“We have a saying in plastic surgery, ‘The person who has the least experience is the one who tends to do the most.’ For anybody who's thinking about doing something cosmetic, do not try to alter anything more than 85 percent of what you think is ideal. If you abide by that, you will stay out of trouble,” says holistic plastic surgeon & aesthetic rejuvenation specialist Julius Few, M.D. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Few about his concept of “four dimensional beauty,” his skin care principles, and why less is more.

“The first signs of aging often show up in your mouth. Remember, it's one of the most used parts of the body. You know, your skin loses collagen and volume, but so do the teeth. The bones in your face change, the musculature changes, and the teeth can experience things like chipping and discoloration,” says celebrity cosmetic dentist Victoria Veytsman, DDS. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host and mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Veytsman about how the smile changes with age, oral health’s impact on overall health, and the oral microbiome.
