plastic surgery is something that we see constantly through reality TV shows and
social media but what is it really like here to talk to us today about the
industry and their experience we have dr. Weston and dr. Knotts from Reston's
Austin Weston Center for cosmetic surgery welcome back to let's talk live
it is great to have you here again for people that aren't familiar with your
practice why don't we talk about that first off sure we're the Austin Weston
center we have been doing exclusively cosmetic surgery for about 38 years we
have a practice of four surgeons it's probably the largest practice of just
cosmetic surgery in all of Washington DC and that makes you practice a little
different having four surgeons in one place correct yes it's very different
most practices they're surgeons are not all under one roof we're all under one
roof we get to consult with each other every day we have probably 70 years of
plastic surgery experience between the four of us and when you're looking to do
something when it comes to plastic surgery that you want experience is what
you really are looking for correct that's what everyone is looking for
exactly let's get to the before and after shots I know people love to see
these and let's start with some of these and we're going to start with a tummy
tuck here and dr. knotts tell me what we're going to take a look at in just a
moment here so this is a woman that's had several children and she's done
having her family and is a little bit less than happy with the appearance of
her body so she has a little bit of extra skin a little bit of extra fat and
we talked about doing liposuction all the way around so she had liposuction of
her flanks liposuction of her abdomen and then removal of that skin that you
see kind of hanging over the underwear tightening of the internal muscles as
well as like I said the circumferential liposuction so that's a three-month
post-operative result you see there and what is the what's the most common thing
that and this is another angle that we're seeing this at yeah this is the
same patient from the side so notice less extra skin hanging over completely
flat abdomen and a little bit of a lift in the buttocks area there where she's
had some liposuction in the flank region so real quickly let's walk through the
time process if someone comes into your office today and it's interested in
a tummy tuck what's the timeline here luckily because we own the surgery
center we own the property we can kind of get people in at their convenience so
it's about a four-hour procedure there's four board-certified plastic surgeons
that are in the building all the time and so someone has to have a certain
date we can almost always accommodate that all right let's go to mommy
makeover we have some more before-and-afters here and dr. Weston tell me what we're
going to be seeing here this is a young woman who's had a couple of children
you'll see that that her Anatomy is different than the lady you just saw
this lady is thin but you can tell that from her previous children that her
musculature of her abdomen has gotten a little bit loose so we did a tummy tuck
and also she has had a breast augmentation so you can see that she has
a better shape in fact she can probably get back to pre pregnancy look you can
see it there how the muscles get loose after pregnancy and what we do is we
tighten the muscles up we did a breast augmentation and now she looks like she
was never pregnant what's the first step that people should do if they are seeing
these pictures right now they're saying that's me that's my body this is this is
what I've been looking for what's the next step I think the the main thing you
want to make certain of is that you've had all your children before you have a
mommy makeover and then after that what you do is you call us for a consultation
you come in we see you we look at you talk to you about what you want look at
your anatomy and see what's possible and then we custom design everything to to
fit what you want and your Anatomy alright we have another before and after
that we're gonna take a look here and now this is uh has to do with the face
and we're going to see that in a moment here and dr. Knotts tell us what we have
here so this is a before and after before on the left after on the right
and I want you to pay attention to some of the symbolism of the face so people
come in and they may not like the way they look but they can't exactly
verbalize what it is and so when we see the kind of the furrows between her
brows on the front picture or the little bags and circles under the eyes and then
here in the lateral picture we see the neck that's kind of excess and hanging
after a facelift and some upper facial surgery she is more youthful more
rejuvenated and those symbols of sort of an aged or tired or angry face are
completely gone you know I we say you shouldn't be able
to tell you have you know we see Hollywood and we see sometimes with
those people look like and you can tell they had work done without the before
and after pictures here you don't see any plastics you would not know that
these people had plastic surgery I think we do plastic surgery on the East Coast
a little different than they do on the west coast we think that if it looks
like cosmetic surgery it's not good cosmetic surgery and even I when I walk
into a room three months post-op I shouldn't be able to tell that you've
had cosmetic surgery until I get like this close that's remarkable it is
remarkable it's undetectable in our final few minutes here let's talk about
the emotional and the number is on the bottom of the screen for anybody it's
watching right now and wants to call for that consultation and get that
appointment booked right now but the emotional the emotions that you get from
patients after they've they've had this these procedures done I I think that we
see transformations all the time sometimes we don't expect them but like
if you look at the last lady's face that was on the screen you could see her
spirit change yes hello yes and and that's what we're going for it's not
just the physicality it's what happens inside after cosmetic surgery that is
the most important thing and that's what most people that have not had any
cosmetic surgery don't realize is that it's a magnificent change and liking
what you see in the mirror afterwards do you ever meet people that thought I
never thought that plastic surgery would be for me and they don't realize it
until after they've been through the process the consultation and we see that
all the time I think that that's the where you start the first the first
phase you go through is I would never have cosmetic surgery okay and then it's
maybe someday I'll have cosmetic surgery and then it's definitely some day I'll
have cosmetic surgery and then it's now is the time great information guys where
can people go for more information we had the number on the bottom of the
screen where else to Austin Weston.com there it is and look at our website and
look at the before and after photos and compare us to all the other plastic
surgeons that are on the first page right it's worth interesting too that on
our website you'll see before and afters of face breasts and body and those are
the most common procedure is that we do but if there's something
else that someone's considering we probably do it we just only have so much
space to put out so but there's hundreds and hundreds of photographs on there to
review well the pictures you saw here today on let's talk live weren't enough
go to the website for more and then call dr. Weston and dr. Knotts and the rest
of the crew over there at Austin weston center for cosmetic surgery and the
great work you guys are doing we appreciate you coming in today as well
