makes you feel better, and this obviously
Speaker 1: was a very unfortunate situation, but I can't say that
Speaker 1: I'd swear it off forever. And the person who did
Speaker 1: it this time was she the person that had done
Speaker 1: it prior as well. Yes, I've been going to her
Speaker 1: for over a year. And did she ever cop to
Speaker 1: like making a mistake? Was there something that she hit?
Speaker 1: Did she do it in the wrong location? Like what
Speaker 1: is kind of the signs if you're getting botox to
Speaker 1: maybe go this is a red flag? Yeah, so she
Speaker 1: I didn't hear much from her after um, but the
Speaker 1: other woman that I met with, who was more like
Speaker 1: the expert on fixing these types of things, really told
Speaker 1: me a lot of useful information and what she said.
Speaker 1: And obviously she didn't do the initial injections, so she
Speaker 1: doesn't know a hundred percent. But she received my chart
Speaker 1: from the medspot looked at all the markings where she injected,
Speaker 1: and from her analysis of that, she said that basically,
Speaker 1: there's two muscles right below your eyebrow, and if you
Speaker 1: hit one, that's going to cause your eyelid to droop,
Speaker 1: and they're right next to each other, so actually injecting
Speaker 1: under your eyebrows very dangerous. And most injectors don't go
Speaker 1: below the brow, they stay above the brow. So she
Speaker 1: said she would never inject below the brow. She would
Speaker 1: day away from that area because these muscles are so
Speaker 1: close together. That if you hit that one that's the
Speaker 1: wrong one, your eyelid will droop. So what she believes
Speaker 1: is that it was injected into the wrong area and
Speaker 1: that's what caused the eyelid potosis. And the first time
Speaker 1: that she did it, she went under your eyebrow. The
Speaker 1: so she went under the second appointment when my eyebrows
Speaker 1: were uneven. Okay, so your eyelid wasn't drooping at the
Speaker 1: first one. You were just noticing a difference in your eyebrow. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the part that I missed. Okay, so that makes sense.
Speaker 1: So here pretty much the p s A is if
Speaker 1: you're getting botox and they go underneath your eyebrow, tell
Speaker 1: them to stop exactly, like do not inject their Wow.
Speaker 1: So you know, did you find that hearing from so
Speaker 1: many people and helping other people kind of go through
Speaker 1: the same thing helped your experience, like at least knowing like, Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm helping others, and you know, because I know when
Speaker 1: I'm when I'm struggling with something or when something happens.
Speaker 1: As long as I kind of like put put my
Speaker 1: best foot forward and like have those open, vulnerable conversation,
Speaker 1: it like makes the time go by faster and you
Speaker 1: feel like there's a purpose for it all. And definitely
Speaker 1: it was I think just talking to other people about it,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people could relate, maybe not necessarily
Speaker 1: to the eyelid drooping, but to other things. You know,
Speaker 1: people have had problems with getting their lips injected or
Speaker 1: areas around their mouth where the botox really relaxes that
Speaker 1: muscle and they can't smile. So maybe not the exact
Speaker 1: situation that I was in, but something similar where we
Speaker 1: could at least talk about it and commiserate and you
Speaker 1: felt like you weren't alone with it. So that really
Speaker 1: helped me to kind of get through it. Was talking
Speaker 1: with other people was the support I received that. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of people even though they get botox too,
Speaker 1: they were very supportive and they weren't you know, there
Speaker 1: were the people that weren't supportive, but I think that
Speaker 1: so many women do get botox and they now understand
Speaker 1: that this is a risk and they were appreciative of
Speaker 1: me sharing about it. Yeah, because I think if you
Speaker 1: going to do something, if you know the risk and
Speaker 1: it's still that important to you and you want to
Speaker 1: do it, and it's gonna make you feel better and
Speaker 1: it's something that you're confident in that decision, that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But if you're going in and you really don't know,
Speaker 1: and it's in the fine print of the sixty paper
Speaker 1: so that you sign before getting botox, then it can
Speaker 1: for sure happen. Um, So how do people find you?
Speaker 1: Because I I know that after hearing this, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have so many more questions from you, and you know,
Speaker 1: I want them to be able to see the videos.
Speaker 1: I want, you know, everybody to have that support if
Speaker 1: they are going through it as well. Yeah, definitely. So
Speaker 1: you can find me on Instagram. It's at something Witty

Speaker 1: this week? I'm in California. Yea, I have some work
Speaker 1: stuff I have to do, so um yeah, I I
Speaker 1: forgot how much I love California. It's just the weather
Speaker 1: is so nice. Although it's very hot today. It's so
Speaker 1: I'm in the valley and it is like over a
Speaker 1: hundred degrees already. Yeah, the same. I'm like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: my Nashville. This humidity is like it's like you can
Speaker 1: just feel it, like it feels like Nashville. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, I got a little pizza home with me here.
Speaker 1: Ye how are you? I'm good? I yeah, I'm doing
Speaker 1: as good as can be inspected that you know. Happy
Speaker 1: life is opening up over here now, like we can
Speaker 1: go out do things without masks. Like feeling good, feeling good.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into chits. Let's please, let's please
Speaker 1: talk about it, Okay, So Jana, like myself, I had
Speaker 1: my boobs done after I had my son Cruise, and
Speaker 1: it's something I had thought about for a long time.
Speaker 1: But I also was in like a really tough place
Speaker 1: in my life, like in a really low place when
Speaker 1: I decided to get them done. And I remember being
Speaker 1: the you know, the recovery being hard, but I also
Speaker 1: now know years later, like how much I love them. Yes,
Speaker 1: and so going into how you know, how are you feeling?
Speaker 1: What made you finally like make the plunge for sure?
Speaker 1: So I like a few years ago, Um, I wanted
Speaker 1: to get them, but I think I didn't want to
Speaker 1: get them for myself, Like it was one of those
Speaker 1: things where I kind of think, or I know that
Speaker 1: I was more self conscious of my body and you
Speaker 1: know just how your boobs changed when you have kids. Um,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I was just super
Speaker 1: self conscious about and you know, I wanted to feel sexier.
Speaker 1: But again I think I was doing it. If I
Speaker 1: would have done it, then I would have probably gotten
Speaker 1: bigger than I wanted to, Like it wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: like for what I wanted. So I'm first of all,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I waited because I waited when
Speaker 1: it was the right time for me, and it just
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: like and it's so hard because like in this day
Speaker 1: and age, like you know, we want to be proud
Speaker 1: of our bodies, and I think you can be both.
Speaker 1: I think you can be proud of your body, but
Speaker 1: I think you can also want to change things as well,
Speaker 1: and I think there's no shame in that. And I
Speaker 1: think you can love your body regardless. And for me,
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I don't like the
Speaker 1: way that this looks. I don't it didn't go back
Speaker 1: to normal like my like this is like tm I
Speaker 1: but like my Ariel was, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they stretched so much when I was pregnant. They didn't
Speaker 1: go back out. So it was just like I just
Speaker 1: have like this big old like and I'm like and
Speaker 1: then like you know, saggy boobs. I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, like I what do what does Janna want?
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I want a small but
Speaker 1: yet you know, full size, and I want reconstruction of
Speaker 1: the nipple and like it was and now like I'm
Speaker 1: like constantly like people like and I never understood it,
Speaker 1: like when people got boobs, like you want to see
Speaker 1: my boobs, and I was like, sure, but now you
Speaker 1: want to see my boobs like I go around, you
Speaker 1: want to see my boots because I just I love them,
Speaker 1: like I'm and I and I'm so happy that I
Speaker 1: made the decisions for myself. And then I didn't listen
Speaker 1: to other people being like, oh, you should love your
Speaker 1: body the way you should. Yes, I one thousand percent
Speaker 1: agree with you, But I also think it's okay to
Speaker 1: change and do things that can make you a little
Speaker 1: more confident or make you feel better in your own skin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think you know, while I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 1: how you ended up picking your surgeon and whatnot, But
Speaker 1: like when I picked mine, I remember loving her because
Speaker 1: I was like asking me, I'm like, listen, I'm athletic.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have like big old knockers like
Speaker 1: I just want them. I want to be able to
Speaker 1: not have to wear bra And she was like like,
Speaker 1: I want to be able to wear like a cute
Speaker 1: tank top and just be all right. And she's like
Speaker 1: looked at me and she's like, all right, you know
Speaker 1: this is the CCS. We think she goes, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna need to cut, like I'm gonna need to do
Speaker 1: nipple reconstruction on you. I never even knew that was
Speaker 1: a thing. And I was like, what do you mean
Speaker 1: And she's like, well, I mean you want me to
Speaker 1: be blunt. I'm like yes. She's like they're like pencil erasers.
Speaker 1: They're so long. And I was like what, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My my doctor was like with my like varial as
Speaker 1: or whatever. He was like, it looks like you've got
Speaker 1: like two large salamis. And I was like okay, Like okay,
Speaker 1: we didn't have to be like me, but you're like okay,
Speaker 1: And then I was. But now it's like so I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, so many other things changed other than
Speaker 1: just the fact that like, yeah, I don't have to
Speaker 1: wear a bra, but also I like don't have constant,
Speaker 1: like hard nipples that I'm like having to wear padded
Speaker 1: bras and do all of these things. So like, for me,
Speaker 1: it had multiple benefits. But how did you pick your surgeon?
Speaker 1: So I had met with a few surgeons um in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles before I had moved to Nashville, and I
Speaker 1: kept saying that the doctors like no, like I want
Speaker 1: I want them to be small, and they're like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: like you're gonna want to go bigger, you should get
Speaker 1: at least three three ccs and like no, like I
Speaker 1: don't like how that looks. And because they did like
Speaker 1: the three D thing, I was like, I would prefer
Speaker 1: that the smaller ones. But I felt like he kept
Speaker 1: like wanting to push me. He's like every girl who's
Speaker 1: out of surgery and says they wish they were bigger.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, well I'm not that person, like
Speaker 1: I want them again like you like I'm like I
Speaker 1: like to run. I like I'm very athletic, like I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to be, you know, like dealing
Speaker 1: with jugs as well. So, um, when I met with
Speaker 1: my doctor Unger Nashville, he was just like he got me.
Speaker 1: He's like, you want cute, perky, you know, like just
Speaker 1: nice rounded fits your body so much so that I
Speaker 1: trusted him that on day of surgery, I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you want to go bigger, like I trust you.
Speaker 1: If you think it fits my body, I trust you.
Speaker 1: And so he tried like he put in like these
Speaker 1: um like different size implants and He's like, it just
Speaker 1: didn't look good on your body. So I ended up
Speaker 1: he ended up taking some fat out of my right
Speaker 1: boob because my right boob was always gonna be bigger.
Speaker 1: But he put to sixty in my right boob and
Speaker 1: two eighty in my left, and I just again, I
Speaker 1: totally trusted him, and he just made me feel really comfortable.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know a lot of I got so
Speaker 1: many comments about like b I I, and you know,
Speaker 1: why would I do this? And I'm putting, you know,
Speaker 1: toxic stuff into my body. But he just calmed my
Speaker 1: nerves about all of it. And I will be honest
Speaker 1: with you. When I looked at the b I I stuff,
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't even have boots and I
Speaker 1: have all the symptoms. So I've had to mute some
Speaker 1: people because they know about it so much that I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I do you know what? I am tired? You know
Speaker 1: what I do anxiety? I am very tired, and I
Speaker 1: have confusion sometimes, and I'm not I'm not knocking people
Speaker 1: that have it, and I have I have empathy for
Speaker 1: people that do go through it, but I don't think
Speaker 1: that's everyone's experience, and I don't think they should push
Speaker 1: that on everyone that it's going to happen to us, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to to every to each his own, and you have
Speaker 1: to do what kind of like makes you feel the best.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't know about like that
Speaker 1: fat fat transfer part. Like I remember, I end up
Speaker 1: getting like two tensecs. They also told us like do
Speaker 1: you want it to be under the muscle? Do you
Speaker 1: want it to be like I forget the shapes, but
Speaker 1: they ask you like different shapes, like do you want
Speaker 1: it to be rounded at the top or do you
Speaker 1: want it more job. I wanted more of like I
Speaker 1: didn't want a big right here. I just wanted it
Speaker 1: like a low profile yeah, low profile. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: did that. But then they're like, okay, so we found
Speaker 1: a spot that will take the fat from if we
Speaker 1: need to like give you more volume. And I remember
Speaker 1: the first they said they were gonna take it like
Speaker 1: in between my thighs or something like that. And I
Speaker 1: remember the first thing I woke up from anesthesia was like,
Speaker 1: did you take the fat from then? Thoughts? And she goes, no,
Speaker 1: we didn't need it, and I was like shucks, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, and it part of me, like one of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends was doing the mommy like makeover with some
Speaker 1: light bo and honestly, for a few minutes debated it
Speaker 1: because I was like, I've always like had even as
Speaker 1: a kid, I've always had like a little like tummy
Speaker 1: pat poch and I have no matter like what I do,
Speaker 1: drink run like, it's kind of always there. And I
Speaker 1: was like, man, that'd be kind of nice. But he
Speaker 1: did tell me that it hurts really bad, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to be in pain everywhere,
Speaker 1: so um, and I ended up just being like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I like my little mommy pooch. I'm cool
Speaker 1: with it. But I didn't you know, I don't knock
Speaker 1: anyone that does the mommy makeover because I have a
Speaker 1: friend that did it and she looks banging. So I'm
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, shoot, there's always time if we
Speaker 1: end up later on. What was the recovery like with kids?
Speaker 1: So I was worried about that because they say for
Speaker 1: six weeks he can't lived anything more than ten pounds,
Speaker 1: and my son Jay's is too and so you still requires,
Speaker 1: you know, to lift he's still in a crib, so
Speaker 1: lift in and out of a crib. At the time,
Speaker 1: my my ax um. He cut the crib where we
Speaker 1: can open it like a so he just like kind
Speaker 1: of walk in there. So that was the only part
Speaker 1: that was kind of a bummer, because there was times
Speaker 1: when Jason was like up up and I was like, no, mommy,
Speaker 1: boo boo's remember, like Mommy can't pick you up. But
Speaker 1: it went by really fast, and I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you. The first three days I called my doctor
Speaker 1: and I was like, this tight feeling on my chest,
Speaker 1: this heaviness. I don't like, like is that going to
Speaker 1: go away? Because I don't. I don't. I don't like it,
Speaker 1: like it's causing the anxiety because I I do suffer
Speaker 1: with anxiety. So that feeling like I couldn't breathe or
Speaker 1: it was super tight. I didn't like that. I felt
Speaker 1: like I had like dumbbells on my chest. But then
Speaker 1: I took the I took the medicine. I think it
Speaker 1: was percocepts. I took those for two days and then
Speaker 1: I moved to Addville, and honestly, the pain was really minimal.
Speaker 1: The only thing that bothered me was just the tightness
Speaker 1: in the chest, and I think that lasted for six days.
Speaker 1: So I just was like high on value for like
Speaker 1: a week and it was great. So well that for me.
Speaker 1: The hardest part was, you know, my kids were younger too,
Speaker 1: but it was trying to sleep a stomach sleeper and
Speaker 1: generate and I would wake up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night laying on my stomach and like pain. I'm
Speaker 1: like why did my body let me roll over onto
Speaker 1: this pain? Like why did I do this? And I
Speaker 1: also was scared to take the medication for more than
Speaker 1: like two days because you know how like highly addictive
Speaker 1: it can be. So I was like onto advil, but
Speaker 1: I would wake up in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: like why why am I in this position? Like I
Speaker 1: had to get that punch to my back and that
Speaker 1: was that was a really that was probably the hardest
Speaker 1: for me because the same like I'm a stomach sleeper,
Speaker 1: I starfish like on my stomach and to sleep on
Speaker 1: my back was just so uncomfortable. But yeah, once I
Speaker 1: hit like the four or five weeks, I was kind
Speaker 1: of able to go like a little bit on my side.
Speaker 1: And now I'm back to stomach sleeping and I'm ten
Speaker 1: weeks post surgery, so um, and I feel good, like honestly,
Speaker 1: it's it's and I didn't think it was bad at all.
Speaker 1: And but I mean I've had C sections and a
Speaker 1: few other stomach surgeries like with my appendix and BLAE ladders,
Speaker 1: so I feel like it's not that painful in my experience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well they look amazing and in closing, because I know
Speaker 1: you gotta go. Um, do you have any regrets? Are
Speaker 1: you thrilled you did it? I have zero, zero, zero
Speaker 1: zero regrets. I'm happy with the size again, like I
Speaker 1: trusted my surgeon I have Honestly, my only regret is
Speaker 1: I didn't do it sooner. Yeah, that's only right. It happens. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing your experience, and I
Speaker 1: love you. I love you too. I hope to see
Speaker 1: you soon. Okay, yes, please bye bye, honey. First of all,

Speaker 1: Bethany joy Lynn and Sophia Bush and Hillary Burton and
Speaker 1: we have a podcast called Drama Queens. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's a walk down memory lane that also might be
Speaker 1: a little bit of a stumble down memory lane. I
Speaker 1: mean we'll have cocktails sometimes, so we might leave stumbling.
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. There are no fans like One
Speaker 1: Tree Hill fans. There is no family like our family.
Speaker 1: So we got together to do a rewatch podcast to
Speaker 1: relive the show as so many of you have so
Speaker 1: many times, because to be honest, we haven't Yeah, we
Speaker 1: haven't seen it since two thousand and two, two thousand three.
Speaker 1: We can't wait to take this trip down memory lane
Speaker 1: with all of you. What would our characters be doing
Speaker 1: right now? I think Hayley would probably be I mean,

Speaker 1: right like um Jamie's out of the house. She might
Speaker 1: she might be finally ready to live out those wild
Speaker 1: years that she cut. You know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: think it might be time. I'm going to say a
Speaker 1: lot of therapy. Peyton Sawyer is in so much therapy
Speaker 1: right now, well not long ago. I found my vote

Speaker 1: You could sit with us Girl Drama Queens, John mcqueens,
Speaker 1: John McQueen's Drama, John McQueen's Drawn mc queen. All right,
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna bring on our final guest, Dr
Speaker 1: Kelly Colleen. She is one of the new breakout star
Speaker 1: doctors on DR nine, O two and oh on East,
Speaker 1: So make sure you tune and not to mention an
Speaker 1: incredible surgeon. So we are going to ask all of
Speaker 1: the listener questions. Sorry, I'm just throwing them at you
Speaker 1: because we're short on time and I need all of
Speaker 1: your infa perfect guy. We're gonna start with botox fillers.
Speaker 1: These are all from like listeners of Teapot that they submitted.
Speaker 1: So how old should I slash can I start? I
Speaker 1: mean it honestly just depends on what's going on with
Speaker 1: your face. I have done botox on people as young
Speaker 1: as their mid teens, and so if you have what's
Speaker 1: called a writed at rest or a wrinkle at rest
Speaker 1: that's there even when you're not using your muscle, there
Speaker 1: is nothing about starting botox early. I'm not a big
Speaker 1: fan of extensive botox if there's nothing going on in
Speaker 1: your face, like, don't don't waste your money. But if
Speaker 1: you've got an actual problem, go for its. Sister. And
Speaker 1: people always say, oh, if you get bow talks earlier,
Speaker 1: it's preventative later. Is that true? It can absolutely be
Speaker 1: true if you're someone who's very active, like I'm so
Speaker 1: active in my forehead. I just that's how I emote
Speaker 1: when I talk. So starting botox in your mid late
Speaker 1: twenties is a great idea if you're someone where you
Speaker 1: can see it where it's gonna go a long term.
Speaker 1: If you're not super active in an area, do not
Speaker 1: waste your money. If you're a big smiler and around
Speaker 1: your eyes you can already see those rinkles forming in
Speaker 1: your mid late twenties, go for it. You could potentially
Speaker 1: prevent something that was permanent. Speaking of prevention, does getting
Speaker 1: botox help people with T MJ and migrains? Like? Do
Speaker 1: you believe in that? Absolutely? And it's well documented to
Speaker 1: work in both things. The key is that seeing a
Speaker 1: skilled practitioner that places it properly. If your your neighborhood
Speaker 1: met spat and they're not really doing the right ofvaluation
Speaker 1: and placement, you're you're you're just wasting your money. Go
Speaker 1: to someone who knows what they're doing. So would you
Speaker 1: recommend always to go to an actual doctor to get botox?
Speaker 1: You necessarily need to. I think you just need to
Speaker 1: be understand what you're doing. When you go to a
Speaker 1: mets fall without good supervision, people are going to sell
Speaker 1: you what they have and not necessarily what you need
Speaker 1: or what you should have. And so if you're going
Speaker 1: someplace that just has a hammer. Everything looks like a
Speaker 1: nail to them. And does botox actually help with hooded islands?
Speaker 1: You know it can't a little bit, but not a lot.
Speaker 1: You can get some mild elevation of the eyebrow when
Speaker 1: it's placed properly. You can get some major elevation of
Speaker 1: the eyebrow when it's placed poorly. So I would argue
Speaker 1: that if you have a hooded island, you have a
Speaker 1: droopy island. Solve the problem by having the surgery. Don't
Speaker 1: do weird things to your eyebrows. You're gonna regret, That's true.
Speaker 1: I've seen that, um And would you say that there's
Speaker 1: a big difference between disport and botox? They're pretty equivalent
Speaker 1: in my mind, But you're gonna find people that like
Speaker 1: one or the other more. I like disport more. I'm
Speaker 1: a disport girl. Don't kill me allergy, and I love
Speaker 1: you guys too, But it's just for whatever reason, I
Speaker 1: like the way it feels and looks on me more.
Speaker 1: I say, use whatever you can afford. They're all pretty equivalent.
Speaker 1: And what would you say, what would you say similar
Speaker 1: in regards to pain as botox, Because people are like,
Speaker 1: does botox hurt, does fill a hurt. I personally think
Speaker 1: filler hurts a lot more than botox. Totally, A great
Speaker 1: filler is a hundred times worse. In my mind, Botox
Speaker 1: is kind of like I think it's the equivalent of
Speaker 1: plucking an eyebrow hair. Each poke feels about that level
Speaker 1: of pain to me. Right, And then what would you
Speaker 1: say if somebody had a choice to either get like
Speaker 1: laser resurfacing or some different type of laser, or like
Speaker 1: start doing botox and filler or do you think they're
Speaker 1: too totally separate things? Totally separate things. So laser resurfacing
Speaker 1: it's going to improve your overall skin quality and texture,
Speaker 1: Botox minimize wrinkles that come from moving muscles, and filler
Speaker 1: is going to add back volume. Again, make sure you
Speaker 1: know whoever you're going to see knows how to do
Speaker 1: all of these things, because they're always going to do
Speaker 1: the same thing if that's the only thing they have
Speaker 1: to sell, and it doesn't solve the right problem. So
Speaker 1: how do you think that people can actually be sure
Speaker 1: that they're going to a good place and that that
Speaker 1: person is reputable and is able to do a good
Speaker 1: job for them. Well, I mean, I think in general,
Speaker 1: I think the absolute best botox filler laser management is
Speaker 1: done by plastic surgeons and dermatologists because we know it
Speaker 1: all and we have access to it all. I think
Speaker 1: if you go someplace that has a plastic surgeon or
Speaker 1: a dermatologist that work there and not only just a
Speaker 1: medical director, but physically present several times during the week,
Speaker 1: you have that backup and you have that knowledge to
Speaker 1: make really good decisions so you don't waste your money.
Speaker 1: I mean, your money is valuable. Put it where it's
Speaker 1: gonna actually fix what you wanted to fix. And I
Speaker 1: know that filler can be dissolved. Can botox be dissolved?
Speaker 1: So unfortunately no, So if botox is placed poorly, you're
Speaker 1: stuck with it for a couple of weeks to a
Speaker 1: couple of months, depending on what the complication is. Um
Speaker 1: that's what people love and hate about botox. And you know,
Speaker 1: if you love it, it's also gone in a few
Speaker 1: weeks to a month. Right, It just depends on how
Speaker 1: your body metabolism metabolizing it. Right. And then how come
Speaker 1: this question was a lot, But how come some people
Speaker 1: that get filler start to look kind of all Look
Speaker 1: the same, almost like cat ladies, like, what what's happening there?
Speaker 1: And how do you avoid that occurring to you? That
Speaker 1: happens from poorly placed filler. End of story. People that
Speaker 1: look like that have too much place in the wrong places.
Speaker 1: So often what happens is people see their faces coming
Speaker 1: down and they're told, if you put lots of it
Speaker 1: up here, your face moves up. And that's certainly the case,
Speaker 1: but you don't look human. You start looking like a
Speaker 1: very pretty alien and it's a bad look. And once
Speaker 1: you start getting botox, is it a must to continue
Speaker 1: or could you get it and be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: like it? Or does it do you a disservice to
Speaker 1: not get it that next time? Are you going to
Speaker 1: start developing those wrinkles again and make bigger lines or
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that? I mean, it really
Speaker 1: depends on what you're treating. If you have some wrinkles
Speaker 1: you don't like and you want to soften them, you
Speaker 1: have to do it consistently because every time it wears off,
Speaker 1: that muscle pulls on that skin informs the wrinkle again,
Speaker 1: and it's not going to get softer with time. If
Speaker 1: you do it consistently, the wrinkle get softer and softer
Speaker 1: and softer, and sometimes even completely goes away if you
Speaker 1: do it consistently for a year or two. If you're
Speaker 1: doing preventative botox and you don't really have a defined rinkle,
Speaker 1: you're not really doing anything bad by skipping, you know,
Speaker 1: every couple months and then coming back once or twice
Speaker 1: a year. Right, all right, we're moving on to boobs.
Speaker 1: We're moving on to boobs best augmentation. And this I
Speaker 1: actually need to know. Even though somebody in your office,
Speaker 1: Dr Lisa Casala, who I love, did my boobs I
Speaker 1: don't think I paid attention to when she told me.
Speaker 1: Is it true that you need to have your boobs
Speaker 1: touched up or redone every ten years? It's absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Once you have a silicone breast implant, they are a
Speaker 1: you know, device that has to be changed. They're not
Speaker 1: meant to be there for life. The reason why is
Speaker 1: because they're soft and they have wrinkles in them, even
Speaker 1: if you can't see them through the skin, and that
Speaker 1: wrinkle rubs, rubs, rubs for years, and it creates a
Speaker 1: weak point that ruptures one. Silicone implants ruptures. They're they're
Speaker 1: just very problematic and cause all kinds of complications, and
Speaker 1: so we need to get in there switch them out
Speaker 1: before they have the chance to cause problems. So, once
Speaker 1: you have an implant, it's like any type of health maintenance.
Speaker 1: It's like a colonoscopy. Every ten of fifteen years, you're
Speaker 1: gonna come in have a small procedure, Suck it up
Speaker 1: and do it. It's the right thing to do to
Speaker 1: stay stay healthy and safe and preserve your beautiful breast
Speaker 1: long term. And as this procedure the same type of
Speaker 1: recovery is the first time you get your boobs done.
Speaker 1: Or is it easier or is it more simple. It's
Speaker 1: much easier for most patients because you've already had the
Speaker 1: pocket created. So if your breast look great going into
Speaker 1: that procedure, it's gonna be a really no big deal thing.
Speaker 1: You'll be back to normal much quicker than the original surgery.
Speaker 1: If you've had problems, though, it might be just as
Speaker 1: longer longer, But most women, it's just a simple in
Speaker 1: and out switch the implant to a newer version, and
Speaker 1: every couple of years we get a newer, stronger, sturdier version.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get more than ten to fifteen years out
Speaker 1: of easing plants in the future. Oh, that's great. And
Speaker 1: then for people that you know went went bigger, were like,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like the style was bigger, you know,
Speaker 1: a little while ago, and now they want to have
Speaker 1: smaller boobs, but they still want the same Do they
Speaker 1: then need a lift or how does that happen? Will
Speaker 1: your boobs just adjust to having a smaller size, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it can be either one. It really depends on
Speaker 1: your personal skin. And then also how droopy your breasts
Speaker 1: are at a baseline. So many women can downsize with
Speaker 1: no lift and the skin and tissue will shrink up
Speaker 1: over six months or so and it will look beautiful
Speaker 1: and they don't require the extra scars. Some women they
Speaker 1: just their skin is to loose. Their skin quality is
Speaker 1: not great because the sunbathing or smoking, and they really
Speaker 1: need to have a lift to tighten the skin around
Speaker 1: that smaller implant. I will tell you nobody wants to
Speaker 1: have a lift when they come into my office. But
Speaker 1: I've never had a patient come back and say, man,
Speaker 1: I wish I didn't do that lift. I think the
Speaker 1: trade is so so good. It's like it gives you
Speaker 1: that beautiful, perky shape that you've been missing. And what
Speaker 1: if in five years from now, I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I want my implants out, but I still want, you know,
Speaker 1: to feel confident with my boobs and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: If I took the implant out and I got a lift,
Speaker 1: would I have a similar type of result? Yeah? So,
Speaker 1: I mean an implant and breast never looks like a
Speaker 1: natural breast. It just tends to look more round and
Speaker 1: has volume higher where a natural breast not. I personally
Speaker 1: think natural breasts are beautiful. I think women look amazing
Speaker 1: when their implants come out. You often need to do
Speaker 1: a little bit of work, though you can't just pull
Speaker 1: it out. The muscle needs to be repaired or it
Speaker 1: starts doing weird things. You need sometimes fat grafting to
Speaker 1: repair some of the sitting and stretching that the implant cause.
Speaker 1: And then plus or minus a lift, depending on how
Speaker 1: large your implants are and your tissue quality. Um, I
Speaker 1: think women look great with their implants out. I know
Speaker 1: many women are told you're gonna look terrible, you have
Speaker 1: to have them forever. That is just not the case.
Speaker 1: That's good, that well, that's exciting. And then what is
Speaker 1: the average cost of getting your like breast augmentation and
Speaker 1: a left So it's really going to depend on where
Speaker 1: you live because it's very regionally dependent. But I would
Speaker 1: say probably an average would be anywhere from fifteen to
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars for those two procedures from a board
Speaker 1: certified plastic surgeon. And remember you want a board certified
Speaker 1: plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board
Speaker 1: of Plastic Surgery. Okay, guys, to make sure you check
Speaker 1: that part. How common is breast implant illness and what
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that? So the trick is, we
Speaker 1: really don't know. There's never been great studies on it.
Speaker 1: You know. All we have is the studies that look
Speaker 1: at kind of general happiness with your implants, and in general,
Speaker 1: a vast majority of women upwards of nine for both
Speaker 1: cosmetic and reconstructive patients like their implants at ten years.
Speaker 1: Breast implant illness is a real thing. There's some women
Speaker 1: that just don't play well with implants, and we're not
Speaker 1: exactly sure who those women are. There's some active studies
Speaker 1: going on right now. There's one that will hopefully come
Speaker 1: out near the end of the summer where some of
Speaker 1: my brilliant colleagues have looked at the proper treatment of
Speaker 1: breast implant illness and what surgeries when you remove the
Speaker 1: implant are the right way to go. UM. There are
Speaker 1: very vocal, active crowd online and so I know a
Speaker 1: lot of the information is scary to patients. I always
Speaker 1: try to remind people that they're a wonderful support group,
Speaker 1: but they only see themselves. They only see other women
Speaker 1: that have problems, and so they start to believe that
Speaker 1: everybody with implants has problems, and that's just not not reality. UM.
Speaker 1: Implants can certainly cause issues, but most women are happy.
Speaker 1: I have rest in plants. I love them. UM. I
Speaker 1: continue to be happy with them, and I have them
Speaker 1: for twenty years now. So I think you just have
Speaker 1: to have these discussions with your doctor. But the reality
Speaker 1: is it's a real thing, and it's a real complication
Speaker 1: of potential risk, and your doctors should talk to you
Speaker 1: about it if you're having an implant place And how
Speaker 1: do you know if somebody comes in and like, maybe
Speaker 1: plastic surgery isn't the best thing for them mentally or physically,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, Like, what are some of the
Speaker 1: signs you look for? I mean, I remember when I
Speaker 1: first came into your offices and Dr Casella looked at me,
Speaker 1: and I was looking to get my boobs done. And
Speaker 1: this is before you know, I kind of went all
Speaker 1: in and changed my life and all of these things.
Speaker 1: And then I was telling her I also wanted to
Speaker 1: get a tummy tuck. And I remember this like it
Speaker 1: was yesterday, because she looked at me and she's like,
Speaker 1: I will one million percent to your boobs. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing a tummy tuk up on you. This is something
Speaker 1: you can do on your own. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: need it, like, and I just appreciate appreciated her honesty,
Speaker 1: and it also made me go wow, like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know somebody that didn't want to take my money. That's huge,
Speaker 1: like and it like made it made me feel empowered
Speaker 1: that I could make some changes and get myself to
Speaker 1: a place starts feeling better. And then she goes, Listen,
Speaker 1: if you make these changes and you come back in
Speaker 1: six months and you still want a tummy talk, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it. But how often will surgeons really give
Speaker 1: it to you like that? I mean, unfortunately, in my experience,
Speaker 1: not as often as they should. You know, I I
Speaker 1: think the best person in your corner is a surgeon
Speaker 1: that's going to be honest with you, and I think
Speaker 1: that's true of anything in life. Everybody should surround themselves
Speaker 1: by friends and family that tell you the truth. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: with plastic surgery, if you have a credit card and
Speaker 1: wave and around, someone's gonna take it. So you just
Speaker 1: have to be very careful who you choose. The things
Speaker 1: that I find the boring signs or when women don't
Speaker 1: know what they want, they're just unhappy and want something
Speaker 1: done and they come in and they're like, tell me
Speaker 1: what I need. Uh, nobody needs anything, and so I
Speaker 1: don't that's a patient where I just say, hey, I
Speaker 1: think you need to kind of re evaluate why you
Speaker 1: came into my office. UM. I also don't love when
Speaker 1: patients come in and they're doing it for someone. They're saying,
Speaker 1: my husband thinks I need bigger boots, my husband makes
Speaker 1: fun of this, my boyfriend, my wife, my girlfriend, and
Speaker 1: they never talk about what bothers them. They're bothered by
Speaker 1: another person being bothered, and I think that's a warning sign. UM.
Speaker 1: I also think the people that are trying to take
Speaker 1: a nine to attend on the scale of perfection. I
Speaker 1: think that, Um, I really hate that people don't appreciate
Speaker 1: and love the bodies that they're in. And I think
Speaker 1: that's why I love all In And I followed you
Speaker 1: for a long time. I've known you for a long too,
Speaker 1: but I love I think the focus really should be
Speaker 1: on fixing things that aren't fixable with a healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 1: And you know, the skin that stretches out for um,
Speaker 1: having babies, that's that's not fixable with diet and exercise.
Speaker 1: You know, if you have it a normal area of
Speaker 1: lcodistrophet like saddle bags, you are healthy weight and you
Speaker 1: do everything right, but you have a funny area of fact.
Speaker 1: Those are wonderful things to fix with plastic surgery, and
Speaker 1: I'm supportive of that, but I really think we need
Speaker 1: to start focusing on loving our bodies and what our
Speaker 1: bodies do for us, and stop finding fault with every
Speaker 1: inch of a woman's body and and trying to chase
Speaker 1: this impossible perfection that just doesn't really exist in real life.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've been around celebrities more than me.
Speaker 1: They don't look like what they look like. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a real right, It's a filtered version, and it's
Speaker 1: something that people say to me often is I can't
Speaker 1: believe you know, like you know, you lost all this way,
Speaker 1: you lost you know, pounds, Like what's happening with all
Speaker 1: the loose skin? And I don't see any And I'm like, listen, one,
Speaker 1: there's a different angles that show different situations. I have
Speaker 1: lou skin if I I wear a lot of highways
Speaker 1: to shorts and like our high waisted workout pants, and
Speaker 1: when I pull it down, there is a loose skin
Speaker 1: at the bottom. But that's one of those things that
Speaker 1: like I am, I embrace it. I'm like, listen, this
Speaker 1: is who I am. I carried you know, three babies
Speaker 1: in this belly, I you know, fluctuated. Wait my entire life.
Speaker 1: I'm happy that I got to a place where I
Speaker 1: am consistently taking care of myself where I didn't feel
Speaker 1: that way when it came to my boobs, Like I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, you know, like I just
Speaker 1: wanted that change. But a lot of people do ask
Speaker 1: I want to be able to get rid of the
Speaker 1: loose skin. So how do they do that? Yeah? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, loose skin. It it really depends on the
Speaker 1: degree of laxity. If it's a little bit loose, there's
Speaker 1: wonderful skin tightening machines that can tighten your skin up
Speaker 1: to about They do need to be done every eighteen
Speaker 1: months to two years because you lose the effect. And
Speaker 1: then if you have more than twenty tightening and you
Speaker 1: need then you really need to have some kind of
Speaker 1: tightening procedure like a tummy tup or a sign lift
Speaker 1: or an arm lift. But some of these surgeries have big,
Speaker 1: obvious scars that are pathnemonic for the surgery you had done.
Speaker 1: And so unless you've had a lot of laxity, I
Speaker 1: encourage people to just embrace their beautiful bodies and not
Speaker 1: get a scar where everyone scares at you and says, hey,
Speaker 1: I know what surgery you had done. Um. I don't
Speaker 1: think those surgeries are the right move for someone who
Speaker 1: doesn't have a huge amount of skin. And remember every
Speaker 1: tightening procedure as a trade. You're trading that loose skin
Speaker 1: for a big scar, and so you have to decide
Speaker 1: is that trade worth it? Are you trading up? Are
Speaker 1: you gonna be trading down? And a lot of women
Speaker 1: I see are trading down. They look amazing. They just
Speaker 1: have a little bit of laxing. There's no reason to
Speaker 1: do that to their body. Um, it's funny what you
Speaker 1: just said. I know you're a fellow peloton or I'm
Speaker 1: slightly obsessed with it myself. Christ Christian McGhee, who I'm
Speaker 1: obsessed with. Um, she's adorable, as are her voice. She
Speaker 1: had a post about this last week with her strong
Speaker 1: yoga body and she showed her loose stomach from having
Speaker 1: her beautiful boys, and I loved it. Made me feel
Speaker 1: so good because I'm like, even this strong, badass woman
Speaker 1: has the looseness and it's okay and she's not running
Speaker 1: to have something done to it. She's okay with it,
Speaker 1: and I love that. Yeah, I think you know, and
Speaker 1: to each his own, and you figure out, you know
Speaker 1: what it is that you want to You know that
Speaker 1: you want to change what you can work on and
Speaker 1: what you can live with. And for me personally, I
Speaker 1: can live with the fact going you know what, Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm taking care of me. I'm I'm doing the right steps.
Speaker 1: And if you know, further down the line, something changes
Speaker 1: and I want to try something or try laser try,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it, and I'm gonna be open and
Speaker 1: vulnerable with it because I think it is you know,
Speaker 1: I think that some people keep what they've done to
Speaker 1: themselves like really close to the cuff, you know, and
Speaker 1: and it's their you know, their option if they want
Speaker 1: to share. But I think when it when it does
Speaker 1: come to things, I wouldn't ever want to be like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I never got my boobs done. They're just
Speaker 1: of course they look like this after breastfeeding. It whatever
Speaker 1: it may be. So I think, you know, it is
Speaker 1: it is great that people are starting to open up
Speaker 1: more and talk about it. And then in closing, what
Speaker 1: is the biggest red flag? You can tell people that
Speaker 1: are going into a surgeon's office that like, this surgeon
Speaker 1: isn't for you. You're about to make a mistake with
Speaker 1: this person. So I think there's two or three things
Speaker 1: that I tell all my patients. The first most important
Speaker 1: thing I'm as you know, I'm I'm primarily a revision surgeon.
Speaker 1: I'm a fixer of people that are feel like they
Speaker 1: didn't get what they wanted the first time around. The
Speaker 1: most common thing that leads to this is not having
Speaker 1: a good communication with the surgeon. If you feel like
Speaker 1: you're being talked to and not listened to, that is
Speaker 1: a big red flag. And I think the other thing
Speaker 1: is uh not showing you before and actors that are
Speaker 1: taken long term that are six months or more out.
Speaker 1: And then the last is the hard sell. I think
Speaker 1: if someone pushes you hard, tries to convince you not
Speaker 1: to see other consults, tries to make you pick a
Speaker 1: date on the day of your consultation, that is a
Speaker 1: warning sign. You should be able to take this information jail,
Speaker 1: think about it, you know, ask questions in the future.
Speaker 1: You should never feel pressured into any surgical procedure. Wow,
Speaker 1: such good advice. Thank you so much. Where do people
Speaker 1: find you so they can, you know, ask you more
Speaker 1: questions or come see you because honestly, everybody in their
Speaker 1: office is so incredible. They're so warm, they're so kind,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be honest and truthful with you, which
Speaker 1: for me is such a game changer. I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel like I'm being had and so I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to get my money. I want to know that,
Speaker 1: like I can trust the people that I'm talking to.
Speaker 1: So how do they find you? Well? Thank you? I
Speaker 1: love I love that you had a good experience with us.
Speaker 1: So I am at an office called Castlic plastic surgery.
