[00:00:04]on Atlanta Plastic. You may recognize me from Little Women Atlanta. I may be tiny, but I do not want tiny boobs.

[00:00:12]>> This doesn't look right.

[00:00:13]>> Show us a new ring.

[00:00:15]>> I can't believe it.

[00:00:16]>> I need to be the competition to find love.

[00:00:20]>> Drop your robe.

[00:00:21]>> Oh my god.

[00:00:23]>> It just kind of really broke me.

[00:00:24]>> Both my breasts were removed.

[00:00:26]>> I have a personal cancer experience. Oh crap.

[00:00:30]>> Bed bugs ate my butt.

[00:00:32]>> Wait, look at this.

[00:00:34]>> You can drop your robe.

[00:00:35]>> Holy >> Alicia Mcnite Baron have failure to appear warm for your arrest.

[00:00:40]>> It's a huge blow to wear.

[00:00:55]>> Hey.

[00:00:55]>> Hello. How are you?

[00:00:57]>> Good. I'm here to see Dr. Crawford.

[00:00:59]Perfect sign in for him. Okay.

[00:01:01]>> My name is Bri. I may be tiny, but I do not want tiny boobs. Life as a little person can be challenging at times. But my mom like prepared me for it. She was like, "Okay, you're different, so people are going to make fun of you." So, I grew thick skin and I was okay for a long time. For the first time in my life, I am not happy with my body. After my pregnancy, my boobs shrunk from a double D down to a B. They kind of like deflated. And now they make me feel insecure. You want some?

[00:01:28]>> Want some?

[00:01:29]>> I want my boobs done because I want to feel confident so I can help my son.

[00:01:33]Feel good for being a little person like my mom did for me. Bri, you ready?

[00:01:38]>> Yep.

[00:01:39]>> It is very important for me to find the right surgeon cuz I'm a little person.

[00:01:42]Like I'm different. You had to do certain things operating on me. It's very different than average height person.

[00:01:48]>> Well, tell me what brings you in.

[00:01:50]>> I came in today to see if I can get my breasts done.

[00:01:53]>> Okay. Talk to me about your breasts. I have a 2-year-old and when I got pregnant, my boobs went the whole way up to a double D.

[00:02:01]>> Wow. Okay.

[00:02:01]>> And now they went down. They like deflated basically.

[00:02:05]>> Okay.

[00:02:06]>> Bri has the same issues that any other woman would after having a baby. Their breasts have deflated after child birth and they just want their bodies back.

[00:02:13]>> How do you feel about her getting implants?

[00:02:15]>> I'm a little older so I didn't seen plenty of boobs. So, you know what I'm saying? I don't I want her to be happy.

[00:02:21]>> He thinks he's seen a lot of boobs. Does he know who he's talking to?

[00:02:25]>> I'm trusting you here.

[00:02:26]>> All right, I got you.

[00:02:27]>> You know what you would like to look at, so you know what I'm saying? I'm hoping you do the right thing.

[00:02:31]>> Yeah, we'll take bad, man.

[00:02:33]>> No, we'll take care of we'll take care of >> I got you.

[00:02:36]>> Have you ever like worked on a little person before?

[00:02:38]>> I have. I have. I've worked on little people before.

[00:02:41]>> The challenge that we might encounter when we operate on little people is the airway may be smaller. Her chest width is a little bit narrower than an averagesized woman. Sometimes there may be smaller airways and little people.

[00:02:54]Our anesthesia doctors work on all types of patients and so they will be prepared.

[00:02:59]>> That makes me feel a lot comfortable.

[00:03:01]>> Okay.

[00:03:01]>> Yeah.

[00:03:02]>> So, if you guys are ready, just come with me and then we'll get you back in exam room and and take a look.

[00:03:06]>> Okay.

[00:03:06]>> All right.

[00:03:11]>> Hey, how you doing?

[00:03:12]>> Good. How are you?

[00:03:13]>> I have an appointment with Dr. Jones.

[00:03:15]>> Okay. If you just want to sign in right there. My name is Da. I'm 37 years old and bed bugs ate my butt. I'm very self-conscious about the indentation and scars on my butt. When I look in the mirror and I see the scars, I feel a little depressed, even sad. It just reminds me of everything that happened.

[00:03:31]>> So, you're a little nervous?

[00:03:32]>> A lot nervous. I think it'll be all right. 5 years ago, I spent the night in a hotel in Vegas. When I woke up in the morning, my back and my butt were covered in bed butt bites. I didn't think much of it at the time, but what happens in Vegas obviously don't stay there.

[00:03:47]When I got home, I ended up having emergency surgery to get rid of the flesheating bacteria, which was literally eating my butt cheek. I tried to cover the scars and the indentation with my tattoos, but they still bother me a lot. I always have layers of shirts, layers of clothes after everything like home stretch, right?

[00:04:10]This whole thing has caused me a lot of emotional pain, but it's also left me with some residual physical pain as well. One of the biggest drawbacks uh of all of this is that I love riding motorcycles and it cuts out of my riding time.

[00:04:25]>> It's really uncomfortable for you to ride. That's pretty much what you're saying.

[00:04:28]>> Like sharp shooting pain in my right butt cheek.

[00:04:31]>> Yeah. Excited. You guys ready to go back?

[00:04:33]>> Oh yeah. Hopefully this will work out and I can finally put the whole bed bug trauma behind me and move on with my life.

[00:04:40]>> Hello.

[00:04:41]>> I'm Da.

[00:04:41]>> Have a seat. Okay. So, what brings you in?

[00:04:45]>> Well, I got bit by bed bugs and the bed bug bites were infected from the dirty sheets at the hotel. So, I ended up with a hole in my butt cheek. Flesh thinning bacteria does not just occur from insect bites, but it can occur from any break in the skin that creates an injury where this aggressive bacteria comes into the body and eats away at the tissue.

[00:05:05]>> If it would have been one more day without it being treated, then my whole right ass cheek would have been gone.

[00:05:10]>> That's an interesting story.

[00:05:12]>> It's almost like a a handle like you can grab it.

[00:05:16]>> I'm not putting my hand inside the hole.

[00:05:18]>> I've had patients complain about their love handles, but a butt handle that's new. So, how does this affect you in your daily life?

[00:05:26]>> I belong to a motorcycle club. So, when I sit too long, it hurts.

[00:05:30]>> I was in a motorcycle club.

[00:05:32]>> What?

[00:05:33]>> Yeah. We were called One Wheel Motion.

[00:05:35]Whenever I find something in common with a patient, there's a little bit of a bond there. I hope I can help her out.

[00:05:40]>> So, I ended up getting a dragon tattooed over it. My tattoos are really important to me. So, I would really love if they could be saved.

[00:05:48]>> So, I really have to see this to see if I can do all of that. What we need to do is get you in the exam room and I'll take a look and we'll go from there.

[00:05:56]>> Sounds good.

[00:05:56]>> Sounds great.

[00:05:57]>> Hopefully Dr. Jones can ease some of my pain with my scars and help me get back on my bike and ride.

[00:06:08]>> How are you?

[00:06:09]>> I'm doing well, thank you.

[00:06:10]>> Sign in for me.

[00:06:11]>> All righty.

[00:06:12]>> My name is Pam. After battling cancer, I'm ready to get back to normal. I had a bilateral mastectomy which means they removed both of my breasts. At this point in my reconstruction, I have tissue expanders in. These tissue expanders are really limiting my lifestyle right now. Hey guys, I think I may need to stop for a second and catch my breath. They basically push your pectoral muscle out. I feel tightness in my chest. I can feel the hard plastic.

[00:06:42]It's been a constant source of pain since the mastctomy. All right, another day. Another day we'll do the trick. All right, thanks guys. I'm sorry. Cancer can be a bully if you let it. But I have found strength that I had no idea that I had.

[00:06:58]>> Pam, you ready?

[00:06:59]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:07:00]>> Come on back.

[00:07:01]>> This has been a difficult journey. It really has. And I need this reconstruction in order for me to feel like a real complete woman again.

[00:07:14]Good to see you again.

[00:07:15]>> Hi to see you.

[00:07:15]>> How are you?

[00:07:16]>> I'm doing well.

[00:07:17]>> My history with Pam is that I came in after her mastctomy and placed tissue expanders in her breast cavities. It's probably been about 4 months since your mastctomies.

[00:07:27]>> Yes.

[00:07:27]>> The tissue expanders are placed after the breast tissue has been removed in order to preserve a lot of that skin for the reconstruction. Once you get that diagnosis, it's like, you know, what am I going to do? Am I going to go lock myself in a closet and cry, you know, forever, right? Or am I just going to continue to live the rest of my life like Pam? I have a personal cancer experience. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with stage 4 large bell lymphoma, non-hodkins.

[00:07:54]It's a huge blow to what you know as normal life, you know, to where Okay, y'all.

[00:08:10]I take from my experience that I can relate to my patients in in that regard.

[00:08:16]You know, I just know what it's like to be on that receiving end. Tell me a little bit about how things have been feeling, you know, during the whole expansion process.

[00:08:24]>> It feels like like rubber bands across your chest, Neil, and that's uncomfortable. it does feel um hard >> is because the expanders are they have a firmer shell than you know a regular permanent implant. Okay? You know that's really to help kind of push that skin out and so that's a lot of the discomfort that you may feel >> and so we're planning right now to remove your expanders and replace them with your permanent implants. Do you have any desire on the shape and look of your breasts?

[00:08:52]>> I'm very active. Dave and I enjoy cycling, yoga, so I don't want to feel encumbered. I'll, you know, look at your measurements and then we can pick a desired size.

[00:09:03]>> Okay.

[00:09:03]>> You know, to kind of get you to still be able to be active and free and not have, you know, boobs bouncing up in your face.

[00:09:09]>> Yeah, that's great. That's great.

[00:09:17]>> Do you think this will help our relationship at all? You're going my butt if I you have to. I ain't really with the butt wiping, but you know, it is what it is.

[00:09:25]>> My arms are shorter than average people.

[00:09:26]>> It's cool. I used to work at a nursing home, so not really trippy.

[00:09:31]>> Hey. Hey.

[00:09:32]>> Hello.

[00:09:32]>> How we doing?

[00:09:33]>> Good.

[00:09:34]>> Bree's here today to discuss her deflated breast and to discuss options that will restore the volume that she lost when she had her child.

[00:09:45]Um, looking at the dimensions of Bree's chest, I'm really not sure if I'll be able to give her what she wants.

[00:09:59]Hi, I'm here to see Dr. Jones. My name is Deborah. No one could have told me 20 years ago that I would be 45, divorced twice, living in an apartment. Nobody.

[00:10:13]I've been unhappy with my body for the last, I would say, 10 years. My heaviest weight was 305. In 2005, I had a gastric bypass. It left a lot of unwanted skin.

[00:10:26]The left side of my breast is a lot larger than the right side. A lot of times I shower in the dark. I get dressed in the dark, so I just don't have to see them. With the second divorce, it just kind of really broke me because the divorce was his decision.

[00:10:42]So, it kind of compounded all of the negative feelings I have about my body.

[00:10:47]>> My whole thing is this, you know, I want to get back into the dating world. I want to be able to be really, really confident, go out on a date. The competition is fierce in Atlanta. The ratio to men to women, you're doing good if you get a man that only has two women. Yeah, it's difficult. I've been on a couple of dates, but I don't allow it to go any further than that because I'm afraid that anyone who sees me with my clothes off is going to run for the hills.

[00:11:15]>> Deborah.

[00:11:15]>> Yeah.

[00:11:16]>> Ready to go back?

[00:11:16]>> Yes.

[00:11:17]>> Okay, you two can follow me.

[00:11:18]>> I definitely want to find love, but I want the type of body that gives me the confidence to be able to go out and get it.

[00:11:27]>> What are you here for?

[00:11:28]>> Well, I had a gastric bypass, so it left a lot of skin that I just want to get rid of. Okay.

[00:11:35]>> Also, I have this issue with my breasts.

[00:11:38]They're they're kind of lopsided.

[00:11:39]>> So, how has this been affecting your life?

[00:11:42]>> Um, well, I am going through a divorce.

[00:11:44]I have two kids in college, so that's another aspect. Oh gosh.

[00:11:50]>> Right. I really want to get back out there and date. And I just think with the body I'm in now, I'm totally not ready for that.

[00:11:58]>> Okay. It's nothing for me.

[00:12:00]>> You're confident.

[00:12:01]>> Yes.

[00:12:01]>> You're the total package. I need to meet the competition to find love, but at this point, I'm not confident enough to do that. Hopefully, this surgery will allow me to do that.

[00:12:11]>> I'll take a look and see what we can do.

[00:12:12]>> Is this when you mark her up?

[00:12:14]>> No, that's that's that surgery. Now, if you just want me to mark you, I can take out a marker and I can draw some >> draw some smiley faces.

[00:12:27]>> Just stand on this step stool. There we go. Now, take a look. Today I'm examining Bri. Trying to determine the appropriate sized implant for a little person is tough. I'm not sure I'll be able to get her exactly what she wants, but I'll do my best. These are normally the sizers that we'd use to help patients understand how much volume we can add to their breasts. I'm not sure this is going to be an accurate assessment for you because your chest wall is a little bit more narrow than what we would ordinarily see. And it's all because you're one in a million.

[00:13:00]Looking at the dimensions of Bree's chest, I can special order the appropriate implant that'll give her the volume and projection she needs without being too wide for her narrow chest.

[00:13:09]>> It'll add more shape to this upper portion of your breast. So that right now where this is concave and flattened, we want to have volume.

[00:13:17]>> My plan for Bri is to perform breast augmentation with an implant that will project enough for her narrow chest.

[00:13:25]>> I got a question.

[00:13:26]>> Fire away.

[00:13:27]>> Bathroom.

[00:13:28]>> Um, what do you mean? Like as far as her, she going to be able to.

[00:13:31]>> Yeah. I hope if she can do it now.

[00:13:34]>> We good then.

[00:13:35]>> The last time I checked, women don't use their breasts to go to the bathroom.

[00:13:39]You're off the hook, Budda.

[00:13:40]>> I'll see you the morning your surgery.

[00:13:42]>> Thank you.

[00:13:43]>> It's great meeting you.

[00:13:44]>> You, too.

[00:13:51]>> So, how you feeling? A >> little nervous. Just a little bit.

[00:13:55]Dian's here today to see if I can help her out with a large indentation on her butt cheek. It was caused by bed bugs and flesheating bacteria. I'm just curious. Can I see it?

[00:14:04]>> All right.

[00:14:04]>> Why should it be like nothing?

[00:14:07]>> It's not going to be just nothing.

[00:14:10]>> Okay, you're right. It's not just nothing.

[00:14:13]>> Now you see what we're talking about.

[00:14:14]>> Yeah, that's what you meant by this. Cuz I can put the tips of my finger in there. When you're sitting, this hurts.

[00:14:21]>> When I sit, it actually hurts. and then it shoots down to about right there.

[00:14:25]>> Okay.

[00:14:25]>> And then it'll stop.

[00:14:26]>> She may be experiencing a lot of pain because of a huge amount of scar tissue which compress on her nerves. Hopefully I can alleviate some of DA's pain by removing this scar. If you want this removed, it's going to really change that tattoo.

[00:14:40]>> So that's just that scale portion, which might not be the worst thing.

[00:14:44]>> Yeah.

[00:14:44]>> I got a question.

[00:14:46]>> Mhm.

[00:14:46]>> You think maybe you can make my butt a little bit bigger?

[00:14:49]>> What you mean?

[00:14:51]>> You heard me. Hush. You sit over there.

[00:14:52]be quiet.

[00:14:53]>> We do glutial sculpting all the time.

[00:14:55]So, I could take some fat from here and maybe a little from your belly.

[00:14:58]>> You got some over there, too. You can have that over there, too.

[00:15:00]>> And from your belly and we'll put in your butt.

[00:15:03]>> That would be perfect.

[00:15:05]>> My surgical plan for Da is to excise her scar. Then, I'm going to perform lipo sculpting and transfer that fat into her butttock.

[00:15:13]>> How long is it going to take me to be able to ride?

[00:15:16]>> About 2 weeks, but no willies for 4 weeks. Okay.

[00:15:20]>> We'll hold off on that.

[00:15:29]>> Okay. You ready?

[00:15:30]>> Yeah.

[00:15:31]>> All right. Pam is one of my breast cancer patients who has had tissue expanders placed after mastctomy and now she's here to talk about her upcoming surgery to put permanent implants. We've gotten out all those creases. You have good projection of the expander and your scars have healed up really nicely. I kind of call them Insta breasts. She actually gets to see the size that she potentially wants to be before surgery.

[00:15:58]So your expander looks like this, >> right?

[00:16:01]>> It's filled with water. That's why it feels so tough and firm in your body.

[00:16:06]This is a regular silicone implant. So you can see it's a huge world of difference than the tissue expander.

[00:16:12]Much softer, much more natural.

[00:16:14]>> Much more natural, much more lifelike. I know you've been waiting to touch that.

[00:16:19]>> We're thinking about the shaped one.

[00:16:21]I'll choose one that's a little bit more tapered. But, uh, these come in different profiles, too.

[00:16:27]>> Dave is really having a fun time checking out these implant samples. So, who's getting these implants again? Is it Dave or Pam?

[00:16:35]>> I'm really trying to downsize the appearance of this to maybe about 15 20% of what this size is.

[00:16:41]>> Okay. And I think that would probably put you at what you want. The surgical plan for Pam is to remove her tissue expanders, do some contouring, and place permanent implants. So, right now, Pam's breasts are literally rock hard, but if everything goes well after surgery, all of that pain will be gone.

[00:17:01]>> All righty. Well, I will see you later.

[00:17:04]Right.

[00:17:05]>> All right. Take care. Oh, you still holding on to those things?

[00:17:09]>> All right.

[00:17:14]Hey, good morning.

[00:17:15]>> I'm here for a procedure this morning.

[00:17:17]>> Okay, go ahead and sign in right here for it.

[00:17:19]>> All right. Today is the day I get surgery. I've been through so much hell because of a little ass bug. Biggest hope ever. Dr. Jones can fix my scars and get back on my motorcycle and be able to enjoy it. It really would be a dream come true.

[00:17:33]>> Hello. How are you?

[00:17:35]>> I'm poked up.

[00:17:36]>> You're poked up? Well, you're about to be a little more poked up than that.

[00:17:41]>> So, let's face away from me. Yeah, that way. Today, I'll be performing a complex scar vision over her right glutial region. In addition, she will have lipo suction of her abdomen, flanks, and back and fat graft buttocks. I'm hoping to alleviate some of the pain that she's experiencing by excising the scar that goes deep into her tissues and down to her muscle.

[00:18:03]>> All right, so let's get you back and we'll get going. This pain in the ass has been a true pain in the ass.

[00:18:08]Hopefully in a couple hours that'll be all over.

[00:18:15]Incision. We're staying inside the confines of the tattoo, leaving her tattoo intact as much as possible.

[00:18:23]Hopefully, this operation can dramatically improve DA's life. She may be experiencing pain because of a huge amount of scar tissue which compress on her nerves. So, by removing that scar, she's going to be able to bike without pain, hopefully. And also, the constant reminder of her bed bug experience will be gone. She has a good tattoo artist.

[00:18:44]Look at this. Just a big crater here.

[00:18:51]Wait, look at this. All scar tissue.

[00:18:54]Just a big crater here. My fingers I can get all the way in there. So, it is like a bucket handle. So, we have to fill this all with her dragon tattoo in mind.

[00:19:04]The challenge with raising DA's scar is all centered around contour. We have to excise all of that scar, bring all the tissue together, and leave her with a smooth skin surface that blends in with her butttocks.

[00:19:23]Good job, team. We grafted her butttocks. We revised her scar.

[00:19:28]Hopefully, she'll be happy. I feel that the surgery went well today. Her big scar went an inch and a half deep. So, it was a little bit challenging. Her scar was oddly shaped. Hopefully, by removing that scar, she will be able to live freely without pain.

[00:19:44]>> All right. Thanks everybody.

[00:19:49]>> What you think about Dr. Carpet?

[00:19:51]>> I like him. He made me feel real comfortable.

[00:19:53]>> Why? Cuz he's black.

[00:19:55]>> No.

[00:19:56]>> Why? like how he approached us and everything and knew what he was talking about.

[00:19:59]>> I hope he does cuz I mean he's a doctor and he's putting you under.

[00:20:02]>> UA is my baby daddy. We're kind of not in a relationship, but we're like working on it and he's being here for me through like this major thing that's going on in my life. I'm nervous.

[00:20:14]>> Don't be nervous. I'm here but don't be nervous. No reason to be nervous.

[00:20:18]>> I was worried about like cuz with us little people, it's harder for us to go under. When a little person goes under anesthesia, we have like a smaller airway. So, it's a lot harder for us and there could be a lot more complications when we're under. So, I'm nervous. I'm not going to wake up.

[00:20:35]>> It could be too bad.

[00:20:36]>> I'm going to do lifting. So, I won't be able to lift him for a couple weeks. I can't pick up anything.

[00:20:40]>> That's what I'm here for.

[00:20:42]>> You might have to help me out there.

[00:20:44]>> I got you though on your way back.

[00:20:51]>> Yeah. Hi.

[00:20:52]>> All right. You all set?

[00:20:54]>> Yes.

[00:20:55]>> Why don't we have you stand >> and we'll take the gown down.

[00:21:00]>> So, you got some lipodistrophe. These rolls we have to try to fix here. So, you were talking about some asymmetry.

[00:21:09]>> Mhm. You see it, right?

[00:21:12]>> Yeah.

[00:21:13]>> Yeah.

[00:21:14]>> If I didn't see it, you would be worried, right?

[00:21:16]>> Yeah.

[00:21:16]>> I've seen asymmetrical breasts before, but hers were really different. You have one nipple a lot lower than the other nipple. This breast is a lot larger. And this nipple is not even near the center of your breast at all.

[00:21:28]>> Right.

[00:21:28]>> But some people both of their breasts are down that low.

[00:21:32]>> But I think it's fixable.

[00:21:36]My surgical plan is to do a breast reduction and a lift, an extended tummy tuck and lipo suction.

[00:21:42]There's a big asymmetry there. So it may not be perfect. I'm not God.

[00:21:46]>> But you're close.

[00:21:47]>> Total groupy. Total.

[00:21:49]>> I like her. We'll keep for a while.

[00:21:51]>> Yeah.

[00:21:54]>> Okay.

[00:21:54]>> Thank you.

[00:21:55]>> All right. Welcome.

[00:21:56]>> I almost asked him if he wanted me to put a robe on.

[00:22:04]>> I took my first shower.

[00:22:07]Oh, but I threw up all over the place. I don't know how good that was, but I'm going to lay down for a while.

[00:22:20]Hey.

[00:22:21]>> Hello. How you doing? How are you?

[00:22:22]>> This morning is my surgery. I'm really nervous. Little people whenever they go under our airways are different and there could be a lot more complications.

[00:22:34]>> You nervous.

[00:22:35]>> I know.

[00:22:36]>> See, I'll be trying to go to sleep right now. Your ball cap fitting me good.

[00:22:41]>> This is more like a hairet. I look like a lunch lady.

[00:22:47]Good morning.

[00:22:48]>> How are you?

[00:22:49]>> Good.

[00:22:49]>> Good. You ready? Excited?

[00:22:52]>> Nervous?

[00:22:52]>> Yes.

[00:22:53]>> Okay. You can be ready and excited.

[00:22:55]Don't need to be nervous. Today, Bri is getting breast augmentation with silicone gel implants. She's a mom and she encountered the problem that a lot of moms have after having babies. Her breasts are deflated. Most patients that we have don't weigh 75 lbs. It's a little bit of a struggle on our back moving them after surgery, but for you it'd be kind of a light day.

[00:23:16]>> Bree's a little person and because of that, her chest width is a little bit more narrow than what we would ordinarily see with a breast augmentation. So, I'm using breast implants that are specific to her chest wall.

[00:23:29]>> I'll see you back in the operating room.

[00:23:30]Okay. We're going to take good care of you. Okay.

[00:23:33]>> Hopefully, I'll have normal breast soon and get back the confidence that I used to have.

[00:23:39]The biggest difference when operating on a little person is getting them under general anesthesia. The airway may be smaller than an averagesized woman. So, we need to make sure the airway isn't compromised.

[00:23:50]>> Do I have another 20 or 22 there?

[00:23:54]>> Before surgery, Bri was making a loud breathing sound.

[00:24:00]>> Hold on.

[00:24:01]>> This doesn't look right. We had difficulty managing her airway because of the smaller airways and little people.

[00:24:09]>> She wants to wake up.

[00:24:11]>> I was starting to become concerned.

[00:24:13]>> I didn't want her freaking out.

[00:24:22]Bri was making a loud breathing sound.

[00:24:24]So, I decided to replace the standard breathing tube with pediatric size tubes just to make sure that the surgery is safe.

[00:24:33]>> We're good.

[00:24:37]>> For a little person, breast augmentation is tough. The chest width is often narrowed.

[00:24:44]>> Thank you.

[00:24:44]>> And so that can make it a little difficult to place the breast implant.

[00:24:48]>> Well, this is cute.

[00:24:50]>> Did you say it's cute?

[00:24:52]>> Just cuz I'm used to this. Really? Matt Gaddy ones.

[00:24:57]>> Now I'm going to close the pocket and make sure we have an appropriate shape.

[00:25:01]It just fills up that skin. It adds volume without looking ridiculous. All right, great job everybody. I think she's going to be really, really pleased. Bree surgery went really, really well. I am certain she's going to get the confidence back that she had before her child.

[00:25:24]Bye. Go ahead and sign in and I'll get you back in a second. Okay.

[00:25:28]>> Okay. Great. Thank you. Today is my surgery day and I am nervous. I can't wait to get this underway.

[00:25:36]So, this is really kind of the end of a 2-year journey.

[00:25:40]>> Yeah, I'm looking forward to this being over. The last surgery that she had, she was so scared. They were, you know, wheeling her away. And I just I want I wanted to go back there with her.

[00:25:51]>> Yeah, that was tough. You ready?

[00:25:54]>> Yeah, let's do it.

[00:25:55]>> So, I'm really excited that this is going to be over today. And yeah, I can't wait to see her after surgery.

[00:26:03]>> I am starting to get nervous.

[00:26:05]>> Don't be Don't be nervous. Just relax.

[00:26:07]Think good thoughts.

[00:26:08]>> Hello. How are things?

[00:26:10]>> Doing well. Doing well.

[00:26:11]>> Good. Good. A lot of my patients are breast cancer reconstruction patients and Pamela is one of those. Um, I have a few sizes.

[00:26:20]>> I'm so excited.

[00:26:20]>> Okay.

[00:26:21]>> It's always nice to be able to really really give back and make a change in someone's life when so many things are out of their control when it comes to their health. I'm choosing a little bit of a taller implant so that it kind of fills this area here. Compared to a tissue expander, a permanent silicone implant is much more soft. It's much more comfortable, which will take away a lot of pain that Pam's dealing with. See you guys in a second. Thank you.

[00:26:49]>> The drugs are fast acting.

[00:26:51]>> Oh, they are fast acting.

[00:26:53]>> Yeah.

[00:26:59]So, I'm going to make my incision. Go through my previous access incision.

[00:27:07]See if I can get it out in one piece.

[00:27:08]The challenge for me is trying to remove her expanders through her incision opening so that her scars will be minimal.

[00:27:18]Oh crap.

[00:27:21]Goodness, I almost dropped the baby. The tissue expanders are placed after the breast tissue has been removed. That's her expander. In order to allow some of that skin from the mastctomy to recover and also preserve a lot of that skin for the reconstruction, I've chosen an implant that will fit that diameter of her breast.

[00:27:43]I think that's much nicer. I think she'll be happy with this.

[00:27:48]>> Ah, terrible.

[00:27:53]>> Good morning.

[00:27:54]>> Good morning.

[00:27:54]>> Go ahead and sign it right here for me.

[00:27:56]>> It's the morning of my surgery. I'm nervous. Am I going to be a big crybaby?

[00:28:00]Is there going to be a lot of pain? How am I going to look afterwards?

[00:28:04]>> Doctor, good morning. How are you?

[00:28:07]>> What we need to do is start out by marking you. Okay.

[00:28:09]>> Today we are performing an extended abdominal plasty, the breast lift and reduction.

[00:28:14]>> I think with a little bit of sculpting and fat grafting in the right place, she'll get the volume and the shape that she desires. We'll >> take good care of her.

[00:28:22]>> All righty. Thank you.

[00:28:23]>> This is it.

[00:28:25]>> I'm excited. I'm ready.

[00:28:28]Let's do it.

[00:28:34]>> Incision. The plan is to start with her abdominal plasty. She's has more loose skin to deal with than average patients cuz she's lost such a large amount of weight. Quite a bit for her. It's kind of heavy, too.

[00:28:48]Close her up. Then move to the breast.

[00:28:51]We're going to reduce one side and then we're going to reduce the other side to make it match the abnormal side back grafting in the right places.

[00:29:01]She'll get the volume and the shape that she desires. That way she'll feel prettier and be much more confident.

[00:29:08]>> I heard your boobs look great. You heard that part, didn't you? Yeah.

[00:29:17]>> Things went well with Pamela today. The permanent implants are much softer.

[00:29:21]They're more life.

[00:29:23]>> Alicia Mcnite Baron.

[00:29:25]>> Yes.

[00:29:26]>> Have failure to appear warm for your arrest.

[00:29:29]>> What?

[00:29:32]>> You failed to appear in Fulton County on a traffic charge?

[00:29:34]>> No, I paid that online.

[00:29:36]>> Well, obviously something went wrong.

[00:29:38]>> You're not serious. That >> Don't move. Stay right there. Stay right there.

[00:29:43]I mean, I'll be glad to show you the paperwork. Okay, here you go.

[00:30:00]Yeah.

[00:30:01]>> Oh my goodness.

[00:30:02]>> I appreciate it. No, >> YOU GOT ME. YOU GOT ME.

[00:30:06]>> DANG. I can't believe that he played me like that. Good thing we're at the hospital because I almost had a heart attack.

[00:30:12]>> Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:30:16]DANG. YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS LONG AND HARD, DIDN'T YOU?

[00:30:19]>> BUT IT WAS TIGHT THOUGH.

[00:30:20]>> And boy was it worth it.

[00:30:22]>> Oh my goodness.

[00:30:24]I am so gullible.

[00:30:33]>> Are you ready for this?

[00:30:35]>> I'm ready.

[00:30:35]>> It's been a difficult journey. Cancer takes control of your life.

[00:30:40]>> How are you?

[00:30:41]>> I'm doing well.

[00:30:41]>> I'll go ahead and bring you back. Okay.

[00:30:42]>> Okay. Thank you. And now I'm ready to be back to normal. I can't wait to see the new me.

[00:30:50]>> Hi. How you doing?

[00:30:52]>> Hello. How great to see you.

[00:30:54]>> To no longer have those expanders inside my body is such a relief. They just hurt. They were just miserable.

[00:31:02]>> All righty. So, I think you're doing great. The implants look awesome. Pam has been through so much with breast cancer. So, I really hope that she'll feel like a complete woman again. So basically this was you after your tissue expanders were placed. You could just see how they kind of just jut out from your chest wall and they just don't have a as natural appearance. I was feeling pretty sad looking at the photos.

[00:31:27]Whenever you feel ready, go ahead and take a look at the new you in the mirror behind me.

[00:31:32]>> Okay. All right. You ready?

[00:31:34]>> I'm ready.

[00:31:36]>> Okay. Here we go.

[00:31:40]>> Look at that.

[00:31:40]>> Wow. It's amazing. Wow, they look wonderful.

[00:31:45]>> I've been waiting on this day for a long time.

[00:31:47]>> Yes, Dr. Baron did it. Woohoo.

[00:31:52]Yay.

[00:31:54]>> Thank you. You're welcome.

[00:31:57]>> This has been a really uh long journey.

[00:32:00]The bilateral mastctomy was very traumatic. It definitely took away some femininity, but this surgery has uh given me a huge boost in confidence.

[00:32:12]Pain will be gone now. And to know that I can get just back to doing the things that I enjoy. It feels amazing.

[00:32:20]>> I'm so proud of you. I know this has been very hard.

[00:32:22]>> I love you.

[00:32:24]>> I love you, too.

[00:32:25]>> A I think you're more than ready to proceed with your nipple reconstruction.

[00:32:30]>> You're a rock star, Dr. Barrett.

[00:32:33]As a fellow cancer survivor, knowing what Pam has gone through definitely makes me appreciate a little bit more the fact that she's so happy with her results. I'm >> just so blessed.

[00:32:44]>> A I'm equally blessed. I feel like a real woman again.

[00:32:48]>> Yay.

[00:32:50]>> I'm so excited.

[00:32:56]>> Hi.

[00:32:57]>> Hello. How are you?

[00:32:58]>> Good. How are you?

[00:32:59]>> Good. Today is my final followup with Dr. Jones. Oh my gosh, I'm nervous.

[00:33:04]Hopefully, it's my final appointment and I get to be really confident and just live out loud. I cannot wait to see my new body.

[00:33:14]>> Hello, Dr. J.

[00:33:17]>> You're smiling. How's it going?

[00:33:19]>> It's going great.

[00:33:20]>> I'm going to take a quick little peek today. I want to check and make sure that the incisions healed very well. Got some swelling. Nothing weird or unusual.

[00:33:29]Considering where we come from, I'm very happy. This is where you were.

[00:33:33]>> Wow.

[00:33:35]>> That's very difficult to lose with exercise because of the excessive skin with your breast. Your nipples are in totally different positions.

[00:33:44]>> As I'm looking at the before photos, it reminds me of the divorce, the loneliness, the self-doubt.

[00:33:52]>> And now we're going to see where you are.

[00:33:55]>> Say goodbye to that person. And Oh my god, you look nice. Yes, >> good.

[00:34:08]>> This is great.

[00:34:10]>> I got really lucky on you.

[00:34:12]>> I never thought it would look like this ever.

[00:34:15]>> Like somebody pinched me. I don't want to be dreaming. Before this surgery, I was not comfortable in my own skin. My biggest fear was getting into a relationship. Now I feel confident enough to not being afraid to be intimate, you know, and just kind of be sexy and desirable. The level of confidence is through the roof right now.

[00:34:35]>> You're ready for Marty right now?

[00:34:37]>> Yes. We can run through the streets naked now.

[00:34:40]>> That's on my bucket list. Now, >> when I see a patient get emotional and really happy, I smile, but deep down I'm like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes."

[00:34:47]>> Thank you, Dr. Jones.

[00:34:49]>> All right.

[00:34:49]>> Thank you, Dr. Jones. It's nice to see you, too. They have a whole new swag.

[00:34:54]Boo, look at you.

[00:35:03]>> Today is my final follow-up with Dr. Crawford. I'm so excited. I can't wait to see my new boobs.

[00:35:08]>> Hey, Bri.

[00:35:09]>> How are you?

[00:35:09]>> Good. How are you?

[00:35:10]>> Good. I'll go ahead and bring you back.

[00:35:11]Okay.

[00:35:12]>> Okay. Recovering from surgery wasn't that difficult because I had help from WA.

[00:35:16]>> You look better yet?

[00:35:18]>> Not to myself in the mirror. I can feel it.

[00:35:24]>> Good to see you.

[00:35:25]>> You, too.

[00:35:26]>> Well, let me just take a look and we'll see how things are healing up. Bree's final result looks great. The most difficult part of her surgery was really choosing the appropriate implant. And I think we hit the nail on the head. You can see what we have here is exactly what we see after every mom has had babies. Uh, >> this looks sad.

[00:35:45]>> That's right. They look sad. They look sad. So, you know, we just had to cheer them up. We had to perk them up a little bit. And so whenever you're ready, I want you to take off that robe and show us an >> Okay.

[00:36:03]Oh my gosh, you look good. Like really good. You did a really good job. I love them.

[00:36:10]>> My first reaction was, "Wow." Like these boobs are perfect. They couldn't be more perfect than they really are.

[00:36:17]>> You look amazing. Everything looks fantastic. I mean, they really fit your body. Everything's proportional. Brings back the volume. How do you feel?

[00:36:24]>> Good. I'm really comfortable with my body now. What do you think?

[00:36:29]>> I like them. This mean you going to be walking around the house like that? No.

[00:36:33]>> On a scale of 1 to 10, it was really a 10. Very natural looking.

[00:36:38]>> Now I can be really comfortable with my body. I have no worries.

[00:36:43]>> Before surgery, like I had a lot of insecurities. Now that I have new breasts, I have so much more confidence in myself that I feel like I can help my son get through life with more confidence.

[00:36:55]>> You know, since you're feeling so good, you can listen to Woo. You can walk around the house like that if you want to.

[00:37:00]>> Just don't knock anything over.

[00:37:03]>> Okay.

[00:37:03]>> Thank you so much.

[00:37:04]>> It's good to see you.

[00:37:13]>> Well, hello. How are you doing? Good.

[00:37:16]>> Today is my final follow-up with Dr. Jones and I'm feeling anxious. This has really been a a crazy roller coaster of a journey because some bed bugs had literally ate my right butt cheek up.

[00:37:28]Hopefully, this will be done and let that chapter be closed.

[00:37:31]>> Why don't I pull up the old pictures of you? This was your your body.

[00:37:36]>> So, here you had some love handles there.

[00:37:39]>> You can see your indentation there, >> right?

[00:37:43]And you had lack of projection of your butt.

[00:37:46]>> I'm feeling something like mortified.

[00:37:48]Didn't realize I look so much like a box.

[00:37:51]>> All right. So, whenever you're ready, you can drop your robe and compare your old body to your new body.

[00:38:05]>> Wa!

[00:38:07]Look at that. Oh my god. Girl, you look good.

[00:38:12]Ah, >> wow.

[00:38:14]>> Look what I got. Look what I got.

[00:38:16]>> When I looked at myself in the mirror before, my eyes will always go straight to the indentation. So, I hated that.

[00:38:22]Now, when I look at myself, what's not to like?

[00:38:25]>> I have what is considered to be a regular booty now.

[00:38:28]>> Mhm.

[00:38:28]>> No indentation.

[00:38:29]>> That's not regular.

[00:38:30]>> It's very much so above average.

[00:38:31]>> The scar that we reconstructed is nice and smooth. Blends in with the rest of her butt. And we maintain her tattoo.

[00:38:37]>> Can I ride now?

[00:38:39]>> You can ride. You can sit. You can do whatever you want.

[00:38:42]>> Yay. That's good. You can do whatever you want, girl.

[00:38:44]>> There you go.

[00:38:45]>> Thank you.

[00:38:46]>> I am finally free. Take that, Bed Bugs.

[00:38:50]>> All right. Take care.

[00:38:58]>> Shopping. What I do best today? I'm so excited cuz this is the first time I'm actually going shopping ever since I got my new boobs. And I'm bringing Wooda and my girlfriends Minnie and Miss Juicy.

[00:39:09]Your boobs are popping this >> baby life.

[00:39:12]>> Hi y'all. Baby, here I am.

[00:39:15]>> It feels really good to be part of the new big titty committee.

[00:39:19]>> Wait a minute.

[00:39:21]>> I think I found it for you. Look at that.

[00:39:24]>> That's cute.

[00:39:24]>> You ready for this woman?

[00:39:25]>> Yeah, I'm ready to see what the top bottom look like. I'm ready.

[00:39:31]>> Tying up the strings and looking from side to side or even from the front.

[00:39:35]It's like I look awesome.

[00:39:38]Oh my god.

[00:39:44]>> Oh my god. Bri looks amazing. Men going to be looking at you and you going to even have some girls looking at you too, honey. Girl, with that you can do it all. Boo. Top and bottom. They going to be looking twice.

[00:39:58]>> I think it will change Bree's life tremendously. She will be more confident, more tube tops, more tank tops. So, she'll just be ready to show off the girls.

[00:40:08]>> Shake your money maker, baby. See how they feel. That's what I'm talking about.

[00:40:13]>> I feel amazing. Like, now that I have this new body, I'm so comfortable that I feel like I can do anything.

[00:40:21]>> That's what I'm talking about.

[00:40:23]>> Dr. Crawford, thanks, brother. You looked out for me. I appreciate you.

[00:40:27]Real talk.
