With, liposuction, you’re not losing fat alone. You don’t lose fat alone. You’re losing water weight and poop and inflammation and salt. You’re losing pure fat cells and that’s permanent. Adults do not make back fat cells, so when you suck out your fat cells, they do not grow back. It is permanent.

Myrna: Tell us how you became a plastic surgeon
Dr Bilge: My story starts when I was working in the emergency room; I had a problem getting a good night sleep, so my primary care doctor prescribed a sleep aide that wasn’t addictive, but it was prescription strength. She prescribed me a medicine. What happened ultimately was when, in September of 2015, I was getting ready to work a shift the very next morning at 6am and I was had taken my medicine the night before. About an hour after I had I found myself face down in a dark in my dark living room, in a pool of blood. I didn’t know it was blood because it was dark. I got up and I went to the bathroom and my entire face was crushed.
Myrna: I guess you blacked out blacked out I’m assuming.

Life events leading to plastic surgery
Dr Bilge: Exactly right. I didn’t know at the moment, but obviously, in hindsight, what we discovered was my heart had stopped from medicine. When your heart stops, it’s not like a fainting spell where you’re dizzy and then you fall and usually your hands block your fall. I had what they call a drop attack. So essentially, I went from upright to face down. I must have been sleepwalking. I crushed my skull in four places. I had fractures in my forehead, my orbit my nose. I had lacerations, I was concussed, and I was essentially a vegetable for a period of time, especially in the beginning. I spent some time in the ICU, and then about a month later, I was right back in the ER.
Myrna: Wow I really understand why you became a, plastic surgeon.
Dr Bilge: All right, so that was one big wake up call. And I can honestly say I was already starting to have these Inklings or intuitions about my career in life. Because the burnout was real, and I wasn’t ready to accept that. I had been forewarned that that was a potential for many ER doctors, but I just thought I would be able to avoid that kind of consequence, but I wasn’t able to obviously. So, the burnout got worse.
Less than a year later, I was again working in the emergency department. I was actually at home when I first developed a pain in my neck. And it was within 24 hours while I was working my shift in the emergency department, the pain started to migrate down my arm to the point where I felt like I had a broken shoulder, and I was like what is this? And it went into my fingers. So, it wasn’t a sudden rupture like my disk had literally popped out and compress my nerves in that timeframe. So, it was like a heart attack with my arm.
Myrna: Wow because the symptoms of a heart attack is pain in your arm right
Dr Bilge: Yeah, but it wasn’t my heart. It was my nerve. So ultimately, they did an MRI of my neck, and they found that my disc must have been weakened from the injury the year before and now was pinching my nerve.
The pain was so bad, they were literally trying to put me on unconscious to try to suppress the pain. When a nerve is in pinch, it’s not like a heart attack, blood flow or nerve flow is impinged quickly. There’s really no comparable pain on this planet to it. I ended up having emergency surgery to have part of my disc removed and pushed back in place. Thankfully nothing fused. So, I have good mobility, but I almost lost all function of my arm.

Introduction to high-definition liposuction
Myrna: Did your nerve regenerate?
Dr Bilge: Yes, it did, but it took me months. Then I went through another life trauma and decided to find another career. A friend of mine learned how to do, high-definition liposuction. In the meantime, when he was out doing his thing, and he’s like, I can teach you that and I’m thinking, are you serious? Is this a possibility? So, these are the life events that led to becoming a, plastic surgeon.
Myrna: I want to ask you a question. You said that you couldn’t sleep. So, the doctor gave you something and that’s what happened. So, is melatonin safe? Because they’re saying that, melatonin, is actually very good for you and I take, melatonin. So, is that like the only safe sleeping aid?
Dr Bilge: I actually don’t consider it a good sleep aid. Because it’s naturally formed in our body and taking external, melatonin, you’re actually suppressing your own body’s ability to create it. So no, I don’t consider that as a sleep option.
Myrna: Okay, is there any good options for someone that’s reading this? Because, you know, they say that in America 70% of people can’t sleep. And that came out when Michael Jackson had his problem because he couldn’t sleep, and they said that 70% of Americans can’t sleep. Now doctors prescribe, melatonin. But you’re right. You’re messing with your, circadian rhythm, but if your, circadian rhythm, is off and you can’t sleep, what should people do?

Plastic surgery liposuction
Dr Bilge: There’s no simple answer for that. And I personally have the thought that other than specifically vitamins, I would always work on people’s methods of sleep through, mind body techniques.
Myrna: What kind of, plastic surgery, do you do? I know that you said something about, liposuction. You talked about injectables and all that. So, are you a full body, Plastic Surgeon? Are you just working with the face? So. tell us what kind of, plastic surgery, you do.
Dr Bilge: As a, plastic surgeon, I don’t perform, plastic surgery, techniques such as, tummy tucks, and, breast lifts or, breast augmentation. Those do require more training. What I specifically do, like my bread and butter is the, high-definition liposuction, with a technology called, Fun sculpting, which has a very interesting term. But the reason it’s unique is it’s the only type of, liposuction, that will not rip, cut, tear, or kill tissue.
I talk with my patients about the differences between, different types of, liposuction, and most people know the classic, liposuction, as what’s offered in the United States, that’s about over 90% of what’s available. And it’s unfortunate because it’s really old technology, and it’s exactly what you see on TV, that brutal arm movement of the doctor.
It’s a vacuum on a stick, and it’s really not ideal for a variety of body parts because it can destroy the tissue underneath, which is what I mean when I say rip, cut, tear when you’re making those powerful arm movements with a cannula. You’re literally pushing through the tissue in a forceful manner and causing destruction of those fibers that hold the skin to the muscle. I talk to my patients about myself. I’m a guinea pig. I’ve had, liposuction, myself twice. The first time the old school way not knowing that the other ways existed.

Difference between high-definition liposuction and traditional liposuction
To be clear and honest is not necessarily their bread and butter. They don’t want to do the traditional, liposuction, because it’s labor intensive. On it takes more time to get the job done. So, they’re thinking, why not make the same amount of money doing the, tummy tuck, in two hours as opposed to, liposuction, that would take four hours.
The other cool selling point of this particular technology the, high-definition liposuction, is that I can do the, liposuction, in areas that most doctors say it’s not a good place to do it, because the machine vibrates. It’s like a sewing machine and it allows me for me to go in areas that otherwise would have required surgery. I can do great job with the fat on the arm. I can do a great job with bellies. In fact, I’m not really sure if you’ve ever heard of what a Panis is, but a panacea is when you have an abdomen that flaps over.
Myrna: So how does, high-definition liposuction, work? Does it suck out the fat or freeze the fat?
Dr Bilge: Oh, it does suck it out. It does suck it, but the technology is vibratory, so it let get me into tissue without pushing. So, I’m not destroying. If you were to look at me doing the surgery, I look like any other lipo surgeon except for my hands are not pushing really hard. That’s the difference. I’m not ramming a vacuum I am gently pushing.

What is CoolSculpting
I hate, CoolSculpting, I’m not that kind of person who beat around the bush with opinions.
Myrna: So, is CoolSculpting, cheaper?
Dr Bilge: No, that’s the problem. CoolSculpting, is a quote non-surgical way of killing fat, but there’s no guarantee of the percentage of fat you’re gonna lose. So, you sit there, and you pay something in the 1000s for a maybe. There’s no way I would ever tell somebody that’s the way to go. You want to know that fat is falling away. I’ve had people come to me and tell me they’ve spent $10,000 plus dollars for, CoolSculpting, and got maybe 10 to 15% fat loss: that’s not a valuable project.
With, liposuction, you’re not losing fat along. You don’t lose fat alone. When you’re losing weight. You’re losing water weight and poop and inflammation and salt. That’s what when you’re losing pure fat cells and that permanent. Adults do not make back fat cells, so when you suck out your fat cells, they do not grow back. It is permanent.
Myrna: I heard that so thank you for confirming that.
Dr Bilge: That is why childhood obesity is a big issue, right? Because if you children are born with let’s, say 5 million fat cells, and you overfeed a child, you will create 10 million fat cells and the child is going to fight that for the rest of their life. But as an adult it’s different. So, this is what I tell my patients, you make your size, I make your shape.
I was a perfect example. I show pictures of my body. I had gained almost 40 pounds. I was feeling that emotional stuff. That stuff I was telling you about. It was a few years after my injury, I was almost 150 pounds and these images I have, but you would never think that because I still had the hourglass figure, and I had no love handle.
Because again, my shape was the same. It was just a bigger version of me. So that’s something that that’s really helpful for people is, you know, let’s say you have love handles that you can’t stand or saddlebags. Once those get suctioned out, they’re gone forever. You can still gain weight, but it’s gonna go all over your body in all the other places in the same shape.

Metaphysical life hacks for transformation
Myrna: So, you also have some, metaphysical life hacks, which is definitely what we want to talk about. What are those, tell us about that?
Dr Bilge: Oh, I’m basically through all of the experiences I’ve had over the last few years I’ve really started homing in on, personal development, and I’ve started steering away from a lot of the allopathic medicine. I used to feel like there was a pill for everything and now I’m like, there’s no pill for nothing. Because I started doing more research in the scientific realm, from scientists who started understanding the, mind body connection, but also using their scientific background to show the science. So, two examples I can give you are, you are the Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza. And the Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton.
I have a new understanding of, quantum physics, and the fact that things can change in a quantum nanosecond, and that matter really isn’t matter. It’s really just little vibrating tornadoes of energy, that you can shift matter in such a way that you can heal with the mind. So, I became a perfect example of that. One example would be peptic ulcer disease. I had peptic ulcer disease or acid reflux in my stomach from age 16. Up until about three years ago, literally, I’m cured of the disease. How not because I took pills for 25 years, which I did.
It was because I learned about my energy center in my stomach and what I was dealing with emotionally. I was creating that and once I was cured out of it, I was starting to meditate myself into my own healing. In hindsight, when you’re asking about metaphysical anatomy, I share this book with people it’s called Metaphysical Anatomy. And you literally read a diagnosis such as peptic ulcer disease and the emotional disorders that are associated with that. And it was like I was reading my diary, like I have read like somebody had written my childhood and my early adulthood in that chapter. And it made so much sense in my mind, but because at that point, I was cured. I shifted my thoughts and changed my life.

Self-healing with meditation
Myrna: I agree, I got rid of my, sciatica nerve pain, by just breathing into it meditating and relaxing.
Dr Bilge: Your sciatic nerve is in your, root chakra, just so you know. So, the root chakra, is where the base of all things, so it’s like your tribal history, your history of ancestors. It’s about money. It’s about power, and it’s about sex. So, if any of those areas in your life are impacted, then those root chakra areas will be impacted. Mine was a, self-empowerment, thing. So, it was my solar plexus self-power.
Okay, so, that whole thing about what I told you being separated from my parents, it was during that time that I started on creating more self-power, because I realized I had grown up becoming a people pleaser. I was becoming a more authentic version of myself and swallowing those parts of me that weren’t being received well and becoming a performer.
Myrna: Whatever you stuff down is still in there and shows up when triggered.
Dr Bilge: Exactly, So it’s still right back up. So as soon as I started addressing the problem directly, like you said, then the system started improving. So that’s what we do when patients come here for consultations, because really, this is not just about your body image. It’s not just about having a few fat cells extra in your armpit or whatever. It’s not about that. It’s about the self-sabotage, right?
You look in the mirror and judging the constant thoughts in your head that are self-sabotaging. And what do you do with that you translate that energy out into the world. And so, you’re literally thinking about how fat your tummy is. And that energy is constant. It’s the butterfly effect. You’re constantly putting that out. And I say to people, this isn’t just about the, liposuction. This is about how you think about yourself.

Liposuction post care
Myrna: How is your, liposuction post care, different from other post operative treatments?
Dr Bilge: So, when it comes to, liposuction, there are a few countries in the world that are extremely well versed and experienced for example Colombia, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico is pretty big. Their procedures are better because of the level of experience and it’s just the thing that people do out there. In the US people smirk or scoff at cosmetic surgery because there’s more of a stereotype associated with it, etc. Whereas in countries like that, it’s just part of their journey. Like if you didn’t have it, you’re the weird one.
So, they go they have their, liposuction surgery, and then in the recovery house, they have nurses and postdoc care technicians doing, lymphatic drainage, they do needle aspiration of extra fluid. Once they’re healed enough, they do wooden tool. They’ve got machines like radio frequency, ultrasound, carboxy therapy. All of those things take a bit to explain, but let’s just say it’s a whole complement of equipment, and treatment options for patients once they’d have, liposuction surgery.
I would equate it to having physical therapy after you have a knee replacement. You certainly wouldn’t skip out on that. So, when you do procedure that’s cosmetic, specifically, liposuction, is a real important one. There’s a lot of swelling involved because you have to fill their tissue with fluid in order to extract the fat. The swelling can cause scar tissue and a hardening etc. That all has to be addressed Postoperatively so the surgery does most of the work, but you still need to get in there and optimize your results.
So, what I did was flew my staff out to the east coast and we were trained by Colombian nurses, how to take care of post op label patients in the way they do.
