Hey, it's Christy from Lululemon and I'm here at the office checking out the Shake It Out shorts. These have been my go-tos and I kind of think of them as a middle ground between a true run short and a more playful, athletic, sporty short. They have all the performance you want for running, so a comfy liner, our lightweight, swift fabric, even a pocket for your keys. But what I really like is the flowy fit and layered hem. It gives it a little bit of volume, a little bit of fun, so they feel as good on a run as they do just at coffee afterwards. You can find the Shake It Out shorts in-store now or online at lululemon.com.

00:00:30.018 --> 00:00:50.588
One of the key elements is to not find a surgeon who necessarily will do well, but find a surgeon who you feel comfortable if things don't go well. BBLs, they seem like they're the big risky one. BBL is Brazilian butt lift. We're going to take all the fat that we took out of your body and put it back in your butt.
3
00:00:53.575 --> 00:01:19.343
I need as much fat as I can get. So the liposuction done to do BBLs is the most aggressive liposuction you can have. That's why they're so deadly. Which procedure do people regret most often and why? Liposuction. I can do it under local. Any asshole can do it. And every human being is a candidate. Liposuction is way overdone and overused and too aggressive. That's the number one thing people regret.
4
00:01:20.052 --> 00:01:29.502
Even when you're doing all the right things, your strength training, staying active, prioritizing protein, keeping the muscle you built over a lifetime gets harder with age.
5
00:01:29.755 --> 00:01:54.899
Now, our parents were told to accept that it's just getting older. I don't buy that. And that's why I use Timeline, powered by Magnapur. Here's the real story. Muscle isn't just about strength or looking good. Muscle runs your metabolism, protects your balance, preserves your independence, and determines how powerfully you age. And what most people don't realize is that muscle loss isn't only about hormones or workouts.
6
00:01:54.899 --> 00:02:24.059
It's about cellular energy. As we age, our mitochondria, those energy engines inside our muscle cells become less efficient. Now, when your muscles can't produce energy well, it's harder to maintain strength, function and resilience. That's where MitoPure comes in. It's the only clinically studied form of urolithin A, a postbiotic shown in human clinical trials to support muscle strength and function by helping renew mitochondrial health at the cellular level.
7
00:02:24.059 --> 00:02:42.757
I love this because it works with your training, not instead of it. Now, strength training is the signal. Protein is the building block and Mitopure supports the cellular energy that allows your muscles to actually respond and adapt. Mitopure gummies make it simple, two a day, sugar-free, vegan, non-GMO, and a lot of

00:02:42.757 --> 00:02:57.843
and independently certified for quality. And let's not forget, absolutely delicious. So if staying strong is part of your longevity strategy, and I sure hope it is, visit timeline.com forward slash JJ Virgin and get 20% off your order.

Hey, it's JJ, and I want to challenge something you probably think you've already nailed, and that's vitamin C. Because if you're like a lot of women I work with, you're reading labels, you're choosing good brands, and you're assuming your vitamin C is actually delivering. But vitamin C supplements in general have a problem. And it's not the dose, it's the delivery.
10
00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:42.359
With most forms of vitamin C, like basic ascorbic acid, your body actually has a limited capacity for how much it can absorb at one time. Now, unlike most vitamin C supplements in nature, vitamin C is never isolated. It's paired with bioflavonides and plant compounds that help your body absorb it, retain it,
11
00:03:42.359 --> 00:03:57.462
and use it effectively. So when that context is missing, so are a lot of the benefits. And that is why I love a new formula called Qualia Vitamin C Plus. It uses seven distinct sources of vitamin C.
12
00:03:57.462 --> 00:04:20.682
including liposomal for enhanced absorption, plus superfruits, bioflavonoids, and zinc to support how your body actually works. And in a placebo-controlled study, Qualia Vitamin C Plus raised vitamin C levels by over 25% higher than the control group. Qualia Vitamin C Plus has the clinical evidence and the natural approach.

00:05:59.418 --> 00:06:16.732
Why are some surgeries exploding in popularity while others quietly destroy lives? Why do some people look amazing after procedures while others look strange, swollen, and are frankly regretful? And what actually works? What's dangerous?
18
00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:36.290
What does nobody tell you about before you sign up? If you've been following me, you know I had a facelift last year. We'll be talking about that and some of the things that have come up from it because we're in a place in a time when plastic surgery has never been more normalized, but also more
19
00:06:36.290 --> 00:07:06.209
more misunderstood. From Zempic face to mommy makeovers, facelifts at younger ages, hello, 20s, breast implant fears, and the deadly rise of BBLs. Yes, we're talking about those too. Women are being sold a lot of promises with very little truth. Today, Dr. Roddy Robin is back and is here to pull back the curtain on what's hype, what's risk, and what actually works and what
20
00:07:06.209 --> 00:07:22.477
And I'm going to put all of his information, including his awesome podcasts, Plastic Surgery Uncensored, his social media handles. You can get that all at jjvirgin.com forward slash D-R-R-A-D-Y for Dr. Roddy. I'll be right back with Dr. Roddy. Stay with me.
21
00:07:23.236 --> 00:07:50.506
And we're back. I'm so excited. Well, if you're going to come all the way out to Tampa from Beverly Hills, I'm going to get everything out of you. That's all I have to say, Dr. Roddy. So we're going to dive in. What I'm calling this is the truth about plastic surgery nobody says out loud. So we're going to have fun here. Let's do it. It's right up my alley. All right. So overall, is plastic surgery safer today or is it just better marketing? And I know how much you love marketing.
22
00:07:50.607 --> 00:08:14.435
Yeah, exactly. It makes me nauseous. No, it is 1000 times safer today than it's ever been. Anesthesia is 1000 times better, right? The machines, the medications, our monitors. I've always been, but some were better at selecting patients. We're a little more critical like, oh, you have a murmur. Oh, you have an arrhythmia. Go get it checked out. So that's better. And then the techniques have been refined, just like anything else. And
23
00:08:14.435 --> 00:08:43.021
And I would assume that most of the bad outcomes, I might be totally wrong here, so would be from non-board certified plastics or is it? So the answer is no. There are plenty of board certified plastic surgeons that are terrible and should have their license taken away. And there are some non-board certified non-plastic surgeons that are reasonably decent. But when you look at things, you look at things for trends and probability. Right.
24
00:08:43.021 --> 00:09:13.008
And the probability is that if something goes really sideways, it's often, more often, usually someone who's poorly trained and unscrupulous, which is parallel universe of plastic surgeons who are non-board certified. But unfortunately, you know, just like there's bad pilots and bad cops and bad priests, they're going to be bad plastic surgeons, even though they're sort of board certified. That's why you must do your homework. Yes. So BBLs. Yes.
25
00:09:14.290 --> 00:09:42.995
What are they? And they seem like they're the big risky one. Yeah. Are they? So BBL is Brazilian butt lift, which, as the name denotes, originated predominantly out of Brazil because of their aesthetic preferences, which is fuller, rounder, bigger butts. And essentially, the idea is a Brazilian butt lift means that we are adding volume, fat to your butt, which as it fills it, makes it.
26
00:09:43.163 --> 00:09:58.435
Lifted, right? So as we put volume in your butt, because it swells up, it gets bigger, it's quote unquote lifts it. Okay, got it. So the basic principle is we're going to liposuction your body, and it's usually everywhere.
27
00:09:58.823 --> 00:10:14.703
That's what they refer to as lipo 360. I hate all these terms, but we'll use them because that's what you're going to hear. We're going to take all the fat that we took out of your body, put it in canisters, prep it, wash it, clean it, put it in syringes and put it back in your butt. Okay. Sounds pretty good.
28
00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:31.223
But, so number one is what could possibly be wrong with taking fat from all over my body? This is like the best surgery I've ever heard in my life. It's a win-win, negative. In order for you to make any type of appreciable change in your butt,
29
00:10:31.223 --> 00:10:46.698
Meaning I spent a shit ton of money. I went under anesthesia, yada, yada, yada. I look at my butt. Wow, that's better. You need a lot of volume because a butt, even if you're a tiny person, is a big ass space. When I want to fill your lips, I need five cc's at the most.
30
00:10:47.710 --> 00:11:07.015
When I want to fill your butt, I need hundreds of cc's. Even if you're like, no, no, no, I don't want to be Kim Kardashian. No, no, no, I'm not talking about Kim. Just a tiny change requires a lot of volume. Just like if I throw a penny into an ocean, it disappears. So number one, you need a lot of fat. Okay, I'm following. What's the problem? I got a ton of fat. No, you don't.
31
00:11:07.522 --> 00:11:30.472
And so what they do is, whereas if you came in and said, hey, Dr. Bon, could you lipo my arms and my belly and my back? First of all, I almost never do lipo, which is unheard of, because 99% of lipo leaves you loose skin, irregular, dense divots, looks like shit. I've seen the worst from lipo. Looks like shit. So I do it incredibly sparingly. But if you came in to me and you said, hey—
32
00:11:30.472 --> 00:11:51.363
Dr. Bon, I think I have a little bit of stubborn fat here. I work out a lot. JJ, I would be lipoing you with your love handle in mind, meaning I am looking at your love handle and going, that looks good, we're done. But when I'm lipoing you for fat for your butt, I don't give a shit what the donor sites look like. I need as much fat as I can get. So the liposuction done,
33
00:11:52.291 --> 00:12:20.253
To do BBLs is the most aggressive liposuction you can have, meaning every area we lipo, we them, they go to 10. They lipo your arms. They take every amount of fat out, your upper back, your lower back, your abdomen, your inner thighs. Okay. And initially, everyone's like, wow, this looks great. And then, of course, two years later, now is the fallout. Loose skin, a bunch of dents, irregularities, et cetera. So we've now stolen from Paul, who's poor, and we gave it to Peter. Okay.
34
00:12:20.253 --> 00:12:46.645
Now, what's the butt with the butt part? Okay, we inject the fat in there. And if you inject a little bit of fat, you're fine because you're injecting a small amount of fat and the butt can handle it. But where all the deaths occurred, because BBLs are the most deadliest procedure we've ever had in plastic surgery, is they were putting in hundreds, 800, 900 cc's of fat into each buttock. And what was that? What is that in pounds?
35
00:12:46.645 --> 00:13:16.531
I don't know what it is in pounds, but in volume, it's like an entire canister in each butt. So an 800cc implant is the size of, let's say, a cantaloupe. Wow. It's a lot of volume. Remember, these people have already their own butts. And usually the people going for the biggest butts already have a big butt, right? I've seen some of these and they look ridiculous. Well, you're in Florida. So it's funny. Small butts, women who are fit, want small butts. Large butts, people who already have a lot, want a lot.
36
00:13:16.531 --> 00:13:35.093
At any rate, when they were putting a lot in, they were putting it in. They ran out of space. So they started penetrating into the muscle. And then that's when you got what's called a fat emboli. Most people know about a pulmonary embolus. Blood clot shoots out of your leg, goes through your heart and straight into your lung, kills an area in your lungs, you drop dead.
37
00:13:35.093 --> 00:13:56.643
Okay. Well, now instead of blood traveling and doing that, fat is traveling. And then they did autopsies in these people. They found a bunch of fat in their lungs and their heart. Wow. So BBLs, that's why they're so deadly, because the deaths that were associated with the emboli and also all the damage from removing the fat, but they're still popular.
38
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:06.363
Are they popular? They're popular in a subset of the world, meaning there are individuals in whom that is their aesthetic. And Kim Kardashian...
39
00:14:06.498 --> 00:14:30.123
Is that butt real? No, of course it's not real because you don't need to be a rocket scientist. You just follow her. You follow her photo. She's been in the press since she was 20 or 19 with Paris Hilton. So her butt grows. I'm sure it's a combination of things. You can add fat, which I'm sure she had a BBL done. You can then add, back in the day, it was called Sculptra. Sculptra was this sort of,
40
00:14:30.123 --> 00:14:52.111
in-between filler. It wasn't the HA, like Juvederm, but it was something in between, and it was very expensive, but if you had money, you could use it. And then you could always add a small implant. So those things are all the combination of things, which then takes me to, ta-da, the newest, greatest thing, which I actually think might be another one of these revolutionary things. Have you heard of Alloclay? No.
41
00:14:52.111 --> 00:15:22.098
Okay, this is perfect for you. This is for butts? This is for wherever. So listen. Wow. Unfortunately, the leaner, fitter, older you get, the more fat you lose. Correct? Yeah. And your body. I mean, I couldn't do lipo to put it in anything because I got nothing for them to get. We tried to even get it for stem cells and then I was bruised. Correct. So the areas on your body in which you don't want fat, you're loving it. Rip delts, rip byes, flat abdomen. Awesome. Breasts need fat.
42
00:15:22.098 --> 00:15:45.588
faces need fat, butts need fat. Not everyone's butt, but a lot of people even don't have the anatomy that even if they do 4,000 donkey kicks or whatever, they're not going to develop the glute mass. So for the thin patients, which is a tremendous part of my practice, because I live in LA and I have a lot of fit moms that are yoga, Pilates, they had no, I don't do BBLs, but they have no recourse.
43
00:15:45.773 --> 00:16:10.124
Well, here comes a new product. So there is now something called Alec Clay. It's cadaver fat. It's a donor. When you need a heart transplant, where do you get it from? A donor. And a lung transplant? A donor. Well, now that donor, also, they take the abdominal wall. And this company, Tiger, has a proprietary method, which works, where they remove all the cellular DNA. Mm-hmm.
44
00:16:10.225 --> 00:16:39.790
All these patients have been screened for every genetic and bacteria and whatever disease. And then they create syringes full of this fat scaffolding. And it comes pre-filled, pre-ready to go. And I now, and I've done many of these cases, I'm able to very eloquently add volume in an otherwise fit lean person from a syringe that I order. It's been a game changer in that I have such a fit lean world. And before you couldn't take fat from anywhere.
45
00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:55.147
Well, okay. Wow. See, I knew it would blow your mind. Look at that. You're like, your wheels are turning. I remember early on when people were doing fat to face and you had to overfill it a bit because some of it would die. Is this the same situation? So once you take fat out of the body,
46
00:16:55.214 --> 00:17:18.147
Yours, from a cadaver, from wherever. It's dead. The fat that just came out of you 35 seconds ago is now dead. It's disconnected from you. And then you put it back. And the whole principle behind fat transfer is once it goes in your body, it needs to be put into soil. Just like a seed comes alive because of imbibition. The stuff kind of seeps into it until it gets roots.
47
00:17:18.147 --> 00:17:39.781
So fat goes into your butt or your face or your breast, and then the surrounding fat starts to kind of like touch it and hold it and then give it blood supply. The reason people ran in trouble is that a certain percentage of the fat dies. And that fat dies because, number one, it's sitting next to dead fat. So you can't just go overfilling it because most of the fat's sitting next to a neighbor who's dead.
48
00:17:39.781 --> 00:18:03.440
your dead neighbor is not helping you. It's like zombies. Yeah, two, your body starts to absorb it. Like your metabolic rate is higher than say somebody else's metabolic rate. So it is true that in general, anytime you transfer a fat, whether it's yours or this cadaver version, a percentage of it will go away. And do we know how much? Right now, it's been around for a few years in data. It's been around market-wise probably a year. Yeah.
49
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:28.769
The philosophy is about the same amount, a little, you know, let's say 50 to 75% of it remains. Like any product, there's a learning curve. It's a new product. Whatever it was, Botox was a new product. Juvederm was a new product. I don't overdo anything ever. I never overcorrect anything because I'd much rather you come back and say, oh my God, I'm so happy with da-da-da-da. I wish you a little more than what do I do with this now? How do I get it out? That's the case with breast implants, everything for that matter.
50
00:18:28.769 --> 00:18:48.867
I just thought it's a very interesting thing because as a fit lean person, you're not immune to wanting some volume. And this is the new world revolution, you know, amazing, holy shit kind of a thing. Will this last longer than the fillers for your face? So they have now in the process of...
51
00:18:48.867 --> 00:19:13.792
formulating a facial version of it. So it's called Alicle. And Alicle, when you look at it, you can go on my Instagram or whatever. I have many posts on it. It's kind of fibrous and it's a little thick. So it's great for breasts and it's great for butts, but not for face yet. So they're coming out with soon in the next six months where they're going to process it smoother because anything that goes in your face should be like called nanofat. It should be like paste. Back in the day,
52
00:19:14.467 --> 00:19:41.197
15, 20 years ago, it was too clumpy. They didn't know that the size of the fat globule should be smaller. That's why people were getting all the lumps and bumps under their eyes. Today, that should never happen. So yes, eventually they'll get it soft enough to put in the face. But here's something for someone who, let's say, is having a mastectomy, had breast implant illness, and now they have an option. Sure. Its indications are the same as fat transfer. The only problem with
53
00:19:41.939 --> 00:20:02.257
putting it in the breasts or places where there isn't a lot of fat is you have to do it incrementally. You can't, you know, the biggest mistake most plastic surgeons make and patients is they just want to be done with things. So we want all your money at once and you want to do the surgery at once. Well, this particular thing is a layered process. You put a little bit, it survives. You put a little more, it survives because you're putting it in an area that doesn't have a lot.
54
00:20:02.442 --> 00:20:25.207
The butt has a lot of fat in it. The breast that you've explanted or mastectomized doesn't have a lot of fat. So needless to say, I thought you'd like that, and it segued nicely to your BBL. It does. And while someone's layering it, though, it's not like a big surgery, it sounds like. No, you can even do it under local. That's amazing. Yeah, it's pretty cool. What about a zumbic face? Is it a real thing? Sure.
55
00:20:25.207 --> 00:20:48.123
But I mean, is it a Zempic face or is it aging or is it just losing weight? I mean, what is it? So Zempic face is 90% of it is I just lost a ton of weight. I don't care if you lose it from I became a gym rat. I became a vegan. I got a gastric sleeve. I don't care how you lose the weight. Zempic happens to be one of them. Once you waste away and you've lost 100 pounds, you are going to lose fat.
56
00:20:48.123 --> 00:21:08.761
and you're going to lose it in your face. The reason why it's so shocking is you lose it in such a speed that the photos are juxtaposing. So it's not that, oh, what if I lost it gradually? You'd still lose 100 pounds. When you get to 100 pounds less, your face is 100 pounds less full. So the difference is you got these celebrities
57
00:21:08.761 --> 00:21:33.753
And they're, you know, I don't know, six months earlier, they were on concert or tour or wherever. And you're like, oh, okay, whatever. Look at Adele. And then all of a sudden, six months later, you look at, you know, the Osbournes and you're like, oh my God. And then the last part is they don't know when to shut it off. They pass point. Yeah. You know, you're like, how could too much gold be bad? How can you have too much money? So how can you be too thin? And you are too thin.
58
00:21:33.955 --> 00:21:53.632
There is a component, which I think we'll find out. There's some muscle wasting component, muscle atrophy. There's some concepts of bone atrophy. I don't know. It's early. The science isn't there. In other words, is there in addition to, I lost 100 pounds. Did I lose some muscle mass? And did I lose some bone? Aside from the fact that I'm just doing nothing.
59
00:21:53.632 --> 00:22:14.810
I think, so there was an interesting study just came out. It was a mouse study, but it was looking at the muscle loss. And what they looked at, what they found was a lot of what they're seeing is muscle loss because they're looking at fat-free mass instead of skeletal muscle because they're just predicting skeletal muscle from fat-free mass and making these, you know, accusations on Ozempic. But it's actually...
60
00:22:14.810 --> 00:22:39.953
was a shrinkage of the liver by 20% because they're losing so much liver fat. And it's looking at like it's fat-free mass, but it's not. A lot of these things aren't impacting bone and they're really minimally impacting muscle. It's probably just... I think the drugs are amazing and I'll tell you why. I think that like anything, we're still trying to get our hand around how to use it. It's the same as filler, Zempic is filler, in that it's an amazing new advancement of health.
61
00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:56.339
And in 90% of people, it's awesome. In 10% of people, it's been using correctly, just like filler was. And now filler got a bad rap. And, you know, we love to jump on things and undo things. Did filler get a bad rap? Well, filler right now, when you tell a patient filler, there's sort of this...
62
00:22:56.339 --> 00:23:18.243
that pillow face and all this, yeah, it does have a bad rap. I can tell you that overwhelmingly, if you speak to any one of your injectors, like these nurses that are out there who make a living off of this, I don't make a living off of this, they're telling you they're down by 70, 80%. Really? Yeah, because people have, you know, they just follow the trends and they're not paying attention that the filler isn't the problem, you're just getting overfilled.
63
00:23:18.243 --> 00:23:48.230
So if a patient comes to me and she's like a 36-year-old girl who's beautiful and everything's great, she's super lean, works out, she's a little hollow in the mid face, she doesn't need a facelift, you just need like a little bit of filler in your face, you look stunning, that's the indication. And that's always been the indication. It just wasn't for the 49-year-old who needed a facelift and you just kept filling her and now she looks like, I refer to it as koi fish, like the sides get so big. So I think that Ozempic or all the GLPs are phenomenal because overall we have a massive
64
00:23:48.230 --> 00:24:07.012
of obesity, morbid obesity. So, you know, I've been in the weight loss industry for 40 years and there's this chart that we would always use when we were at clinical conferences and it was showing how the states were going from, you know, they would go blue to red and it was not Democrat, Republican. It was like, you know...
65
00:24:07.012 --> 00:24:23.060
It was like, how obese are you getting to morbidly obese? And it's like they started out light blue and now they're all like already even Colorado is falling. So you're like, oh, my gosh, 70 percent now overweight or obese, 40 percent obese.
66
00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:45.503
And it reminds me of out in the fitness world, everyone's concerned about overtraining and cortisol. I go, you know what? 30% of people are actually even meeting the guidelines for what the CDC says to do, which are too low. And you're worried about the 1% that might be out there overtraining and their stress response. Like, I'm not. And the thing about it is that is the case with everything, things that are good.
67
00:24:46.229 --> 00:25:02.108
are good predominantly well over 90%. And things that are good, everything, everything you can mention to me, anything you bring up, I can find 10% that I could kind of be like, well, but... And the reality is that you can't punish the 90% for the 10%. You just have to learn...
68
00:25:02.108 --> 00:25:26.493
to manage that 10%. And the same is true of everything that comes out. And all of a sudden now people like to jump on the anti-ozempic phase. I've been pro GLP-1 since they came out. And I just think they're dose strong. I think they're one of the most amazing things. I think they're a longevity drug. So what separates a natural facelift from someone who looks like they got some work done? It's not a switch.
69
00:25:27.100 --> 00:25:38.525
It's a slide, it's a dial. So when I'm doing a facelift, I literally open up the face, I go in, whether you do something to the sma, I'm not gonna worry about the details right now,
70
00:25:39.790 --> 00:26:06.773
The bottom line is at some juncture, I'm lifting and pulling, right? Anyone who says otherwise because they don't like to use the word pull because pull has been associated with bad. So now we re-elevate, we suspend, we release. They love all these fucking words. It makes me crazy because it's just garbage. The reality is at some point we're pulling on things because we're relifting things. Yeah. Right? How much do I pull? Do I pull a little? Do I pull a little more? Yeah.
71
00:26:07.111 --> 00:26:13.169
How about now? How about now? And the answer is, that's the nuance of a good life.
72
00:26:13.996 --> 00:26:39.848
versus great versus bad surgeons. So every face, anatomy, structure, laxity requires a pull. So if a patient is younger, less laxity, less falling, you pull a little less. If a patient has fallen more, you pull a little bit more. So to answer your question, what makes for a natural facelift is one in which the surgeon figured out what was the right amount of pain.
73
00:26:40.220 --> 00:27:04.942
re-elevation or pulling, and I use the word pull loosely, to make that face look good. So turn the dial up. It's easy. Every surgery we do, we can turn up the dial. So, okay, I do your facelift, and instead of pulling a centimeter and a half, I pull two and a half centimeters. Now I'm standing in front of you. Your nasolabial folds are fully pulled out. The corner of your mouth looks a little tugged.
74
00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:21.665
And your chin looks a little pointy. And when you turn, you have a, it's a little bit stiff. And the sides of your mouth get flattened, right? The sort of telltale signs. So every surgery, I do a ton of noses. As you turn, as you scoop down the hump,
75
00:27:21.817 --> 00:27:48.327
Wow, that looks good. That's not looking good. That looks terrible. Oh, my God. As I turn up the lift, the nose. Oh, that's cute. Oh, that's a pig. As I remove skin from your eyelids. As I pull up your eyebrows. As I enhance your breasts. So, for example, breast talk, what makes it natural? What makes it natural is you're 5'2", 112 pounds, and you're an A cup, and you should be a full B. And that looks natural. What if I want to be a small D? Then you will not look natural. Okay.
76
00:27:49.137 --> 00:28:18.685
The end. So when you're doing these, having just done this, and she did it all under local, are they pulling and testing? Like, how do you do that? So what you do is you make an incision. 99% of surgeries are the same. So we make an incision normally in front of the ear, but within the ear and behind the ear. Whether it extends into the hair and whether it extends into the hairline depends on the laxity that you have. But the gist of it, the approach, the entry point is right in the line of the ear and behind it.
77
00:28:18.685 --> 00:28:35.324
Then we open up the skin and we march forward and then we get to the muscle layer. And what we do with the muscle layer, which they refer to as SMAS, S-M-A-S or whatever, is each surgeon's preference, training, call. But something should be done to that layer because the old school surgery
78
00:28:35.611 --> 00:29:00.282
facelifts with just pulling on the skin. And the reason why that doesn't work is you're pulling on the item that is most likely to relax, to be over pulled, et cetera. Skin doesn't hold well. It's not a strong tissue. And it's really not the thing that's moved. If you look at my face, which at 52, I'm starting to have this sort of looseness here. Well, it turns out by anatomy, that's the whole muscle, the whole tissue as a unit
79
00:29:00.788 --> 00:29:24.380
has moved as a composite. They get up to the muscle. I like to do a deep plane. Doesn't matter, which means I like to open that muscle and then go underneath it. The guy, I think, in New York that did, Kris Jenner's did what's called a smasectomy and we remove some, but something has to happen to that layer. So let's just, for the sake of argument, do the technique that I do. I go under that muscles. I release all the things that are holding it.
80
00:29:24.835 --> 00:29:49.912
Right. We have ligaments and they kind of anchor to the bone. And that's why when you see people who age, they age, they avalanche, but they're tethered in places. Right. It doesn't just all slide down. There's like an anchor point in certain areas. Those are the sort of the pillars. Those don't move, but everything else just slides right past it. And when you do a reversal of that, you've got to go in, find those pillars, release them.
81
00:29:50.924 --> 00:30:19.308
Don't damage the nerves so that you can smile. That's the whole point. And then this now composite, which means skin, fat, and this sort of smashed layer are one piece of paper. The muscles are below and the nerves are below. We don't want to talk about those. We don't want to see them. And then I can literally pull. And when I pull, I'm looking at your mouth. I'm looking at the corner of your nose. And I'm looking at the corner of your jaw. And I'm down in your neck. I'm looking at the...
82
00:30:19.477 --> 00:30:45.295
Turkey neck. And when I pull this sheet of paper exactly like a bed sheet and I look forward, I can see what's happening. And if I pull a little, I correct it mildly. And if I pull a lot, whoa, that doesn't look good. And then I or him or her needs to decide what's the right amount of salt to put in this recipe. Now, I know we talked about this last time, but I just want to dry this point home and talk a little bit more about it.
83
00:30:46.156 --> 00:31:09.899
It sounds like it is better to do small amounts over time, like to have that facelift and then maybe 10 years later have an update on it. So what works for you and your budget is you and your budget. Like, I can't afford it now. I don't want it. It's too severe for me. I'm not ready. I feel like, well, fine. When you're 59 and you look in the mirror and one day you're like, oh, I can't take this anymore. Fine.
84
00:31:09.899 --> 00:31:29.339
But from an aesthetic standpoint, which is I'd like to look my very best for as many years as I can within reason, then yes, because somewhere in your mid 40s to 50s, somewhere between 45 and 53, 99% of people, even the one who's like a unicorn has changed.
85
00:31:29.575 --> 00:31:56.795
And if you go and you are, you were a 10 and now you're a seven, we can make you into nine again. And it's just two took a notch, notch, notch. Oh my God. No one will know because you went from seven to nine. You look so well rested. Then you go live your life again. It took you 45 years to go from 10 to seven. Remember that 45 years to go from 10 to seven. I put you back to nine. So in 15 years, you're going to go back to a seven.
86
00:31:57.352 --> 00:32:17.213
Why it took 45 years the first time and only fit? Because you're now a 45-year-old tissue. So it's accelerating. But you're not going to go, in 15 years, you go back to a seven. And then we notch it to two again. And we go back to nine. So yes, if you want to look your very best so that when you're 65 and you look natural and good, yes, yes, that is ideally the way to do it.
87
00:32:17.534 --> 00:32:43.471
Years ago when I was living in Palm Springs, I was on the Dr. Phil show every week doing his weight loss challenges. And we had the 100 plus pound weight losses. That's where my buddy, Dr. Larry Copeland came in and did some body contouring because we literally had two people that lost 100 pounds. And you can imagine what that looked like. What do you do there for someone? Because that is a thing and it's becoming more of a thing now with GLP-1s.
88
00:32:43.471 --> 00:33:13.120
Yeah, probably the single greatest spike in my practice, second to facelifts, is body contouring, right? So what that means basically is I've lost 100 or more pounds. What do I do? Well, first of all, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what age you are. It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are. And it doesn't matter how you lost it. Once you lose 100 pounds or more, you will have loose skin everywhere. So what I like to do with those patients, I recently did a gal. She's a lawyer. She's 30. She was 400 pounds.
89
00:33:13.812 --> 00:33:31.717
She's now 185. It's 200 some odd pounds. So first thing I like to do, because I'm very much about planning. I have an economic plan for my family. I do financial managing and budgeting. So they come in and I want to make sure they're not overwhelmed. Because the reality is, unlike you who went in and said, listen...
90
00:33:32.780 --> 00:33:52.608
it's time for me to do my face. It was like brow and eyelid and face. But when, or I'm here to do my breasts. But when you go in after losing 100, 100, 50, 200 pounds, it's your whole body. And it's very overwhelming. And a lot of them are bummed out because they kind of weren't ready because they thought, listen, the Holy Grail, I lost 200 pounds. I can't believe I did it.
91
00:33:52.608 --> 00:34:13.313
And you just assumed that you would get over the rainbow and it would just be like, it would be heaven. And then you're there and you're like, wow, this is even worse. Why is this even worse? Because now everyone looks at me with clothes on. They think I look amazing, but internally I have this secret. And it's a very interesting phenomenon. Furthermore, they look at themselves in the mirror and they're still fat.
92
00:34:13.617 --> 00:34:30.914
They're looking in the mirror and they see all this loose skin. And I have had hundreds and hundreds of patients tell me I still need to lose another hundred pounds. I'm like, no, you don't. As a matter of fact, you're too hollow right now. Look at all this. This is all skin. So first thing we like to do is I like to what I call the wish list.
93
00:34:30.914 --> 00:34:56.227
Tell me the things that bother you in terms of priority. The first thing that you would do if you could only afford it. Tell me the second thing you would do. Tell me the third thing you would do. So there are six areas that everyone changes. One, the neck and face. If you are 35 and younger, you'll be okay. It won't be perfect, but you'll be fine. If you're 35 and older, you'll have some loose skin in your neck.
94
00:34:56.227 --> 00:35:24.003
The second is the breasts. Man, Anne, or woman, it doesn't matter. Women have breasts that become saggy and lose volume. Men have gynecomastia. The next is the arms. They refer to them as their bat wings, but they have loose arms that then start to, aside from looking bad, physically restrain you from doing things. Next is your upper trunk, which is all the loose skin in your upper back, around your bra, that whole area. Next is your lower trunk,
95
00:35:24.425 --> 00:35:36.035
which is the main event, which is all the loose skin on your abdomen and love handles and your buttock and thighs. And last is your inner thighs. That affects everybody. What we then do is we create
96
00:35:36.254 --> 00:35:57.331
A plan. We look at them. We prioritize what bothers them. We look at their financials, because this is a very expensive endeavor. And then we plan. So one of two things will happen. You'll either do a single event, single surgery, and you'll go away because it's... You can do that all in one surgery? Negative. I'll tell you my plan, my thing. So either you'll do your...
97
00:35:57.331 --> 00:36:21.057
a single surgery and fix the items that you can afford and then you'll disappear or you fix your whole body gradually. So 99.99% of surgeons who do body contouring do so with a team. How do they in Formula One change four tires in under three seconds? There's 12 people who change your tires. So 99.9% of surgeons bring in a team. How do they change your tires?
98
00:36:21.057 --> 00:36:41.341
And that team involves people you've never met. You never consulted. You don't know who they are. They could be other doctors. They could be techs. They can be nurse PAs or they can be nurse practitioners. What that means is I have decided to go see Dr. Smith and I'm going to do my arms, my thighs and my breasts. He says he's going to be done in seven hours. Okay. So you go to sleep.
99
00:36:41.729 --> 00:37:09.168
And while you're asleep, this is not make-believe. This is reality. Someone's operating, sewing on your right, closing your right arm. Someone's closing your left arm. Oh, no. Two different people doing... Of course. You think Dr. Smith's going to do arm, thighs, legs in one by himself? That's not going to happen. 99.999% of body contouring is done with multiple people. Not your facelift, not your rhinoplasty, not your breast aug. But this is hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sutures. So I am unusual.
100
00:37:09.910 --> 00:37:34.379
For 21 years, thousands of patients, I've sewn every single patient clothes myself. Not a single stitch has been placed by a tech, a physician assistant. And in plastic surgery, that's actually unheard of. Because when you do arm lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts, I'm talking miles and miles of sutures, three layers, everything. But these are sutures that are going to show too. Oh, for sure. I mean, these are the most important. But patients don't know it.
101
00:37:34.379 --> 00:38:02.543
And what happens is you come in and you're unhappy and you obviously want as much done as possible. You don't want to keep doing this shit. They want to book as much as they can. They're not going to delay things. When you're there saying, hey, can I have these two purses? No, why don't you buy one purse and just see if you like it and come. Are you kidding me? Yes, you can have these two purses. So patients want it done. Doctors want it done. They go and do it. No one tells you otherwise because it's not illegal. So I do it in phases because I'm the rate limiter.
102
00:38:03.421 --> 00:38:31.568
So I do phase one, phase two, and phase three. If the patient wants it all done by me, that's the only way I can. I can only do eight to 10 hours of operating. So what we do is we divide it. So most patients who have lost a ton of weight, who've planned about it, take about a year, and we do three phases. And in each phase, we do about eight to 10 hours of clothes, like skin removal. And we'll remove 10 to 20 pounds, 10 to 20 pounds. Biggest red flags when choosing a surgeon.
103
00:38:31.670 --> 00:38:39.517
So I have six. One is you go into the office and you don't see the surgeon. You see the consultant.
104
00:38:39.803 --> 00:39:08.238
Who is the consultant? Oh, whoever. Someone comes in. Hi, nice to meet you. So tell me what brings you in here. And you do all this. Where's the doctor? So a lot of surgeons to expedite the process, have you meet with some type of consultant. Two, when there's some type of pressure that, listen, if you book your surgery today, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or we only have one spot left. No one who's reputable should pressure you into doing surgery. Next, when you talk to them about their...
105
00:39:09.014 --> 00:39:24.607
Team, they don't have specifics. So 21 years I've been in practice, 18 of them I have the same anesthesiologist. I've operated on my mom, my wife, my sister, my mother-in-law, my aunt, and my four nieces, and these are the two that took care of them. To me, that's a winning team.
106
00:39:24.607 --> 00:39:53.935
And when you work with the same people, you end up having a better outcome. So you should want to know who their team is. Most times, you just, whoever's the doc du jour will be there. So you want to know the team. I think that when you, specifically, you should ask about follow-ups. Okay, I paid you a lot of money. You did the surgery. Awesome. Who do I see and when do I see them and how many times? And my wife had six spine surgeries. In total, she saw three different spine surgeons zero times. It was their PA and she saw them at three months.
107
00:39:54.408 --> 00:40:14.472
Every patient I've operated on 21 years, I've seen at one week, at two weeks, at six weeks, and one year. Not my MA, not my nurse, me. So you want to make sure that you and the person who operated on you are seeing each other. Not when there's a complication, because normally it's like, we don't need to see you until there's an issue. No, no.
108
00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:42.957
That person doesn't know there's an issue. Right. You operated on me. You took my money. Well, you should see me. And then I am a big, big stickler about this. You should ask them who is going to close me. It's you wouldn't think like, what do you mean? Who's going to close me? What do you mean? I came and saw this guy in New York. He's the shit. I mean, his price is four times more than everybody else. But did you ask him? I didn't. Why would I have to? Did you ask him? Not who's in the room.
109
00:40:43.312 --> 00:41:05.570
Not who's helping you, not who's your assistant, not who's your... Who other than you places sutures? Very famous facial plastics guys do facelifts. And because they do two in a day, which is a lot, they leave the room and let the junior, the fellow, the tech, whoever closed the facelift after they've done a few key sutures. Oh, boy. Yeah.
110
00:41:05.941 --> 00:41:26.900
Wow. So those are red flags to me. And a dirty office is a dirty surgeon. Well, dirty office, come on. Yeah, dirty meaning like disorganized, discombobulated. You know what I mean? Like you want to give them grace, like they're having a bad day. No, no, I don't have that grace. It's a bad sign. Yeah, no, that's, yeah.
111
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:56.870
Okay, which procedure do people regret most often and why? Liposuction, liposuction, liposuction, liposuction. I didn't realize liposuction is still being done. Oh, it's the number one procedure done in the U.S. Number one procedure in the U.S. Why? I can do it under local. Any asshole can do it. There's a thousand variations of it that they market as minimal, tickle me lipo, laser lipo, limited lipo, lipo with a cannula. It's so, and every human being is a candidate because every human being...
112
00:41:56.870 --> 00:42:19.769
Even you, I have just one area in my inner. I actually have nowhere on me that I want, like. So the average person has something, just a little. I'm happy. Just this little area. Oh, that's so funny. And it advertises right under getting Botox. Like it's nothing. And who does it? Every single low-lying provider.
113
00:42:21.001 --> 00:42:45.335
thinks they can do it. In other words, I do rhinoplasty. 90% of plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons don't do rhinoplasty. They don't want to deal with it. Just too complicated, too much headache for a little money. Liposuction, every asshole is doing it. Wow. Well, I'll tell you, the reason I said I don't have anywhere I want to do it is because when I had stem cells for my knee, they used my fat, right? Yeah.
114
00:42:46.060 --> 00:43:12.605
And they took it off my flanks. Yeah, flanks. Okay, so they take it off my flanks. I am bruised for a month. I am like, it looks weird. I'm like, and they just took a little bit. Yeah, imagine that. Like a little bit. Yeah, so as I told you in the previous episode, so I didn't even elaborate. Why? What's wrong with lipo? Number one, I promise you, I guarantee you, I assure you that after 12 to 18 months, you will have some loose skin. Unless you are super thick skinned,
115
00:43:12.605 --> 00:43:34.559
which most of us are not. If you are Caucasian or thin or dry or freckly, or you've had a few kids, forget about it. Secondly, in addition to the loose skin, you will have a divot, a dent, some kind of weird contour something. And third, 99% of the liposuction cannula sites are visible from 100 feet away, which defeated the population.
116
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:42.862
purpose. You know how many cannula sites I've revised? I saw a super, super famous person in my office the other day, put a whole bunch of surgeries before I met her.
117
00:43:44.009 --> 00:44:13.220
Arguably, a ton of them were shitty. And they did something to her butt. I don't know. And the liposuction cannula sites literally look like pot marks, like chicken pot marks. And I was like, oh my God. So I just think liposuction is way overdone and overused and too aggressive. That's the number one thing people regret. Yeah, I've seen it in clients and it just looks like they have cellulite now. Yep. And there's zero fixing it.
118
00:44:13.540 --> 00:44:32.879
Wow. You get a capsule contracture in your breast. I can take out the capsule, put a new implant in. I can't fix this. I can't like, oh, put the fat back. What fat? What do you mean? What are you talking about? No. The only way to do it is like, if you do it in your abdomen, I have to do a tummy tuck. If you do like, you understand what I mean? I got to remove now this issue. It's, it's, it's. What a mess. Most underrated procedure. Chinog.
119
00:44:33.605 --> 00:44:55.120
I love noses. And as a result, if you love noses, you got to love chins. It turns out that if you look at 100 supermodels, men and women, Asian, Black, Latina, Latino, whatever, all of them, all 100 will have a strong jaw. Not all of them will have the same nose. Not all of them will have the same eyes. Not all of them will have the same eyebrows because we're varied, right? Ethnic. Ethnic.
120
00:44:55.120 --> 00:45:24.128
no one will have a weak jaw or weak chin. Strong jaws in men and women is incredibly attractive. I think it's something to do with our teleologic, you know, it means it evokes a sense of strength and why we're attracted to it. But in 30 minutes, I can put a small chin implant. Instead of any kind of filler or mushy stuff, your jaw is going to become a thousand times better. I teach the course for this procedure, and it's like we say for the unit time,
121
00:45:24.702 --> 00:45:53.913
The transformation is like no other surgery. Wow, okay. Which procedure gives the best natural looking result when done well? All of them. Because it's just the truth. Like if I took a little bit of eyelid skin, you're like, oh wow, that looks so good. If I do a very subtle brow lift, oh wow, you look so fresh. I actually think all of them when done eloquently can lead to beautiful results. Botox done just a touch of it.
122
00:45:54.622 --> 00:46:20.913
So nice. So I just think all procedures have the potential to be beautiful. And all procedures, that's not true. Not all of them. Liposuction is very hard. Even if you're an amazing surgeon, the technique is flawed. Lip lifts, even then, lip lifts, cutting underneath the lip and lifting it. Very tricky. Sometimes no matter how good you are, you don't get a good result. But most of them can lead to good looking results. I love the way you literally talk like you're a chef.
123
00:46:23.663 --> 00:46:51.743
What's one thing every woman should know before booking a procedure? I mean, I'm a big, big, big, big believer that you're never going to educate yourself enough and that you must ultimately rely on the expertise of your surgeon. Look, I hire lawyers and I hire accountants, right? I consider myself a reasonably bright person. I've never once guided, advised...
124
00:46:52.216 --> 00:47:08.720
suggested maybe, but I've never really ever intervened in my lawyer's guidance of my case. I've seldom ever say anything to my accountant. Why? Not because I'm not smart, not because I don't have it. I could never know enough to tell you
125
00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:31.687
I am relying on my ability to select the right person and that person as a professional will guide me. It's not to suggest I never ask questions or I don't inquire. But what I'm trying to say is you can never educate yourself enough to know what you don't know to then ask so you're protected. Your only job is to make sure you found someone that you can trust.
126
00:47:32.243 --> 00:47:54.637
then you have to rely on them. So we've got to do our research. Final one. What's one procedure you would never have done on yourself? Me personally? My nose. Even though my nose is hardly anything to write home about, and even though rhinoplasty is a significant part of my practice, I think that it would change the way I look so much
127
00:47:55.970 --> 00:48:18.413
And because I'm such a critical person, I would be tortured for the rest of my life. And I actually use myself as the example during the consults because unlike facelifts that are somewhat flawed, breast dogs are flawed, ear pinning is flawed, but noses, there's a unique way in which we view them once we've done them where we're...
128
00:48:18.717 --> 00:48:32.420
highly critical, and we can't be uncritical. And because I have a microscope as a brain, I would be so tortured by every irregularity that I would see that I would probably just end up losing my mind.
129
00:48:32.673 --> 00:48:52.990
So I'm going to stick with this Middle Eastern shinoz. That smells really well. Yeah, I had a ladies, you know, you have all the haters, right? You're on social media and someone's like, I can't believe you're doing rhinoplasty and you haven't done your own nose. Who are you to be doing noses with that thing? You know what I mean? And I was just like...
130
00:48:53.260 --> 00:49:12.852
Wow. What an angry person. People are a trip, aren't they? Well, they need to find something to make themselves feel better. I was just like, would you say that to me in person? That's just a mean thing you just said to me, woman? Thank you for plowing on over here. Yeah, well, I appreciate it. You flew all the way over here. I super appreciate it. My staff said to do so. They said to. Ah, good stuff.
131
00:49:12.852 --> 00:49:34.992
smart staff. They say JJ is her show and she's fantastic. And I think at the end of the day, if you have a message, your message is meaningless if someone doesn't hear it, right? It's kind of the idea that if a tree falls and no one's there, did it make a noise, right? So I have made it a lifelong mission to do plastic surgery, to enjoy plastic surgery, but to sort of
132
00:49:35.752 --> 00:50:01.587
take the information and repurpose it in a way that can be digested and explain it so people have good outcomes as a result of my podcast, the Plastic Surgery Uncensored show. And so if I don't get on to megaphones and you have a megaphone, then it just dies with me. So anytime I have an opportunity to be on a show like yours and you are open-minded to have someone on, because a lot of people will reach out and like, oh no, we don't want to breach this subject. Because that
133
00:50:01.823 --> 00:50:11.932
They think it's taboo, right? And they think that, oh, if their listenership, like you're all about empowerment, and to them that plastic surgery is not empowerment,
134
00:50:12.100 --> 00:50:34.814
You see what I'm saying? You see the other side. So I'm grateful that you had me on and you allowed me to come and chat with you. Yeah, it was fantastic. And for everybody listening, we'll put all your handles and your podcast. I listened to a bunch of the different ones you did on other people's too. You're a riot. So jjvirgin.com forward slash Dr. Roddy. So D-R-R-A-D-Y. R-A-H-B-A-N.
135
00:50:34.814 --> 00:50:54.895
But we're just going to do Dr. Roddy so they don't have to spell your last name. Okay, as long as it links to my end. It's going to link to all that stuff because you've got a weird spelling name. Well, you know, these damn fucking foreigners. You know, it's like, I was like, Dr. How do I say his name? Yeah, yeah. For the record, it's Dr. Roddy Rabon. Come and check out our podcast, Plastic Surgery Uncensored.
136
00:50:54.895 --> 00:51:23.195
If you like this and this information, I have a lot of guests on and they're almost always my patients. One of the key elements is to not find a surgeon who necessarily will do well, but find a surgeon who you feel comfortable if things don't go well. Remember, surgery is wonderful in the 90, 95, 97% of times, but there are 3%, 1%, 2% where it doesn't go as planned. And the question is, what happens then? I'm not doing you any favors. It's my obligation.
137
00:51:23.195 --> 00:51:34.737
And I think that's the thing that people are maybe not fully grasping. That's what you want to look for is that feeling that this person will take care of. Well, I'm glad you're getting that out there. Yeah, it's very good. Thanks for having me. Thank you. It's been a pleasure.
