Um, so once everybody kinda gets back to their goal weight, now you're in the zone for plastic surgery.

Yeah.

After the first month, the fat is pretty much set wherever it's gonna be, and it only requires a little pillow that just kinda puts most of your weight on your thighs.
7:21
We do that for a month, and that's, that's still the standard of care.
7:23
But how the technique has changed, I mean, in the beginning, there were very few guys doing it, but then the demand exploded somewhere between 2010 and, you know, 2015 to '16, to the point where there were more people trying, more surgeons trying to do the operation that, in my opinion, really weren't as skilled or didn't know what to do.

And so we had a lot of mishaps and, unfortunately, some tragic fatalities.
7:48
Here in Miami, something like 20 people died in that time period from BBLs.
7:52
Eventually, pe- you know, the, the law caught up with the, with the procedure and, and I was part of that, actually, to try to get, strengthen the safety on BBLs.
