- Welcome to the Weston House.
It's beautification day.
Yobana,
is multilingual.
She speaks Spanish
and English.
- Also Guijuelo, it's another language from my country.
- Oh really?
- Yeah
- She takes good care of our six year old, Judy.
I was born in the fifties and my dad always thought
it might be a good idea for me to try to be a doctor.
When my mother died, at age ninety-one,
my sister sent me some
of the documents
that she found under my bed in a shoe box.
And my parents, in those years, had a combined income
of between seven and eight thousand dollars a year.
I never thought we were poor.
We had a car and a house.
We didn't go take vacations.
And I had a bat and a ball and a bicycle.
Now I realize why my dad was taking me to the bank
and I was borrowing money to go to college.
It was amazing, it was never a conversation
of if you go to college,
it was always when you go to college.
When I went to medical school,
you get to rotate through everything.
I though delivering babies was just
the most fun thing in the world.
But the plastic surgeons had the most fun.
Plastic surgery was not about
sickness, death and dying,
and it was a happy specialty.
That's what attracted me.
You are precious and special.
- Aww thank you
- We loved doing it for you.
As Dr. Sigal once said, we're not curing cancer,
but we operate on people's spirits.
And at some point, we're gonna fix this.
Because Judy grabs this and says dada what's this?
And I go ohhh uhhhmm I'm growing that, okay?
It's something special on me.
I still remember operating on a woman,
who was a psychotherapist.
I said Joyce, what do you think you're gonna get
from cosmetic surgery?
And she says you know I'm not certain.
But I'm expecting some kind of a transformation.
And I showed her her before and after photos.
And she took one look at the photos,
and put them down and says I can't look at those.
I used to think that I just didn't like
the way my face looked.
But in this moment now I realize that I was actually ashamed
of the way I looked.
And the shame is gone.
And I go wow.
It's amazing.
You took somebody who was ashamed of the way they looked,
and now they like the way they look.
Ohhh, that's a life changer.
That's awesome
People look at plastic surgeons as this
wealthy and glamorous.
And we work hard, and we worry,
and we struggle for our patients, and we always
in our minds trying to do it better.
I'm just a country boy that went to medical school
and did what he loved.
Here I go, check it out!
Am I a pretty boy yet?
- [Yobana] Yes
- I am?
- [Yobana] Yes better than Jeff.
- Ha if I ever get him to sleep on my operating table,
you know I'm gonna wake up with a nice head of hair.
We had to put Kooda, our golden retriever,
to sleep this summer, and we miss him.
But now we have a new member of the family.
And he's gonna be just as good as Kooda.
Just give him a while.
(metal clanging)
- Come on buddy!
(snap)
- Let's go out!
Family is fun.
Ya know, kids and dogs.
And it's nice to come home to that everyday, love that.
It's time to go inside.
Come here.
Would you.
Hi Judy, you wanta play ping pong?
Come on baby, don't be so shy.
You can do this.
You wanta play with me?
I've got two boys, twenty-five and twenty-two,
and Judy is six.
It's really nice, she's got two older brothers
who love and adore her.
(laughter)
- Thank you, thak you
Kids are the best thing ever.
And the most difficult thing ever.
But uh,
love my precious little child.
(kisses)
- Love you, awww.
