Transcript

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):
According to TikTok, the source of truth for everything, the BBL era is over. Do you agree or disagree?

Dr. LoTempio (00:17):
I wouldn't say that. Maybe my patients, they don't know that quite yet. No, I don't think so. I think it's really the skinny BBL and the more natural BBL and I think that's the real emphasis now, and the trend. The trend is having a BBL, but not really knowing you had a BBL and not having people really say like, oh my God, you had your butt done. I don't think it's more like, wow, you look good. You look like, wow, did you go to the gym and what have you done? So I think that's more of the trend.

Eva Sheie (00:54):
You said skinny BBL. I've looked up what is a skinny BBL, and I got a lot of different answers that included things like a skinny BBL is for girls that don't have much fat, but still want a more projected rounded booty, or someone younger than 50 with a BMI of 24 or less. I think that must have been a doctor saying that that's a clinical, very clinical answer, or just more natural or basically just a smaller butt. How would you define the skinny BBL?

Dr. LoTempio (01:26):
Well, when I think of that phrase, I kind of think of the girl being, the woman being skinny and not a lot, having a whole lot of work. And I get a ton of those patients because my motto is, I could get fat from a rock.

Eva Sheie (01:42):
That's your motto?

Dr. LoTempio (01:45):
Yeah. My nurses laugh at me. I'm like, don't worry if you have fat, Dr. LoTempio is going to get it. Believe me, it'll be gone.

Eva Sheie (01:52):
Where do you find it?

Dr. LoTempio (01:52):
I'm very, I can't tell you my secrets

Eva Sheie (01:58):
Somewhere on the body.

Dr. LoTempio (02:01):
I, there's my favorite go-to spots that never, pretty much never let me down. And yeah, I mean, it's the torso and then when you really need extra help, you go to the extremities, but the torso is really the best fat. I think it's the healthiest fat and it's the fat that likes to stay longer.

Eva Sheie (02:23):
Where can we see these results of yours?

Dr. LoTempio (02:26):
Ah, RealSelf, online, more importantly, come to my office, fifth Avenue, next to Sephora.

Eva Sheie (02:32):
Is there anything we can see on Instagram?

Dr. LoTempio (02:34):
Yeah, some of them are, except Instagram has an issue now that they constantly take.

Eva Sheie (02:41):
A butt policy.

Dr. LoTempio (02:41):
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 (02:53):
If there are some photos online, there are many more to see when we come to the office.

Dr. LoTempio (02:59):
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 (03:06):
Too beautiful to see. You just got to come in.

Dr. LoTempio (03:10):
It's all about the beauty of the booty.

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.
