are you willing to accept those complications and will you be happy if you end up with a 20% Improvement you clearly have a complication so yeah what's going on with the calf implants I'm 18 I got it done and they were too small I felt like I didn't get what I was looking for in 2014 I got these bigger calf implants wow and then in the week I noticed that my right leg wasn't looking right cuz it was more swollen so I went back to my plastic surgeon and he's like well you're still healing give it time let the swelling go away and I'm like well my left one is okay and my right one is looking kind of purple purple if as you get lower to like the bottom part of my implant I can't feel anything so you have a nerve injury apparently what about pain right one is painful like I can't work out I haven't been working out in years is your pain getting worse is your numbness getting worse with time I feel like my pain is definitely is getting worse I mean it's a million other things like I'm never worn a dress in my life oh really never I have to tape my leg to compress it so that it's not sticking out like a brick all I wanted was bigger calves and now I have deformed purple legs and they don't belong with my body they look like they came from another human being it looks like they put these in behind your knee on each side okay big incisions all right have a seat let me tell you I make an incision through that scar you may think it's a simple matter of just grabbing it and pulling it out that could be buried right in a major blood vessel or a major nerve and just by taking it out it could disrupt a motor nerve and give you a potential foot drop or a problem moving your ankle which is a disaster you are instantly disabled you wake up forever more disabled oh my gosh are you willing to take the risk in getting these out um so I did expect to have an possible complication I already replayed that in my mind many times there's nothing that can be done but to remove them thanks to Dr de bro my horrible implants are out the pain and numbness have vanished completely and now in the morning instead of all that taping and hiding compressing I enjoy a cup of coffee and talk to my legs I look at my legs it's like wow those are mine I love those 1990 changed my life I fell in love with Mariah Carey and her beautiful voice and all through High School actually a lot of the music helped me to find a place where I was comfortable with myself and going through being bullied in school and people making fun of me for being gay the music and the lyrics helped uplift me above all of that right out of high school I moved to monre Louisiana and my drag career began I opened my drag career performing as Mariah I just thought I was Mariah Carri down you couldn't tell me a thing I decided back in about 2001 that I was more of a transgendered woman than a gay male it was a great feeling no knowing that I was going to be in my right body I wanted to become like Mariah Carey so I got breast implants I've been told that I have the best chest in all of Texas and child they always say if you got it flaun it so I do after that I decided to do some silicone work in my face those looked fantastic for oh quite a while but then the silicone was changing my face and all the pictures that I was taking my chin looked ginormous I decided to save up and get facial feminization surgery so that I could have smaller features and get some of the silicone removed with a facial feminization surgery they actually shave down your bones that's when the nightmare started after that surgery all of a sudden I started experiencing a lumpiness in my chin and I started noticing an indention the doct doctor said that swelling is normal that it would take a lot of time for the swelling to go away and the more time that went on the more I noticed that dent when we go in here and play around there's even a risk of making that nerve damage worse the fact that I could come out with more nerve damage on my face is a scary thing because I'm a performer I do shows and your smile is important your smile is what people see just like your eyes are you willing to accept those complications and will you be happy if you end up with a 20% Improvement I'd be happy with any percentage just absolutely yes I would be I'd be happy I am willing to risk that in order to appear more normal for myself before my surgery I had a big old gross dent in my chin and no amount of makeup could hide it people would say what happened to your chin but now thanks to Dr nassi the dent in my chin is completely gone and I have a more round feminine appearance and I'm ready to take center stage and be back in the spotlight Joey hi nice to meet you hi Joey ter it's a pleasure pleasure look at that Tan on you always you guys you know actually you got a tan almost like that you like I was just on vacation I thought Terry was dark when he got that tan nah Joey beat some by m tell us your journey with body implants I was Mr New England in 1986 and was that a bodybuilding Contest no it was like a male version of Miss America I mean it was oh Beauty P it was yes it was swimsuit Formal Wear they did that for men no kiding me this Mr America before I did the implants I had cancer what kind of cancer I was lymphoma okay I went from 155 to 118 wow everybody thought I was dying and you're totally in remission now everything's good everything how many years has it been four so I went to my doctor he said less muscle mass bone density so I did my research and I found in this doctor I like this work what part of the body my biceps because my arms are skinny so that's the operation you had first so what was the result of that so I developed fluid he took the fluid out twice when you put an implant in and fluid continues to accumulate that's called a seroma that's a can be a difficult problem to fix and he said to me the only way I know how to fix that you have to gain 8 lbs and I'll suck the fat on put it back in yeah she had fat gra in your arm yeah over an implant well wait so it gets better never heard of that it gets better wait there's a reason you never heard of tricep implants wait wait you're having a problem with the biceps so so while I was there they put tricep implants I said to him do me a favor make sure they just accent the bicep I said I don't want you know just a little what would you like to happen theoretically just want a normal looking arms so you want normal looking arms that are a little bigger than normal so he wants implants mhm we need to go in and examine you but I want to plant this thought in the back of your head all right plastic surgery procedures the common ones the top 10 they have about a five % complication rate when you go to the unconventional like body implants they have a complication rate way over 35% the reason guys like us don't do this kind of surgery is because the risks outweigh the benefits the complication rate is prohibitive over time this Situation's going to get worse here's what we could help you with we can take the implant out release the scar tissue take the capsule out surrounding the implant and then that'll allow everything to sort of heal okay and look better what do you think I think you gave me some good information and I think I really have some thinking to do for someone who's so concerned about proportionality of the body you're going to have a much smaller bicep and one large right bicep in other words worse than you were in your original preoperative situation it's like living in a house that's not completely built this is only a stepping stone for me I'm going somewhere this we need to do this now to get to where I'm head and no one was buying tickets to this gun show I had a contracted bicep implant and two ridiculously large tricep implants but now thanks to Dr dubo this gun show is sold out
