1 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: But it's really a natural extension of taking someone whose 2 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: leg was mingled in a car accident and making so 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: they can walk again. Taking a bone and plunging it 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: into a blove vessel on the leg, and taking a 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: leg muscle and turning it on top of it to 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: protect it and putting it all back together. That's where 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: plastic surgery was born. 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: Hey, today I'm talking with doctor Jacob Unger. He's a 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: board certified plastic surgeon and in town where we live, 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: in Nashville, a founder of the Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: I am very curious about all things plastic surgery. I'm 12 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: going to start this conversation off asking about Brazilian buttler 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: because I was told too. So big shout out to 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: doctor Hunger because he answered all my questions and he 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: knew some of them were pretty stupid. But we're going 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 2: to talk about everything. Mostly it's I'm just curious how 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: much stuff costs, what recovery's like, what procedures he does, 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: what he's best at like. It's just a course here 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: in plastics and a little bit in life. And if 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: you guys want to follow him on Instagram, it's at 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: doctor Jacob Hunger. We talk about why people go overseas 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: for certain surgeries. So here he is doctor Jacob Hunger. 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: All right, doctor Anger. 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: Good to have you here, great to be here. 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: Would you have me call you Jacob or doctor Unger. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: I feel like Jacob, when you introduce yourself to people, 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: what do you introduce yourself. 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: As like in the real world? 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: Real world to Jacob? Oh you do, man, I tell 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: you I'm a fake doctor. Yeah, because I got a 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 2: fake doctor. It's an honorary doctor. H And I almost 32 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: want people to call me doctor. So if I had 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: earned it like you have a it'd be all doctor 34 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: all the time. 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. I you know, I think I 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: find that the people who are doctors don't really need that. 37 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'm demanding it, because I'm really not. 38 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: I'm a fake doctor. Yeah. So I have a lot 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: of questions about what you do for a living. But 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: I was telling Amy, my co host I'm a radio show, 41 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: that you were coming in and I just want to 42 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: start with our questions so I don't forget it. She 43 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: specifically said to ask you about a BBL. So we're 44 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: going right to it, and we're going to talk about 45 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: other things too. But a BBL is a Brazilian butt left? 46 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 2: Is that correct? Is that a real thing? 47 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: Totally a real thing. It has like nothing to do 48 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: with brazil. What it really refers to is adding fat 49 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: fat crafting to the. 50 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: Butt And do people here do that? 51 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's not from Brazil and you don't it's 53 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 2: because Brazilian. It's because Brazilians are big. 54 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 55 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: Is that why it's to call that interesting. 56 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: Name of the game. Yeah. So you know, we can 57 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: take fat from different parts of the body and put 58 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: it in different places and get it to live in 59 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: that new spot. And so you can face breast, buttock 60 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: and you can take fat where you don't want it 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: and put it where you do. 62 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: Does it ever not take. 63 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. So you know it's important you go 64 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: to someone who does a lot of whatever you want done. 65 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: And even in the best of hands, not all of 66 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: it survives. You know, fat needs blood supply like all 67 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: of the rest of our body, and you're taking it 68 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: out of us blood supply and putting it into a 69 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: new area with blood supply, but the blood vessels to 70 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: actually grow into that fat and revitalize it and make 71 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: it alive. And so you know, if someone just squirts 72 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: a big ball in there, it's not gonna work because 73 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: the outside might get let's supply it, but those sales 74 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: will die way before they get any blood. 75 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: And if people come to you and say, I want 76 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: a Brazilian butt lift, is that something that you have done? 77 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, So you know, listen, my practice is 78 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: not very flashy, showy from a results standpoint. It's all 79 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: super kind of natural elegance, soft, And so when I 80 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: have patients that ask for that, it tends to be 81 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: like fit moms who have lost a little bit of volume, 82 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of muscle toe maybe over time, they're 83 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: working out a lot, they're getting kind of thinner post 84 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: kids a lot, and they want a little bit more shape, 85 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: and so we call it. They would call it a 86 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: skinny DBL or an athletic BBL, not like overdone proportions, 87 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: not super big and round, just kind of like filled 88 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: out a little more youthful. 89 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: I want you to know that I'm gonna ask some 90 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: dumb questions and I'm not being funny, like even asking 91 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: about Brazilian butt lifts. I didn't know if that was 92 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: like a superhero thing or if that was like something. Yeah, 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: it was just like something that the Kardashians it on TMZ, 94 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: like I didn't know, but that's really something. But is 95 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: there are there other parts of the body that people 96 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: want fat put on? 97 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: For sure? 98 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: Is it all Brazilian? Then? 99 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Is it like a Brazilian No. 100 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: Brazil only got the butt everyone, Okay, where else would 101 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: someone want fat? 102 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: So some of the main areas are the face, so 103 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, revolumizing the face. As we age, we lose 104 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: volume in our face and so you can put some 105 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: fat back in there. That's obviously very small volume unless 106 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: you want to look crazy and that that basically all 107 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: stays because there's a lot of bloets applied to the 108 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: face and you know, very little amounts of fat being added. 109 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: So that's a really common area. The other mower most 110 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: common area is the breast, so trying to revolumize the 111 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: breast with not with implants, but with fat. 112 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: Okay, that's different, Yeah, totally. So that's not a boob job, 113 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: I guess. 114 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: It would be. It is a type of one, but 115 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: like the classic boob job or you know. 116 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: Breast augmentation. Scientifically speaking, as we're both doctors here. 117 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we are both doctors, Yes, sir doctor. So it's 118 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, placing implants into the breast to create more volume, 119 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: and that is still the gold standard. If you want 120 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: to actually have larger and fuller breast, fat doesn't work 121 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: quite the same. 122 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 2: Do guys ever come in for Brazilian butt lifts? Is 123 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: that a guy thing at all? 124 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: Yes? Not in my practice. 125 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: Okay, but guys can do it. Yeah, sure, I guess you. 126 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: I mean, you could do anything, right, It's not sure 127 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: you've never done one on the dude here. 128 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: Actually, actually that's not true. There's there's a close friend 129 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: who's in the public eye who wanted a juicier butt, 130 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: and so we put a little bit of fat and 131 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: when we were sculpting from some other places instead of 132 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: throwing it out, can. 133 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: You can you take fat from some more from somebody 134 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: else's body? Oh, it has to be your own fast. 135 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: To be your own fatus. Id you like a transplant 136 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: with like random tissue that would not have a not 137 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: go well? Doctor? 138 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: You should know that what a most cold calls come 139 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 2: in for. 140 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: It's a great question. Uh, I don't really know. I 141 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: try to stay out of all the business side of everything. 142 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: From intake you know, costs, all that kind of stuff. 143 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: I just try to focus on doing surgery and kind 144 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: of doing my art. I think I think it's a 145 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, we don't. It's a lot of word of 146 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: mouth in my practice. 147 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: So but if someone comes to the front door and 148 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: they're asking about something, what's the surgery boobs? 149 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: So no one walks in the front door looking for 150 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: plastics or to that strange funny. 151 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 2: I literally thought, you a donut man, you'd be like, 152 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: I should stop by and see if they can do 153 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: so people don't really just come in to say what 154 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: do you got.

Yes, okay, I just don't I have 168 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: no idea listen. 169 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: I think it probably ranges from honestly from you know, 170 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: ten to one hundred thousand, depending on where you are 171 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: in the country. 172 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: You're world, Wow, one hundred thousand dollars. 173 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Not not in my office, but I mean, you know. 174 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,119 Speaker 2: I'm not even talking about you specifically, Like, yeah, for sure, 175 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: my butt better do the percolator without me doing any 176 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: of my other muscles at all, Like it just did naturally. 177 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it just bound. 178 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: Its like a button. I should push a button percolator. Yeah, 179 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: that's wild. What do you do the most of uh. 180 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: So I kind of do them two things facial rejuvenation, facelifts, 181 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: and and then mommy makeovers are mommy makeover quote unquote, 182 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: which is post mom surgery breast and tummy, and that's 183 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: I operate four days a week and it's basically just 184 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: those on rinse and repeat. 185 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: Are you considered a plast surgeon? Is that still the term? 186 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: Why is it called plastic? 187 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: So it comes from the Greek word plasticos, which means 188 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: to mold, So it's nothing to do with plastic. There 189 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: is no plastic and plastic surgery that's, you know, a misnomer. 190 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: But it's our job is to kind of sculpt and 191 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: create and return form and function. You know, plastic surgery 192 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: spans the gamut. All reconstructive surgeries are plastic surgery, hand surgery, 193 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: creaming a facial meaning fixing the facial skeleton, or cleft 194 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: lips and paletts. That's all plastic surgery. 195 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: I don't like that then, because I just assume plastic 196 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: means plastic. 197 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. 198 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: I think it gives you guys a bad look. Interesting 199 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: because I think, oh, they're a plastic surgeon. I go, 200 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: like a Barbie or Kindle, they're made of plastic. They're perfect, 201 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: So it's trying to make them perfect out of plastic. 202 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 2: It's unfair. Yeah, but that's why I ask, like, are 203 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: you a plastic surgeon? But that makes more sense, yes. 204 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: And funny enough, plastic surgeon is what you need to 205 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: look for. So there are other surgeons that call themselves, 206 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, cosmetic surgeon or aesthetic surgeon. They haven't done 207 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: residency in plastic surgery, which is a very long, very 208 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: competitive process. And so in America, if you're a doctor 209 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: such as yourself, you you're legally allowed to perform any 210 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: type of medicine that you know. Hospitals will give you 211 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: privilege for and the patients will see you for and 212 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: so because plastic surgery is, you know, not an insurance 213 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: or cosmetic surgery is not an insurance reimburse the thing. 214 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: It's a cash pay thing. A lot of doctors try 215 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: to set up a set up a practice and perform 216 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: it without training. 217 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: When you hear about people like behind waffle house or 218 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 2: doing their own apartment, how'd you hear about it? 219 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 220 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: But like that people like people die? Oh yeah, like 221 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: if they're like because I will hear the stories or 222 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: see the stories about people taking like fix a flat 223 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: and putting it into their butt or some does that 224 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: ever because we hear the bad stories? But does that 225 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: ever work successfully? 226 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Oh god, no, no, no, no, I mean listen, maybe short 227 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: term they stay alive, they make it out of the office, 228 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: and they have a problem down the line. 229 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: You know. 230 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: The problem with plastic surgery. Two things, Right, You're only 231 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: going to hear about all the crazy, terrible stories, and 232 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: you're only going to notice the bad work. Good work 233 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: is like how does that chick still look so good? 234 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: You know? And that's because well done plastic surgery shouldn't 235 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: change the way you look at you just make you 236 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: look and feel like the best version of yourself. 237 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: So what is your story as far as being a doctor. 238 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: What did you want to be when you grew up 239 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: a doctor? 240 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,239 Speaker 1: So you know, listen, I think your story is super inspiring. 241 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: My story is not the same, but not that dissimilar, right. 242 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: I grew up to cool hippie parents. They met in Dallas, Texas. 243 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: Where'd you live growing up? 244 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: I was born in Dallas and then I was there 245 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: until I was about eight, and then they wanted to 246 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: get out of Texas. My mom's from the beach in Jersey. 247 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: Her mom died young, so there was a house. We 248 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: moved to Jersey and I basically spent my formative years 249 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: like Jersey Shore kind of kid close to New York 250 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: and then move, you know, moved around ever since. 251 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: But they want doctors. 252 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm the first doctor in my family. 253 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, that's it's seemingly rare. A lot 254 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: of the folks that I know, they're lawyers. Doctors are lawyers, yeah, 255 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: somewhere in their family. Because I think to have a 256 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: profession like that, it has to be something that seems attainable. Yeah, 257 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: And I think with a lot of doctors or lawyers. 258 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: Like to me, it was almost like New York or LA. 259 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: It wasn't attainable. That that's fiction. That was fantasyland, like 260 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: I'll never go there. That's just where they make TVs 261 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: and movies. I didn't even know a doctor growing up, 262 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: definitely didn't know a lawyer. And so I think a 263 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: lot of doctors and lawyers they know it's attainable because 264 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: they see it. Which is crazy about your story if 265 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: you didn't have any doctors in your family and you 266 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: still want to be a doctor. 267 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean we had, you know, we did not have 268 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: a lot of resources, but there was a lot of 269 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: love and support. And when I was three years old, 270 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a neurosurgeon. And that was my 271 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: first Enrichmond project when I was in kindergarten, a map 272 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: with a brain. And but I have no idea where 273 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: I can. I mean, I don't know. Maybe I watched 274 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Doogie Houser Young or something like, you know, I mean, 275 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: I just I thought I wanted to use my brain. 276 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to help people. I you know, I know 277 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: that was my thing from a young age. But you 278 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: know what caused that spark, I don't know. And then 279 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: I pursued it. 280 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: Were you always the kid that wanted to be a doctor? 281 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? 282 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: So did you take your study seriously? Your whole schoolastic career. 283 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: Not as seriously as I should have. I've had some 284 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, some good wake up calls and some good 285 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: lessons along the way. You know, I was, I was 286 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: good at school and all that I was. Especially early 287 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: on in Texas. I got a lot of accolades because 288 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: I was in a you know, I was one of 289 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: the only English speaking kids in the district and so 290 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: like that alone set me up to look pretty good. 291 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: And you know, I would change grades for math. And 292 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: then I moved to New Jersey, which was not a 293 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: really great area either, and I skipped a grade and 294 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: so I had all this kind of academics behind me. 295 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: And then in high school I got a little lazy, 296 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: hung out with some older kids. I did well, but 297 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't, you know, number one of my class. And so, 298 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, you went to Arkansas. I went to Tulane, 299 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: which was awesome for undergrad wasn't really where I was 300 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: planning to go. I thought I'd go to UPenn or 301 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Harvard or something like that. Although of course no one 302 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: of my family has done anything like that, but I thought, well, 303 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: it'll work. Little did I know how challenging all that 304 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: stuff is. And when I got to college, I was 305 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: I had a little chip on my shoulder, and then 306 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: I kind of grinded starting then and ever since. And 307 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: so I was, you know, upper section of my class. 308 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: I had a three hundred of my random public high school. 309 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: And then I was, you know, validatorian in college. 310 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: Really, yeah, that's awesome. 311 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 312 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: So where'd you go to med school? 313 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: NYU? Okay, so now you're so that's a touch. So then, so, 314 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, then I went to Tulane and I this 315 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: is when my parents stopped giving me advice. I did 316 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: this special program that would allow me to get accepted 317 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: to medical school after two years of undergrad if I 318 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: had like straight a's basically and did a mate and 319 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: all of my pre med requirements were done in two 320 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: years with a major outside of science. I was a 321 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: philosophy major in college. And I did it, and I 322 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: got into Tulane, and I was really young. You know, 323 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: I went to college young because I you know, did 324 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff early. And my parents were like, I 325 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: was into medical school at eighteen. My parents, like Jacob 326 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: you're you're going to Tulane. This is amazing, You're in 327 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: med school. I was like, you know, I think I 328 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: might want to be a plastic surgeon. I think I 329 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: want to be in New York. Like you were not 330 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: paying for any of these MCAT courses because there are 331 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: these expensive classes to take the test. You know, I 332 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: didn't need the test to get in because I wasn't 333 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: even time to take it. They're like, you're going to 334 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: take this test and try to go somewhere else, Like, yeah, 335 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: I think I want to give it a whirl, and 336 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, see if I can get to New York. 337 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: So they wouldn't pay for the class. So I just 338 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: bought that study book, that Princeton Review thing, you know, 339 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: I just like read it cover to cover and took 340 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the test and I went well, and I was able 341 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: to get in NYU, which is you know, that was 342 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: a premier place that I wanted to be in because 343 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: that was kind of where plastic surgery started in America. 344 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: So why plastic surgery though, because you go to med 345 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: could be anything. Absolutely what pushed you that direction? 346 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: So I came in wanting to do that, but I 347 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: didn't know what it was actually and I got there. 348 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: I walked into the dean's office first day med schools 349 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: that I need research, because you know, research is a 350 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: big thing to set you apart as a medical student, 351 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: you have to publish. And so he set me up 352 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: with a group, and I knew plastic surgery was the 353 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: most competitive field s gets into my competitivest chip on 354 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: the shoulder. I wanted to do the hardest thing and 355 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was, but I knew it 356 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: was surgery. I knew I wanted to use my hands. 357 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: And what I learned through medical school was, you know, 358 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: I love medicine because you can think and figure out 359 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: solutions to problems, diagnose and treat right. A lot of 360 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: surgery is, you know, the diagnosis is given to you 361 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: perform the same thing over and over. And so I 362 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: didn't like that. And so plastic surgery is kind of 363 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: the surgeon surgeon, that's what it's kind of called in 364 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: the medical field, because we have to fix all the interesting, 365 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: complex problems from the form and function from a skin 366 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: and muscle and bone standpoint that surgeons need help with. 367 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh cool, I get to 368 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: solve problems and use my hands cool Field. 369 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as you talk about being a plastic surgeon, 370 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: I can film my relationship with what a plastic surgeon 371 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: does change in that I told you my relationship. We 372 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: just thought of it as plastic. I think of Canon Barbie, 373 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: let's just create the perfect person, like television has taught me. 374 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 2: But you're right, like so many doctors probably have to 375 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: send people to you that they have there's been an 376 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: illness and injury, and it's not you given somebody a BBL. 377 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: It's you trying to get someone back to as close 378 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: to normal as they can possibly be. 379 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: Right. That accurate, one hundred percent. And that's that's where 380 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: esthetic surgery or cosmatic or elective surgery comes from. It's 381 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of like the ultimate, you know, the pinnacle of 382 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: trying to create the best shape and form and function. Right. So, yes, 383 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: you might be making an improvement, but it's really a 384 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: natural extension of taking someone whose leg was mangled in 385 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: a car accident and making so they can walk again, 386 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: taking a taking a bone and plugging it into a 387 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: blood vessel on the leg, and taking a leg muscle 388 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: and turning it on top of it to protect it, 389 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: and putting it all back together. You know, that's that's 390 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: where plastic surgery was born. 391 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have an unfair association of plastic surgery with 392 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: only being esthetically pleasing and that's the pure purpose of it. 393 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 2: And I don't think that's fair. I don't think it's 394 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: fair for me to think that, And I haven't had 395 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: that realization until right now because again, you guys, meaning guys, 396 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: women doctors, you are doing so much more than just that. 397 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: But because I see on TV so much that just 398 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: the celebrity versions of it, the boobs and the butt 399 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: and the lips, that's all my association because you're in 400 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: you know, you're in that world, right, I mean, you're 401 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: gonna see, You're gonna be surrounded by celebrities and you know, 402 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: trying to trying so hard to look so good all 403 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: the time. So I mean I think that your idea 404 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: of it is probably the standard public, you know idea. 405 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: But we have a mutual friend that had breast cancer, 406 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: and you know, plastic surgeons address breast cancer. They from 407 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: a rebuilding and reconstruction standpoint, skin cancer on your face. 408 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: You know that dermatology, dermatologic surgeons and plastic surgeons fix 409 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: all those holes from skin cancer and so on and 410 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: so forth. 411 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, 412 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: and we're back on the Bobby Cast. 413 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: Whenever you finish surgery, do you know like I just 414 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 2: crushed that, or do you have to like wait till 415 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: it all heals? 416 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: You know, you got to keep some humility about you 417 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: or you're gonna it's not going to go well. So 418 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: I usually I'm I'm usually very pleased in the surgery. 419 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: I feel really good about it. But I'm never like, oh, 420 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: this is perfect seaing ever. You know, I always want 421 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: to be like, is this exactly what I wanted? I 422 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: want to you know, I'll write notes after every surgery. 423 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, right, breast was really complicated for 424 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: X number of reasons. I do a lot of revisionary 425 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: surgery from from with problems from around the world, and 426 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, this was really hard. It was 427 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: super tight here, and it looked pretty good, but you know, 428 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: you have to imagine how the patient will evolve, how 429 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: their skin will change, how the tissue will change with gravity, 430 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: with stretching. So you can't have it always exactly what 431 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: you want on the table because then it'll change post 432 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: operative you know, post up. 433 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 2: If I get my car washed, I know when it's done, 434 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: my car's washback, just look at it and be like 435 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: it's done. But when you finished on someone like they 436 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: have to heal still, So like the final final result 437 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: is not like you know, because you've done it so 438 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 2: many times, probably what's going to happen. You don't know 439 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: the final final result right till it totally heals up. Yeah, 440 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: I think that would be what would keep me humble. 441 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it does because you know what, I what 442 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 1: I always say, I can't control how you heal, right, 443 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, I mean with experience and you know, a 444 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: lot of reps, you can get a pretty good idea 445 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: of where things are going to end up, but you 446 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: don't really know. People can have bad scarring or good scarring, 447 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: or stretch your skin or tighter tissue, and so you 448 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: know you gotta this this this field will humble you 449 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: no matter how good you are. 450 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: So a lot of people say they have a deviated 451 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: septum and they just come into the get cosmetically fixed. 452 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: I think people sometimes want to have a reason to 453 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: have surgery besides just wanting an improvement in shape. 454 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: A deva symptom is a real thing though, Oh for sure, 455 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: Like I don't even know. I had a friend that 456 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 2: had a real deviated septum. Yeah, and after he had it, 457 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: because he before he went in, he would he would 458 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: close one and it's when he breathe. It was like 459 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: you always had a cold. Right. And again my association 460 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: with dba a'scepting with people lying just you got a 461 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: note job. And he had a real one and he 462 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: came out of it and his looked no different. But 463 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: he had that's called the septoplasty. I wouldn't have known that, yes, 464 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: but he had that done. And so I was like, oh, 465 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: that's a real thing, right. But then I hear and 466 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: I know of people who say that, but I actually 467 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: know that they went in because they just wanted it fixed, 468 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: or they wanted their nose changed a bit. 469 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: And honestly, I think, you know, people are so much 470 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: more upfront about plastic surgery now, they're embracing it as 471 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: opposed to hiding it. I think that that's less common. 472 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Hollywood has he kind of led the charge 473 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: on that. People are coming out and on social media 474 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: there's a new celebrity every day talking about what they 475 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: had done. Why they did it and why they did 476 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: it for themselves and you know, pulling out of the darkness. 477 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not something to be ashamed of. I'm 478 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: obviously biased, but we all want to you know, look 479 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: how we feel and feel like the best version of ourselves. 480 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: And you know, we exercise and we eat healthy, and 481 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: we study and we meditate and we do all these things. 482 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: And so having you know, kind of the physical shape 483 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: and form that matches how you feel, it feels like 484 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: to me a natural extension of how we're able to 485 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: evolve and with technology, you know, do things safely. 486 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: What do you think about red light? Because there's a 487 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: couple versions of other people that have little mask and 488 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: we have the bed the big deal, and so that 489 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: goes deeper. So do you subscribe? 490 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's real for sure. There is real studies 491 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: in peer reviewed journals that show that red light and 492 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: have an impact on a variety of different things in 493 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: the skin from a skin remodeling and you know, just 494 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: kind of revitalization. So it's a great, you know, low risk, 495 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: good return thing. Yeah. 496 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: I think my problem with it's been you can't really tell. Yeah, 497 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: and I've read some studies. I read a study that 498 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: NASA did with plants that blew my mind. And these 499 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: were basically, I'm going to dummy this up, but it's 500 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: basically a bunch of injured plants and they did red 501 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 2: light on them for an extent period of time and 502 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: they healed back so much faster than the plants that 503 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: were also injured that they did not use red light on. 504 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: And they did this over and over again. 505 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't repeatable. 506 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: Yes, and so like to me, that's enough for me 507 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 2: to go for it. But I don't ever get out 508 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: and I'm like, dang, I just got red lighted like crazy. 509 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 2: That feels great. 510 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: So so listen. Plastic surgery like I perform every day, 511 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: Obviously it's one way and then three hours later it's 512 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: another way. Like it's a big fast change, but it's 513 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: a big thing to do. It's you know, downtime, the 514 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: lower kind of insult to the body you're performing, the 515 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: slower the build right. Like skincare sunscreen, Let's talk about sunscreen. 516 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: We all know that we put on. Sunscreen helps prevent 517 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: skin cancer, also helps with wrinkles. That's because the sun 518 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: damages your skin, destroys the elastin in your skin. Reduces 519 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: the collagen. You don't put on sunscreen, be like, man, 520 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: my skin's also it's it's a it's a forty year 521 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: game you're playing, So keep doing the red light. You 522 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: look good. You'll you'll look better in ten years than 523 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: if you never did. 524 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: It forty of your games. That's a game. Sucks what 525 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: it kind of And I know vitamins work, but red 526 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: light to me kind of feels like vitamins because I 527 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 2: don't take vitamins and feel good. 528 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: You don't, you know, you don't need you First of all, 529 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: you don't really need to take vitamins because we live 530 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: in America and when everyone everyone's diet gets basically everything 531 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: you need in. 532 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: There, I don't know, sometimes vegetables for like a month. 533 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, forgot, I'm talking to you. Yeah, sometimes you 534 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: should probably take this, just. 535 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: Like supplements and certain things. But okay, go ahead. 536 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: So no, I was I was just saying, it's you 537 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: don't need red light to you know, feel good or 538 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: even look good. What it is small incremental gains, just 539 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: like you know, good skincare to just have that skin 540 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: constantly turning over, and it's st we think about saunas 541 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: we have one I love it. My wife used it 542 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: all the time. I think, I think they're good for you. 543 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: We have an infrared sauna, you know, which which is hot, 544 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: but it's the that energy goes into the body a 545 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: bit more listen to. I think it's the end all 546 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: be all of health and clearly not. I mean, if 547 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: that were the case, everyone in Skandinavia would live forever 548 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: and have no problems, and we would so in ninety 549 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: percent of people in like Sweden or they have they 550 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: have a sauna, like everyone has them. I think there's 551 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: a there's a lots of all these little things, you know, 552 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: cold plunging and and. 553 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 2: All of the we think about cold plunging. 554 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: Listen, I I like it. I do it, Yeah, I do. 555 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: Why do you because I've done it. I'm not a 556 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: hater of it, but I've done it. 557 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: I find it and you definitely get adrenaline rush, you 558 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: getting a dopamine hit from that, you know, which is cool. 559 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: I think it can you know, I don't do it 560 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: a lot. I'm pretty thin, so I get cold quickly. 561 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: I like the mental game of how long can I 562 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: take this? How calm can I be? You know, just 563 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: kind of work me on mental strength, fortitude. I tell 564 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: my kids, you know, never give up perseverance. I just 565 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: want them to learn grit and toughness and. 566 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so here's is about discipline. Yours is about pushing 567 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 2: yourself more than it is physically. 568 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: What it's doing to the body, Yeah, I would say, 569 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: I would say that's the bigger part for me. That's 570 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: that's what I certainly love about it. But I'll feel 571 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: good when I get out of it. 572 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: You know what I feel? 573 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: Cold? You don't feel it? Kind of floaty? Are you fork? Nah? 574 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 2: Long enough? Like whatever the time is it to look 575 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: on the internet? 576 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: Right? How long? 577 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 2: And it's like if you stay two minutes, you know, 578 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: you get a gold coin or something. 579 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: Whatever that is I do. 580 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: But then to me, there is that, oh I feel 581 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 2: kind of a weight feeling that I do like. But 582 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: it's the dread pre it's the drying off. Now I'm wet. 583 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: I don't like being wet. Just generally speaking, I don't 584 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: like get in the pool. 585 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: We got a pool. 586 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: I don't like it in the pool people are like 587 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: wet you ever so many pool know what. I don't 588 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 2: like being wet? Yeah, So like that's a part of 589 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: it too. There's just a lot of like weird elements, 590 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: but I subscribe to all. These things probably work a 591 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: little bit, but they only work with consistency. If you're 592 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: if it's like a sauna or red light or what like, 593 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: you have to be consistent in anything for it to 594 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 2: function well. 595 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: As most things in life, correct you, I'm not going 596 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: to learn guitar because I tried once to do guitar 597 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: hero So yeah, I think that's totally right. Again, this 598 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: is not a one and done kind of thing. This 599 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: is like a commitment. This is a lifestyle. Those are 600 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: These are lifestyle things. 601 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: So you know, if I went in and had sympat 602 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: taking all my stomach. 603 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew that's why I was. 604 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: Here, and I would do that. I would have asked 605 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: you to, like bring the pliers and the scissors and 606 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 2: let's get it done. The problem for me is not 607 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: any sort of stigma. It's the recovery. I don't recover. 608 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: I don't like being wet. I don't want to recover. Okay, 609 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: so I don't have time to recover. 610 00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: I know. 611 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: It's like I run so so hard and I'm on 612 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: red all the time that I don't have a couple 613 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: of weeks to be like, hey, I'm just gonna but 614 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: is it. Let's say I went in and I was like, hey, 615 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: I got a little fat. Here, help me out because 616 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: I'm in pretty good shape. And let's I did that. 617 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: How long would it be until I could like played 618 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: pickleball or run again? 619 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: So you know, listen, I know, I know that feeling. 620 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: That's kind of how I am set on go at 621 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: all times. You know, my mother's always you know, honey, 622 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: you're so tired. You know, just kind of the way 623 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: it is. So I totally hear what you're saying. Serger's 624 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: not that long. Liposuction is is a little bit of 625 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: a quicker recovery than other things. I mean, healing takes time, 626 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: but from a recovery standpoint, you can be back to 627 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: some exercise like one week. Might be sore, it might 628 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: hurt a little, you know, but again that's all appear. 629 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: You're not going to hurt anything because nothing's been kind 630 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: of cut and sewn. You can't tear anything apart. But 631 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, I give patients a pretty quick recovery timeframe, 632 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: the quickest that science will allow. Because most of my 633 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: patients are super active and have a lot going on. 634 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: No one really wants to be down. So by six 635 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: weeks from any surgery I'm doing, you can do anything. 636 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Could I rock climb? 637 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: Could I dunk? 638 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: You can definitely learn to dunk, just from like dunk before. 639 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: But if I can dunk after it, I thought as much. Yeah, yeah, 640 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: this will make you dumb. 641 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: Lipos suction so liblosuction in my mind, as you take 642 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: the dentist endows and you suck out the fat, is 643 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 2: that true. 644 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: In very few words? Yeah. So liposuction is done with canulests. 645 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: They're kind of like metal straws, okay, and they have 646 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: holes on them, and you have to put some fluid 647 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: into the fatty tissue of the body first kind of 648 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: let it set up, and then you go in back 649 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: and forth with multiple little access points to try to 650 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: create a smooth, even playing field essentially by removing fat 651 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: where you want to remove it. And so it really 652 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: is it's an art, you know, it's it's sculpting. I 653 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: mean there's some science, of course, there are science behind 654 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: the safety, there's science behind when to know when to stop, 655 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, but it's really just to your eye and 656 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: touch and experience what you need to remove and what 657 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: you need to leave behind. 658 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: Can fat come back in the spots that you've sucked 659 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: it out? 660 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: It's a great question. Once you remove fat cells, they're 661 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: gone forever. You can't get new fat sales. So after 662 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: you're about five years old, the fat seals you have 663 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: or the fat sez you have, as you gain weight, 664 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: those fat cells expand or contract. 665 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: Oh they're not more fat cells, no more fat sales. 666 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: The fat selters get fat. 667 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: That's it. Fat seales get fat, so they kind of swell. 668 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: If you look at it, they kind of look like 669 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: like chicken wire. That's what fat cells in the body 670 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: look like. And those fat those chicken wire holes get 671 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: bigger or smaller. So if you have a problem area 672 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: where you tend to gain all your weight and you 673 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: suction out fat from that area, fat will not go 674 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: there as preferentially. I mean, you'll still gain weight in 675 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: all the areas, but if you used to go to 676 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: your belly and now you gain ten pounds, you might 677 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: feel it more, you know, in your hips or thighs 678 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: more so than that area. 679 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: Do generally, guy get it like And there's because I 680 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: have a rout of my stomach here. I also have 681 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: a surgery where I have scar tissue where it kind 682 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: of grows back weird anyway, I might splein taken out. 683 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: So from my starnum down to you know, almost my 684 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 2: what you guys would call, I use clinical turns my 685 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: weener area. There's there's a scar. 686 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm really are reductory ex Yeah, so I. 687 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: Have a scar. And again because of that, my stomach 688 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: is a little weird. I know, belly button a little 689 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 2: weird anyway, But that's still where the fat goes on me. 690 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: Is that most dudes? 691 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? That so men tend to gain it in the 692 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: inn section. Women you know, tend to gain it more 693 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: and the hips, thighs kind of area as a general rule, 694 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: so you know, men that come in for liposuction. The 695 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: key to really everything I do is making you know 696 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: what I tell patients, I want the skin to match 697 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: the deeper tissue. So right now there's a little bit 698 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: more fat, there might be a little bit of extra skin. 699 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: If there's extra skin already, I won't do liposuction because 700 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: all it's going to do is remove fat and leave 701 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: more skin. So I tell everybody, you know, a bunch 702 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: of saggy skinniness isn't better than kind of a fuller, 703 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: slightly more plump thing. So a lot of things have 704 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: to be aligned for liposuction to be the solution. 705 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: Do you ever tell people no all the time? Tell 706 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: me about that. 707 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, if you find a surgeon 708 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: that only tells you yes, run because you know that 709 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: that's really saying no is more important than saying yes. 710 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: My job is to educate on the on the front end, 711 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: make sure that we're aligned, expectations are appropriate, and then 712 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: maybe you're a candidate to have a surgery. And a 713 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: lot of times people want things that aren't realistic, or 714 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: have unrealistic expectations, or want something that's not real and 715 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: so no is how I spend most of my consult days. 716 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 2: Is an unrealistic expectation If someone wants a whole lot 717 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 2: if fat taken out, like what would be an realized equitation? 718 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 2: So you know, like if you get your haircut, you 719 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: taking a picture and do this, does that happen? 720 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: Yes? So somebody A good example would be, you know 721 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: a breast patient. Let's say there's a fuller figured woman 722 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: that has low breasts, she's older, and she brings in 723 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: a picture of a swimsuit model. Well, she's not gonna 724 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: have those breasts, right Like, that's just not in the cars. 725 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: There's too much tissue, the chest is too wide. Things 726 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: have changed too much, you know. So people say this 727 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: is what I want, and that's an easy no. I don't. 728 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't see much of that disconnect. But you know, 729 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: people will also bring in a picture. They'll say, I 730 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: feel I'm so tired now I don't look as good 731 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: as I used to. This is me just a few 732 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: years ago. I want to look like this, And they'll 733 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: bring in, you know, maybe an ai kind of air 734 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: brushed picture. You're like, I can't make you a cartoon. 735 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. Right. So again, most of 736 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: my patients are incredibly lovely, very reasonable. You know, people 737 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: you want to be your friend. I mean, that's what 738 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: I look for. If I don't like you, if I 739 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: don't connect with you, then I'm not the right doctor 740 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: for you. 741 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: The Bobby cast will be right back. This is the 742 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 4: Bobby cast. 743 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 2: If I wanted to get peck implants, because my whole life, 744 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: I've been very insecure about my chest. Okay, when I 745 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 2: was thirteen, I had the chest of a thirteen year 746 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 2: old boy. When I was thirty, I had the chest 747 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 2: of a thirteen year old boy. It really never matured 748 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 2: past yeah, that thirteen year old boy, and I'm beyond 749 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,959 Speaker 2: that now. But if I did, is that something that's 750 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: done for guys that it makes them look like strong 751 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 2: at the gym. 752 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: I don't do that at all. I do no implants 753 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: in males. I do no implants in women other than 754 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: you know, breast implants. There are very small group of 755 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: surgeons that I know around the world that do that routinely, 756 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: so they have the experience to do it. Because it's 757 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: not a super high request surgery, so you better find 758 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: someone who does that's really specialized in kind of male 759 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: bodybuilding enhancing style surgery. But there's a lot of problems, 760 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: you know with that. I mean, the male peck is 761 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: obviously a big muscle, it's used a lot. The implants 762 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: for men are these kind of very rigid pieces of silicone, 763 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: and so I mean it's just something I've I've totally avoided. 764 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, no, I'm never I'm thirteen or forever, I'll 765 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: die thirteen years of my jest. Yeah, cats also not 766 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 2: common at all. None of these solid none of these 767 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 2: solid implants are common, especially in the United States. They're 768 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 2: more common in Asia, Middle East. They don't look very good. 769 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: I don't think, just you know why I don't do 770 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: them most of the time, so yeah, I would steer 771 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: clear of that. 772 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 2: Giving heard about those people that break bones and get taller, 773 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: like the sur where they and they put a rod in. 774 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy a Lizarov. Yeah, so what it's called, 775 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: And well, the Elizarev method was invented in Russia and 776 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: like I think the eighteen hundreds. I mean, you're testing 777 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: my memory here, but you know, that's a real thing 778 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: you can cut. So we actually that was one of 779 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: the big projects at NYU. It's called distraction osteogenesis, which 780 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: is big words, but it means taking a bone, pulling 781 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: it apart slowly and allowing new bone to fill in. 782 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: So it was first done in the legs, then it 783 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: was done in the jaw. We do it for babies 784 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: all the time that have certain cranio facial abnormalities, very 785 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: very small chin, no airway, They have to have a 786 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: trake when they're born. You can rebuild the jaw, stretch 787 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: it out so the tongue pulls forward and they can 788 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: get rid of a trake, live a normal life. Wow, 789 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: that's very common in a children's hospital. You go to 790 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt right now, there's a I'm sure I don't know, 791 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: but a number of children in the pediatric ICU they 792 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: get a quarter turn. The residents go by and do 793 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: a quarter turn, you know, twice a day or four 794 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: times a day, depending on where you are, to stretch 795 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: out that jaw. So that was the chairman at n YU. 796 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: Bringing it back to why I went there for med school. 797 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: He was this really famous creating and vacial surgeon. He 798 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: wrote the first paper on doing that in the jaw 799 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: as opposed to the leg and dogs, and you know, 800 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: that kind of set him up for a big career 801 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: and one of the reasons why I wanted to go there. 802 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: But it's it's a real thing. Yeah. One dude grew 803 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: like four inch. 804 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 2: He didn't grow. One dude put in like he grew. 805 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: I grew, I keep saying grew. He was four inch taller. 806 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: Once he was healed, he walked a little funny. 807 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 808 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 2: And then you're like, as it worked that you're walking 809 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: a little funny with you with your new rods. Then 810 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: you're so, I think that's wild. You know, it was 811 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 2: wild that show The Swan. You ever watched that? That 812 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 2: show was crazy? Telling me that show.

That was that was a little overstepping probably you 815 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean. 816 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 2: For those that don't know, let me explain to people 817 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 2: watching this and listening to this The Swan epic show 818 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 2: by the way, Yeah, but it shouldn't have been real. No, 819 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: they both can exist like epic show, but they shouldn't 820 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 2: have been In my opinion, it was somebody who went 821 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 2: in and they were like, uh, everything was like off, 822 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 2: and they were like fix me, and they did like 823 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: forty two surgeries on them and all a sudden they 824 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 2: walked out and they were like a Swan everything. 825 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a wild show. That was a wild 826 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: show at the nineties. 827 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 2: Probably are did you look at the Swan. 828 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 4: Really? 829 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? So kind of like that Nip Tuck era is 830 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: kind of early, you know that that nineties plastic surgery 831 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: was so kind of under the radar. You know, seventies 832 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: and eighties you look in Manhattan, socialites would get facelifts, 833 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: but like super hush hush and very very small small volume. 834 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: Has things got more refined and better and safer kind 835 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,479 Speaker 1: of started ramping up and things went a little wild 836 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: and like kind of the late nineties early two thousands.

But still though, it is crazy that like 846 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 2: what it was a wild rewarding surgeries for you as 847 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 2: a human being, Like, can you tell me about a 848 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 2: couple that you've done where you're just so proud of 849 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 2: your work because you've helped somebody's life. 850 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know it not to sound like overblown, 851 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: but it's like almost countless, Like I mean, you you know, 852 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: that's what's important for me to realize it. It's not 853 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: just fixing a hole from cancer that people are appreciative 854 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: of and life changing for you know, the more common 855 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: thing I see now, you know moms are the best example. 856 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: They have babies, they nurture their children, they raise their children. 857 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: It does a toll on the body, you know, without 858 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: a doubt, stretching out, the stomach, the muscles, the skin, 859 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: breast get deflated and change, you know. I no one 860 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: gets spared, right supermodels. I see supermodels, they get you know, 861 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: a lot of changes in their bodies too. And to 862 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: help a woman kind of restore herself and feel like 863 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: herself off again, there's a lot of happy tears and 864 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: there's a you know, it's a really it's a really 865 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: special thing to get to be a part of, you know, 866 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: that journey for people. And then on the reconstructive side, 867 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: as you can imagine, you take someone who's having you know, 868 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,479 Speaker 1: a burn victim that can't turn their neck, and you 869 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: do a surgery to rebuild the neck so that it's 870 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: flexible and pliable again. Or somebody cuts their thumb off 871 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: and you put it back on for. 872 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 2: Them, which that's happened. 873 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've done it countless times. In residency, I 874 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: don't do that, you know anymore. That's you need a 875 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: big academic center. So I trained in Dallas Parkland Hospital, 876 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: biggest public hospital in the country, and we had we 877 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: were on what's called replant call replanting fingers and arms 878 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: every single day for six years the plastic surgery department 879 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: at UT Southwestern. 880 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: So there are that many people losing fingers in arms. 881 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: Oh, it's NonStop. I mean they fly them all in. 882 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 2: You know, everyone's crazy. 883 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean it happens multiple times a day. 884 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: And so they come in and Okay, if happens, do 885 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 2: you put it on ice? Because that's what TV said, 886 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 2: they put it on ice. Like let's say I chopped 887 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: a finger off and I'm like, oh my god, there's 888 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 2: my finger. 889 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: Wrap it in a in a wet paper towel, put 890 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: it on ice. Go to a major academic center. But 891 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 1: does that mean the hospital I saw our major academic 892 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: hospital like a Vanderbilt. These services this is very very 893 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, you have like primary care, it's like your doctor. 894 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: Then you go on up. This is like what we 895 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 1: call quaternary or fourth level care. It takes a big 896 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: team of specialists, special microscopes, microsurgeons who do this all day. 897 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,879 Speaker 1: It's you're not going to find it at like every 898 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: random hospital in small towns, but they'll they'll ship you. 899 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 2: That reminds me we were both too young to have 900 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 2: been adults when this happened. But and I'm only partially 901 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 2: being funny because I'm curious about this, But remember when Lorraina. 902 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 2: Bobbitt cut off John Wayne Bobbitt's penis and threw it 903 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 2: in the field. 904 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: So I reattached two penises. 905 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 2: You have a kid and I again, hah whatever, But 906 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 2: I'm that serious stuff like how does that? How do 907 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 2: you get it to work again? It does it work? 908 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: Full ever? Again? 909 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,479 Speaker 1: So, I mean it's one of the I've presented this case. 910 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's not that common. There's only a couple 911 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: of the papers written about penis replants. The kid he 912 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: was young, you know, one of the ones. Anyway, he 913 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: was getting erections before he left the hospital. I mean 914 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: again medically speaking, and you know it was working that fast. 915 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: Oh you're in the hospital for a while. 916 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 2: Oh you are. You don't walk in a couple threads 917 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 2: and it's. 918 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: Like, oh no, it's a it's a couple of the 919 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of hospital. 920 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 2: How do you get it to work again? 921 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: Though? Because it feels like there's a lot of blood vessels. Yeah, 922 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,959 Speaker 1: all those tubes back together. So it's called microsurgery because 923 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: we use a microscope. Under the microscope we do tiny 924 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: little needles that you really can't see the sutures for 925 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: that is much thinner than a human hair, you know, 926 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: a couple of microns thick, and you sew them, you know, 927 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: interrupted the little stitches all the way around the circle, 928 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: but the two tubes reconnecting them all nerves, arteries, veins. 929 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 2: Any of the nerves or veins artificial. 930 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: Then not in that particular case. But you know, if 931 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: you lose a finger, sometimes there's nerves and your fingers. 932 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: Your fingers aren't too good without nerves. And so there 933 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: are what are called nerve graps. They're off the shelf, 934 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: meaning they are products that are in the hospital, and 935 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: you can take that little it's basically like a nerve 936 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: sheath without the DNA from a person, and you can 937 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: use that to plug in and then the nerves can 938 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: regrow through that tube. 939 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: This is going to be the stupidest question, please respect it. 940 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: Could you attach somebody else's penis onto my spot? 941 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: No? 942 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 2: You couldn't. 943 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: No, So listen again, that's a transplant, right. So the 944 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: body has an immune system. The immune system recognizes self 945 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 1: and non self. So some people have allergies. That's pallen. 946 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: Your body sees it as a problem, fights it. If 947 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: I plug someone else's DNA onto you, your body be like, 948 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: what are these cells? 949 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: What about an organ transplant? Though? What if someone had 950 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 2: a matching penis. 951 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: So you could wrote if you're identical twin had a 952 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: much bigger penis than you can take it from him 953 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: and put it on you identical two ends. It would work. 954 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: Really Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, So you know you have 955 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 1: to immune with suppress transplant patients because they have to. 956 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 2: Be really close. 957 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: So if you get a you know, you have a kidden, 958 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: you need a kidney transplant, you have to find a match, 959 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: like the donor has to match. You can't take any 960 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: old kidney. It has to be someone who's really similar 961 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: to you. Sometimes family members are matches they have. Again 962 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: this is not my area, but there's a variety of 963 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: factors that they look at to see what immuneo logic things, 964 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: what immune system things match up, and you need enough 965 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: of those to match to be a match to get 966 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: that kidney. Even with that, you're on serious medicine for 967 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: the rest of your life to dumb down your immune system. 968 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 1: So someone with a kidney transplant gets sick, it's a 969 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: big deal. They're in the hospital real quickly. They have 970 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,479 Speaker 1: got a lot of antibiotics because their immune system doesn't 971 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: work the same. 972 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 2: Why you've had to replace two penises. And that's not 973 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 2: even that's crazy that it could even work even a finger, Like, 974 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: it's crazy that you can get it to to function again. 975 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool. Yeah. 976 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 2: What what was the first human you ever cut into? 977 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 2: Were they alive? 978 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: I guess not, no speak, you know, the first humans 979 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: that we cut into is going to be in general anatomy. 980 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: You know, general anatomy like good advertype situation. Yeah, but 981 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: you're not learning surgical technique. You're just learning all the structures. 982 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: The first human I cut into. 983 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 2: Was are you nervous? Your first your first surgery? 984 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: For sure?

Ask if I could come in and 991 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: scrub in and then get to know you better and 992 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,240 Speaker 1: better and better and then let you do stuff. 993 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 2: I'm meaning to ask this in a positive way, but 994 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 2: were you a super nerd for it? 995 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 996 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 2: Like you wanted it. You were so nerdy for it, 997 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 2: Like you wanted to be there when it wasn't even 998 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 2: your time to be there. 999 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 1: I was there all the time. That's awesome, my time 1000 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 1: to be there. 1001 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 2: That's what I want my surgeon to be. I allan 1002 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 2: a pilot to be that too. I want my pilot 1003 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 2: to be outside the simular to being like can I 1004 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 2: get in? I know it's not my time, but that's 1005 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 2: what I want all my surgeons, my pilots, anything that 1006 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: because you have our life in your hands. 1007 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's you know now at this stage 1008 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: in my career, I'm actually trying to learn how to 1009 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 1: extricate how I see myself from just being a surgeon. 1010 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's been the focus of my life. You know, 1011 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm in my early forties. For the last twenty years, 1012 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: I've been like focused on basically that, right, and you know, 1013 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 1: you're not You're now you're a father, and you're a husband, 1014 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: and you have friends and You're not just a radio 1015 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, You're not a radio host, You're not just 1016 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: a You're not a personality alone. So much of my 1017 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: of my self worth has been wrapped up in what 1018 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 1: I do that you know, it ends up being a 1019 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,280 Speaker 1: little unhealthy. At some point. You have to remember that 1020 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: you're a person and you know, connect with my kids 1021 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: and wife and friends and find other interests because it's 1022 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: easy to just do nothing, but that forever you get 1023 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: zoned in, you get focused, and you get worried that 1024 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: if you're not doing more than you're not doing enough. 1025 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 2: And so, yeah, my entire identity has always been about 1026 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:26,240 Speaker 2: what I do, and I'm starting to, as you said, 1027 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 2: not have that be the sole focus. That's also hard 1028 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 2: to release that because of the goals that I've always had, 1029 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,919 Speaker 2: because a little bit of me starts to have real 1030 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: life come into play and it's not the sole focus. 1031 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 2: And I start to go, wait, am I if I 1032 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: slow down, if I start to lean into these other 1033 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 2: parts of my life that are valuable. But if I 1034 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 2: take the gas off of this you know, radio show, podcast, 1035 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 2: whatever I'm doing, like I'm going to lose it there. 1036 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 2: Like I struggle with that because I've always been such 1037 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 2: a nerd for all this. 1038 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel a lot of similarities with you. 1039 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: So what my executive coach would say is, you know 1040 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: what motivated me early on? You know, fear. I don't 1041 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: want to I didn't want to have nothing. I didn't 1042 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: want to be able to afford to send my kids 1043 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 1: to school. I wanted to achieve something. I wanted to 1044 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: accomplish something different. But you know that fear doesn't serve 1045 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: I'll speak for myself. It doesn't serve me anymore. I 1046 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: don't need to live my life upset when everything isn't perfect. 1047 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: And you know, this week, I should have done one 1048 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: more surgery because I could have and I had the time, 1049 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 1: and why wasn't it full? And why isn't Why did 1050 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: no one come in for that? And you know, I 1051 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: spend my I spend end up spending your life like 1052 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: kind of miserable or frustrated or upset. And I'm not 1053 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: going to you know, I'm not going to let my 1054 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,919 Speaker 1: foot off the gas. This is who I am. I'm 1055 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: going to strive for excellence. I don't need to do 1056 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: it in such a way that I'm just beating myself constant. 1057 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: You know, that served me. But it's time to, you know, 1058 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: move on with with the next next face. 1059 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: Did you find having kids change that? 1060 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: You know, my wife, she's gonna laugh and she hears this. 1061 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: So when when my first child was born, I was 1062 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: a resident. I was on my chairman's rotation, said, babe, 1063 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: I have big surgery with doctor Roorg. That's that was 1064 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 1: my chairman and one of my big mentors. Tomorrow, do 1065 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 1: not have this baby. Of course she had the baby. 1066 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 1: I had to skip work. Was I was, It was okay. 1067 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: I took three days off and then I went right 1068 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 1: back to the grind. I'm like, this is my training. 1069 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: I you know, you'll be fine. Your mom's coming to town. 1070 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: Cute baby high. You know. Second child, I was in 1071 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: early in practice. I took one day off. I went 1072 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,800 Speaker 1: in for the day of the baby and I said, 1073 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: you're good, right, you can go. I'll get you home tomorrow. 1074 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: But I went back, like I have patience there. You know, 1075 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: they they moved their life to have surgery. I can't cancel. 1076 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 1: Third child. We scheduled. I had it born on a Sunday, 1077 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 1: so I took no days off. I was pretty upset 1078 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 1: by this point. This is this is only six years ago, 1079 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 1: and I thought it was so cool. You know. I 1080 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: was like, I'm earning for my family, and I'm all 1081 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: my wife wanted was me to be around, and all 1082 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: my kids want is me, and so you know that 1083 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: was ramping up to the to the most extreme kind 1084 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: of overdone. And I used to think it was cool, 1085 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: just like I used to brag about not sleeping. You know, 1086 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: we were always trained like I haven't slept in three days, 1087 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm still up. You know. Someone eventually was like, you 1088 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,280 Speaker 1: know that's not cool, right dude. I'm like, oh, okay, 1089 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 1: So trying to trying to recognize what I'm really going 1090 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: to care about on my deathbed. And I really do 1091 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: care about my patients, and I want my family to 1092 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: be proud of me, and I want to be a 1093 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,879 Speaker 1: pillar of my community. And I you know, I love 1094 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: that whatever reputation I've been able to to create has 1095 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: been one of you know, trusting and loving and good 1096 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: BETSI manner, and that is all a big part of 1097 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: who I am. But I can't shirk everything else and 1098 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 1: just expect it to stay there and be there for me. 1099 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 3: So let's take a quick pause for a message from 1100 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 3: our sponsor. 1101 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 4: And we're back on the Bobby cast. 1102 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 2: I started to have mortality thoughts now, which I never 1103 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 2: really had. That's just the getting older part. 1104 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1105 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 2: And I was always the youngest, always the youngest at 1106 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 2: at a high level, right always, And now that's catching 1107 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: up too, And so you start to go, whatever, I 1108 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 2: want to die soon? Yeah, like maybe if I just 1109 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 2: die now, I'll be cool. Still I die cool? Hear 1110 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 2: anything about that? You know? Think about that? 1111 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm not cool, so I don't even worry 1112 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 1: about that. But you know, yes, like someday though, the 1113 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: public might not be as interested in you right like 1114 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,879 Speaker 1: down the line for whatever reason. And so that's not 1115 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: all that makes you. That's not all that makes you important. 1116 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,439 Speaker 1: That's not all that makes you, you know, a light 1117 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: in this world. So I think gaining some perspective, especially 1118 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 1: while you still have all the accolades and everything going 1119 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,719 Speaker 1: and you know, all the stuff you've done, Like you know, 1120 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 1: I've been here for eleven years now in Nashville, and 1121 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: obviously I've known about you because everyone knows about you 1122 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 1: for all this time. And I've seen I've watched you, 1123 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: know that growth your career, what you've done, how hard 1124 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: you've pushed how many things you do at the same time, 1125 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 1: and you know, I connect with that and I look 1126 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 1: up to that. You know, it's just you can get 1127 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 1: caught on that treadmill and kind of lose everything else. 1128 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, having a kid, and again we're so new in 1129 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 2: the kid state process. I don't know, it's the baby, 1130 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 2: it's a human I don't know, not a process. I 1131 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 2: feel like a science experiment time. I'm not gonna lie, 1132 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:51,880 Speaker 2: but yeah, it's like that stuff starts to set in 1133 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 2: a little bit where it's like, I really need to 1134 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 2: allow these other things to come in because if I don't, 1135 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,280 Speaker 2: they're going to come in anyway. And so I'm going 1136 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 2: through that a bit. It a couple other questions that 1137 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 2: popped it in my mind, and I hope I'm not 1138 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 2: speaking out of turn here. And maybe you've set out 1139 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,359 Speaker 2: before to Kristen before. Yeah, okay, so if I'm wrong, 1140 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 2: but I believe you to Christian Cavalari's breast augmentation, if 1141 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 2: it's a celebrity on the table, is that more pressure? 1142 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: You know, she's awesome, she's she's a sweet, dear friend 1143 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: as well, which is always you know, which is actually 1144 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: another layer of pressure, right, operating on your friends, which 1145 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 1: I've done a lot by this point. You know, it's 1146 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: it's it's obviously a little more into the microscope. You know, 1147 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: there's a little bit more stress, especially when you first 1148 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 1: start operating on people in the public eye. And I 1149 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: try to put that aside. I mean maybe leading up 1150 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: to it, but then, like, you know, I'm no athlete, 1151 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: but you know, being in the zone kind of thing. 1152 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to be in my flow state. 1153 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing.

I think that's 1159 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 1: when you mess things up when you try to, like, 1160 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, be extra cool or do something extra because 1161 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 1: you're worried about that person or patient. 1162 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 2: So it's got to be a weird relationship because let's 1163 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 2: say you do the breast augmentation on somebody and then 1164 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 2: you see them two years later, do. 1165 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,760 Speaker 5: They just go, look doc, They're still good Usually to everybody, honestly, 1166 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 5: I'm right after But if you just see them like 1167 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 5: years later that that's probably just. 1168 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 2: Normal to be like, how are they sure? 1169 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, listen, it's a private thing.
