Hey guys, the following podcast is a Lady Gang Network and Podcast One production, which means it's going to be awesome. Well, what is this? Welcome to the Lady Gang. That's amazing. Say that again. The Lady Gang. Things are about to change around here.

Each week we catch up with Hollywood's hottest girl posse, Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Lady Gang. I'm Becca Tobin here with Jack Fanning and Kelty Knight. Oh, what was that? Did you just have an orgasm? You guys. Wait, I actually need to talk about something.

What? So when Dr. Diamond, you obviously saw on the iTunes. Dr. Diamond's coming. Dr. Diamond. Dr. Jason Diamond is here. Dr. Jason Diamond. But before we get started, we need to talk about Jack and I's experience visiting Kelty right after she came out of under anesthesia.

Yes. Came out from under anesthesia? How do you say that? Was coming out from anesthesia. I don't know. Who knows? Whatever. As the anesthesia was growing up.

Was waking up from search. So we walk in there, and she's loopy as loopy. Loopy. And she's looking at us, and she's like, do I look beautiful yet? Her eyes are kind of crossed. Gigi Hadid. Glazed over. Yeah, she's crazy.

And then Dr. Diamond walks in, who is a very handsome man, and he comes to check on her, and she just kept grabbing his face and his arm. And she's like, how hot is Dr. Diamond? How handsome is Dr. Diamond? And he's just, like, taking her hand, like, putting it down gently. He's like, you're doing great. Just rest. You know, just rest. She completely sexually harassed him.

Yeah, you definitely sexually harassed him. A hundred percent. And we talk about it when he comes to talk to us later in this episode.

We just didn't know. It was like deep on the dark web of China. Right. I saw a muffler panty, and it has extra padding in it, and then there's like a little cloud, which I think means it masks the fart.

Then, on top of that, I found a male muffler. Like with a penis? It's the male underwear, and it scents your balls. But here's the thing. It scents your balls. Oh, it makes your balls smell good? Yep. i feel like like having a scent like a perfume on the ball hasn't gotta not be good for the ball

That's amazing. My mom is also a ringer in games.

It's kind of terrifying. Maybe all moms are like that. Okay. I have a by proxy bad week turned into a good week. And this happened a few months ago and I just realized that I never talked about it. But one of our lady gangers on our Facebook group was talking about a really bad experience that she had. She went to Target.

This guy was parked next to her. He was exposing himself like his dick was out really inappropriate and jealous. She, he was like looking at her really creepy. She went into target. She came back and there was semen like all over her car. So he jacked off on her car. Disgusting. She tried, or she went to go report it.

They found who the guy was through whatever. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the same guy that was, oh, and then he followed her to a Starbucks. So he's like following her around, which is like super creepy. She must be gorgeous. I don't know. But so she's like, well, do I, she's like, do I turn him in? She's like posted about Facebook.

she's like i'm really like like this is weird she's like i'm really traumatized from it this guy was following me around after like exposing himself yeah anyways she ended up reporting it and then after she reported it all these other girls reported him and he got arrested so good for you good for reporting him yeah because those are the kind of people that end up escalating and doing bad things so i just wanted to give her props because i thought it was great that is you won't be able to tell that story on the first degree later because you saved it oh she did save it well it is scary though because those are the type of guys that end up like the peeping toms and then they start groping people and then they start like yeah yeah gets

bad but i thought it good for you girl because a lot of times it's like hard to report shit like that so i i like that okay i'm into it i mean i would think you have to report it when someone's jizz is on your window it's gross it's so you can't let that go exposing i could see people being like what am i going to do the cops are going to be like i'm dealing with a drug bus down the street i can't um put that penis away yeah whipping is but yeah but the cum on the car you gotta do it's gross and following her around yeah good for you girl i'm sorry that happened to you i'm sorry that's really brutal yeah um okay so my good week bad week is also all in one the good part of my week is that i felt a uti coming on on a sunday last weekend and i was like mother

of course it's Sunday. Of course I, and I'm not going to an urgent care, like kill me. I could be waiting seven hours. So I like do some Googling and I find there's like an on-demand doctor. Oh God. All you have to do is go on the website and take a picture of yourself with your photo ID, like side by side to prove it's you. You fill out your symptoms and within 20 minutes, They've called in a prescription for your UTI. I literally used this this morning. It's what's a call. Amazing.

Well, it's an, I used an app called plush care. No, mine was different. And you talk to a doctor, you can make an appointment. Like I woke up this morning. I was like, I definitely have a UTI. And I have like an hour later was on the Skype with the doctor and she was like, Hey, and I was like, it's me again. It's amazing.

And they already called in the prescription. I didn't have to go to the urgent care. Oh, I love that. Here's where it turned into a bad week. Oh God. i was so confident like i was like i don't need to see a doctor to have them tell me how to use medication you know what i mean like it's not my first rodeo or was it okay yeah um so i pick up the prescription and i remember on the chat him saying something along the lines of five days

take it for five days you'll be good i'm like great so i pick up my prescription i throw away the pamphlet that it comes with i'm like i'm ready to roll and i start taking it and i take it once a day for five days then i realized there's more than there's more than five pills in there and i'm like oh this is amazing and they also not only are they on demand they give you extra right so save it for next uta next time and then i was like i'm still not feeling amazing and then i was supposed to be like three pills a day it was supposed to be two pills a day and i got to day four i'm still fighting it oh but what kind of an idiot like i really got so cocky about my like i've been around the block i know about this read the bottle that's what i'm

saying i'm like i'm such a moron like why didn't i just read the bottle also who picks up a bottle and doesn't realize that it's 10 pills versus five like so pretty thank you god is you know who else is pretty dr diamond he always makes us pretty now back to the lady gang Our guest today is a world-renowned plastic surgeon who is not only responsible for my new chin and how fabulous I look now and why everyone asks me if I lost weight, he's also responsible for helping thousands of other stars

look fresh as f***. He's been featured on shows like Dr. 90210 and Netflix's Celebrity Plastic Surgeons, and he's treated everyone from Chrissy Teigen to Kim K, and those are only the ones we can tell you about because they posted on Instagram. There's lots of secret people who won't admit that they get treated by him.

Shame. We are all born as special little beautiful snowflakes, ladies and gentlemen, but we can always be special-er-er-er-er-er with a little filler. Everything from facelifts to noses to lasers and skin care, Dr. Diamond does it all, and he's the best in the business. And he's here in his scrubs today because he just operated. Please welcome to the lady gang, Dr. Diamond. Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't believe you came to our show after, I just want to, like, I'm going to start it

off. Like, get you a man that can do both, dude. You know what I mean? Number one, formal apology on what happened on Lady Gang TV from Kelty. Oh, you mean when you were hitting on him? Time's up, Kelty. I don't remember that, actually. You don't?

I don't. He blocked it out on camera. It was so bad. Probably because it happens to you all the time. All the time. Do you notice? I don't notice. Like, I just, you know, for me, it's all business, but, you know, Tammy and the girls will tell me, like, things happen, but I don't really pay much attention to it.

Now, were you hot growing up? I can't relate. Kelsey, no, you can't. She is a professional. I know he's a professional, but my question is, okay, there's, sorry. She's like, were you always this hot? No, my question is, we have bets on if you were hot growing up. Here's why we do it.

The answer is no. No, not even close. Because there's a guy that I went to high school with, Corey Hucco. Oh, my God. Wow, I had to throw him under the bus. Corey was a seven. No one dated him in high school or junior high. No one wanted to go to prom with this guy.

He went on. He went to doctor school. Medical school? Medical school. Doctor school. He became a chiropractor. Now I look at his Facebook with his wife and his family, and I was like, oh, Corey. Chiropractors don't have to go to medical school.

Well, whatever. Anyway, I was like, you were hotter than I thought. You turned out great. Were you like that? Well, I think that they say that the MD increases your standing on the one to ten scale, like three points. I think that was the situation for me. Also, you're just, like, too nice to have been hot.

Yeah, you're so nice. Like, you know, he's got, like, the kind of dorky, like, nice, awesome personality. She just called me a dork. Did she just call me a dork? I don't mean dorky. I just mean you're smart. Smart? Well, like, you're dorky enough that I trust you to open up my face.

Yeah, you're not, like, a hot douchebag person. I'll take it as a compliment. You don't have a bro thing. No, you don't look at Dr. Diamond and think he could have been out popping bottles at the club as you two hung over to inject my face. Absolutely. Yeah, and that was not me. But, no, I didn't have my first girlfriend until probably 17, 18. Oh, okay.

And it was sort of like somebody I settled for. I hope she's not listening. But, like, I couldn't get the girlfriend that I really wanted, you know. And that didn't happen until, you know, late 20s. But now you could. But you haven't been. And you did. I'm married now.

And this is the thing. Listen, we're going to talk about your work. But first I just want to talk about your social media. so one of the things that like i love about you is that well it's also nauseating is you're so talented you're so good you're successful and then your family is so cute i know like you're like oh we're just in tahoe making s'mores god damn it my it's my favorite thing to do is spend time with the kids you know like that's and we talk about this all the time it's really hard to balance the work and the kids but excuse me i feel very fortunate that i realized

some time ago maybe six years ago driving home from work i realized how fast it's already gone yeah so i feel very lucky that i've realized that like i'm not going to be someone who looks back when the kids are out to college be like where did it all go i missed it all i i may admit like i didn't really pay attention to maybe the first three or four years but when my older kid was five and the younger one was three or something like that or two i realized one day like holy crap Where did this time go? And I made that decision at that time. I remember driving home going, I'm going to try every single day to do everything with them.

And Tammy will tell you, like, I'm almost over the top with it. Like, I don't want to miss anything, even practices. Like, I'll even – we'll even shut down early just so I can go to a practice, not even – never mind a game. Because I just realized, like, I just – it'll be so sad to me when they're gone. And if I've missed it all, I'll be, like, just want to kill myself. That means you have an amazing wife because if you were my husband, I'd be like, get back into that penthouse and inject more faces. We need more money. It's so funny.

It's kind of true. Your wife is a doctor too, right? She is a doctor, yeah. What kind of a doctor is she? That's so odd. Well, she's got two board certifications, pediatrics and internal medicine, but she hasn't practiced those in probably 12 or 15 years. She started doing cosmetic lasers in the office 11 or 12 years ago, and she's become like a laser expert. So most people have nurses doing lasers and things like that, PAs, but she's a double board certified doctor doing them.

So it's the highest level. We just had a guest on that was talking about the magic of lasers. I'm a believer. I'm a believer. I wasn't before. I need a laser. Yeah, they're great. I mean, I do them on myself.

They're great. I mean, if they're the right person. Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah, I guess, you know. Okay. Let's continue and talk about why you're actually here. Dr. Diamond, how do you feel about the results of my face?

You look awesome. I can't believe it's actually better than I expected it to be. I'm a little chubby. Like, not chubby, but, like, a little bloated right now because it's the 4th of July. I've been eating a lot of gluten, you know. But, like, when I really eat properly, it snatches right up. No, it looks so good. Honestly, it's better than I expected it to be, especially given the damage we were dealing with.

Do you remember? No, this is what's great. Kelsey was f***ed up. Well, you had done too many things. So I had done. No, I'll be honest now that we're talking about it on our pod, not the TV. So I did – first I did the Botox where they put the Botox on your thing to like stop it from pulling. The bands.

The bands. Then I did the cool sculpting. Then I did the Kybella. Then I went to Dr. Diamond. He was like, nope. How old did you say her neck was? Like 60? Yeah, he's like, you have the neck of a 65-year-old.

Oh, it was definitely – yeah, definitely up there, yeah. What exactly did you do? Yeah. So we did – Do you remember? I do remember, yeah. Because you get asked about it all the time. And I did the same exact procedure today on an actual – same exact procedure today.

He's like, no, I just do it all the time. I do a lot of these. I mean, since yours, I've probably – how long ago was that? Two months? We did it at Christmas. I mean, since that, I've probably done 50 of them. I mean, we do a lot. But I remember yours very well, of course.

Because she sexually harassed me. We did what we call – The inappropriateness of her, yeah. Well, no, yeah, partially. Tammy's in the corner laughing so much because she remembers it, yeah. Partially, yeah. Well, also, we filmed it for television, which was, like, a little different than your normal day. Yeah, and we do some of that.

But I just, how can I forget you? I mean, come on. She really is a special person. Gobble, gobble. We did the minimally invasive neck lift. This is a, it's a very specialized neck lift procedure that we have developed for this type of purpose. It's not something you can read about or Google because it's not a, no one will understand what that means. It's not like looking up facelift or chin implant or rhinoplasty.

This is my method of tightening up the neck in a very minimally invasive way. And so that's what we did. And it actually worked out perfect for you. Yeah. All I have is I have two little baby scars behind my ears and see the one little dot. Barely dot. Right. We're only going to laser that at some point.

Right. So that was the minimally invasive neck. But we also did facial sculpting as well, which is a big component. And that was my signature method of contouring and sculpting a face. And so we did that as well. And I forgot about that, but that's, yeah, we did do that too. Because I remember when you first came, I first came, Dr. Diamond said, well, you know, you'd be a great candidate for a chin implant because I have like a little bit of a receding

chin, but we didn't have time. It was about to be award season. And I was like kind of scared to be honest. Now I would go full into it because I understand the importance of a chin. But if you've never done anything to your chin before, you're like, I don't want a chin like weird. Then you put the chin, it looks amazing. Do you still do a lot of chin implants with the filler now?

I do a lot of facial sculpting. I do a lot of chin projection with facial sculpting, and I do a lot with facial implants as well. It just depends on what somebody's goals and motivations are. For somebody who wants the best result that's going to be permanent, oh, it's a chin implant. Yeah. Right. If for someone who's like, I need to look good tonight or tomorrow, then it's facial sculpting. Right.

You know. Wow. I have a question. So my grandmother had a facelift at the time it was considered pretty young, like in her 60s, but she had a whole, like, theory on doing it younger. is that what you should be doing because now i feel like people are doing facelifts young they are people are the average age of a facelift patient i'd say when i started in you know roughly 2000 the average age of a facelift patient was probably close to 60 i would say now 20 years later the average age is probably around 50 meaning a lot of people younger than

that yeah okay so it's gone now probably 10 years the average so a lot of people in their early 40s mid 40s yeah uh and people always ask me what's the right age i my answer is the right age to do it is when whatever your issue is bothers you enough that it's really affecting your self confidence that's the right age to do it and and you made a comment that i don't do facelifts under 40 i actually have done a number of them as young as 30 for someone with big weight loss and some in their mid-30s. So it just depends on the person, but it's when your issue bothers you.

If a facelift is the only appropriate fix, then that's the time to do it, when you can't look in the mirror anymore without being really aware of the issues that bother you. Is it so weird to take someone's face off and put it back on? You know, it would be... You just take it off like a mask. No, they do.

Don't they pull it down and then do the muscles and then put the face back on? It depends what procedure we're doing, But part of a facelift is lifting the skin up and tightening the underlying muscles and pulling the skin back. What do you do with the muscles? Do you cut them? Sometimes we cut them. The analogy I think that's most accurate is more visual, but I'll show you and you can describe it or I'll try and describe it.

But it's kind of like if your sock is snugged down like this and I'm wearing long socks, that's kind of like what an aging underlying muscle is. And what we do is we just kind of do that. I'm snugging it up now. That's what we do with the muscles. So the muscles kind of sit here. We just kind of snug them up like that. And it will go to where it wants to go. And then you know you've got the right tension on it.

And that's what we do. And then you tie them up there? And then we tie it up there. We'll cut some off. And so whatever we need. It's different techniques for different people and different amounts. I didn't know that you could move muscles around. I always just thought a facelift was just tightening your skin.

No, the skin is the old school method. It's a simple little old school method. But the problem with that is they don't last as long, and they can give some pretty unnatural what we call windswept looks where the skin gets these weird diagonal streaks in them, almost like a Nike sign. That's from tightening the skin and not tightening the muscles underneath. I've seen so many of those. What do you think our generation, our group, everyone's talking about the threads. What do you think, bro? Threads have been around forever.

But it's back. And I'm sort of an – I'm actually an expert on this topic because I was one of the first people to ever do them back in 2002. Wow. And so if – I don't want to bore everybody, but I can go through the whole history of it. But the point is they've been around since about 2002. They are nothing new. But what happens is every couple years they get rebranded. Right.

Because a new company will buy them and repackage them or rebrand them or some doctor will all of a sudden start Instagramming and talking about it. and they get one influencer talking about the next thing you know everyone's asking about the threads it happens every couple years but these were really big they came out in about 2002 and i was one of i think five doctors in la using it because you had it you had to learn how to do it they wouldn't sell to anybody and i happened to be one of the i learned it from one of the few people who was doing it and so i was able to do it back in 2002 in 2005 it opened up to everybody they call the contour thread lift and it was huge they spent a billion dollars on marketing it seemed it was on every morning show and on every ad and at the meetings everyone's talking about the thread

lift and so from about 2005 to 2006 every doctor in every corner was doing it i probably did 100 120 of them over that year span what happened was there were a lot of problems with it a lot of after about a year you start to see the problems very few people got a result that lasted more than a few months very few some did but very few i'd say 80 of people's result disappeared in a few months but more importantly like one side would fall and the other would it was it there were a lot of issues with it so what happened was as fast as that thing took off it plummeted and died it just tanked and then you didn't hear about it again it just sort of went under you didn't hear about again and then in like 2010 yeah some it got rebranded different company and all of a sudden

everyone's talking about the threads again and it's like well we just went through this and then it was real popular just not for a year maybe for three months and then it you never heard about again then in 2016 another doctor promoted it and a couple celebrities talked about it you heard about it you heard about it heard about it gone and now all of a sudden it's back it's it's it's the same story so i do them for very certain circumstances it can give you a nice little tightening for a very short period of time but i would tell most people i'd say probably 80 to 90 percent of people's results are gone in six weeks there are a very small number of people where they'll be like yeah i think it four or five months i still see it so so so the thing is it's

a way overhyped procedure it's very limited in what it can do um there are some circumstances where it can give some benefit but as long as the person understands limitations then they might be happy it's not gonna be like a facelift it's not a facelift it's not even as good as facial sculpting it's not as powerful as facial sculpting um or other in-office procedures i have a question for all the women who are really afraid of injectables like the fillers and the botox is there any reason we should be afraid like my biggest fear with the filler is like it's a slippery slope and i've seen a lot of actresses go crazy and now their faces are almost like lumpy because and well and also like puffy and i get i'm like how does where do you go where it

makes you puffy yeah and that's all in understanding where to put it right and my and and i will tell you so i developed this technique i call facial sculpting years ago and that was born out of me being a facial implant expert i happen to make my own facial implants cheek implants jaw implants chin implants and put them in and i know exactly where to put those surgically so from the surgeries i learned this is how i want to do my facial sculpting to do the non-surgical techniques so so the technique is designed to do the exact opposite if somebody's too puffy this will make them look less puffy so your question why do people look puffy it's just put in the wrong place right and i and i would submit to every i would submit to you that a lot of providers are

still are putting the filler in the wrong place we see people every week who come in a real puffy in certain areas and they said yeah i just had injections there two weeks ago and i'm thinking that's the wrong put that that's an expected result you're supposed you will look puffy if you inject in those areas and so i think it's just a function of where it's being placed yeah well that's what people get scared about because you see people like that that have gotten so many fillers in the wrong spots because their injectors don't know what the hell it's it's yeah it's when it's injected in the wrong spots and i will also tell you that put in the right place the way i've designed facial sculpting honestly you couldn't even overdo it like you you almost couldn't

overdo it because when it's in the right spots i mean you'd you'd have to really try hard to overdo it to make somebody look weird right you know it's really hard to make it not look good right and that's the thing is like when someone has it done well you can't really tell you're just like you look gorgeous yeah like i would never know you had i mean i didn't even remember you did it look at you it looks totally natural i know i remember my first red carpet after the surgery uh was like career's choice or something during award season and like everyone was like oh my god weren't people at like people were asking back they're like kelty looks incredible what did she do yeah like oh i don't know just got my whole chin sucked out and then my facial

sculpt i got a who knew face you're listening to the lady gang okay what is your most requested face and what is your most popular procedure like who do people come in because people always like makeup sorry makeup artists always tell me everyone comes they're like i just want something natural and then they show a picture of kim kardashian yeah people show you faces yes they do and i would say delusion i would say kim is still probably one of the most popular faces that people bring in you know bella yeah a lot of people bring in bella and kendall what do you do when people bring in a face like that you're like this is an international supermodel three hundred thousand dollars yeah exactly well i mean it's it's true i you know i i tell them listen we

i mean it goes for everybody all we can do is maximize the best thing to do the safest thing to do and the most effective thing is to maximize each individual's aesthetic yeah and what's good for you is different for you is different for you it's different for all of us to maximize our so i i tell everybody listen i can make you look your best but you know you don't want kim's cheek because it won't work on you or you don't want bella's chin because it won't work on you or whatever you know i try to educate people as much as i can no it's true and i remember i was uh after we, I know you guys have seen them too, but, um, I remember walking out of your place being like, Oh, that was like some real truth tea.

Cause you're so honest. You know what I mean? Like you go to different people and they're like, I can make you beautiful. And you're like, Oh my God, amazing. But like you sat down and you're like, here's the deal. Like you with your face. Like I can fix you a little, but I don't know how far I, you know, and there's a, a part of that honesty that is, is so refreshing, you know, it's refreshing because it's like,

i know that when i go in to other people like you can't make me bella hadid like you can you can say you want to but like that's not going to happen and i always i thought that was like actually really sweet and i also i also like that you have that mindset because it is kind of scary that as like a society everybody's trying to look like three different faces so to be the best version of yourself is like a nice uh way to look at it not everybody wants to be kim kardashian yeah i love that okay so i don't know if you'll answer this you don't have to name a name but can you describe your most secretive celebrity encounter with like a face surgery or something like did you go in a back door did you have to wear a mask coming in did you go to their house did you go to

the house i'm sure you do house oh yeah i mean there's it's all that i mean all that yeah house house calls at midnight um office visits at midnight surgeries at midnight i mean all this stuff like you know to avoid paparazzi yeah right i think um i had to do that it was totally like walking down the street like i'm here i'm here yeah i mean there's a there's a million different stores but yeah there's not one it's there's a lot of that with that that particular client was there ever someone who came to you someone super famous that wanted something that you really didn't want to give them yes i'm sure all the time yes yes yes yes Yeah, it happens. It happens. It happens from time to time. It happens with a lot of people with the super famous. It's it's happened a few times. One person in particular. Yes, a lot. And and, you know, it's it's hard. The thing is, these people never hear no.

sure it's hard to say no to somebody who but i you know who i am you know how i am i'm honest with everybody and i'm honest with them too and i would tell them i i that's not a good idea and we can't do that right and so it's a it's a hard thing to say no to them but but yeah as a doing what i do i have to i have to give the straight scoop even as even if it's uncomfortable for me and it's going to be awkward but i'm not going to do something that's not going to help somebody or potentially going to hurt somebody. Can you please tell me when the trend of overdone lip filler is going to end? It's killing me.

Yeah, you see a lot of people with really full lips, like overly full lips walking around, and I don't know what's going on because I don't see those people. Would you do that? If somebody came to you with overly full lips already and then wanted more lip filler, would you do that? or do you have like a standard where you're like i have a standard where enough is enough and and 99.99 percent of the time i i stop it where i want it and and most and i'd say 99 percent of

that those times the people that i'm doing for like that's perfect good perfect right have you ever done someone's secret face in hollywood and then been out at like craigs or catch and you have to pretend like you don't know each other because the husband doesn't know and he and craigs is actually a perfect example it happens all the time for those of you not in la craigs is like a very fancy hubbub like it's where everyone goes you want to be seen the paparazzi 24 7 and i and i talked about this i think in a hollywood reporter and craigs is craigs a good friend of mine and we play golf together from time to time and and um i and i was there and it was exactly at craigs it was it was an awards night i can't remember which one this is probably three or four

years ago and there were three people in there that i had done recently and every one of them and i know and then went white like i have a like a plague i tell you like i have a disease you're like hollywood's secret boyfriend yeah yeah they'll see me i'll turn right away and i totally understand because they don't want their friends how do you know dr diamond yeah or even like a pop they're paparazzi being like huh yeah okay yeah so i know you know i know not to say anything to anybody unless they come to me first. This was not a

celebrity, but just a few months ago I took my kids to Burger Lounge. We were at Burger Lounge and I was sitting at the counter facing the outside. There was a big window to the outside and literally not a foot away were tables right outside. Someone I'd done a facelift on

10 days beforehand, 2 weeks beforehand was sitting literally a foot from me in between the glass. That's so weird. I'm looking at her going, she looks amazing. But she didn't see me, and I wasn't about to go out there or knock on the window because – It's me! Your new face looks awesome! Right.

And then I saw her a couple weeks later in the office. She goes, you know, I saw you at Burger Lunch. I said, you know, I didn't want to say anything. She said, oh, I just didn't want to bother you. So I would have been okay. But I will never – Right, you never know. I'll never take that first step.

So interesting. And then this other time, I was at Matsuhisa, which if anyone knows, it's my favorite place. It's like the local – you know, it's Nobu's original place. and there's always big time people in there for the most part and I was and it's a very intimate little place and I was sitting at my table and right next to me again a foot away

was an international patient that I take care of who's a pretty big wig and we were facing each other so I was facing north she was facing south right next to us and she was with a friend and it was so weird and I knew I'm not going to say anything to her because I don't know if her friend knows so the whole

time for an hour and a half we're just kind of looking at each other looking away. So finally I text her. I said, I said, I'm not going to say anything. Don't worry. She said, okay, please. Thank you. Like, like, yeah, she didn't want her friend to know how she knew me. Also, I just want to let you know that I'm here and I do see you. Do you think that's changing? Like I, I had reservations about maybe people knowing and being like, Oh, she thinks she's so whatever. Like I can't, you know, and then I was so open about doing the surgery with you. And then people were like, Oh my God, thank you for saying something because I know everyone's doing stuff but no one talks about it yeah do you think that's changing with people like the

chrissies who's like oh i come in and here i am and i'm playing doctor for a day i do yeah i think that it's becoming it's becoming more and more mainstream and it has ever since i started i mean every year it seems like it becomes yeah less and less and less taboo to talk about so i think more and more people are talking about it there's of course certainly some who will never well will they i mean there's i have one celebrity patient uh who i can think of right off the top of my head who every single time I'm going to be at an event, I go to a fair number of charity events, and we're often at the same ones.

And every time, a week before whatever event I'm going to, she'll text me, please don't, remember, don't say anything because I don't want my husband to know. And every time, like a week before an event, I'm like, I'm wondering when she's going to text me to tell me. I'm like, I know, I know, don't worry,

I won't say anything. But like, yeah, so some people don't even want their significant others to know. and she is so I'm like don't worry I got it I you know now is it a hard thing to walk around and be able to look at everyone's face and be like oh I could do something with those cheekbones like everywhere you go you're like a Mario Kart like you're running around town being like it's so nice to meet you girl at the restaurant yeah I could really bump up that chin for you like it's gotta be can you turn your brain off I can turn it off and I like I and but it is like um

And sometimes when I see something that I know will look so good, it's almost like a scratch that you just want to itch it, you know, and you can't get to it. Like, let me just put a little bit of filler in there right now. Like, hey, Jack, it's good to see you again. Yeah, we could go up on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got to be hard, though, because you can't shut it off. Yeah, no, I can shut it off. But the thing is, I can.

I mean, you know, I can turn it off. I think it's fun. But I like it. It's what I'm here to do. I know it's what I've been put on this planet to do. So I just love thinking about it. I love talking about it. people come up to me at parties or wherever it's annoying no well they always say i don't

at least my favorite thing it's it's one of the only things i'm good at so i like to talk about it you know like like i really like to talk about i love talking about it because it's something that i because i always assumed it would be annoying that everywhere you go people like what should i do to my face and you're like oh my god pay me the goddamn consultation you're like she's right behind me you know no yeah yeah you know yeah i i enjoy i enjoy talking about it but every now and then yeah the funny thing about it it's a double-edged sword because people often come up to me at wherever in social settings say so what do you think what would you do and i'd be like i'm like for the before when this first started happening 15 years ago i'd be

I'd be like, okay, we can do this, this, and this. And I offended a fair number of people. They'd be like – because I guess they expected me to say, oh, you're perfect. You don't need anything. So after that happened for the hundredth time, now when people say it, I'll say, are you sure you want to talk about it? Like, you know, do you really want to know what I think? And then if they say yes, then I'll tell them, yeah, this is what I think would benefit you. I would never offer it up unless they come ask me.

Yeah, that's a slippery slope too. I offended a fair number of people who asked me because – Right. They didn't really want to know. They didn't really want to know. I don't know what they, then why they ask. It's like when they, when I asked my husband, do you like my new haircut? Don't ask him.

He wants your hair long. Stop cutting it. There's no good answer. I wanted to ask you for our girls. Listen, not everyone who listens to this show around the world is going to be able to come to Beverly Hills and get in with you. Cause how long is your wait list? Like four years or something, right?

Four years sounds about right. No, I don't. It's crazy though. Right. Tammy, how long is your wait list? I should schedule my facelift now. That's what you're telling me. I literally thought about that.

Oh my God. We've got to think like 15 years of it. Yeah. It's like I'm not pregnant yet, but I'm signing my kids up for preschool. Yeah. Center. Wait, we should all get babies together. Well, the key is for anybody, the secret is you need to know Tammy.

Tammy is the gatekeeper. We all have Tammy's number, so we're fine. If you know Tammy, you're good. You're good. Tammy's going to write a book one day. It's going to be good. Ooh, ooh, ooh. But for all the women and men listening around the world, what are the things that they should

look for when they're going to find the person? Like, they want to go do something. Everyone's always like, I mean, obviously we know. We're not Groupon-ing our Botox. Like, fine, that's one. The girls don't know that. So my biggest tip would be this. At a minimum, you want to make sure your doctor is board certified in the specialty you are interested in.

Now, that's, in this day and age, it still surprises me people don't even understand what to ask for. A lot of doctors might be board certified in OBGYN. Right. But they're board-certified in OB-GYN, but that doesn't mean they're board-certified in facial surgery. If you're doing facial work, you want someone who's board-certified in facial plastic surgery. If you are doing tummy tuck or breast augmentation, you want someone who's board-certified in body general plastic surgery. If you're doing heart surgery, you want someone who's board-certified in cardiothoracic surgery. If you're doing your knee, you want someone board-certified in orthopedic surgery.

So I'll hear a lot of people say, yeah, I went to him, he was board certified, and you look into him, they were board certified OBGYNs, but they did the facelift, it didn't work out right. Is that even legal to do? It is legal, it's legal, but it doesn't mean, so I would tell everyone, make sure your doctor is board certified in your specialty. If I'm getting my heart worked on, I'm not going to a board certified neurologist to do my heart surgery, even though legally they could. I'm going to a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon. Understand what I'm saying? So that would be – now, that's at least a baseline. You know that that doctor is at least has had a baseline of training and passing the appropriate exams.

It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be the best at it, but at least you know they've had to pass a certain amount of exams and a certain amount of training. Right. And beyond that, you know, someone with a good reputation who, if ideally you know some people who went to that person and got good results. But the first thing I would do is make sure they're board certified in the specialty that you are looking to. Even for injectables, right? I would even do it for injectables. So no medispas, no nurses. You know, here's what I would say.

the thing about injectables are that in general people do real well with them however the complications that can occur from injectables can be more drastic more devastating and more dangerous than even surgical complications can be and the main complications that can occur If the filler is injected into an artery, it then becomes what's called an embolus. And that filler could travel into the brain and cause a stroke. It could travel into the eye and cause blindness. It could travel into an artery that feeds a certain area of skin and cause loss to that area of skin. So in town now, there are stories and real people, because I know, because they've called my office, see if I can help, who have gone blind from filler.

Who have lost their nose from filler. Who have lost areas of their skin. It can be extremely devastating results if it's not done with significant knowledge of the facial anatomy. So for me, I'm only letting a facial plastic surgeon who understands where all the nerves, blood vessels, arteries are. That's the only person injecting my face. You know, I'm not here to throw anybody under the bus, and I'm sure, you know, I'm just telling you that's who's injecting me. someone who knows where those vessels are to avoid because all the complications that i have heard about have all been completely preventable had the the um offending anatomy had not been

jeopardized and it was just put in the wrong place you know what i mean and so those things are very unlikely to happen by somebody who really has an understanding of the anatomy and as a facial surgeon we're in there every day i know exactly where those scars are because i'm looking at them I'm operating on them. I see them under the skin. And so for me, I'm having someone with that kind of expertise do my injections. Who's going to do your facelift? Well, it's a good question.

He's just going in there himself. It's a good question. Go under it and do it yourself. I've got a few people in mind. I've probably got a few years. I'm getting close. I'm getting close. Dr. Diamond has an amazing Instagram.

If you love this kind of stuff and you're interested and curious or you just want to see him like do the sculpting is on himself which is literally magic yeah it's magical you can follow him at dr jason diamond it's the diamond facial institute if you want to go online if you're interested and you can send him messages and they always respond and it's just awesome to watch you work and i my favorite thing like i said is when you you're like well i gotta try it myself and then you're like and i was like oh my god yeah i gotta fight the battle too it seems aggressive

but we love thank you for my new face it's changed my life and I can't wait to come and see you soon good to see you Tammy and I guess that's the end
