00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:11.679
This OMG, you guys, we
are actually recording an episode of Test Talks,

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.279
remember that old podcast that we all
used to like hang around and listen

3
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.879
to, maybe with our friends.
It has been so long since I've recorded

4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.000
a podcast, and a lot has
happened since the last one. I've gotten

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.760
a TV gig. I am like
almost a year into that contract, so

6
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.039
it's just been so so long,
and I finally am going to have some

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.560
downtime to take some time for me
this coming up week. But I'm actually

8
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.119
doing something that I have wanted since
the beginning of this year. Well,

9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.840
actually for longer, but it was
at the beginning of this year where I

10
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.079
said, this is the year I
do it, and I'm gonna get it

11
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.200
done. So here to talk with
me about that procedure is who else?

12
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.359
Doctor Bartlett? Erica Bartlett. Yes, yes, she is someone who I've

13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.320
actually formed a really cool friendship with. Thanks for hanging out, absolutely,

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.640
girl. Okay, the fact that
we're sitting down to do a podcast makes

15
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.799
me very happy because we said we
should, and you said there'd be drinks,

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.879
so you brought your to you.
This is the best. I can't

17
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.239
believe. I'm so honored that you
open this for me in front of me.

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.560
Okay, yes, we have a
very special bottle here. It says

19
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.760
to the best doctor in this bitch, which is very appropriate. Well,

20
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.799
also in this room there's only three
people and only one of them is a

21
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.319
doctor. Yeah, okay, actual
and factual if we're if we're going to

22
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.680
stick to the facts, that's right. So doctor Bib, I told you

23
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.120
a while back that, Okay,
hey, I have these like huge boobs

24
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.480
that I got when I was so
young. Actually had two three different surgeries

25
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.719
because of complications I've had with breast
implants. And I know that's one of

26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.439
your many specialties. But when I
got the TV gig is when I actually

27
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.879
like started looking at myself. I
guess more every day I'm like, dang,

28
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.840
my boobs are taking up a lot
of the space in my life.

29
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.800
And I mean they're like distractingly big
in a lot of these camera shots.

30
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:10.800
So I'm like, I think they
make me look bigger now. And I'm

31
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.240
just to this point where the Pamela
Anderson era is out, which is when

32
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.039
I decided that it would be okay
to even get an implant this large and

33
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.439
the natural look I feel like is
in and I want to do a boob

34
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:24.599
swap. I want to do a
boob swap. And I said, what

35
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.759
did you what do you think?
And then we kind of had this conversation

36
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.879
starting with the consultation. I've always
supported you in getting the swap for the

37
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.560
implants that are smaller. I think
you're beautiful, whether you have big boobs,

38
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.439
small boobs, no boobs. You're
a wonderful person from the inside and

39
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.199
out. But yes, I did
notice that you have fuller breasts. And

40
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.199
so we have very similar stories,
right, We've both got implants when we

41
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.800
were very young, right eighteen and
nineteen. We're pretty naive, very naive,

42
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.759
and so I mean, it's interesting
to hear your story because it is

43
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.960
very similar to mine. And we
both had male plastic surgeons, and we

44
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.199
want didn't know what implants we had
in our body, what size we had

45
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.520
in our body. And fortunately for
me, I didn't have any issues,

46
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.000
but you had some that popped up, right, absolutely so within a year

47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.879
of getting breast in plants, which
I got to tell you, when you're

48
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.000
young and you were flat chested your
whole life, you'll do any you wake

49
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.639
up and you're well, you think
you're and I and I kind of talked

50
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.479
about this earlier with some of my
news friends. It's like you kind of

51
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.159
think like I will be so much
better when I do this. I just

52
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.280
need this, and that that already
form, like that train of thought.

53
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.719
That thinking was so incorrect, like
you're a bad as, we're bad asses,

54
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.360
Like no matter what, right with
tits or not. However, if

55
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.800
there was that option, it was
like, oh my gosh, I want

56
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.120
I wanted boobs. I'm like,
what would that actually be? Like who

57
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.520
paid for your tins? I actually
got a when I turned eighteen. I

58
00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:00.680
got a little bit of funds from
this trust from my from my Bible dad.

59
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.879
And my mom goes, do you
want a car? She's like,

60
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.240
do you want to like get a
car? And I was like, no,

61
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.439
I want boobs. And she was
like come on, she was like,

62
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.039
be sensible, be reasonable, And
I was like, it's my money.

63
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.400
I'm eighteen, I'm grown up.
And now I know your mom.

64
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.639
I totally see her saying. So
so I went and I got it and

65
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.319
let me tell you you wake up
and it's like, oh my gosh,

66
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.560
I'm going to run the world.
Look at my boobs, Look at I

67
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.439
have I have a chest now amazing, and you think that's it. Well

68
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.199
for me. Within a year of
getting that first implant, I was playing

69
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.439
volleyball, texting M Corpus. I
remember I was in the field house and

70
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.040
we were like having this hardcore volleyball
competitive match, which is what I do.

71
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.720
I love to play sports. I
was hitting the floor, diving for

72
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.240
stuff, and I go back to
my dorm room and I remember getting ready

73
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.439
for my shower. I took off
my sports ball and I felt like a

74
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.839
woosh of water and I said,
OMG, I think like I think,

75
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.959
yeah, you had a rupture.
Yeah, a rupture. That's so it's

76
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.920
unusual that it happened that soon.
While one year is pretty quick, but

77
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.399
you were able to get another implant
back quickly, right right. So I

78
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.000
drove to San Antonio, which is
where I got the first one done,

79
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.399
and I wish I could remember the
doctor's name right now. It was a

80
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.040
male doctor and he was just cranking
these things out. He was just I

81
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.279
mean, everyone was getting implants at
that time. And so I went.

82
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.879
I told him, I said,
I'm on my way. I literally drove

83
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.959
with my biggie, small situation going
over there, and they I went with

84
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.519
a friend because I needed someone to
like watch me and drive me. But

85
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.680
that very next day I was already
back and so it was and I and

86
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.439
think about this, I'm nineteen.
They really just did a really quick like

87
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.800
a refill basically, and then I
was on my way, and of course

88
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.000
I needed to take it easy for
the next couple of weeks. But I

89
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.319
was so young. I felt like, okay, boom ballion bucks. But

90
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.120
were you happy? I mean I
was, I was, you know,

91
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.959
I was satisfied. I was like, okay, cool, I have boobs

92
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.439
like this is this is awesome.
And they were little, you know,

93
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.759
maybe little chickluks. Yeah, maybe
like a three fifty implant, maybe a

94
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.480
little bigger than this. But but
then about I want to say, I

95
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.879
want to say about four or five
years later, fast forward, I had

96
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.720
left school. I went to play
lingerie football in LA I had had this

97
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.000
whole like life right like that I
created for myself. And I'd met this

98
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.079
guy while I was in Australia playing
Launderie football, who was Australian and I

99
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.879
was like, oh my god,
that's the love of my life. Okay,

100
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.519
this is like it, you know, young Naive. I come back

101
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.639
to the States we're talking. We're
talking. He's like, you need to

102
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.399
come over here and like watch me. He was a basketball player at the

103
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.240
time, and so I was like, Okay, let me go over there

104
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.839
and we'll like start our love story, you know together. And so initially

105
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.560
you have to get a three month
visa because it's just a visiting visa.

106
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.399
So I go over there, and
literally the second day I get there,

107
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.959
I'm planning to stay there for three
months and to see if like this whole

108
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:55.279
thing with him, if it's like
real with us. Yeah, I ruptured.

109
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.199
I was doing CrossFit and I was
doing updowns, and I remember doing

110
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.199
updowns and slamming, you know,
boom another boo for the same thing.

111
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.439
I went. I went to the
restroom and I was like, oh no,

112
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.199
it's like happening again. It was
a nightmare. I didn't have travel

113
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.920
insurance. I told him. I
mean, he's like, doesn't know what

114
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.319
to do. And so I just
found a local plastic surgeon there. And

115
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.600
I will say, out of the
kindness of that man's heart, he was

116
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.199
a he was a doctor from the
United States. His receptionist Sasha, it

117
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.480
was like Bunderberg, Bunderberg plastic surgery
shout out. He said, I'll do

118
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.439
it. He's like, but you
kind of like let me, You kind

119
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.399
of like have to let me decide, like what the boobs are. And

120
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.480
he says, you have a big
chest plate. I think you can handle

121
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:41.519
like a bigger implant and boom.
These Australian puppies in also a different time.

122
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.879
It was a different time, and
it was no and it was like

123
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.000
bigger is better, Okay, sure, sure, why not? I know

124
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.879
you you're from Texas. Everything's bigger. And I would tease my hair to

125
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.800
the moon for you. Absolutely,
And for a while, you know,

126
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.759
I was really really happy with him. I mean I was skinny. I

127
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.360
was like, what do you mean
you worse? That's what I'm saying,

128
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.720
Like I don't feel like now,
I feel like I'm pretty tiny now,

129
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.120
especially after all the help you've given
me. But I shout out, but

130
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.680
I like, they're absurdly big,
right, And it was like the style

131
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.720
and it was fine, And you
know know, I bartended and I worked,

132
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.959
and I have this big personality.
People that meet me they think my

133
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.480
boobs are real. They're like,
oh my gosh, we just assumed like

134
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.680
big personality, big boobs, It
all matches you know, and now I'm

135
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.079
like, oh my god, my
back hurts, My back hurts, my

136
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.959
neck hurts. You also had it
done in a different time, in a

137
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.720
different country, and things have changed. I mean, like in the last

138
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.679
few years, we've seen big shift
right from that bigger is better mentality to

139
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.960
like a more natural fitting result.
Right, people are swapping out their bigger

140
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.320
implants for smaller, more appropriate size
implants for their bodies. Something they could

141
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.000
dress up when they want to go
out and put their boobs together, or

142
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.720
something they could put on a sports
braw and CrossFit with, you know,

143
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.759
like something that's durable. Yeah for
me in aerfect world, and I'm not

144
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.039
kidding, in a perfect world,
I could take these out and then just

145
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.960
like be okay, there's nothing foreign
in my body. But I'm like,

146
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.960
no, this vain part of me
that's like on TV. I'm like,

147
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.679
no, give me, give me
something that looks natural, that looks good.

148
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.120
Like you said that, I have
the option to feel sexy when I

149
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.639
want and then like you know,
but still be able to have a more

150
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.279
athletic build, which is what I
think I have naturally anyway, Like who's

151
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.000
to say now, but also too, i mean based on our discussions,

152
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.200
like the implants that they were using
and are still using in Australia are different

153
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.480
than what we're using in the United
States. Right, So you pulled my

154
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.519
implant card. What did you learn
about my implants? Yeah? So what

155
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.960
I learned is that you have seven
hundred cc silicon implants with a textured shell.

156
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.679
Okay, And so what's different about
textured implants versus what we're using now

157
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.720
of the smooth is that these are
associated with slightly higher risks of a certain

158
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.399
type of breast cancer called A Now
is this we're talking like very rare,

159
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:09.799
like one out of twenty to fifty
thousand people. However, in my practice

160
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.960
in my patients, I don't want
the risk, so I don't use textured

161
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.279
implants. So you told me that
you want me to pick what's the right

162
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.399
style and size and shape and texture
for you. I said, no textured

163
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.320
implant, right, And that's what
I would do for myself and my family

164
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.759
members as well. I think you
know, in two thousand twenty four,

165
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.720
we have hundreds of different styles of
implants. Now, so in my practice

166
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.360
and for you, what I'm going
to fit for you is actually something that's

167
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.399
probably very close to this. Wow, Okay, so this is four No,

168
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.240
this is three twenty. Yeah,
so we're talking like three to fifty

169
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.399
range. You something that's wider but
not so projecting that it's going to look

170
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.320
like a torpedo. Like your boobs
are coming into the door before you enter

171
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.320
in like a feedbot. Yeah.
So that you've got options, right,

172
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.120
Like it's a natural shape, Yeah, them up, you can dress them

173
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.519
down, You've got options. Of
course, esthetically I want them to look

174
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.559
amazing. But like some of the
relief I feel like I'm going to have

175
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:13.639
from taking from carrying around seven hundred
ccs on each one. I just I

176
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.679
hindsight twenty twenty with this. I'm
not kidding. Yeah, but you know,

177
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.200
when you're young, you're naive and
you don't know what you don't know.

178
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.320
And that's why I mean it helps
to have a plastic surgeon that you

179
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.480
can relate to, that you can
trust, that's going to give you honest

180
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.879
feedback. So like if you come
to me and say, like I want

181
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.840
to be just six fifty, I'm
going to tell you that's not gonna fit

182
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.240
your body. Yeah, right,
Like that's maybe I'm not the right surgeon

183
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.440
for you. Love, I've always
told people you know about your honesty that

184
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.080
I appreciate, and you are just
so candid and you're I mean the fact

185
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.519
that you're a woman. You understand, you get it because I have them

186
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.960
too, and I have any plans
too, and any situation, any situation,

187
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.080
you're not only thinking about that,
but you're thinking about like you know

188
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.320
how busy my days are. You
know what I have to do, And

189
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.559
you're like, Okay, you have
to get this amount of protein. You

190
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.960
have to you're gonna be able to
sit there, but no exercise, Like

191
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.279
it's no, you have to do
the work. And I'm going to counsel

192
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.240
you on that because if I don't
prepare you, then you're not going to

193
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.159
have the best result, right,
right, So, I mean we talked

194
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.440
before about like medications that people are
on, right, Like I have a

195
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.279
lot of patients that are using ozmpic
or semi green tide like glue tide,

196
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.360
louse weight which I have been on, which I have been great. It's

197
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.440
a great medicine, right, It's
helping people totally you know, lose the

198
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:41.120
weight, lower their risk factors blood
pressure, diabetes, cholesterol. I mean,

199
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.080
this is a great medicine. However, it definitely plays into effect when

200
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.960
you're preparing for surgery, Like you, so I have to be off of

201
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.480
that for at least two weeks.
Two weeks. So I've been off.

202
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.159
I've taken the month off and I'm
like, my appetite is back with a

203
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.639
vengeance, yes, And I'm like, how how could they can I get

204
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.639
back on this my clue tide?
So it depends on the surgery that you

205
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.559
have. So for this surgery,
which is I would say like a smaller

206
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.639
surgery, two weeks, right,
but for a bigger surgery like a three

207
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.200
sixty LiPo or tummy tech, you're
looking at four to six weeks. Because

208
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.720
I need you to eat protein afterwards, right, and so like I need

209
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.240
you to feel hunger. You have
to feed your body, right if you

210
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.840
want it to repair, if you
want it to heal. I want you

211
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.320
to have any problems. Yeah,
we want to get you back on track

212
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.919
back on TV. Yes, you
know which I love? Which which I

213
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.799
love? And this is something that's
truly like we have so many amazing guests.

214
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.480
Sometimes I feel like my boobs are
the elephant in the room, Like

215
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.399
especially if I'm wearing like a white
shirt and I'm trying, and I've got

216
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.759
nipple covers on, like I'm trying
to like hide these bad boys, like

217
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.320
I'm never trying to have them like
and that's the other thing. I feel

218
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.639
like my postures stuffer because I'm always
like trying to go inward here because I

219
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.840
don't want it's not about right.
It's because it's like not the boob show.

220
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.639
It's like there's a show where people
are doing great things to the community

221
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.159
and like please, like I don't
like it's just cofable. So that is

222
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.919
about seven hundred secs. That's heavy. This is it's about seven hundred secs.

223
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.559
Imagine like two of those on your
on your chest. It's pulling your

224
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.840
shoulders down and so it's not insignificant. A bigger implant is heavier and rare

225
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.080
weight on your shoulder girdle. It
is what it is. Yeah, And

226
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.360
like I said, I think you're
beautiful the way you are, but aesthetically,

227
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.360
I think you could show your shape
absolutely a lot better if you had

228
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.360
small arrest. It takes away from
like your great figure, the curvature they're

229
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.879
going to help me achieve. Yeah, you have a great figure, which

230
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.559
we've talked about. I don't know, I just try to be honest with

231
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.440
people when they go, oh my
god, you have a tiny little waist

232
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.519
and I go, oh, I've
had LiPo. Yeah, oh I've had

233
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.600
like yeah, like raised your hand
of you oh yeah, And they're like

234
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.080
and they're like, oh my gosh, she looks so young. I'm like,

235
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.080
yeah, I like religiously do botox, and like, I just feel

236
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.360
like it takes a village. Like
I've worked with your medspa before, I've

237
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.200
worked with your plastic surgery team,
and these are decisions I'm making now as

238
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.000
a woman, and I feel like
they're just so much more informed. And

239
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.720
I know you personally just care so
much about your patients, being like you've

240
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.960

a walking billboard, Like you're a walking

241
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.759
billboard for my work, Like it's
an art. Your plastic surgery is a

242
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.840
form of art that you've studied really
hard at top of her class. By

Let it sink in. I mean,

270
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.120
my goal is really to be your
guide, right, Like I'm not telling

271
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.759
you what surgery to have, what
implant to pick, like, I'm going

272
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.160
to help guide you to like arrange
of implants that will give you a good,

273
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.039
safe result with longevity. Right.
The last thing you want is to

274
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.359
put a big implant in your body. And you've actually been quite fortunate that

275
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.519
you haven't had any issues. But
you put an implant that's too big for

276
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.960
your frame, you get stretching of
your soft tissue, get thinning of your

277
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.240
breast tissue, you get bottoming out. It's called malpositions. So the implant

278
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.799
falls into your like tummy or when
you lay down the implants fall into your

279
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.000
armpit. It's not a good look, right, and so the bigger implants

280
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.640
put you at higher risk for those
problems. Now you just happen to have

281
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.960
really great tissue. You don't have
any of those issues. Actually, it's

282
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:48.079
more just about shape and size roles
for you. So I am being completely

283
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.359
honest, you know, I am
a little bit nervous. I think everyone

284
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.319
you know, maybe before they're having
a procedure done, it's like, okay,

285
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:59.519
you're going under anesesia, Like it's
a little daunting. But your plan

286
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.319
so we get in there for like
the boobs is just to really I mean,

287
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.119
I already have a scar here.
You're gonna reopen that and pull these

288
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.039
out and then really figure out what
looks good. And you're gonna have a

289
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:15.480
couple of options and really figure out
what you think, like is most aesthetically

290
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.119
pleasing. So I'll tell you exactly
what we're gonna do. Okay, Okay,

291
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.559
First I'm gonna mark you. Okay. Then I'm gonna have a go

292
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:32.279
go have a morning cocktail. Stop
stop. Afterwards, getting I'm gonna go

293
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.960
through your old incision, which is
about four centimeters, so I shouldn't have

294
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.759
to elongate that at all, I'm
going to pop your old implant out.

295
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.240
And the thing about these textured implants, they the body grows into them quite

296
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.920
well. And the reason that they
actually invented textured implants is for your body

297
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.240
to use them as almost like a
bell crow, and so it doesn't move,

298
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.319
which is probably why you don't have
malposition. It's good. Unfortunately,

299
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.599
I just put your higher risk for
those issues that we talk about, so

300
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.200
you know, it will probably be
a little bit adherent, but it'll come

301
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.759
out. I mean, if my
tissue will be all over it though,

302
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.200
I'll save it for you. If
you can auction at all, let's do

303
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.720
it anything for the kids. Then
we're gonna look at the pocket, make

304
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.920
sure it looks okay. I'm sure
it's gonna look just great. Right.

305
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.279
If there's anything I'm concerned about,
obviously we're gonna take care of it.

306
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.519
Right then. You know, the
biggest risk you would have with someone with

307
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.960
textured implants is you would see something
concerning for like breast cancer, right,

308
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.039
that's the case, Like you would
obviously abort the case and we would send

309
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.720
the tissue for analysis. The chance
of that happening is so low, right,

310
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.720
But I'm prepared for like an extreme
situation to handle that for you.

311
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.279
Okay, it's not gonna happen.
Okay, we're gonna look at the pocket.

312
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.880
We're gonna tighten it. Okay,
Okay, the pocket's gonna be bigger

313
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:55.119
because the implant that you have is
wide and very projecting, but the implant

314
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.200
that we're gonna put in is more
narrow and less projecting. Right, So

315
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:03.799
instead of having like a bag around
your implant, we want it to be

316
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.960
like a hand in glove. How
do you tighten a pocket? Okay?

317
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.839
So you do that with a laser
like burn it. Oh wow. So

318
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.839
I actually use an electrocottery and I
just cause tiny little burns. I call

319
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.920
it popcorn capsuluor fi okay, popcorn
because it sounds like popcorn popping. Okay,

320
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.559
and it actually shrinks the pocket really
nicely. It's very interesting. Probably

321
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.480
what I'll do is when I take
off the implants, I'll do a popcorn

322
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.039
on one side, put an implant
in and not the other, so then

323
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.880
you can see the difference. Okay, this implant will sit up and then

324
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.200
we'll fall to the sign on the
other side. Wow, I know wow.

325
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.599
And then once we get the pocket
tightened. I'll put a sizer in

326
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.240
which is not a non permanent implant
that is the same size, so we

327
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.599
can we can use it in surgery
to size the pocket. We'll sit you

328
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.920
up and we'll look and we see
is this the right implant for you.

329
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.960
I usually bring a size above and
a size below for you. I'm probably

330
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.279
bringing like five sizes because I also
what's going on in that pocket. But

331
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.279
we'll find the right size for you. And I know your goals. We've

332
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.240
talked about goals. I have your
pictures there in front of me, so

333
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.279
I'm looking at that. I'm looking
at your asymmetry. I'll probably release a

334
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:17.119
little bit of your muscle so I
can help. What's interesting about these implance

335
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.079
You kind of told me during the
consultation. You were like, do you

336
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.359
notice how this one's not like completely
round? And it was just something I

337
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.799
had kind of dealt with, Like
it's just I mean, I was just

338
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.960
happy to have them both in and
inflated and like whatever. But yeah,

339
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.000
there was like a little bit of
dysymmetry going on, which I think every

340
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.559
woman has naturally one one bigger,
one smaller whatever. But like if you're

341
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.640
gonna go under, like you do
want them to be symmetrical and round and

342
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.400
nice, right, and so I
think, so don't forget to do that.

343
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.920
Please, thank you. Just because
you're so fit, your muscle is

344
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.799
so strong, it's just not letting
it round out. But I don't know.

345
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.799
I mean when you do revision surgery, it's almost like discovery model,

346
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.400
That's what I'm saying. And you're
like, I mean, where does that

347
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.759
confidence come from that you can just
go in and be like, oh,

348
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.640
I'll just do this cause you kind
of have to problem solve. Yeah.

349
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.160
Yeah, and it's like it's not
one of these problems that's like, okay,

350
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.519
we have time. Let it marinate, like someone is right there and

351
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.200
it's tick tick girl. You crazy
girl. I like you. I like

352
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.440
you, but you are crazy.
I'll definitely have my ladies in the morning,

353
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.359
please please, Yeah, give me
the cocktail, no mimosas fin just

354
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.160
letile afterwards, no big deal.
But yeah, once you find the right

355
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.079
size, we'll pop it in close
the incision. Then it'll be done,

356
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.160
okay, and then you know,
you'll have some restrictions for probably about two

357
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.480
weeks and then I'll watch you.
I'll watch you free, okay, okay,

358
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.640
I'm gonna listen. I'm gonna be
a good little girl. Yeah,

359
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.160
I want you to think, like
last I wasn't eating enough protein last time,

360
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.559
and doctor Bartlett had to drain my
belly and it was gross how much

361
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.839
fluid. It was like a bucket
of fluid. And my sister rated on

362
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.799
me. My sister narked on me. She was like, have you been

363
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.279
eating your enough protein? I was
like yeah. My sister was like in

364
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.960
the background, shaking your head,
and I was like, you're such a

365
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.519
liar. That was just when you
were like starting our friendship too. I

366
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.440
was like, but I didn't really
think I didn't realize the importance of protein

367
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.640
in that. I mean, your
protein is important for everyone. But like

368
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:17.319
when you're trying to heal, I'm
just gonna like stalk my fridge full of

369
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.319
those Premiere proteins and yeah call because
remember, I mean, you need the

370
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.559
building blocks to heal. So normally
you need like one gram per kilogram of

371
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.839
your body weight just to like live, right, So like that's probably like,

372
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.640
let's just say seventy kilograms seventy grams
of protein daily, which honestly I

373
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.200
probably don't get. But when you're
healing, from surgery, you need about

374
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.799
fifty percent more. Right, So
we're talking like one hundred grams. I

375
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:41.000
don't know if you know. I'm
not good at math, like carry the

376
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.279
one whatever, like shoot for a
hundred, and it's tough. It's just

377
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.240
hard to get that with just food
alone, right, Like you need some

378
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.920
sort of supplement like the Premiere protein
shakes whatever. Yeah. But as you

379
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.759
could tell before, right, like
once you got your protein in check,

380
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.039
yeah, everything clean to healings,
scrolling went away. I mean the fluid

381
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.720
went down and you felt better.
Yeah, And so it's going to be

382
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.599
no different. So how long the
downtime for this surgery. I am going

383
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.839
back to work on Monday. We're
having the surgery on Wednesday, but I'm

384
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.119
going to sleep. I'm not gonna
leave that bed. No, I want

385
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:19.319
you to get up, I want
you to walk around. I don't care.

386
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.799
I should be acting like a sick
person, like I want you to

387
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.680
move, okay, but I just
don't want you to overdo it. And

388
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.640
so for the first two weeks,
I just want you to be thinking like

389
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.319
t rex arms, ok so elbows
below the shoulder, and that just prevents

390
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.599
a bunch of movement or fluid from
building up after two weeks, I'll advance

391
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.759
you even let you get back to
exercising. Thank you. You know that's

392
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.240
my fair. Yes, so I
think this recovery will be a lot easier

393
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.759
for you compared to the last one. Also because you're kind of a pro

394
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.519
now, know, like I know, you know what to expect, I

395
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.680
know how to surgery, and we've
had the podcasts prepare for the surgery.

396
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.240
Okay, Okay, I feel like
this was a good prep for me.

397
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.920
This was like a good like sit
down, you're actually doing this. My

398
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.839
life goes So I was actually going
to have her sign her consent by today,

399
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.680
like I have them in my bag. This is how busy I am,

400
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.039
Like, yes, okay, let
me have my final consultation with my

401
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.440
doctor. But can we please make
a podcast out of it? Thank you?

402
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.519
Okay? Is there anything else that
we should know talk about, brag

403
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.720
about? You know? I think
I think we got it. I'm looking

404
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:27.000
forward to your surgery. I feel
like since we're going under anyway, maybe

405
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.759
we do a little you know,
like I don't know, I don't know,

406
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.119
maybe a little light bover we'll say, yes, Well, I want

407
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.160
I just I want to look my
best and now that I'm a grown ass

408
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.759
woman who can make these decisions and
have a female doctor consult me, I

409
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:45.559
just feel like i'm you know,
I'm ahead of the curve here. Now,

410
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.759
I want you to look good,
feel good, right, But if

411
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.400
you walk around looking like crazy person, doesn't look good for you, it

412
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.839
doesn't look good for me. Yeah, so we want to all be on

413
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.359
the same page here. Okay,
well, thank you for coming. You

414
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.599
are the best doctor in this bitch
like certifiable and yeah, okay, this

415
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.559
is that. I hope you like
this test talk listen. I don't have

416
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.640
a ton of time to do them, but if I see that there's enough

417
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.319
views and enough traction on this,
then obviously we'll make time to do it

418
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.400
more. And I just realized.
We have this room at my apartment.

419
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.759
This is very nice. This is
a nice skyline lounge. We have a

420
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.160
great view. The lighting is great
for us. So we should cheer.

421
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:23.440
Yeah, we should do it again. My last sip, Oh my god,

422
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.839
we're too comfortable. We're too comfortable
with each other. Thank you,

423
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:30.240
cheers, Salude
