Dr. LoTempio (00:00):
Hi, I am Dr. Maria LoTempio. I'm a board certified plastic surgeon living in New York City.
Eva Sheie (00:06):
Is it a myth that you have to gain weight in order to have it removed in order to have a BBL?
Dr. LoTempio (00:14):
So this is again, and I have to say, think about this logically. If you're not a normal weight and somebody tells you to go gain 20 pounds, you gain a 20 pounds, I lipo you and I put the 20 pounds in your buttocks. What are you naturally going to do? What's your body naturally going to do? It's probably going to lose the weight because you're not naturally that weight. So and that to me is definitely more of a deterrent for me to hear that because you're going to kill all that beautiful fat that I put in because you're not naturally 140 pounds. Your whole life you told me you're 125 and now you're like 145, and a lot of the young girls don't stay at 145. Now, if we're in our forties and fifties, like me, hey, if I go up to that, I'm staying there for good. I mean, so that's a different story, but for the younger girls, gaining weight is probably not the most ideal for them. The older women, there is some truth to that.
Eva Sheie (01:17):
Where can we see these results of yours.
Dr. LoTempio (01:21):
Ah, RealSelf, online, more importantly, come to my office, fifth Avenue, next to Sephora.
Eva Sheie (01:27):
Is there anything we can see on Instagram?
Dr. LoTempio (01:29):
Yeah, some of them are, except Instagram has an issue now that they constantly take.
Eva Sheie (01:36):
A butt policy.
Dr. LoTempio (01:36):
Yeah, they're constantly taking it down. Now I tell people, go meet your surgeon. Go talk to them. Go see their before and afters. I have 200, 300 slides of BBLs.
Eva Sheie (01:48):
If there are some photos online, there are many more to see when we come to the office.
Dr. LoTempio (01:53):
And those we just can't put online, a lot of them, those are just, we can't for various privacy reasons, confidentiality.
Eva Sheie (02:01):
Too beautiful to see. You just got to come in.
Dr. LoTempio (02:04):
It's all about the beauty of the booty.
Eva Sheie (02:08):

Maria LoTempio, MD
Plastic Surgeon in New York City
Known internationally for delivering dream results, Dr. Maria LoTempio is down-to-earth, compassionate, and committed to helping her patients feel more confident.
Driven to help people near and far love what they see in the mirror, Dr. LoTempio opened a cosmetic practice in Dubai midway through her career and commuted there from New York every four weeks for four years.
Dr. LoTempio’s extended training and niche experiences shaped her into a well-rounded plastic surgeon. Her early background in nursing taught her how to listen, be available, and provide personalized care and support to patients. Later, her surgical background in breast reconstruction solidified her ability to detect whether patients are at risk of cancer or autoimmune diseases before moving forward with surgery.
