- What's up good humans. Ien here, the voiceover guy.
It's a really weird time right now
but we hope you're staying safe
and practicing social distancing.
The safety of our cast and crew is of utmost priority,
so everything you're seeing in the next couple weeks
we already shot a couple weeks ago
and we're also trying to shoot some things remotely now.
So stay tuned, in the meanwhile, enjoy the episode.
- [Narrator] What preconceived notions do you have
when you meet someone who got plastic surgery?
While some people are very comfortable
to talk about their experience,
for others it is still a taboo topic.
As they're afraid to be judged by the society.
As you watch this episode of "Odd Man Out And Pick The Mole"
think of what prior judgements inform your decision.
(upbeat music)
- [Male Voiceover] We brought together eight people
who got plastic surgery.
- I got plastic surgery
- I got plastic surgery.
- [Male Voiceover] One of them is a liar.
If the group discovers who the liar is
they'll split a cash prize.
If the liar survives, they win the entire prize.
Who is the odd man out.
- I feel like we should say what we have done,
right? - Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Okay.
- Rhinoplasty.
- I had buccal fat removal and I also got lip fillers.
When they would look at me,
it was kinda like, okay, they're like checking me out,
like up and down to see like.
- I've had moles removed and I'm here to remove the moles.
(chucking softly)
- I've had top surgery.
- I've had rhinoplasty.
- Rhinoplasty.
- I had a few, I had rhinoplasty, labioplasty
and septoplasty.
- Rhinoplasty is a form of plastic surgery on your nose.
Very common ones include removing the dorsal hump,
and other rhinoplasties are to remove nostrils
or make the entire nose smaller.
- How old was everybody when they got their stuff done?
- Mine was two years ago.
- Okay.
- I was 18.
- I was 14.
- I was 19.
- I was in middle school.
- 22.
- 24. - 8 months ago.
(bell ringing)
(upbeat music)
- It's pretty like superficial,
but I felt like she just didn't have the look.
- He said that he got cheek surgery
and I had just never heard of the cheek surgery before.
- [Moderator] All right, it's a three-way tie.
- Oh God.
- Between Adelaide, Whisper and Sage.
So each person has 30 seconds to present their case.
- I was really insecure about how I looked.
I used to have chubby cheeks and I had no lips at all.
So it was just stuff that made me feel a lot better.
And now I feel like I can actually hold my head up high.
So it's stuff that I need, and also my line of work.
- I'm a dancer and I was kicked in the face,
so my septum shifted.
So half of it was to shift my septum back
so I could breathe properly,
the other half was to remove a bump on my nose.
It's still a very large nose,
I'm very well aware of that but it was because of breathing.
- Yeah. So I have had pre-cancerous screening
since I was 10 years old
because my dad died of melanoma skin cancer.
So I have had some precancerous moles
and I've had them removed via plastic surgery
because it can help reduce scarring.
(upbeat music)
(buzzing sound)
- Thank you guys.
Bye.
- [Contestants] Bye. - Good luck.
I probably would've talked
about my consultation a little bit more
and the experience I had with my doctor
and how he made me feel really comfortable.
- So a couple people already did it
but I guess we could go around
and say why we got the surgeries that we did.
- Yeah, totally.
- Okay.
Well I was super insecure about my side profile.
I had a dorsal hump,
so I've always like wanted to nose, the little slope.
- So I had rhinoplasty and septoplasty.
It was mainly for breathing.
- With Anna, it wasn't obvious that she had plastic surgery.
She seemed knowledgeable, but it just kind of seemed
like she was saying the same things
that everybody else was saying.
- So yeah, I had top surgery. I'm trans.
I had very large boobs,
(contestants chuckle softly)
so that's like I don't want those anymore.
So that's how I did my surgery.
- I come from a very Italian family.
So it was that very stereotypical, like Italian nose.
It was a closed procedure,
so they went through the inside, shaved off the bump,
changed the tip a little bit,
and so now I have the sloped nose and all that.
Yeah.
- The amount of girls who had rhinoplasties there
it was one of us.
Anna and Miranda gave very, very convincing answers
and Jade's were a little more stereotypical.
And honestly the look of her nose
she mentioned she had a dorsal hump removed
but there was still a little bit of a bump there.
I'd always been self-conscious of my nose.
And I like begged my parents like no, no, absolutely not.
So I told my parents how about when I'm 18?
They're like, sure, sure.
If you still want it when you're 18
we can help you pay for it.
And I was like, okay.
So when I'm 18, I go up, I'm like, I'm ready.
And they're like, oh seriously,
we didn't think like you'd actually want that.
And I was like, no I do.
So I went ahead and got it.
- The first one was kind of like yours,
it was more correctional
and a lot of people don't know what labioplasty is.
That's surgery on your vaginal area to tighten the skin.
I ended up getting rhinoplasty two years later
and that was kind of more for just cosmetic reasons.
I was in pageants and I just wanted to have a better look
and feel more confident.
- I think, especially in this environment,
when everyone could relate to some kind of plastic surgery
it was very nonjudgmental.
And I think over the years I've been a lot more
like comfortable talking about it.
- For those of you who had to like pay out of pocket,
how much did it end up costing you all?
- Insurance covered some of it
but my parents did pay between eight and 10 K.
- What was covered by insurance?
- The breathing part, because my septum was shifted.
So, I... Yeah.
- I get filler put in
because the revision didn't fix what it was supposed to fix.
But the initial procedure, it was 9,000.
- How long did you wait before you got the revision?
- So I got the first one summer
before I went to freshman year in high school,
and then I got the revision winter break of my senior year.
So yeah.
- Yeah, I paid out of pocket 4,500 for mine.
- I'd always thought you had to have a lot of money
to have plastic surgery.
And I always thought plastic surgery was cosmetic too.
I didn't know that it was also correctional.
- I was still under my parents' insurance when I did it
and I don't know actually how much it was.
I know it was partially covered
because I had the septo and the rhino together.
- Anna had said some of it was covered by insurance
and some of it wasn't.
I was just like, hmm, okay. But like how long ago was that?
When did you get your surgery?
When did you recover?
It wasn't quite lining up in my head.
- No insurance covered it.
It was 10 grand.
Literally since like high school to my first job.
Saved up.
Yeah, little by little.
- That's a lot saving up.
- [Miranda] Yeah.
- Do you feel like there's a stigma with plastic surgery?
- Oh yeah.
- Like in culture that people think that you're vain
if you've had it?
- Oh yeah - For sure.
- Yeah. Especially like cosmetic reasons.
Yeah.
(bell ringing)
- I'm last.
(upbeat music)
(buzzing sound)
Bye, guys.
(buzzing sound)
- Holy moly y'all.
A lot of people probably don't know
about cosmetic surgery on moles.
I think they saw me molin' and they hatin'
- [Moderator] Raise your hand
if you think the mole is still in the box
and you would like to continue the game.
- I feel like it's too soon.
- I feel too.
(contestants chuckling softly)
- So who would you say like supported you the most
through your recovery?
- My mom.
- Yeah, me too.
- My mom like slept in my room for the whole like first week
because I was just in agony and not sleeping.
I always say she's like an angel for doing that.
- Yeah, that's how I feel too.
- Thanks mom.
- I did mine behind my mother's back.
I didn't want them to know.
I didn't want anybody to know.
- Did you tell other people in your life
or no, was it just-
- Not till after,
because I didn't have like as much support going in.
I didn't want them to know that I was getting it done.
I didn't want them to try to stop me.
I just didn't want the negative stigma
to convince me not to do it.
So it was something I did independently on my own.
- My parents were incredibly supportive.
They didn't love that I was getting the surgery at first,
especially with like the whole Jewish identity,
making your nose smaller and getting rid of the bump
is just like kind of erasing your Jewish culture,
which they really weren't pleased with.
But once I got the surgery, they're very loving people.
So they supported me.
- I get that, about the ethnicity
because I'm half Lebanese,
and like a lot of people in my family have ethnic noses.
And one of my cousins asked me that like,
well, if you have kids and they have a bump on their nose
are you gonna tell them they need to change it?
(indistinct crosstalk)
I think there's like this balance
between embracing who you are,
and also recognizing that like, if you change something
and it's gonna give you this much more confidence
then yeah, do that.
Like there's no judgment there.
Who supported you?
- My mom for sure.
She's the one who like took care of me.
Like everyone knew, but my dad doesn't.
Still doesn't.
I mean, he will now.
(contestants laughing)
I was literally gonna send him a link to this,
because like in his eyes I'm his daughter, I'm beautiful.
- Yeah. - Like he didn't want me
to ever do that. - Don't do that.
- Yeah.
So I couldn't, I was too scared to tell him.
- Would you guys say it affected your life in any way?
Like changed anything?
- I mean like confidence for sure.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. 100%.
- For me it was just like being trans too.
Like again, I grew up in Michigan and that wasn't a thing.
So like it was a coupling with like getting the surgery
and also like coming out as trans.
But now I'm like, I look amazing.
Like let's go to a beach or something.
- I think I used to be a little more judgemental
with like, oh, like why do you wear so much makeup
every single day?
I mean, now I wear a lot of makeup
but other people's choices when it comes to self-confidence,
I feel a lot more empathetic towards
because the pain it took to go through that
and making that decision for myself, it took a lot.
And I understand that people are gonna go
to extreme measures to really build their self confidence.
- [Kendal] Yeah.
(contestants chuckling)
- Sorry. (bell ringing)
(upbeat music)
(buzzing sound)
- Bye, guys.
It's a very hard thing to tell.
Mine was pretty typical rhinoplasty story.
So that was like, okay, well it makes sense.
- [Moderator] Raise your hand
if you're certain that the mole is still in the box
and you would like to continue the game.
(Kendal laughing)
- I don't know.
I was second guessing myself.
In my gut I felt like Anna I could possibly be a mole
and I started questioning Miranda
just because I thought maybe she was supposed
to throw us off.
She had the perfect or the typical plastics.
Wait. Ooh, that sounds bad.
- [Moderator] If the lights turn green,
you voted the mole out.
If the lights turn red, the mole is still in the box
and you lose.
- Oh Lord Jesus.
(upbeat music)
(contestants cheering and applauding)
- Oh my God.
- Good job.
Good job. - Oh, my goodness.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you for not lying.
- [Moderator] Can the mole please step forward?
(tense music)
(indistinct crosstalk)
- I knew it.
- I'm like you're all...
Yeah.
(contestants laughing)
Just all of their eyes on me,
I was just like a science project, you know?
And they were just.
I feel like I had my facts down.
I was ready to get specific too,
it's just, they didn't buy mine.
- Make it rain.
- Oh, oh, oh my God.
- I'm so proud of us. Damn.
- No one's gonna dispute me being trans.
I mean, I knew that signing up for it.
I was like, this is like my one to be in.
Like I knew that I would get to the end.
- After all that work.
- It was work.
I feel like I won the lottery.
- Even though I'm such a proponent of there's no look
to being someone with plastic surgery,
I definitely learned to challenge my own beliefs
and judgements because I was definitely looking people
like, okay, who looks like they've had plastic surgery
where I should have reevaluated that a lot.
- Because it's not always about
changing how the world sees you
but it's about being comfortable in the body that you're in.
- I think that people think
that people who get plastic surgery are insecure and vain
and I don't think that's necessarily true.
I think it's a very brave thing to go out
and change your body
for the purpose of loving yourself even more.
- What is virginity?
- No, it's like is...
That's a good question. - Is like oral sex?
Is that?
- [Rachel] Because somebody-
- I'm a virgin.
- I am a virgin.
- I'm a virgin.
- I am a virgin.
- I'm a virgin.
- [Male Voiceover] One of them is a liar.
