Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about anti-aging in the second half of life with Dr. Jason Diamond. Dr. Diamond is a Board-Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Beverly Hills, specializing in surgical & non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Diamond has developed a long standing reputation for making his patients look youthful, yet completely natural, as seen on E! Network's hit reality television show, Dr. 90210. "My patients don't look done," Dr. Diamond says. "They just look great." Dr. Diamond is sharing the tools we need to rejuvenate, refresh and radiate ourselves in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Dr. Diamond's journey to becoming one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the world and how he created the Diamond "Insta-Facial" and Diamond Sculpting filler technique, to make women look ageless.

In this episode, we found the sweet spot in learning about the aging of the face. We learned Dr. Diamond's philosophy on the art of plastic surgery, the benefits of certain procedures vs. others, augmenting our facial structure, and things we need to know as red flags, before we commit to letting work be done on our faces. If you ever wanted to know more about facial plastic surgery or about almost every facial procedure under the sun… this is the episode for you.

Dr. Diamond talks to us about the stigma that often surrounds facial plastic surgery, and why it is important that we do what we want for us, not external validation.. Social media has played an important role in reducing the stigma of getting procedures and plastic surgery, but it has also made people have unrealistic expectations. Dr. Diamond talks about how clients often come to see him and expect to "look like Kim Kardashian," when in reality, Dr. Diamond is an expert at highlighting one's own facial features and emphasizing all of the right contours of your face. He talks to us about how he created the practice that he has today, and how he became an expert from learning from all of the top experts. He was able to pick up thousands of different techniques to create the Diamond methods that he uses today.
