That actually would be a great slogan, ‘Brazilian Butt Lifts by Brian: BBL by B.’” (03:46) (Dr. Fayez) “I think the message here is that you have to also really reconsider if it’s worth saving a few dollars or a few thousands dollars, which is nothing to sneeze at. But, when you’re talking about an invasive surgery and your health, you really don’t want to compromise. And, I’ll advise patients that it’s ok to save up for whatever you need to have done and come back when you’re ready. And I think that’s prudent advice.” (08:16) (Dr. Brian) “The ER teaches you a lot about life. And, more importa ntly, it teaches you about things to avoid in life.” (09:26) (Dr. Fayez) “I almost think it’s an epidemic here in the United States of people just of all kinds of backgrounds.
