Just B Rant: Drastic Surgery

Now there are specialists. So there's a guy that years ago did a lit I did did a boob lift. I always had bigger boobs even growing up, and they were just they just were like hanging early because they were just big and gravity means they're gonna hang. Um. So I years ago got a lift from a man named Dr Baker. He was expensive. It was very expensive, like people could be getting them for six thousand, five thousand, eight thousand, and I guess there's some sort of formula,

and it's for plastic surgery. Like facelifts, it's five It can be up to five times cheaper in Florida, which isn't even a cheap place, but New York is the most expensive. Okay, l A is probably a very close second. But I think New York is the most expensive, and I think everybody really goes to New York, so um, and the prices are going to astound you. So the boobs were like fourteen thousand back then, but I know people could get them for three five, six eight. That

was like the best. And you're not really trying to funk around with things like this, so uh, you know, it is what it is. Um. So that was a boob guy. Now it doesn't mean he's not a plastic surgeon, doesn't do lightbo suction and other things. I guess that was a boob guy. There's a housewife who's um was on Miami and I guess they're getting a divorce. The Hackstein and that guy he has he just sold like he has like a fifty million dollar house on Star and in Miami. He's a boom guy in Miami. So

he's just booming it up. He's booming it all day long. There was a guy years ago, Dr Diamond, and you could tell his nose jobs. He was the nose guy. The first guy was like the guy that everyone says like he's gotten really popular. He's done many housewives and he's churning and burning. Okay, And I went to this person and this person was um, you know, hip and cool and UM came in for me. Many of these people came in on that day for me, was their day off or that not the day they're doing surgery,

but very nice and complimentary and um. Many of them told me, you just chronologically looking at your face, your face looks forty eight years old, and that between forty eight and fifty two fifty three is when the optimal time is if you want to do some sort of version of a lift. Now, I've had friends who have done their eyes. They get that they have that droopy eye syndrome. It could be hooded eyes or just their eyes are drooping, or they have extra skin they're sagging.

I don't have that issue. That's one problem. Another problem my friends have had is that neck like a turkey neck. Okay, I don't. I have a little bit of that. I mean, I am of a certain age, but I don't. That's not like a problem for me. It's not the thing that's bothering me. Where these two women or these several women have had One woman I know had an eye issue, another woman a drew by I issue. Another woman is saggy skin, eye issue. One friend the turkey neck, another

the jowls bothered her. This is gravity. Your skin is falling on your face. So while you may say to somebody they don't need something, or you hear about all these people getting something done, in many cases the argument is that these are things to do. They are locking the door before you get robbed. You don't have to agree with any of this. You could think it's ridiculous. I'm just going to talk you through it. The forty

eight fifty three is about you are getting older. Your skin will fall, You'll lose elasticity and collagen and actually fat in your face, and you will get that sort of hollow it's right near your dimples, like it's a hollow in your face because everything's coming down. That's why the gel's form, because the skin is coming down. That's why the turkey neck happens, because the skin is coming down. And presumably if you start with that eye problem, that

skin is coming down also. So those are popular things, and um some people go in they really want a big change, like they tell the doctor. Some people want nobody to notice anything. It's just like you've got a good night's sleep. Some people want to look ten years younger. Other people want to look ten times better, but not younger, because many people look good, but they look done. They look like they've had something, and that, to me is

not good. But some people really want that as the as the plastic surgeons told me, l a look the Beverly Hills, Look, the Upper east Side. Look. It's a look. You know the look. You've seen it. It's shiny, it's plastic. It can be jokery. Here's another thing. If you decide you're going to do it, do it right. Do not cheap out on this. If you can't afford to do it, it's better to not do it. Okay, don't cheap out

on something important. Do a lot of research. My friend found somebody for twenty thousand dollars, including the overnight stay, to do a facelift. Other people have paid a hundred and fifty dollars in New York and got the exact same result. It doesn't mean that expensive is better because the most expensive person I saw I found to be not the best, and I have reasons why. So that's one thing. This is just not something to go on a money saving expedition for and you have to think

about what your goals are. One person, because my only thing that really bothers me about my face is the line going under my nose across when you smile. There's a big line. And one person said, if I do a liplift that sounded fine liplift grade, that it would be gone. Another person said that it would be partially gone if they did a liplift, but they wouldn't do a liplift on me because you will look very different. And I know a friend who did a up lift

and it kind of lips. You lifts your lip off and then you're going to see more of your teeth, if that's something that you care about. But like like everything else, your lip is drooping too, it's falling. So the third person said that they that they would not even do a liplift and that a lip lift wouldn't even do anything for that line, that there's nothing that can be done for that line. So one person said

that line would go away with a liplift. The second person said it would only go away partially and that they wouldn't do it because you look very different. The third doctor said, nothing will ever take away that line. So, and guess what, I believed every person, every single thing they said. This is why it's complicated, and you have to do your research, and you have to really look up reviews and talk to other people because this is frightening.

You're sucking around with your face. Okay, so one person said to me, and it was almost three it was like three hundred thousand dollars to do what they wanted you to do. Okay, you needed a lip lift, you needed something up top by your eyes, you needed something at the bottom, all of these things when you weren't even sure you needed anything. Second of all, it makes sense that you're supposed to take care of yourself and

locked the door before you get robbed. What was also indicated to me by many people is that earlier is better. Someone very famous in this industry said to me, everyone has done something. You are late, not pressuring me, just saying they're all lying and you're not even at the beginning of this. Because I thought, oh, I'm not sixty five, so I'm at the beginning of this. I am not at the beginning of this. Forty eight to fifty two is the optimal time to do something, because when you

get into your sixties, it will last less time. I've heard this from many people. So if you do something between forty eight and fifty two on the average, or with a face that looks forty eight fifty two on the average, it should last like fifteen years, and some people say that they could last forever. I had an excellent lift that I overpaid for and I have had it for fifteen years and I and everything looks great.

I wouldn't change a thing. So if you get it done in your sixties, this is also a general's but more often than not, it will only last seven years because you've come in a little bit late into the process. And there's also a lot more to do. There's a lot more to cut. So these are things to think about if you don't you know, just to think about, if you want to think about it, if you want to be educated. I went one time last year or two years ago just to get educated, to hear what

they had to say, and didn't do anything. I'm not against this. I'm not saying I'm doing something, but I wanted to hear so the first person gave me the full fledged liplift. I think the droopiness that the next thing, all of it, I was going to come out perfect. I'm sure I was going to be a living doll, but no one would notice. L O L. That's a person that one of my very famous friends said, Hell, no,

funked up my friend's face. That's a person that I saw someone's work and didn't like and was a little nervous. But then have another friend that went to them that looks amazing. So that's a situation where it's either that my friend who went to them and looks amaze sing dodged a bullet um the other person wanted all that crazy look. I don't know, but here's another thing that I heard from these doctors. If they are doing work on some bad work you've had before, they can only

work with what they've already what's coming in there. That's scary. Now you've gone for the cheapo job and now you get Now it's like anything else. You buy something shitty and then you go in and you end up spending the money to get the real thing. You eat something you didn't really want to eat because you were trying to like not eat the real, good quality thing or eat the thing you really wanted. Then you've eatn the shitty thing and then you go back and eat the real,

good quality thing. So the point is, if you're going to do something, fucking do it right and research, because what you don't want is to go into a doctor. They've got to clean up an old mess, and no matter how good they are, it's gonna look like shit. So that's scary. Okay. So the first guy was a little bit more of a hot shot, does a lot of this and seemed more like, let's do it all. The second guy, which was what very recommended to me as the air mes of these guys, was actually, you know,

took me into a very private space. It seemed very professional in private, even from within the office, and um, I had to wait like ten minutes. Paul came with me and really really just seemed like they knew the most of anybody. I can't even explain. There was a calmness to them. And it wasn't just that they said, I don't want it to look like you've had anything done, because everybody's gonna say the same thing. They want natural,

They're all gonna say the same thing. This person, though, thought it was a terrible idea for me to get a liplift for that line, said that it's going to be you will look very different. And you are on TV, you're forward facing. You know, remember when Jennifer Gray got her nose done the girl from Dirty Dancing and it was like drastic, or you've seen Nicole Kiman or Meg Ryan and just that all this work was drastic and

you don't even know what was done. And to me more and all these people, um, some of the Kardashians, Like he said, you've you got a lip lift to fix that line, which is the only thing bothering you. It could look very different. You know, this is not supposed to be done, so you're supposed to look perfect. Maybe it's just a little bit of like preventative sagging.

So um, he just seemed very mature, not in an old way where he just seemed like he knew what he was doing and there was a confidence to him. And they're speaking your language, they understand your needs. Then I met another person that I thought was lovely sweet.

It seemed like almost a junior version of this other very professional person, likely less expensive because the second person was was literally a third of the price of the hot shot person who wanted me to do the whole menu was a third of the price, still a fortune a fortune, but the third person, I believe is arguably is less expensive and seemed like a very very fine option,

could be excellent, would do great work. There were a lot of people around the office, and I didn't feel the privacy that I would desire, Meaning if I were to do something like this, I don't want to be part of a coffee clutch. I know in any office, people are gonna talk, and they're gonna know them coming in there, and it's not going to be a secret

because I'm telling you about it. But I don't want to feel like I'm walking into like a group, you know, water cooler conversation with a bunch of people that work in office. So Paul noted that he's like I. It seemed a little more juvenile. It seemed like we're it was a little more collegiate, and he didn't like that aspect of it. We want sort of the down the hall into the private office, come through the back tour experience.

That's what he wanted for me, even though we know everybody's gonna know, and I'm gonna tell everybody, but on my own fucking terms. I just felt a little uncomfortable, but was perfectly good. And then again my friend and I haven't seen her in a while since she had it done, so I'll have to comment later. But she got it done for about a fifth of the price of these quotes, and she looks good. The point is, it's very confusing. The one thing, and I will tell

you this. One of the people the last time I went to look two years ago, said did you ever have filler? And I had had it one time uptown UM. I had had filler because I had gotten my job botox to reduce it, which takes is a gradual process. It's not just in one day. But then my I had that hollow thing I was telling you about, and so my dermatologists said that I should put some filler in UM. And I did find no problem. It was very light, it didn't matter. I don't remember noticing it.

Who cares. I think I bruised. But they the plastic surgeon had seen that I had had once said filler. He said, it's firm. I guess it never goes away or it stays there. That's scary, but I guess it just stays there or forever. I don't know. You can't see it. I don't have it in It was like a long time ago. It's gone down, but I guess two years ago he had seen it. What they all say is botox is no problem. You could do botox. So the cows come home. That filler is not good.

I don't know why they said. They said the strings, there's like a Merrionette thing. I know, Sonya was public about doing it, like they put a bunch of strings in your face to pull it up. They all said that was bullshit. They said all therapy they said that was bullshit. They said that the filler, which is a lot of that Hollywood you see, that looks like, you know, shiny like round high chipmunk cheekbones, which also can be

a lift. But that look that like jokery look, and that like glossy like high cheekbone look, which I have. None of This um is all from all that filler ship and that string ship and that old therapy ship. And they all said that ship is bad. Don't do that ship. So while everybody had a different opinion about everything and what you should do and what you shouldn't do,

and how much it costs and whatever. Every one person wants you to go to an oxygen tank and a hyperbaric champ chamber and stay in a hotel next door and do appeal. And everybody's a different program, believe me. And they're still all making money and they're probably making million a year, so don't worry. Um. But everybody said that the filler ship is bad, that you're chasing youth. The filler is because you just want to chase youth and not do this plastic surgery stuff. So that's another

level of bad. And you know, I'd rather just age gracefully and do nothing then look like a fucking filled clown. So it seems to be that botox if you choose to do it, well, you know, which I will do like once or twice a year if I remember, is good and also preventative, and that all that other ship that doctors are trying to sell you is not going to get you where you need to get because your skin is still going to fault, and that it's going to look fake and that it's bullshit. So that was

my plastic surgery tour. Um. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I believe that at some point I will do something. I don't know what and I don't know how, but I do I agree that I look like forty eight years old in my actual features and face. Um, people always are telling you, you know, oh god, she's getting old. She got older. Yeah, I'm getting older. There is a clock right now. I think it's I think I'm older than when we started this podcast, to be honest, so I am aging. I just wanted

to do to know that. I went on a fact finding mission. And if you do want to do something thing, you should probably do it between forty and fifty three because it's all coming down. So if you do know and you don't have to do anything, and people look totally beautiful and um, like my fiance's mother is old, you know, older, and she looks gorgeous and she's never had anything done. There are certain people that haven't had anything done look amazing. Because you're allowed to have a face,

you're allowed to age, you're allowed to have wrinkles. I'm just saying, if there's something that bothers you, and mine is that line over my lip, and I can't even control that anyway, So whatever that means to you. Filler in the lip is to have a bigger lip. That's a little different than filler in the face. I guess if you want a bigger lip, then that's your own choice. Um, And the lip lift will show more of your teeth

and be a lip lift. I mean, if you you're allowed to also want, like we put makeup on and we put a hot pink, you know, nails on, you're allowed to want a little bit of a worked look. That woman, Hakstein, who is married to the plastic surgeon, has had everything done and you can see it. But like that, you know, she looks worked, but it looks pretty,

and maybe she looks older because she's had work. My assistant says, when she sees someone that looks like they've obviously had plastic surgery, they just automatically look older to her because they've had something done. And I know women in their sixties who look amazing. Their skin looks like a porcelain doll, but they still look older because they look like they've had something done. So Lisa Hackstein is a great example of someone who's probably been open about

her work. I think she looks like a doll, but like other people think that looks worked. Some people like Erica Jayne looks like a doll. Different people look like a doll. But I kind of don't mind that look. It just doesn't look good on me. Other people, like the Kim Zulziac type people or these glamoramas, they look like a doll. But like that's a look and you are allowed to have, like a big, bulbous vpl. I think it's called b b L or something. Ass and

curves and long extensions and nails and a thing. It's just that it's going to look like a look, and that's something you have to want. Some girls can pull off that doll look and look amazing, so that lip lift is gonna get I would look and I don't think it's who I am as a person walking around in pajamas and show you my black circles and my do my own hair. My own fiance gets his hair cut by one person who'll only go to I'm like I said to him last night, you're fucking going to

a specialized hairdresser. I literally do my own hair color. But in my house, I'll let anyone cut my hair, so I don't seem like the one who needs to look like a perfect doll. It just would seem a little off brand, not just publicly inside my own body. So you can fucking do it up Lisa Renist style if you want. That's your own big you know, Collagen lip look. And you know she's got the cheeks and the whole thing, and there's a look there that's totally fine.

It's a very Housewives look. The Beverly Hills look has become the Housewives look and there's nothing wrong with that. It just looks done. And me being in that pool adjacent makes me notice it more too, where I'm like, wait a second, I'm the only one who wasn't done anything. I haven't done. I know they've all done plastic surgery and I haven't done it. Um, So it's about your goals. What do you want? And yeah, you that filler look, that Collagen look, you want that look look, go for

the look. So just know what you want before you go in there.
