The following podcast is a dear media production.
Let's jump right into it and talk about sex.
Actually, let's talk about having even better sex.
You've heard it here before and you've probably heard it from a lot of your other favorite
podcasters as well.
Woo for Play makes having sex even better.
Okay.
Basically, everyone in our life, including my dad, which is super creepy, has been gifted
Wu and they all thank us over and over for improving their sex lives.
My favorite part is that I've been giving it to my girlfriends and they're bringing it into the bedrooms and their husbands are blown away.
Literally.
I think actually literally blown away.
I think it's so cool for women to bring this stuff in the bedroom instead of the man.
It sort of changes the narrative, right?
You know, instead of having that gross drugstore loop filled with nasty chemicals, you bring in the nice coconut love oil.
Start with a little massage and then things, you know, can get weird.
All right.
So to try Woo, go to Woo for Play.

Bostic are bringing you along for the ride.
Get ready for some major realness.
Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.
The craziest thing probably, this guy who was a body modification guy, and he had every
modification you could have.
He had the huge earring stretched things.
He had the full nose pierce all over place.
He had his tongue split down the middle.
All these things I'd seen before.
He had earrings in his eyelids.
Like that I had never seen before.
He had like metal.
ball's implanted under his form. I'd never see. It was just nasty stuff, but he had something
I'd never seen before, and that was horns implanted in his head. He had these horns implanted
his head to look like a demon or a devil, and they were silicone horns that somebody put in
in some basement. The guy wanted him removed out because he wanted to start, like, normalizing
his life. Welcome back to the skinny confidential him and her show. If you are new to the show,
thank you for joining. That clip was from our guest of the show today, Dr. Jason Diamond.
On this episode, we dive into the world of facial surgery covering topics like facial reconstruction,
the golden ratio, facelifts, rhinoplasty, facial rejuvenation, plastic surgery, and more.
Guys, what's up? I'm Lauren Everts. I'm the creator of the skinny confidential.
Blog, a book, a brand, and a podcast. And I'm Michael Bostic. I'm an entrepreneur and business operator.
Most recently, the co-founder and CEO of Dear Media, a podcast network focused on the digital space and
female voices. And you're the proud owner of...
of new boobs. I, in a way, am the proud owner of new boobs because you have new boobs. I was greasing
him up this weekend. I know. What's going on with you, man? There's kids out there. There's kids.
There's parents. They're trying to have breakfast. There's kids out there trying to relax. There's
dads and moms and you're out there with these things flopping around. You're going to knock someone out
with those cannons. When you get a new car, you drive it around in the most obnoxious way. So when I get new
boobs, they're going to hang out for like a year. I'm all for it. You do you. Be confident.
Woman hear you roar. Whatever you want to.
to do, but how long are we going to be doing this for? What if you got a dick implant? You would want it
bunched up in your jeans for a good year? No, in my case, I'll need to get a reduction. A reduction?
It's too much already, you know what I mean? All right. Guys, remember that there was two episodes last week.
Episode 128 was with Emily Schumann and Jeffrey Fuller from the brand cupcakes in cashmere.
And then we had Rachel Hollis on Thursday, who was a bestselling author. She wrote Girl Wash Your Face,
which is currently crushing it on Amazon's top charts.
Make sure you check out both of those episodes because they're both gems.
So, yes, I love both those episodes.
I'm so irritated because I was listening to this episode and I was editing it.
And I sound, it's when I was sick.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
I'm not going to talk about how you're sick.
No, so I'm not going to talk about how I'm sick.
But my voice is a little off, which sounds right.
But then I started thinking about how I was irritated.
And then I started thinking about some of the dogs that I saw this weekend.
and some of the dog owners, and I got even more irritated.
There are so many shitty dog owners out here.
It just really pisses me off.
It grinds my gears.
It's way too hot.
These guys are out here.
They're dragging their dogs around.
The feet are burning.
They're leaving them strapped up to these posts.
And the dogs can't breathe.
And they're panting and they're not getting water.
It just pisses me off.
What makes you more mad than a dog not being treated at 100% level at all times?
I mean, oh my God, it makes me sick.
These people, they just, they're being rude to dogs.
I literally saw this guy.
He had this dog chained up.
He was sucking down water.
The dog was panting.
Then later I saw this girl.
This West Hollywood grossed to me out.
I love it here.
But this girl literally, you saw this.
Her dog took this giant shit.
And she literally took two leaves and put it over the shit like inside.
And then walked away.
I love to give you hypotheticals.
What would you do if someone was rude to your dogs?
If someone was rude to my dogs,
I would literally, I would be going to jail.
Really?
I would, I defend those dogs more than I would defend, like, probably even you.
Okay.
Because I feel like you could defend yourself and you could like take care of yourself a little bit and
like, you know, there'd be a, it would have to be an extreme situation for me.
You have to step in.
I remember that one time that guy reached down your pants in the back of that bar
and I had to do something?
Yeah, you guys, there was this one time just a super side note.
I was leaning over a bar a little bit and I was wearing jeans with a belt.
And this guy came up to me from behind and stuck his dirty finger down my jeans next to
my but hole almost and Michael saw it, you were.
I was mad, but first of all, what kind of fucking creep does that?
But no, I think if somebody was mean to the dog, I'd for sure be going to jail.
Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
Listen, you have to take care of your dog.
If you're going to get them, it's hot out there, people.
Give them water.
Don't leave them chained to a post, or I'm going to leave you chained to a post.
If their feet are on the hot black asphalt, make sure they're not there too long,
it's burning them.
Just don't do, don't let me catch you out there.
Wipe their paws.
Tell them how we wipe their paws.
Wipe their paws.
Just take care of your dogs.
time the dogs go for a walk, which is once a day, we bring them home and we wipe their paws with
little wipes. They're these natural wipes. I think you can get them on Thrive Market, but you wipe their paws because
they get allergies on their paws and they lick their paws and it gets into their eyes. It's like dust and all
different kinds of things. Plus, if you have someone that comes and cleans your house or you clean the floors and it gets
all those chemicals on their paws, you want to wipe it off. Anyway, I don't want to start the show too negative.
This is very like a dog episode. I'm into it. Take care of your dogs. Plot twist. Don't
catch you out there in the streets. The guy that stuck his finger in my jeans into my
butt hole. That guy's fine. He can do that. Just take care of the dogs. All right. So,
I want to talk about something different than Michael's talking about. I want to talk about the
five outfits that I just ordered. Okay, guys? Not five pieces, five outfits, like two pieces,
okay? Off fabletics. There's this one that I got that is so flattering. It's like this
black tight
legging that sucks everything in with this big
thick white band at the top
this is super flattering because it sort of
hits the hips at the hip bone
and I have been living in them
since I got my boob job
anyway it comes with this
vibe black sports bra on top
so you get a two piece set and it really
pushes the twins up
Michael loves it right babe
friends are looking good okay wait I also need to mention
this it's $35
for the entire set, which is nuts.
Okay, so make sure you go to Fabletics and check out the Pashley two-piece outfit.
I got a medium top and small bottoms.
It fits perfect.
It sucks you in.
You should know some background on Fabletics, okay?
So it was born in 2013 and co-founded by actress Kate Hudson.
God, I loved her and had to lose a guy in 10 days.
Okay, so the founding team noticed a big gap in the active wear marketplace.
It was very difficult for people to find trendy, stylish gymware that was priced affordably.
So Fabletics came to the rescue.
I mean, you can see this clear as day because if you saw me in my $35, Pashley two-piece,
you would think it was like $200.
Okay.
Fabletics mission is simple.
They create clothing that's made to inspire physical activity in any type of setting.
Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty.
Here's how it works.

meet Dr. Diamond. Dr. Jason B. Diamond of the Diamond Face Institute is a top facial plastic
surgeon in his field and has helped thousands of patients achieve a more youthful, we love youthful,
natural-looking appearance with the wide range of facial surgical procedures he provides.
Dr. Diamond chooses to not dilute his focus and concentrates exclusively on the face.
You can stock his Instagram where he showcases patients like Chris Jenner, Lala Kent,
Van der Pumpump Rules cast, Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose,
Courtney Kardashian, Erica Jane, Steph, Sheph, Kate Upton, to name a few guys.
He is a double board certified plastic surgeon and was once on the popular show, Dr. 90210.
I love that show.
He's now joining our show, The Skinny Confidential, Him and Her.
With that, welcome, Dr. Diamond.
Let's get into it with specifics.
This is the Skinny Confidential, Him and Her.
All right, Dr. Diamond, tell us how you got here.
So give us your background.
Starting with your childhood.
My childhood, okay.
So I'm from New Jersey.
I grew up in a blue collar, just average household.
And I wasn't a super, I was just an average kid pretty much.
But what got me interested in this world is when I was in high school, I had a friend who was involved in a car accident.
He got his face smashed up.
And it was a pretty big deal to see how it affected him and to see how it affected, you know, all of us.
He was pretty beat up, pretty bad, needed some reconstructive surgery.
He was worried no one would ever want to go out on a date with him.
He was worried no one would ever want to go out with him and be seen with him.
So it was big, like it had a big impact.
And he went through the surgery, got reconstructed, and they basically fixed him and made him whole.
And it was, so the impact that that had on me and on his friends and on him, it was huge.
And what's even more interesting about the whole thing is at the time, the surgeons had given him intraoperative photos of the
surgery with like his scalp peeled down, exposure of all the bones with the plates on them
to reconstruct them.
And he'd bring these pictures into school from time to time and everyone was grossed out with
them.
But I was fascinated with him.
I wanted to see him.
I'd stare at him for hours and like every couple weeks to be like, hey, can I see those pictures
again?
I was just fascinated with the whole anatomy, with the anatomy.
It was crazy.
And so I knew I had an interest in it.
But to be a doctor, I grew up from a town where you weren't doctors and I'd be
grew up in a blue collar, Italian town in New Jersey where, you know, people were mechanics and
stuff like that. It just, it just being a doctor, and no one in my family was a doctor, no one in my
immediate family. Um, so it wasn't anything I really thought that I was going to be able to do,
you know, well, look, being a doctor is too hard. You have to be too smart. You have to be
like, you know, I wasn't smart enough. I don't know. I just, it just wasn't something I thought
was possible. But I started taking the classes and I was like, you know, killing it and able,
and I realized like, hey, I can do this. And I applied to med school and got in. And the next thing,
I gravitated towards facial plastic surgery because I loved it and I was good at it and I did well in it.
And it just sort of mushroom clattered from there.
And that's how it all got started.
I also feel like I know that you're smart, but you're also an artist.
And I was telling Michael this.
There's a difference, I think, with a doctor that's an artist and one that's not.
Can you kind of explain the difference just for anyone who's listening that doesn't know what I mean?
Yeah.
There are different skills involved.
in being a good doctor and different doctor, different specialties require different skills.
And some of the smartest people I have ever met, people I still talk to to this day,
aren't very coordinated with their hands.
Just because you're smart doesn't mean you have good hands.
And just because you have good hands doesn't mean you're smart.
It's a completely different thing.
And so to be a good plastic surgeon, well, I mean, to be a surgeon period,
you have to have so many hours under your belt of experience and you've had to have passed so many exams and studied.
So we all, there's at least a baseline of like, you know, this person has put the hours into study and learn the appropriate anatomy and to learn the important surgical principles and things.
But to be a good plastic surgeon does require a finesse and an aesthetic judgment.
And those things are, you can't really teach those things to.
some degree. Most of it, I think, is you either have it or you don't. It's a nice way of saying
you have to have a natural given talent. I think you have to have a natural given talent for,
I think 80%, let's just put a arbitrary number on it. I'd say 80% of my ability to do what I do
is probably natural, God given, and 20% has been, you know, learned, I would say, if I had
to put numbers to it. Now, different specialties are different, you know. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
A lot of specialties require just a ridiculous amount of reading and staying on top of literature and studying and things like that.
And that's different because they're diagnosing things visually and they're not using their hands to fix things.
But when you're using your hands to fix problems like surgeons do, particularly plastic surgeons, but many, most of the surgical specialties, your finesse and your feel, that's really what.
it separates the, you know, separates the real masters of their specialty from, from the others.
And I think, in my opinion, a fair amount of that is God-given.
But with hours and hours and hours, too, you can develop your skills.
But even there are certain people who start off out of the gates and are just better than others,
and it's because of their hands and their aesthetic judgment and the way their brain interprets
things and how they see things.
It's similar to any other artists or like musician or like that.
You can learn and you can study
You can be the smartest guy in the room
But if you don't have that natural talent
You're only going to go so far
Let's make, I like to make the analogy all the time
I think it's very similar to a guitar player or a piano player
I mean there are those people who come out of the gates
And they just have that talent and that feel
And they know how to hit the keys
They know how to strum the strings right
And there are people and you know
Artists get better and better at it
But there are some people who you know have been who come out of the gates
And it's so a lot of it is God given
But it's definitely a mix of God given ability
and hours and hours and you've heard the principal I think uh 10,000 hours the 10,000 hours.
The Maxwell, uh, Maxwell, uh, Mc Gladwell.
You know, we were talking earlier. He has a podcast too.
Does he really?
Yeah. Malcolm Gladwell. Yeah. Malcolm Gladwell. Yeah. The 10,000, and I believe in the 10,000,
hour principle. And he said that, you know, to be a master, it's something you have to put
10,000 hours in. And I believe that there's probably a lot of truth to that. But even if you
put 10,000 hours in, those people who have that God given ability will be just better.
at it than those who don't.
And so that's my
opinion on the topic. I mean, I tried to play
guitar when I was a kid, and I played a little bit.
And her cousin has
God-given natural guitar talent. He's like,
oh, I'm going to try that too. And he came in. He heard one song
in the song that I took months and months to learn. He picked up and just played it
right away. I was all right, you know what? I'm going to be self-aware here and realize, like,
this is probably not my calling. But it's true.
I want to know why you went into plastic surgery
instead of other things on the face, because there's
obviously you could have gone into the brain, you could have gone in eye surgery.
Why did you pick plastic surgery?
Well, again, because seeing my friend go through that experience where he was, you know,
the, how it changed, how the, his mindset, his psychology, how it was so affected by how he was going to look and how, you know, at the time he's 16, he's like, no girl's ever going to want to date me.
That's a big deal because I was going through the same thing.
We were all, you know, and to see how that affected us a lot.
To see how when he got fixed, that was all better.
It was like, wow, that's like amazing.
You know, it was a big deal.
And so that's what got me interested in looking into plastic surgery as a med student, kind of gravitating towards it.
And then I just love the anatomy.
And within plastic surgery, there's many different sub-specialties.
I'm a facial specialist.
I love the facial anatomy.
It's very intricate, and to work on it requires just a different type of feel and finesse than working on the body.
They're two different skills.
And I like the facial work.
I just like the detailed nature of the anatomy.
me it's very complex. I loved studying it and learning it and just conquering and understanding
it's very rewarding because it is very difficult to understand really what's going on as far as
the anatomy goes. And then to be able to work on it in a skillful way, it just requires the utmost
finesse and feel. And it's just something that I just liked and I was good at it. And for me,
when I'm good at something, I get better at it. And the better I get at it, the more I like it. And it just
spirals up and I like it more and I get better at it I like it more and I it just you know
that's kind of how it progressed and I definitely found what I you know I tell people I'm
I'm very good at a few things and not good at a lot of things I sucked at guitar I started playing
guitar too like you when I was when I was a kid my cousin was amazing and he gave me his guitar I took
lessons and I played and I in fifth grade started a band with a couple kids and I was terrible
and this one of the guys who joined us,
he was playing guitar and he just
was so good at it.
And he had just started, just like your story.
Same thing.
And I was like, I'm not good at this.
And I just realized, and I quit too.
There are certain things I'm very good at.
And this just happens to be one of them.
I found, you know,
doubling down, tripling down on your strengths.
Yeah, yeah.
Thinking about I had a little band tune,
God bless those parents that sat through
and listened to those terrible, terrible sessions.
You kind of like,
I was looking at this app the other day.
They have this new app out called the Golden Racial.
Do you go by that?
The golden ratio.
In general, as a facial surgeon, I don't like look at the golden ratio before I go into a room and say, okay, I'm going to create this.
But what I do, the facial sculpting techniques and the surgical techniques that I do, we're sort of replicating that.
And can you tell anyone that doesn't know what the golden ratio is?
Can you kind of explain it?
The gold ratios, yeah, it's just a pattern that has been.
I don't even think it's the words, I don't know what the right word, it's not discovered, but
identified that is consistent with the best-looking faces in nature.
And it's just the ratios between the proportions of the upper part of the face,
the middle part of the face, and the lower part of the face.
And you can put a number to it.
Like there's certain percentages, a percentage distance that each eye should be from each other
in relation to the ears and that type of thing.
So it's a pattern that has been identified that the most beautiful faces in the world
have in common.
So before I go to bed tonight, Michael, I want you to look at me straight in the eye and say,
wow, Lauren, you have the golden ratio.
I want to tell you where I first found you.
And maybe Michael, I don't know if you know this.
Before I let everyone know where I first heard about Dr. Diamond, I want to talk about my new
Thrive Market Select page.
Okay.
So I went through all of Thrive Market and added all my services.
selects that are all TSC approved to this page.
We went through the master list.
We went through everything and found the top favorites.
So you can expect a very TSC-esque page.
One thing that I need to talk to you about that Michael and I are obsessed with right now is
Annie's organic BBQ sauce.
It's a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.
That's how you say BBQ?
You say barbecue.
How do you say it?
Barbecue.
Okay.
I say BBQ.
Bbecue, okay.
You actually tricked me because then I said that's how you said,
Babycue.
So I made Michael this barbecue chicken cauliflower crust pizza.
I got it off F F Factor.
So it's full of fiber.
And basically what you do is you make a cauliflower pizza crust and then you add your Annie's
organic original barbecue sauce or BBQ.
I got mine off Thrive Market.
This one has four grams of sugar or less, which we love.
Then we added chicken breast on top, a little red onion, some shredded cheddar
cheese, little mozzarella, and of course, fresh cilantro and tons and tons of lemon. Michael loved it.
This is such a good recipe to make the kids because I feel like it tastes just like CPK's version.
It was some damn good BBQ. It is some damn good BBQ. Anyways, on my page, you can find this
barbecue sauce, as Michael would say, and a bunch of my other selects and you can just shop
everything at once. And you guys know Thrive's been a sponsor of this show for a long
time. We love it. It breaks down every type of diet, every type of item. If you need household
items, you need a specific diet, whether you're keto or paleo or gluten-free. If you're a mother,
expecting mother, definitely not me. They have a section for you as well. And it just takes
all of the headache out of shopping. I hate going to the store, as many of us do. And I use Thrive
as much as I can to get all of my orders straight to my door. Thrive Market guarantees its
customers 25 to 50% off below retail on all items because it cuts the middleman out. Thrive
all Skinny Confidential, him and her listeners, 25% off your first order and free shipping

thrivemarket.com slash skinny. Happy shopping and enjoy that barbecue chicken pizza. I first
saw Dr. Diamond, you know what I'm going to say, on Dr. 90210. Is that what it was called? Dr. 92010.
Yeah, that was back in 2000. Like the television show? Yes. Okay. Yeah. So tell us about how you got there.
So Dr. 1902 and O, okay, that was, I think the first year of Dr. 902 and O was, I think, 2002.
They had their first season, and it was created by a plastic surgeon named Robert Ray.
He was the guy who wore the cutoff sleeves and did all the karate and stuff.
It was his idea.
He's a very creative guy, and he came up with this idea to have this show, and it was a huge hit.
I was not on it that first season.
Their first season was eight half-hour episodes.
And it was this huge hit.
So they got picked up for a second season, and they went, they got picked up, they went
from eight half-hour episodes to 13 one-hour episodes.
So they more than doubled their airtime.
So they needed to add, quote-unquote, talent.
I always laughed that people call me talent on these teams, but they had to add people.
But you were actually a practicing doctor?
Yes.
I had just started.
I just started my practice.
I was in practice for a year.
I think I started my practice the same year that came out, maybe six months.
before that show came out, I had just started.
And so when they got picked up for their extra air time, they needed to add plastic surgeons
to feature.
They needed to fill that time.
And so they were looking for a woman, and they interviewed the 20 potential, you know, pretty,
you know, camera-friendly female plastic surgeons that were in the Southern California area.
And they liked Linda Lee, who has become a friend of mine, great doctor and great person.
and they were looking for the quote unquote the hot shot up and comer that was the other role
they wanted to fill and they interviewed the 20 or 30 people that were appropriate for that and they
heard my name as one of those guys and they came and interviewed me and they liked me for that part
and I got that I got that role and again the rest is history that's what is it like being a year
into your practice and being thrown on television in Beverly Hills and becoming like the hot plastic
surgeon, I can only imagine your office has like a line up the door.
They're like, this guy has the golden ratio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was pretty crazy.
And actually, it was quite interesting because at the time, it was a different time.
I mean, it's crazy to think.
Like, I still feel like I'm, I still feel like I just moved to L.A., but yet I'm now
like one of the old guys.
Like, it's crazy to me that that was 20 years ago.
Like, I'm no longer.
So the reality is it's a whole different world now.
And I feel so old.
that it's just so weird to wrap my brain around that but it was a different time and at that
time there was no social media marketing was considered extremely taboo at that time doctors
didn't market they didn't market marketing was considered taboo in the doctor's profession in the doctor
profession if you marketed it was equivalent to the ambulance chasing lawyer if you marketed you were
considered just a the bottom of the barrel the the bottom of the food chain if you marketed okay
there were a few plastic surgeons that were marketing at the time and they were considered by the medical
community bottom of the barrel they were just the low at the lowest of the low end that's what it was
considered at the time and this show came out and it was a little different because it wasn't so much
marketing it was a show but yet there was still a lot of taboo about being on the airwaves about doing
this there were and you know because I wasn't on that first season but I heard all the doctors the
local doctors talk about it and they were like, you know, just taking every, but they were taking
every shot they could at Robert Ray and the few doctors who had made appearances on it. It was all about
him that first season, but there were cameos from other doctors, but every doctor in the community
was taking shots at those guys trying to knock them down. And I'm sure there was a lot of jealousy
involved too. And I was just getting started and getting the feel of the lay of the land. So I didn't
really have much of an opinion on it. But there was one thing I knew. I knew that my mentors wouldn't
approve of it. I knew that.
because I learned from like, I spent a lot of time studying with the most famous top guys in the field for two years before I opened up my practice.
I just went, I traveled a lot and learned from the best to the best.
So I was learning from these like old school, you know, purists, these, these old guys.
And the thought of even, these guys wouldn't even have like their number listed in the phone book.
I mean, this was like, you know, you did it.
their thought was you do it all based on time and word of mouth and good work and reputation that's
built from the ground up and that's how that's how it was done and these were the guys that I respected
the most and these were my mentors so I knew they wouldn't approve number one that's going to be
difficult because these are guys you look up to and at some level you want their approval and you
want them to be proud of you absolutely absolutely I wanted these guys I wanted their approval
I wanted them to be proud of me and you know I wanted them yeah absolutely so I knew so I knew
that. Number two, the other thing was, I knew my work would blow away anything that was seen in
season one. I knew that too, because I, you know, look, Robert, Robert Ray starred this show,
and he does a million breasts and he's great at those things, but he was doing some face stuff
on that show, too, and he wasn't a face expert, and he'll be the first to tell you. I mean,
he's referred me a million face things over the years, and I've referred him breast things,
but he'll be the first to tell you he's not a face expert, but he was doing some facial things
and some of the other guys were doing some facial things,
and here I was, I had the top techniques,
and I was already getting great results.
I knew my results would blow away anything that the airwaves have ever seen for facial work.
I knew that, too.
And so I was torn between do I, you know, upset my mentors
and how I would feel about that versus having, like, show the world
what really the top techniques could deliver.
And so what was the ultimate decision maker?
Well, I knew that I knew that there would be a lot of good that came from being on there.
I knew there'd be bad.
I knew there were conflicting.
There was pluses and minuses, but I believe that the pluses that weighed the minuses.
But I had to convince my wife, she said, don't do it.
My nurse at the time, who was my right-hand man, had been in the business for 25 years and worked with a lot of these top guys.
And she was very influential on me and helped me start my prideus.
Both beautiful blondes, if I remember correctly.
This nurse you hadn't met, she's already left, but she was beautiful too.
She said absolutely not.
So the two most important people to me at the time, as far as my business and my life, both said,
absolutely not.
You can't do this because they knew of the taboo.
They knew that you weren't supposed to do this.
But I said, you know what?
We're going to show the world what first-rate facial surgery is like and it's going to change
everything.
And I made that decision and we did it.
And that's exactly what happened.
And I think, like I like to tell people, we were sort of part of the revolution.
Like before this show came out, I think most of the world thought plastic surgery was just for
Hollywood celebrity, rich, famous Hollywood celebrities who didn't care to look weird.
Like, everyone thought of Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers and all these craziness.
If you lived in Middle America, that's what you thought of plastic surgery.
And I knew that we would be able to change that.
And I think that we did.
because now the rest of the country, this was a very popular show.
It was seen, not only, I've seen like 150 countries,
but all these viewers viewing this show
saw these perfectly natural face results,
these perfectly natural rhinoplasty results.
People look beautiful, but like themselves,
undetectable type of work.
And all of a sudden, I was getting emails
from other plastic surgeons in the middle of the country thanking me.
They were telling me their practices have blown up
because now people are like,
oh my God, you can get a natural,
looking nose. It doesn't have to look like Michael Jackson knows. You can get a natural
facelift. I don't have to look like Joan Rivers. So I think it helped really make plastic
surgery mainstream. I think our show really did that. And I think it helped other plastic surgeons
worldwide. And I think it helped the population realize if something bothers them that affects their
self-esteem negatively, that they can really have it fixed in a very safe, natural way that's
going to benefit their life. And then social media comes in.
And this is years after the showers, right?
Social media came in.
So when Dr. 902 and O was on the air, I became, when people start, all of a sudden,
it was so weird, people started recognizing me all over the place, airports, traveling.
I mean, people started.
So interestingly, at that time, maybe two or three years into Dr. 902 and O, Facebook had come out.
I think MySpace was first, but I didn't use that.
Then Facebook came out.
And I remember, I would get, no joke, 20.
30 Facebook requests a day.
And I didn't accept one of them.
I didn't do it for...
Like friend requests or just people reaching out asking...
People reaching out, friend requests, all...
Like, I mean, on a daily basis, maybe more.
It was just...
It may have been hundreds.
I don't know.
It was tons of...
And I didn't do it.
I just like, I don't need this stuff.
And I just, I didn't do it for this one up for like three years.
So, but that was becoming a thing.
Probably whatever.
You guys probably know as well as me.
Face...
I mean, we're probably talking 2007.
2006, 2007, somewhere in that range, and I didn't do it.
But so I didn't get involved in social media because I was late, again, similar to my thought
process on, you know, marketing is taboo.
Even though I was on this show, I still am like an old school guy in that respect.
And I was very late to the game in social media.
So I didn't start doing Instagram, I think, until like two years ago.
It was a lot of people were doing it.
And a lot of plastic surgeons start hopped on that as well as the Facebook years ago well before I did it.
The thing that made me start Facebook, I mean start Instagram.
I don't even do we, we do Facebook now, don't we?
I don't even know.
I've never seen our Facebook page.
I think we have one, but Tammy runs it.
Tammy, you're doing a great job.
Incredible job.
Tammy, you're killing it.
But I do look at the Instagram.
I do check that.
So I understand the importance of Instagram.
I still don't even understand.
Honestly, just show how stupid I am.
I don't even understand what Facebook does.
Like I know what Instagram is.
I understand how to use it and what you get from it.
I've never looked at a Facebook page, not mine, not anyone.
But you're delegating it.
So you're outsourcing it.
So it's still great.
Right.
It's still great.
But the point is, so I digress.
So I got sidetracked.
So I was in Dubai and I was seeing a very famous Dubai, like Middle Eastern person.
She was on what Arabia has talent or Dubai.
This person flies you out to Dubai?
I was going to Dubai.
I was going Dubai to take care of some people,
to take care of some high in people.
Yeah, Michael, he works.
Don't you work some of the time in Dubai?
I don't, I mean, I've been there.
I don't know how this works.
We won't have to get into details about who it is,
but some of the things say, hey, listen, Dr. Diamond,
I need, we need to get out here.
Yeah, Dubai is huge for plastic surgery.
We're not coming over there, and then you're like,
okay, and you pack up all your gear
and you head out and you got a whole facility set up.
It's kind of how it worked.
Like, we, you know, I had, based on the show in itself.
No, people, people, yeah, people have sent planes before.
So, for sure.
Private planes?
Yeah.
Goal streams?
People have sent private planes, yes, yes.
Yes, for long trips, yes.
Fuck, I got in the wrong racket.
Yes, yes.
So, but because I had a big Middle Eastern following from being exposed on that show,
because Dr. 90210, I aired in the Middle East, so a lot of these royalty knew who I was,
and they wanted me to do their work.
So a lot of them were coming here.
And, you know, L.A. is in the summertime, is one of the most highly traveled places
by the Middle Eastern royalty.
Now with the travel bands,
and stuff. It's changed the last two years, but before that, there were tons of Middle East
nurses who traveled here for their summer. So I was taking care of loads. And finally,
enough people worked it out so I could go over there and help take care of them over there.
So I was going over there from time to time. Let me ask you this. This is, we're digressing here,
but you got to be careful with some of those royalty. I mean, if you, not that you would,
but if you screw up one of these jobs, you get a lot of trouble with some of these guys.
Well, I don't screw around. I mean, I only do things that I know. And if I don't,
home run every time. Yeah. And people will tell, like, I get, you know, unfortunately,
I'm very honest with patients and that unfortunately sometimes upsets them.
Like if I don't think I get a good result, I tell them.
And I, you know, I don't, honestly, I haven't even looked at a Yelp page in three years.
But I used to like every other one else, I'd stress every day what's on the Yelp, you know,
and one back, and I don't even know what's on there now.
I don't even care to be honest with you.
But at the time when I did, three years ago, there was someone who wrote a bad Yelp review on me
because she said, Dr. Dime said I was too fat and wouldn't get a good result.
I want, but I was being on it, and I never used the word fat.
I wouldn't insult somebody, but I think, um, you have to set the expectation at a
realistic level.
I just said, look, you're not going to get what you want.
I can't give you what you want because, you know, and I always tell people because
your anatomy is just not favorable and it's some, and I'm honest with people.
And this lady wrote a terrible review that I was rude and mean.
And I was like, look, I was just being honest and I'm honest with everybody.
So unfortunately that upsets people from time to time, but I'll never do something in
someone I don't think I get a great result on.
So if I know I can get a good result, I'm going to get a good result.
Okay, so you're out in Dubai with the Arabian princesses.
Yeah, Michael.
I derailed.
And it wasn't an area.
This was a celebrity.
This was the, like, the most popular judge on Dubai has talent or Arabia's got talent or one of those.
She was a very, and she said to me, she's like, hey, I'll do an Instagram thing for you.
What's your Instagram?
And I'm like, this was like two years ago.
I'm like, I don't have one.
And she's like, what?
She's like, if I do this thing.
She's like, at the time two years ago, she had like 20 million followers.
She was like one of the biggest in the world at the time.
What's it?
This was five years ago.
Oh, five years ago.
I don't know.
Anyway, whatever it was.
She had a bunch of followers at the time.
And she's like, let me just put this out for you.
And you'll get like, you'll be.
And I said, I don't even have Instagram.
So I called Tammy.
I was in Dubai.
I said, Tammy, this person and her name was Al Shemizi.
She's actually posted so I can say it.
Al Shemizi, I think.
And I'm like, she wants to post something.
Do we have an Instagram?
Tam's like, no, but I'll make one right now.
So she made it right then and there.
And she did a little something for us.
And that's how it's how our Instagram started, however many years ago that was.
So it wasn't that long ago.
And now you guys are utilizing it a lot.
Has that helped with business?
Yeah, now I do utilize it.
Now I understand.
So like I said, the world has changed.
The world is totally changed.
And now it's the way, it's just the way it works.
So even though our forefathers and the guy, my mentors would totally disapprove,
sorry, it's the way the world.
You've got to put your work out there for people to see.
So yes, we use it a lot now.
And fortunately, I've got a lot of influential people who trust my work.
And they readily post for me because they want other people to have that same type of experience.
So we use it a lot.
and it's been very, very good.
What's the wildest request you've had?
I mean, in terms of someone's like, I need you to come here,
or I need you to come here.
I'm trying to think of...
Tammy, do you know?
Oh, well, one...
The craziest thing probably was, yeah, this was for an MTV show.
I can't even remember the name of the show,
but they called and they said they had this guy
who was a body modification guy,
and he had every modification you could have.
He had, you know, the huge earring stretched things.
He had the full nose pierce all over the place.
He had his tongue split down the middle.
All these things I'd seen before.
He had earrings in his eyelids.
Like that I'd never seen before.
He had like metal balls implanted under his form.
I'd never see.
It was just nasty stuff.
But he had something I'd never seen before.
And that was horns implanted in his head.
He had these horns implanted his head to look like a demon or a devil.
And they were silicone horns that somebody put in in some basement.
And crazy enough,
whoever put him in did a surgically skillful job.
Like, I don't know if I could have put him in as well.
It was done by some probably guy like him,
some body modification guy in some basement.
And he did the most skillful job ever.
But the guy wanted him removed out
because he wanted to start like normalizing his life.
So I went in surgically and I removed these silicone horns.
And that was probably the craziest thing I ever did.
The weirdest thing I'd ever did.
But it worked and it made him look more normal.
So that was kind of weird.
I'm a people, people know me.
I'm a very conservative type of surgeon.
I go for very natural results.
I want people to look like themselves.
So I typically don't get, people don't come to me for craziness.
There are doctors who do craziness, and those doctors have those reputations, and they have
those patients.
I typically don't get those people.
I get people who want to look just great and normal.
So it's luckily for me, it's not often someone comes in.
and ask for crazy stuff because it's not my niche and I don't like to do it.
And whenever I get stuff like that, we usually send it away.
What are some trends that you're seeing right now?
Like how is social media, obviously Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, they're sort of changing
the conversation.
I feel like what are trends that you see people coming in for more and more?
Yeah.
So, yeah, there are those, man, the Kardashians, they're just amazing family and they are
in the forefront of beauty and fashion.
And I mean, they are influencers and they deserve every bit of every accolated and
every reward they've ever had they deserve because they're just they're there's an awesome group of
people and they're generous and they're smart and they're they're knowledgeable and they're just they're just
awesome so um they have influenced the world they really have and um and it's amazing to be a part of that
uh i think the one of the biggest things i've seen is people embracing that they can make changes
younger um people don't now know now know that they don't need to wait till they're 60 to
dress something that bothers them. If something bothers them when they're in their 20s, 30s,
then it's okay to have that addressed. And I make the analogy to everybody. To me,
people often ask, well, isn't it vain or isn't it, you know, shouldn't you accept what God gave
you? Well, my answer to that is, right now as we speak, what would be our guess is to how many
people are in a gym right now worldwide? A billion? Right now, there's probably a billion people
exercising somewhere, at minimum, maybe more. And why are they exercising? They're exercising to,
what reduce a fat, to get a six-pack, to slim out their thighs, to improve their biceps,
whatever the reason is.
And that's because people want to improve their self-esteem and want to feel better about
themselves.
Well, the face, you can't exercise away.
You can't exercise to make those types of changes.
So what's the difference between exercising to get a six-pack or doing a little filler to
to your chin to create a better chin shape and improve the weakness that you have, right?
To me, it's the same exact principle and the same concept.
So I think that what the Kardashians are a big part of making people realize, like, you can improve things at any age.
If it bothers you, that you can improve it.
And so I think that's the biggest change that I've seen is people coming in and understanding that coming in at younger ages to address things that bother them.
The biggest thing for me, and I think that this is, if there's a takeaway from me, and what it makes me happy is that we're, I think we're getting to a place where if somebody wants to do something, people are supportive.
Like, okay, you do you.
If that makes you happy, if you feel more confident, then do it.
I hope that we're getting away from a place of society where it's like this person did that and then everyone jumps on to judge them and puts them down like I think that's a very unhealthy space and you wouldn't you're right you wouldn't do that to somebody who's in the gym trying to improve in that area I mean something you may be somebody that you know your nose doesn't bother you so you don't think about it but if someone's nose they look at it every day in the mirror and saying I don't like the nose that I was given like they should have the right to go and get something done and that should be their sole decision it shouldn't it should have nothing to do with anyone else thinks I don't know why anyone cares what anyone else does well for a lot of
long time it was really taboo right like you do something and people would you know you'd be in the news or
if you're a famous person or if you did something and your group of friends found out they would talk
everybody has to talk about and I just think like that's really unhealthy as a society because who really
cares I mean listen there's the extreme examples where people maybe take it too far and I'm sure you've
seen a lot of that where it's like well slow down you're you're you're going over the edge but
for somebody that just wants to make a minor change to feel more confident I don't think there's anything wrong
with it and there's definitely and what you say I agree with you 100% the one the one the one
exception to that is somebody who's not psychologically sound and there's a there's a you know most people
by now have heard of body dysmorphic disorder but that's where somebody doesn't see themselves
appropriately they see something that other people don't see and they obsess on fixate on certain things
and those people will have a hundred procedures to that's a different story those people need psychological
help not surgical help and so that's the only caveat happens if someone like that comes in to see you
Yeah, and I do see, I'd say I probably see a person a month like that maybe, and I'll just,
and I just tell them, listen, I don't think I can help you. And I'll, as gently as I can say,
you know, there's, you know, try to point them in the direction of maybe seeking psychological help
for, you know, obsessing on certain things. And some people will accept that and other people
will get upset that I, you know, talk to them about that. But I'm not going to do anything that's
not going to help somebody. And so that's the only exception. But other than that, normal people,
hey, this bump on my nose affects my self-esteem.
I don't like my pictures.
To have that fixed, to me is as honest and appropriate as going to the gym to get in shape.
I know that you specialize in the face, but how are you seeing a lot of BBLs?
I feel like I'm seeing that everywhere.
What the hell is a BBL?
Brazilian butt lift.
So, right.
So I don't do that type of work, but I do have people ask quite often who they should go to for that.
So it's definitely something that's out there.
from what I have been told, it's decreasing in its popularity a little recently.
And maybe those fashion icons who make that popular have now gone a different direction
and what they're saying about it.
I'm not sure because I don't do that work.
But certainly it's a very popular thing.
And people ask all the time.
So I refer them to someone who I know does good work in that regard.
Okay.
So if someone comes in to you for your face, what would you recommend that they need to do?
Do they just come in and talk with you?
Do they need like a checklist?
If someone maybe can't have access to you and there may be in Minnesota,
is there a list that they should ask their doctor before they get anything done?
I guess if you were giving advice to your daughter,
what would you tell her before seeing someone that specializes in the face?
Yeah, so for me, I tell everybody, anything I do is predicated on an exam.
I got to see you first.
Now, we take care of probably half of my practice comes from outside of L.A.
probably 50% of the people I see from different countries, different states.
So we have a lot of people who we will Skype with first and we'll do a full Skype exam.
And I'll spend as much time as I can evaluating them that way.
But I tell them all, listen, what I see on Skype, I think you're a good candidate for these things.
But there's a chance you get here.
And when I put my hands on your face, I tell you, you know what?
I don't think I can give you what I thought I can give you.
So I tell everybody with that caveat that you may get here and I may turn you down.
But Skype, I would say if I had to put a number on it, is probably 85% accurate.
I'm probably accurate 85% of the time, meaning my hands will feel what I think they're going to feel based on the Skype.
But I won't do anything without examining that person first and talking to them first.
If the leader of North Korea wants to fly you out to examine his face, what would you tell him first?
What's his preliminary exam?
Yeah.
What type of plane does the leader of North Korea need to send?
Has to be something nice to go there.
To go there?
Yeah, I'd have to bring Dennis Rodman with me because I know I'm safe then.
I heard that guy throw some wild parties over there.
I don't doubt it.
I don't doubt it at all.
So if someone's going, if someone's listening, like I said, and they want to, they can't go to you, what kind of checklist should they ask their doctor?
Should they ask anything?
Obviously board certified, right?
Is that how you call it?
Yeah, so, so basically the question you're asking is how do you find someone who's appropriate for you?
Like you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, I think it's important to find somebody who's board certified.
in their specialty.
And this world, again, it's, it always surprises me that the public at large still doesn't
understand what board certification is.
There's all kinds of perversions of that term that aren't real.
So the real board certifications for facial surgery, there are really two specialties
that can be board certified to do facial work.
a board certified plastic surgeon and a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
And I would, if it were me and I'm informing somebody, I would have them understand what
those two terms mean if you just do a quick Google search.
Because those are the two specialties where you are truly recognized as a board certified
specialist, meaning you've passed the appropriate exams, you've met all the requirements
for understanding the facial anatomy.
So what does that leave?
that leaves a whole bunch of other specialties that are not the same,
but they use sexy terms like board certified cosmetic surgeon.
Board certified cosmetic surgery is different.
It's not to say there can't be good board certified cosmetic surgeons,
but it's not the same thing.
You don't have to have the same qualifications.
It can be people outside of different specialties.
I mean, you know, OBGYNs can be board certified cosmetic surgeons,
all different kinds of different specialties.
So my recommendation would be to see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or board-certified
plastic surgeon to have your facial work done.
That would be my first recommendation.
And I just wouldn't veer outside that.
You take on, you just hear about it.
That's the best I can say about it.
But I think at this point, the buyer has to do some of their own work.
They've got to take responsibility for their decision.
decisions to some degree and understand really what the training is of who it is that they're
seeing. It just becomes because somebody advertises a certain way, doesn't mean that they have
the, this, the skillful training to give you the best results possible. But board certified
plastic surgeons, board certified facial plastic surgeons are the appropriate specialties to see
for your facial work. Okay. Okay. If someone's in LA and they want to come to you, what are
some procedures that you really specialize in? So the most common
procedures that I perform are
facelifts, rhinoplasties.
I'm coming to you, I told you, and when I get older for a
face lift. In 20 years, yeah, yeah, maybe 30 for you.
30, okay, yeah, yeah, maybe 30. Maybe next week
for me. Sorry, go ahead.
So probably the most common
surgeries I perform would be, you know, facial
rejuvenation surgeries, which include
just making people look more youthful. That's tightening
the neck and jaw line with facelifts, necklifts,
noses, rhinoplasties, reshaping the nose.
Those are probably the most common surgeries that I perform.
Probably one of our signature things,
and I have people come from all of the world for those things.
One of the signature things that I perform that is a unique procedure
that is unique to our practice.
It's called the Diamond Tripartite procedure,
and that is my way of using customized facial implants
where I actually get CT scans of the face
and create implants that are customized.
to an individual and combining that with some deep lasering and some deep muscle tightening to create
the most contour and the most chiseled appearance that I can give for somebody.
Symmetry for the face.
Symmetry for the face.
Sculpting for the face.
Now we do it non-surgically as well, but this is the surgical.
So there's a surgical tripartite and a non-surgical tripartite.
But the surgical tripartite is the most powerful way there is for like a, you know, a
35 year old to say I need a more, I'm just, don't have the, I want the Brad Pitt neck and jawline.
And it's the most powerful way to do that. And it's scarless. There's no, it's not a facelift. A
facelift is a different thing. That's tightening the muscles and tightening the skin. Here we're
talking about enhancing and sculpting the facial structure. So it's very powerful. It's one of my
favorite things to do. And we do it surgically and non-surgically. Surgically is, of course,
a permanent, significant change.
Non-surgically, we do it in the office with what we call a diamond facial sculpting.
It's my non-surgical way to enhance and sculpt the face.
So those would be my unique sort of signature procedures.
And so that combined with facelifts and rhinoplasties would probably be the most common things that I do.
Going back to the beginning, your buddy that had face trauma, how much of your practice now, if any,
deals with trauma, someone that's been in like some kind of terrible accident or got their face matched in.
And then obviously the, I don't want to, not vanity, but for aesthetics.
So how much, somebody come to you and say, hey, this guy was just in a really bad accident and we need to fix his face.
Like, how often do you see that now?
That's a great question.
I don't see as much reconstructive work anymore for facial fractures.
And the reason is because that usually requires a university setting.
Okay.
And once you get into private practice the way I am, we're just not involved.
with the universities anymore.
And so I don't do much of that anymore.
I still do nasal reconstructions.
People have had their nose broken badly or, you know, that kind of thing,
because that doesn't require as much of the university situation.
So I still do that.
People bring you into consult ever?
I will get people to ask just from, you know,
if they're going to do something, what I think cosmetically would make sense
from a balance standpoint, even though I'm not going to do the procedure.
So, you know, I used to do a lot of that, but I don't really anymore.
You did Chris Jenner's ears on keeping up.
with the Kardashians.
So you just cut the lobe off the ear.
I just reshape the earlobe.
Yeah, there's certain techniques to reshape in earlobe.
After certain procedures or with aging, the earlobes can get a little funky looking or a little
wonky looking or a little just aged looking.
I'll be checking your earlobes tonight to see if you need that.
Yeah, there are methods to reshape that.
So, yeah, so we did that for Chris.
And I can say that just, I can only talk about what was aired.
What, you know, I can only talk about what people posed and what people air.
And that's what we, yeah.
So that's what we did.
What is a book, a resource, a podcast, anything that you would recommend to our audience?
Maybe they're out there.
They're listening.
They're hustlers.
Some of them are working nine to five.
Some of them are entrepreneurs.
What's something that you really, really like that set the tone of your life?
Could be a book, podcast, movie, TV show.
That's really a good question.
And it doesn't have to be so, like it could be anything.
Like even something like lighthearted.
Well, my, well, my favorite.
I think my favorite poem would be Lord Alfred Tennyson's story about Ulysses, and it starts to strive to seek to find and not to yield.
That's how Ulysses tries to amp up his troops that are going to go on a long, dangerous, glorious, potentially expedition.
and the warrior king, that's how he, that's how he start to strive to seek to find and not to yield.
And I've always loved that.
That amps, meaning like, just keep you say it in your head.
You never stop.
And that's how, that's my mindset of how I've always been.
I will, even to this day, I will just not stop trying to become better, trying, striving for perfection.
Just I won't stop trying to learn and get better.
And that's just the way I am.
Even that's how I started in med school.
It's how I went through residency.
It's how I was in the beginning of my career.
And it's even what drives me to this day, that type of mindset.
And it's one of the things I think has led me to rise to the place that I've gotten to because I think like that.
That's how my brain works.
