00:16I was driving and my car hit the divider.
00:20I'm just lucky to be alive.
00:24With the quadruplets, it was like my whole entire body was pregnant.
00:29And I knew that there is no coming back from this.
00:33The scars make me feel like a legitimate monster.
00:38I'm so ready to bring back the old me and have self-confidence again.
00:43I look in the mirror, I now see myself and I see an extremely bright future.
00:51There's a revolution happening in the world of beauty.
00:55Skin procedures and plastic surgery doesn't have to mean changing who you are.
00:59It's about becoming the best version of yourself.
01:02I'm Dr. Sheila Nazarian, a board-certified plastic surgeon.
01:06My philosophy is to deliver natural results to men and women to give them their confidence back.
01:12But cosmetic procedures are no longer limited to going under the knife.
01:17I'm Nurse Jamie, one of the world's top beauty and skin experts.
01:21The reason I've gained and maintained so many celebrity clients is because I'm able to achieve amazing results without ever
01:30picking up a scalpel.
01:33Whether it's surgical or not, our goal is for people to look in the mirror and feel good in their
01:39own skin.
01:50I haven't taken a photo in seven years.
01:54I just don't like showing my face too much.
01:58It's largely due to the scars that I have on my face.
02:06My name is Nicholas.
02:08I'm from Los Angeles, California, and I'm in the transportation industry.
02:12When I look in the mirror, I see someone who has overcame a lot of adversity and is extremely strong.
02:18I would describe myself as inquisitive and highly ambitious.
02:24I was the only person in my family to attend college.
02:28I always had compliments on my looks.
02:31I was on top of the world.
02:33Job, school, just everything is just going perfect.
02:39I was driving down the freeway at nine at night.
02:44And my car hit a pothole.
02:46I couldn't turn or brake.
02:48It hit the divider at 75 plus miles per hour.
02:52And my car flipped about three or four times.
02:57My car was a legitimate pancake.
03:00I'm just lucky to be alive.
03:03The accident caused me to have severe lacerations all over my body and specifically my head.
03:09My recovery was seven months and it was extremely painful physically and mentally.
03:16Once the head guys came off, my scars were very prominent.
03:21When I re-entered the world, I noticed that the way that people treated me was different.
03:27No matter how I dressed, no matter how I behaved, no matter what I was doing,
03:32it was almost like a scared feeling, almost as if I was going to hurt them.
03:38They say I look intimidating, like, do you sell drugs or like, you in gangs?
03:43And they legitimately treated me as if I was a criminal just because I'm black with scars on my face.
03:50My whole life, I've been trying to battle and fight that stigma that comes with being African-American.
04:00That is what changed me.
04:02I became withdrawn and less sociable.
04:18The scars make me feel like a legitimate monster.
04:25I've always believed that my path was to do something for people and promote love.
04:30I'm not trying to change who I am.
04:33I just want what I naturally am to show.
04:35Getting rid of the scars that mean the world to me is unlocking the potential that I feel I already
04:42have.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:55I'm sorry.
04:57Hi.
04:57Nice to meet you.
04:58Welcome.
04:59Tell us a little bit about you.
05:01I'm Nicholas Bravo.
05:02I graduated with my degree in psychology and I'm just an entrepreneur.
05:07Amazing.
05:07So what kind of businesses are you building?
05:09So right now I'm focused on something in the transportation industry.
05:13So tell us a little bit about your story.
05:14Why are you here?
05:15Yeah, so I got into a really, really bad car accident.
05:19Almost lost my life.
05:21After the accident, I was left with scars.
05:24A lot of them on my forehead here.
05:27Mm-hmm.
05:27The corner right here in between my eyebrows.
05:31Then above my eyelid, my left eyelid here.
05:34I was lucky that it healed a certain way.
05:37But I literally could see the difference after the accident.
05:42People just didn't want to be around me, almost like I had leprosy or something.
05:45You could tell they had instantly had questions.
05:48And dealing with that every single time you step out of the house for seven years is very, very traumatizing.
05:56It changes you on many levels.
05:58My whole life, I've always been confident.
06:00But after, like, two years, I began to become insecure about the scars.
06:06There was jobs that I applied for.
06:09Mm-hmm.
06:09Dating, of course, that was different.
06:12I've had people tell me, like, I just look gangster, thuggish, dangerous, all these different types of things.
06:19That's just not who you are.
06:21No, not at all.
06:22So it's just really distracting to what I'm trying to portray and what I'm trying to do with my future,
06:28especially at a startup company.
06:30I just look less trustworthy.
06:32Unfortunately, we live in a world where the reality is what you said.
06:37Facial scars are associated with being hard.
06:39And we just, we need to take that away.
06:42You couldn't be further from that.
06:44Well, Jamie and I are going to put our heads together and really, we want to help you because you're
06:50so inspiring.
06:51And honestly, there's no reason for these scars to get in the way of your life and your success and
06:56your confidence for, like, one more second.
06:59So we're going to get some scans done.
07:00We'll put our heads together and see what's really going to be the best treatment for you.
07:18Oh, my God.
07:19How handsome is this young man?
07:21He's beautiful.
07:22I really want him.
07:24Hashtag inspired, okay?
07:26Here we are.
07:27Okay, what makes me go to crazy town is this.
07:31He looks like angry.
07:34Right?
07:35And it's this line right here.
07:37But if I take this pigmentation away, the space between his brow is going to be a little bit longer.
07:43Here's the plan for Nicholas.
07:45I want to start by softening his brow line by giving him cortisone injections.
07:50Cortisone is often used to reduce inflammation in the body.
07:53It can also be injected locally to break down scar tissue and hypertrophic scars like the ones above Nicholas's brow.
08:00And then I'll be using a series of lasers to resurface and soften that area.
08:05Once I finish balancing out the structure of the brow, then we're going to work on restoring the actual eyebrows
08:11with some cosmetic tattooing.
08:14So would you do a little bit of filler under his eyes?
08:17I definitely would.
08:18I just want to talk to him and feel it out because you can see he has more lipoatrophy on
08:23this side.
08:23So I could add a little bit more filler.
08:26I could add a little bit of filler here and here.
08:28He just didn't mention any of that.
08:30Certain things, especially men, they just don't know it exists.
08:33So if you tell them, listen, I'm just going to throw this out there.
08:36I'm giving you all of the possibilities.
08:38So I think anything that we can do to really make him look refreshed, powerful, confident, all of those, healthy.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Next, we'll be restoring the volume with some filler and then improving the overall skin texture with a technique called
08:53microdosing.
08:55But this is the guy that I really think just throws the look of the face off because he has
09:00these great eyes and this just distracts.
09:02I think that's a great plan.
09:03Nicholas is such a handsome guy.
09:05I don't think surgery is going to be worth it for him.
09:09I totally think Nurse Jamie can take him on and just get his confidence back.
09:14Hi.
09:15Hi.
09:15Welcome back.
09:17Welcome back.
09:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:21We are so excited to share a plan with you.
09:24Awesome, awesome.
09:26Talk to me.
09:27So I have a laser extravaganza planned for you.
09:32Okay.
09:33Okay, so don't panic.
09:34Let me show you in the mirror what I'm talking about.
09:36Okay.
09:37The thing that stands out to me the most is this scar right here and this one on your nose.
09:42So after we take some cortisone and kind of lower this where the trajectory is off, it's protruding too much.
09:50Then it's this discoloration, this pigmentation that you have here and here that I want to remove.
09:55So I'm just going to put a little bit of cortisone in there.
09:58We'll probably do some microneedling.
09:59The other thing is where they approximated this wound where they sewed you up.
10:03You've lost some of your eyebrow there.
10:05I have a girl in my office that can do cosmetic tattooing.
10:09What it's going to do is kind of just trick the eye into completing this brow.
10:14So you have a little bit of loss of fat here.
10:17So since I'm going to be in there and doing stuff, if you want to, I can do some filler.
10:24Have you ever heard?
10:25You've heard of filler?
10:26Yeah, I've heard of it.
10:27People think that filler is just used to, like, make big lips and, like, crazy women walking around the streets.
10:34But really, think of filler more as, like, putting things back where they used to be rather than cosmetic.
10:42It's just going to complete the look because your eyes underneath it just looks a little tired, even when you're
10:47not.
10:48And I don't think you're – are you wearing any sunscreen?
10:50I was always told that black people don't need sunscreen.
10:53What?
10:54Yeah.
10:54Everyone needs sunscreen.
10:55I know.
10:56We're about to, like, oh!
10:57No, yeah, I'm always –
10:58No, yeah.
10:59I mean, you're less likely to get skin cancer, but absolutely you need to protect your skin.
11:05Just so you know, the reason why your scars healed so dark is because you got sun on them.
11:10Whenever your skin's pink, it's susceptible to the sun.
11:13We call pink scars immature.
11:14As long as your scar is immature, you get sun on it, it's going to heal darker than your normal
11:19skin.
11:19Our goal is to get you taking more photos of yourself because we see a beautiful man.
11:28We don't want these scars to represent you anymore.
11:35I love my job.
11:36I love my job.
11:37It's so powerful when I can help to wipe away trauma and scars and build people back up again.
11:43And that's what I hope to do for Nicholas.
11:46Hey, Nicholas.
11:47How are you doing?
11:49Oh, fantastic.
11:49The first thing I'm going to do is I'm probably going to have to do some cortisone injections.
11:54Then we're going to do some dermal fillers just to restore some volume.
11:58Then we'll do a little bit of infrared just to kind of heal the area.
12:02All right, here it goes.
12:04All right, here in the center.
12:06For Nicholas, I'm going to use steroid injections, not the kind that makes you bop,
12:10the kind that's used to break down scar tissue.
12:15Oh, man, oh, man.
12:16You've got a lot of scar tissue here.
12:18When I really start poking around, it's going to take more than one time, but it's going to be better.
12:23So you have some fat loss from where this stuff has happened.
12:28It does make the right side of the face a little bit more hollow.
12:31I'm just going to kind of restore a few things.
12:35Because of the accident, Nicholas has lost a lot of volume on one side of his face.
12:41So I'm going to use filler to restore that volume.
12:47I'm really good at filler.
12:48I mean, I'm like the best in the world at filler.
12:52Two more tiny pokes close to the eye.
12:54Basically, I got into this field because I wanted to get my lips done,
12:58and I was a young woman with no money.
13:00I worked for a group of derm and plastic surgeons, and I just, I loved it.
13:05And I had a knack for it, and it just kind of, I never left it.
13:12All right, so you're going to sense a bright light.
13:14I just went to town on Nicholas's face, so I'm going to use LED light therapy.
13:18I can't tell you how cool this machine is.
13:21It was originally created by NASA, developed for plant growth experiments on space shuttle missions.
13:27It has since been proven to help inflammation in the body, reduce pain, and produce collagen,
13:31which is really good to calm down the skin and help the healing process.
13:36Take a peek.
13:37It's not done, not done, but you see, like, minus this, the swelling's still there, and this is swollen.
13:42So I'm going to be sending Nicholas home with some skin care.
13:45The thing about a lot of my male clients is they're typically oblivious to the need for skin care.
13:50You're a magician, wow.
13:52It's starting to look good, starting to, starting to restore.
13:56Face healed up, like, after three days.
13:59I didn't notice a change from too many people, but what I did notice was a change with my,
14:05surprisingly, with my confidence.
14:08Let's get it.
14:17Let's go home.
14:18You don't want to go home and get a snack?
14:21Good walking, Jax.
14:23My name is Michelle Zamora, and I am a mother to five beautiful children.
14:32You're welcome.
14:33Being a mom of five kids is chaotic.
14:37It's craziness.
14:38Go on your beds, please.
14:40Okay, lay down.
14:42But then there's the great times when everybody is wonderful and loving, but mostly it's like
14:48a hurricane set on fire.
14:50Me and my husband struggled with infertility for three years.
14:54We went and seeked fertility help, and we started the IUI process, and we were lucky to get pregnant
15:01the first try with our first son, Jax.
15:04Then when he turned one, I was getting that itch, so we went back to the fertility clinic,
15:09clinic, and I got pregnant with four babies.
15:15I was so happy.
15:19My husband, after he got used to the idea, he was super excited to be the quad dad.
15:26He's a proud dad.
15:27I'm a proud mom.
15:30The first pregnancy, I gained a good amount of weight.
15:34I call it happy weight because I was so happy I was pregnant.
15:36But with the quadruplets, there were so many babies pushing on so many different things inside of me.
15:43It was like my whole entire body was pregnant, and I knew that there is no coming back from this.
15:54And then after giving birth to them, the stress of taking care of four babies, plus managing my two-year
16:03-old at the time, who just got diagnosed with autism.
16:06So that was a big hit for me.
16:10It was like, okay, now how am I going to help him while I'm trying to help these four other
16:15babies?
16:19I have these five kids that need every part of me.
16:23How dare I think about myself?
16:26But I know that I need to really take a little bit of time for myself because that, in the
16:34end, is going to make me a better mom.
16:36I'm ready.
16:37I'm so ready to bring back the old me and have self-confidence again.
16:50So I saw a patient once use this peel on herself at home, like a very strong one that you
16:55should, like, have no business doing at home.
16:57And she gave herself second-degree burns, was in the burn unit.
17:00And the first question she asked me is, when can I do a peel again?
17:03Oh, my gosh.
17:04Is she in Virgo?
17:05I mean, check it out.
17:05Oh, I'm telling you.
17:06Michelle is here.
17:08Hi.
17:08How are you?
17:09How are you?
17:10I'm a hugger.
17:11All right.
17:12Welcome.
17:12Nice to meet you.
17:15Have a seat.
17:16Please.
17:17So good to have you.
17:19I'm excited to be here.
17:20Yeah.
17:21You have me beat.
17:22I am a mother of triplets.
17:24Oh, wow.
17:25Yes, I have seven-year-old triplet children.
17:27Wow.
17:28But I bow down.
17:29So, yeah.
17:31That must have been a tough pregnancy.
17:33Yes, it was very tough.
17:34I was sick the entire time.
17:36I was huge.
17:37I was in the hospital the last month and took a toll on my body.
17:40My sister has quads and also had a one-year-old when she had quads.
17:44Oh, wow.
17:44So.
17:45Yeah, I had a two-year-old when I had one.
17:46Yeah, so it's almost like having quintuplets.
17:49Yeah, it really is.
17:49So tell us kind of what brings you here.
17:51So I had quadruplets.
17:54And it does something to your body that you can't, like, imagine.
17:58Like, you just saw parts sticking out everywhere.
18:01My skin's been stretched to the max.
18:03They went in places they weren't supposed to be going.
18:06It still feels, in some things that I wear, like I still look pregnant.
18:10When we're in the bed, it's like me, my stomach kicking over, and then my husband.
18:15So, like, don't touch me right here.
18:16Don't touch me when I'm over here.
18:17And above the shoulders, you're good.
18:20Like, it has changed our relationship so much.
18:22I don't like me now.
18:24Like, I still am not comfortable in this body.
18:26Even looking in the mirror, I'm like, that's me.
18:28Like, that's really me.
18:30I just think it's so beautiful that you've come to this place that you're going to take care of yourself
18:34for a little while.
18:35Yes.
18:35If I'm not happy, really, our family's not going to be happy.
18:39Oh, yes.
18:39So I need to be happy with me.
18:41You really do have to put your oxygen mask on first.
18:44You have to take care of you because you can't pour from an empty cup.
18:47Yeah.
18:47And you carry yourself differently.
18:49Your kids are going to feed off of that.
18:51They do.
18:51We love mommy makeovers.
18:53And I think you just need, like, a reboot, a restart.
18:56Yes.
18:56Totally agree.
18:57You deserve it.
18:58Yes.
19:04There is no exercise for the skin.
19:06So I really think I will have to defer to you on this.
19:09For Michelle, with the amount of lax skin that she has and the results that she wants, she's going to
19:14be a better surgical candidate.
19:16Laser and diet and exercise are not going to do the trick for her.
19:20I think there's definitely things that can be done non-surgically, but it'll take months and months and months and
19:25months.
19:25And there's also the misconception that it'd be cheaper.
19:28It's not.
19:29Sometimes it's so many more treatments.
19:31Mm-hmm.
19:31So she just needs a little bit of love from you.
19:35I always look at a patient and I say, what's their goal and can I get there without surgery?
19:40And if the answer is no, I have no qualms about jumping to a surgical procedure.
19:46Here's my plan for Michelle.
19:48I'm going to perform a tummy tuck, liposuction her upper and lower back, and do a breast lift to give
19:54her a nice shape.
19:56Even when you lift the breast up, with gravity, all the weight goes down, so you still have this cut
20:03-out divot in the top.
20:05So I'm definitely going to take some fat and literally just fill it in up here.
20:09Not to make her look like super cleavage-y, but like...
20:11No, but I like that it's her own tissue.
20:13It's not an implant you're repurposing.
20:15There's definitely the place for an implant when, you know, it's indicated, but for her, I mean, she's got enough
20:19volume.
20:19She's got plenty.
20:20Okay, so why don't we talk about her face a little bit now?
20:24Now, Michelle didn't ask for anything for her face, but I've been doing this long enough that I know I
20:29need to get ahead of this.
20:30And since she's going to be under anesthesia anyway, I'm going to present her with an option that I think
20:34she's going to love.
20:35Mommy makeover.
20:36Quad mommy makeover.
20:37I know.
20:38She doesn't need a makeover.
20:39She needs an award.
20:40She needs a trophy.
20:41Exactly.
20:42Hey, Michelle.
20:44Have a seat.
20:45We're excited to share some stuff with you.
20:47Me too.
20:48Yes, so we want to be your fairy godmother or fairy god sisters of skin.
20:54So, yeah, there are definitely some things I could do non-surgically, but there is no exercise for the skin.
20:59So in this case, I'm going to defer to Dr. Nazarian.
21:04Looking at your shape, you have hips.
21:06I don't want to make your breasts smaller because then you'll look like a pear.
21:09We don't want that.
21:10We want you to look like an hourglass.
21:11Yeah.
21:11So we're going to give you a breast lift and a tummy tuck.
21:16Yes, fantastic.
21:17Yeah?
21:18Is that what you sort of found out in your research?
21:20Yes.
21:20Just by lifting your breasts up, it's not going to fill out that top part.
21:24So to fight that, I'm actually going to take some fat from your upper and lower back, give you a
21:30really nice silhouette, a nice waist, and use some of that fat in the top part of the breast.
21:35Okay.
21:35And just by taking this fat out, your butt's going to look like, ooh, I got a lift.
21:40It's a dream.
21:41You're going to look so good.
21:42I can see it in my head.
21:44It does.
21:45Yeah.
21:46So there is another option that I do want to discuss with you.
21:49So if you hold that mirror up, there is something that is done minimally invasively and it actually can be
21:53done awake or it can be done along with other surgeries.
21:57This is your buckle fat.
21:58And it's a completely different type of fat in the face.
22:01Now, when you were a kid and you were lighter, did you always kind of have a fuller cheek?
22:05Yeah, I always had.
22:05Yeah, because it's a different type of fat.
22:07So through an incision on the inside of the cheek, so there's no external scarring at all, I can actually
22:12pull this little fat out.
22:14So suck in your cheeks a little bit.
22:15Yeah.
22:16Now your jaw makes sense with your face.
22:19The shadowing underneath your lips is less.
22:22And your face went into that sweetheart position without volume.
22:25So if you're open to that, I think that that would really just make you look lifted.
22:29And who doesn't want lift?
22:30Yeah.
22:31Right?
22:31And the buckle fat would be, like, more permanent.
22:33It would be more permanent.
22:35My only concern on that is that as we age, your face is going to become exponentially leaner.
22:40So I worry about you having that fat as you age.
22:44And that is a concern.
22:45The one question that I always ask is, when you were younger, did you still have that cheek?
22:49And you said yes.
22:50So that just means if you lose weight, you're not going to lose the cheek.
22:52Okay.
22:52And the second thing is, who did you get the cheek from?
22:55Uh, my mom.
22:56Okay.
22:56Is your mom gone now?
22:57Or does she still have a full cheek?
22:59She still has it.
23:00Yeah.
23:00So I'm not worried about you getting gone as you age.
23:03So I really do recommend that.
23:05Okay.
23:05Or it's something that we can always do before or after with injectables as well.
23:09Okay.
23:09Yeah.
23:10I'm leaning more towards removing the buckle fat.
23:12Okay.
23:13Super excited.
23:14I mean, it is going to be definitely a process, but...
23:16It'll be so worth it.
23:18It'll be so worth it.
23:20It'll be so worth it.
23:20We got you.
23:22I'm full of nerves right now.
23:25It's a mix of nerves and stress and excitement.
23:31So I've laid down my children a few times now.
23:34Looks like I got to go do it again.
23:36Uh, good thing I'm not getting to sleep tonight anyways.
23:39So wish me luck for tomorrow.
23:49I still can't believe that this is really happening.
23:53There's a little anxiety about, okay, is this going to be super freaking painful?
23:58Is this going to be the most pain I've ever been in my life?
24:01Even topping, carrying quadruplets.
24:02You're just going to focus on how amazing you're going to look, romantic evening with your hubby.
24:10But even over that, my fears are being away from my kids.
24:14Like, is everyone going to be able to handle everything?
24:16Are they getting to school?
24:19I'm always going to worry about them because my kids are always going to be the number ones in my
24:25life.
24:28Okay.
24:29There you go.
24:31All right, let's get all hands on deck.
24:33One, two, three, wrap, and over.
24:37Perfect.
24:38That's amazing for me.
24:39Okay, let's get ready to go.
24:46Knife.
24:47Michelle has super thick fat in her back.
24:51So I decided to do liposuction.
24:53And also I needed the fat for fat transfer into her breasts.
24:56So it's going to make her butt look a lot more projected.
24:59Because her lower back will be down.
25:02Growing up in Iran, my mom used to always say, oh, I wish I could take the fat from here
25:06and put it up here.
25:07And we'd laugh and be like, ha ha, whatever.
25:09But that's exactly what we're doing now.
25:11So you can really see the fat coming out now.
25:12You see the yellow?
25:15Sometimes it's just putting a little fat in.
25:17It gives it a little bit of a lift.
25:19When I look at a patient, I used to get super excited and be like, I could do this and
25:24this and this and this and this.
25:25Because there's hundreds of things we can do on anybody.
25:27I'm almost done with the rest.
25:30But it's really about what's affecting that person's life.
25:33Because if it doesn't bother them, you're not really improving their quality of life.
25:45I will need electrocautery for this portion of the case.
25:50Buckle fat is actually quite different from the fat on your body.
25:53So you can actually see how much fat was in her cheeks.
25:56It's like immediate results.
25:57The fat on our body is like tiny little globs versus the buckle fat.
26:01Refresh 15 blade.
26:04Moms are such incredible people.
26:06We affect so many people's energy, that confidence.
26:09Take care of everybody.
26:10Feel good as a mom.
26:12Everybody's life improves around.
26:13So here I am still in recovery.
26:16Just feeling really appreciative of my family that's helping hold down the fort.
26:20They're taking care of my babies that I'm missing so much.
26:24But I'm enjoying a little bit of quiet and being waited on for once.
26:35My skin has come along.
26:37These scars have faded drastically.
26:40But she still has work to do.
26:43We're going to get these removed.
26:44Wow, it's a lot smoother.
26:47Yeah, it is.
26:47The skin care routine that you gave me, it's time consuming.
26:51Tell me about it.
26:52Oh my gosh.
26:53I just want to watch you go.
26:54You can do it.
26:54You can do it.
26:55You can do it.
26:56But look at the results.
26:57This is looking so good.
26:58We're going to start resurfacing, brightening of the scars,
27:02and just like overall skin tone, texture.
27:06And then we're going to do micro tattooing.
27:08Okay.
27:09You'll like it.
27:10Hang with me.
27:10I haven't led you astray so far.
27:12All right.
27:13So let's get started.
27:16Nicholas has beautiful skin, but he still has some pigmentation from those scars,
27:20which is why I want to use a laser that's really good for darker skin tones.
27:25The laser is so effective because it delivers energy in a picosecond,
27:29shattering the dark pigment without a lot of heat,
27:32which means faster results without the downtime.
27:35If 10 is the worst pain you ever had, what would you put that as pain-wise?
27:38Um, two.
27:40I told you I was going to dazzle you with a laser light show.
27:42Did I not?
27:43I'm now using laser resurfacing to break up the pigmentation for his facial scarring.
27:48The reason I love this machine is because it hits the pigment, fragments it,
27:54and then your white blood cells carry away the fragmented pigment.
27:57And don't panic.
27:58That smell is your skin, but it's perfectly normal.
28:02Okay.
28:03What does that smell mean?
28:04That is filet of Nicholas.
28:08So now we're going to do the microdosing.
28:11Okay.
28:11I'm going to do a little bit all over just for, like, the...
28:14Oh, okay.
28:15Gotcha.
28:15Okay?
28:16Microdosing allows me to combine different injectables,
28:18such as fillers and freezers, at the same time in tiny little amounts.
28:23Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and paralytic to plump the skin and restore that glow.
28:31Because of the accident, Nicholas is missing part of his brow.
28:35So the last thing that we're going to do is the cosmetic eyebrow tattooing.
28:40It's a simple procedure that is going to last him for years.
28:44How did that feel?
28:45Because I just put, like, one, um...
28:47I didn't even know you did it.
28:48You didn't feel it.
28:49It filled in that spot.
28:50You did?
28:51You're done?
28:51Oh.
28:52I feel like my face has been beaten with the bat,
28:55but after Jamie's procedures, every time I look better.
29:02Okay, eight weeks.
29:04This week, the big news is I tried on bathing suits.
29:09Usually not fun.
29:10It was fun.
29:11I even did a little fashion show for the kids,
29:13and they were clapping for me and saying,
29:16Wow, Mommy, you're so pretty,
29:17and what nice underwear I had.
29:21Because it was a bikini.
29:22I mean, your kids, what your kids think of you is everything, right?
29:25So that was...
29:26That was big.
29:27Let's take...
29:29Hello.
29:30Hi.
29:31Christmas came early.
29:32Yay.
29:33Should we take a quick peek at everything going on?
29:36Yeah.
29:37Still a bit swollen.
29:38Yeah, swollen down here.
29:39Yeah, but that'll continue to go down.
29:41Okay.
29:41I think you're right where you should be.
29:42Okay.
29:43So I think what I want to do today
29:44is just, like, a little bit of filler,
29:46a little bit of neurotoxin,
29:47just, like, the cherry on top.
29:49In here, you see how you have that little bit of a shadow?
29:51I think removing the buccal fat really helped with that,
29:53but I still think we need to give you
29:55a little bit of filler right in here,
29:56and it's gonna really help make that more smooth,
29:58and that will give the illusion of a tighter jawline.
30:01Yeah.
30:02I went from 25 to 45, like, within the kids,
30:06and I feel like it chills on my face,
30:07so, like, all these things that we're doing,
30:09I think it's gonna bring back the time
30:11that I feel like I missed.
30:14So we're basically going to straighten out that jawline,
30:17give you a lifted appearance.
30:19Okay.
30:20Now I'm gonna get this little divot down here, okay?
30:22We call that the pre-jowl.
30:24Holy moly.
30:25That looks so good.
30:27It's amazing how much I've changed
30:30from before to this moment right now.
30:32I can't believe what I look like, what I feel like.
30:35Just look at that.
30:36Yes.
30:37Versus that.
30:38Okay, the rest of this one,
30:39I'm just gonna put into that temple, okay?
30:42Well, let me ask you,
30:42do you want it in your lip or temple?
30:44Have you ever thought about putting lip filler in or no?
30:46Yeah.
30:46Yes?
30:47Yeah.
30:47You have?
30:48So you prefer your lip?
30:49Yeah.
30:49Okay, let's do her lip.
30:50Every week, something changes.
30:51Something gets better.
30:52I can't even imagine what the end's really gonna look like.
30:55I think the word for your transformation is liberation.
30:58You've been set free here and here.
31:01Yeah, yeah.
31:02When Michelle looks in the mirror,
31:04I hope that she sees Michelle.
31:07The woman who deserves to be cared for,
31:11deserves self-love,
31:13and understands that we're all a bank.
31:19And in order to make credits to other people
31:22and to give to other people,
31:23we also have to make deposits into ourselves.
31:33It's crazy what I see in the mirror right now.
31:36This is definitely not a mom of five.
31:41Once I became a mom,
31:43the Michelle before that was gone,
31:44and now this brought her back.
31:47I feel my age.
31:49I feel 30.
31:50I feel just alive again.
31:53Before, I had so much weight in the front of me
31:56from my boobs and from my stomach,
31:58and now I have that muscle back.
32:00I can hold myself up
32:01without feeling that weight pulling me forward.
32:03My boobs are way perkier.
32:05They pulled them back up where they belonged.
32:07My waist is there again.
32:10And then all my facial features are poppy.
32:14The biggest surprise out of this whole process,
32:18I think, is my mental state.
32:19I didn't think I was gonna have as much confidence
32:21that I have now.
32:23I always thought that no matter what,
32:25I was gonna have some kind of insecurity,
32:27but I love myself again.
32:31I think every mom needs to take time for yourself
32:34to do the things that you need to do for you.
32:37If you're not happy,
32:38your kids aren't happy.
32:39Your husband's not happy.
32:41I don't have boundaries with my husband anymore.
32:44There's nothing that's off limits.
32:45It's almost like we started dating again
32:48in a weird way.
32:51And then as a mom,
32:52I'm not worried about,
32:53oh, am I gonna be able to chase my kids?
32:55Now it's being present in the moment
32:57with my children and my husband.
32:59Thank you so much to Dr. Nazarian
33:02for everything that she's done for me.
33:04There was a light at the end of the tunnel,
33:05and she opened so many doors for me
33:07in so many different ways.
33:08This is me.
33:09I'm here.
33:10And it's beautiful.
33:29Nicholas and I have put a lot of work in together.
33:31I can't wait to see what he can achieve
33:34without anything holding him back.
33:37For so long,
33:38I was fixated on the scars
33:39because I thought that defined me.
33:42I thought getting the scars removed from my face,
33:45it would allow people to be open
33:47to seeing who I am
33:49and not dealing with profiling
33:51and judgment and mistreatment.
33:59Now, I realize it's not about that.
34:02It's just about how I feel about myself,
34:04me living in my truth,
34:06bringing out my light
34:07as best as I can.
34:10I see you watch me
34:12as my heart hits the ground
34:15I beg you for a reason
34:18but you won't make the sound
34:20do you know?
34:21I look in the mirror
34:23and I like what I see.
34:24I love what I see.
34:26I don't see a monster.
34:28I just see someone
34:30that truly wants to love everybody
34:33and just uplift everybody,
34:35all of humanity.
34:37Nurse Jamie,
34:38you've opened up so many opportunities
34:40that I just wouldn't have had
34:42and it's more so in business endeavors.
34:45I look more trustworthy,
34:46which I'm really happy about.
34:48Thank you, Nurse Jamie.
34:52When I look in the mirror,
34:54I see an extremely bright future.
34:57So many possibilities opened up
34:59and I just can't wait to get started.
35:01How does this feel, Nicholas?
35:02Man, it feels fabulous.
35:04I feel renewed
35:05and I'm ready to take on the world.
35:10See you next time.
35:10What do I have a moment to do?
