As we age, we accumulate lots of "things" on our skin.  Moles, age spots, seborrheic keratoses, cherry angiomas, capillaries, skin cancers, skin tags...and so much more.  These "things" are distracting from our appearance and so easy to fix.  On this show, we discuss how plastic surgeons "fix" those things and how you can look so much better with one short session.  

I love the Apple TV show "Shrinking".  But take a look at the characters - Harrison Ford has a terrible chin scar with a mole or "dog ear" at the end.  Jason Segal has an unattractive mole on his right marionette line.  Jessica Williams has an ugly mole on her left upper lip, Lukita Maxwell as a large mole on her right cheek, Brett Goldstein has a huge mole on his left neck, and Kenajuan Bentley has a group of skin tags and keratoses on his right cheek!  What is going on here?  There's nothing attractive about moles.  Can someone let the cast know that I can remove those unsightly things in less than an hour!  On this show, we discuss mole removal,  Tune in!

While the vast majority of cosmetic surgery procedures are performed on women, men do have facelifts, eyelid lifts, liposuction, and breast reductions.  This is the long awaited show on men's cosmetic surgery procedures!  Tune in to learn about the procedures that men have most commonly.  

Facelifts are the traditional methods of facial rejuvenation.  But sometimes older somewhat forgotten methods work well in special situations.  On this show, we discuss direct excision of the turkey gobbler neck skin and direct excision of the nasolabial folds for very deep folds.  Tune in!

It takes 14 years after high school to become a plastic surgeon. After medical school, it's a difficult 6 year residency.  The first year doctor (intern) learns fundamental techniques in surgery and how to take care of patients.  By the end of the 6 years, the surgeon performs their own procedures.  On today's show, I speak with 2 plastic surgery residents from the Rutgers New Jersey program.  We discuss how the Internet and Influences have made it more difficult to communicate with prospective patients.  

We also discussed the procedures that are best performed during the cold of the winter.  Tune in!

Dr. Michael Roizen joined the show to discuss foods, lifestyle changes, and medical advances that will make 90 years old the new 40 years old!  Tune in to a fascinating interview.

Lasers (light energy) are commonly used tools in plastic surgery.  The CO2 laser destroys wrinkles and brown spots.  The YAG laser erases capillaries and cherry angiomas. The diode laser vaporizes hair.  And other energy devices like Ultherapy (sound energy) can lift brows and jowls and tighten crepey skin.  On this show, we discuss the different types of lasers and what they can do for you.  We also discussed removing moles from cosmetically sensitive areas.  

You don't have to look far to see overdone plastic surgery.  Some people go so far as to become freakish.  On today's show, we discuss how American cosmetic surgery has gone "big" compared to European cosmetic surgery.  And we discuss how artistic plastic surgeons try to help you look better...more natural...and less like you've been "done".  Tune in.

Facelifts are increasingly popular.  But they are not without risk.  Minor or even major bleeding can occur after this procedure.  Plastic surgeons have used drains, tight dressings and tranexamic acid have been used to control bleeding but the most important factor (other than good surgical technique) is excellent blood pressure control - during and after the procedure.  On this show, we discuss the methods plastic surgeons use to control bleeding with facelift surgery.  We also discussed the multitude of procedures that have been developed to make aging ears look better.

Plastic surgery is filled with procedures that are costly but provide incredible improvements in appearance.  And then there are lower cost procedures that make a huge impact in appearance - I call those the biggest bang for your buck procedures.  On this show, we discuss mole removal, liposuction of the neck and jowls, chin implants, the CO2 facial laser, and Wrinkle filler, with a an honorable mention to breast lifting and laser removal of women's chin hair. Tune in.

By the time you hit your fifties, you begin to show the signs of aging.  It starts with a few fine wrinkles and then some splotchy pigmentation.  Then you see the jowls and finally - the turkey gobbler!  On this podcast, we discuss facial rejuvenation - from skincare to microdermabrasion to minor procedures like Botox and fillers... and ultimately to facelifting.  Tune in
