You all heard maybe about the latest
cosmetic procedure that Kim K went through?
Nothing to do with her face or her butt,
but a surprising body part she says has changed
after pregnancy, her belly button.
So I'm spending my Saturday with Dr. Ourian,
and it (bleep) kills. (squeals)
But it will be worth it.
You guys, I never thought I could love someone
and hate someone so much at the same time.
(laughs) Dr. Ourian!
If anyone that's had babies understands
what it does to your belly button afterwards
and how much your belly button changes,
then you really understand how much you need Dr. Ourian
to tighten around your belly button
so that it can look back to normal.
Not long ago--
What did she just say?
(audience laughs)
I don't know.
I'm not entirely sure.
She looks a little--
She's talking about her belly button, that's all I got.
She's looks happy to be there, though!
Well, she does.
She looked like she had some
facial work done in that video.
(audience laughs)
I think that she was morphed and like shrunk down.
I mean, she looked--
Drew, that's part of the app.
Yeah, can you shrink my head now, right now?
(audience laughs)
Even I know that!
You look handsome!
Yeah, I know the app.
Okay, so, needless to say, not long ago,
she received a belly button lift from cosmetic dermatologist
Dr. Simon Ourian, who joins us now.
So what exactly did you do?
It's actually called belly button lift, but in reality,
Kim and I have known each other for a long time
and so, ever since, after each of her pregnancies,
she's had stretch marks and a lot of weight gain
and weight loss and she tried very hard
and she lost a lot of weight, but as you lose your weight,
your skin kinda hangs loose and starts to become a little
kinda like, on your body you have,
and there's really nothing you can do.
You can diet and exercise, but the skin doesn't snap back,
especially around the belly button,
so the skin in that area starts to get a little bit looser,
so we use the combination of lasers
and ultrasound to tighten the skin in that area
to really tighten it back and to pull it back in.
So especially the skin around the belly button,
those women who have lost a lot of weight realize that
that area is really tight, hard to tighten up,
and this treatment really works for them.
So is it all non-invasive then?
It's all non-invasive.
It's basically using lasers and ultrasound to heat the area,
the underneath the skin to the subdermal tissue
and the skin kind of tighten up and snap back up.
To help arms.
Exactly.
Couple issues though, that it's not going
to address the muscles that have spread, so if somebody
really has an extended abdomen, it's not going to help that.
So precisely, if you have any kinda,
there are a lot of people actually
require to have a tummy tuck, so if the muscles
have been separated and you need
to put the muscles back, then you definitely need surgery.
This is for people who have lost and gained,
and gained and lost weight, and the skin,
just the skin and the subdermal tissue are loosened up,
and we need to pull that back in, and the lasers--
So no structural abnormalities--
So my question is, and you know,
I wanna weigh it because I'm a cutter.
I think abdominoplasty tummy tuck is one of the best things
we can do for women after pregnancy
because you address all of the issues:
excess fat, loose skin, hernias,
if they're there, tighten the muscle as well.
You alluded to it.
It is a trade-off, of a scar, so how much,
how many treatments do you need
and how much are those treatments?
Well, it depends on the person.
So if you have a lot of loose surface skin,
so obviously surgery becomes the only alternative.
But a lot of my patients are size zero,
so especially around their abdomen,
so if you have size zero, one, two, or four,
and they have loose skin, one or two sessions of this
is usually, you end up with really nice results.
Actually these are, you can see that,
just the looseness of skin after,
this is like, two or three sessions,
the skin snaps back in and you get
really nice results with this.
And average price is around five
to $6,000 for all those procedures.
Now, I have a question.
For the women that are curvier,
size 12, 14s, 16s, 18s, that want,
that are working on their body,
they love their curves and everything,
that means more treatments and then,
my next question is stretch marks.
Does that help with the stretch marks?
Yes, because of the fact that actually
skin tightens up, the stretch marks,
the appearance of the stretch marks looks better too.
Also because the fact that you are stimulating
production of new collagen and elastin,
the stretch marks look a lot better and a lot more natural,
or the way they used to look before.
But, going back to your question, which is, you know,
if you are size 10 or eight and 12
and you don't want to lose the weight,
of course the skin tightening up is a lot,
is gonna help with everything anyways,
so it's like getting dressed as one size tighter,
and everything looks nice and wrinkle-free.
For somebody like Kim, is it one treatment?
Yes, in her case it was.
Somebody like her would be, one treatment would be enough.
