Facial Plastic Surgery trends and how to address them, difference between outcome ideals, symmetry, facial flow, what’s a modified upper lip and ways to handle malicious reviews. Dr. Ben Talei MD is a well-rounded double fellowship trained surgeon.

As a past carpenter, private inspector (PI), ski instructor, car and boat racer, and piano player Dr. Talei brings a well-rounded life viewpoint to his practice. He gives a fun story discussing why he went to facial surgery instead of orthopedics and then why plastic surgery instead of cancer removals and the like.

What started as an appreciation for the facial surgery procedures and technicality blossomed into a personal challenge to always be creative and expect the best out of yourself. As a bonus, not only does he love his job, but the patients are happy and he gets to do a passion of his, teach.

Dr. Talei hated telling patients they have cancer and may pass away, now with his pediatrics fellowship, he still can remove cancer but these are not life threatening.

Prematurely confident: what are the positives and negatives of such an attitude?

What role does surgical trends and “societal norms of beauty” play in doing rhinoplasty and other facial cosmetic surgeries?

MACS plication lift, are they outdated and why is tying in the fat and muscle considered a more natural look (deep plane facelift)? When talking about trends that are wrong versus trends that are pioneering, how does the doctor tell them apart?

What type of politics are involved in getting revolutionary surgical techniques published?

What are some of the reasons a surgeon may continue to do a seemingly outdated procedure instead of doing what is the latest and greatest?

Modified Upper Lip procedure: He specializes in this procedure. Listen to learn more about it and why someone would have this done.

Why would you avoid filler in your lip and choose the modified upper lip procedure? A button and suspenders type of lift: pull up on the straps and get more accent on the cupids bow and you get a sexy upturn of the lip showcasing teeth when you smile.

Ideals vs Symmetry vs Flow: you can’t always get what you want. Unrealistic goals and body dysmorphia, how do you screen for these people.? Is symmetry all that its shaped up to be?

Can Dr Talei make you look like you did 20 years ago or fix a nose job that you weren’t happy with?

What happens if you don’t pick up on a body dysmorphic person?

How to handle bad reviews and trolls? Can you sue someone for defamation based on aggressive distribution of false reviews?

Near the end he shares a story about how one of his surgeries changed someone’s life, grab a tissue.

Dr. Ben Talei graduated from UCLA, UC San Diego School of Medicine, Residency at Columbia University in head and neck surgery, and did two separate fellowships in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, but also specializes in vascular birthmarks and congenital anomalies (pediatrics).

Jessica Riddle talks to Dr Trosclair on A Doctors Perspective Podcast.

Starting and planning your own seminar, 1 on 1 meetings, ideas for blog content marketing creation, social media influence tips, organizing an evidence based CE speaker bureau, live chat on your website, and why Pinterest with Jessica Riddle.

Regardless of what type of business you own it can get lonely at the top so it’s really important to build or join a community.. not just of patients but of colleagues or other professions and business owners.

When doing One on One meetings with other business owners over coffee, what are a few good conversational questions to ask and how do we cultivate those relationships correctly? Hear what she means by curiosity and contribution vs what can I get from this meeting.

What can I do for this person, is a question you should ask yourself prior to the meeting.

Is it advisable to go and meet your neighbors and local businesses? If so, what are a few keys to success?

Putting on a Seminar: Jessica has helped organize and plan all aspects of putting on a seminar, including the branding, marketing, course title and description, state requirements, finding a venue and more. Take a listen to learn more about this logistical feat.

State associations have all sorts of rules and we discuss some of the odd ones and pitfalls.

Mrs. Riddle plans to create an Evidence Based Speaker Bureau to help with associations pick better speakers and curriculum that will broaden what they offer and also know that they have been pre-vetted and will make the practitioners skills improve. Nobody likes to attend a mandatory seminar that doesn’t present valuable evidence based material or the same speakers from the same sponsors year after year.

This Speaker Bureau will have everything organized by topics and course descriptions as well as a short video to see the speaker in action. Better education and opportunity for others to enhance their skills.

How does being inconsistent in your Social Media presence cause more damage than good? What does consistent look like?

How to repurpose a blog post? How to create a blog post? Should you outsource that creation?

Listen for many sites and apps to automate many aspects of your clinic site (like Live Chat) and social media posts.

Learn how to use hashtags because it broadens your reach. We talk trends, secrets and how to’s to expand your reach from hashtag usage.

What makes a good blog article? How to write for your audience? Any shortcuts that you can use if you feel less than creative, we cover that too (as in should you use Fiver and outsource the articles). Jessica even talks about how to make the blog post readeable for patients on complicated injuries and conditions and ways to find inspiration on topics to cover. Hint: you talk about potential “blog articles” all day with your patients.

After you have written a blog post, Jessica gives us way to repurpose it.

Mrs. Riddle uses a program called intercom to have live chat box on her site. You can automate to answer the most common questions or just answer live. We talk about that in the 48 minute area.

Facebook Messenger allows you to have a livebot on your site, and Jessica of sports seminars talks details on how to use that too.

How does Pinterest fit into your advertising and brand exposure? Really great tips are offered for work but also for personal use, like receipts.

She has a request. How do you find out about and ultimately decide to take certain CE classes versus others?

Lastly, we talk about the Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance and behind the scenes of ForwardKC2018 event that happened in June. A shoot out to the sponsors of the event and the ACA.

She even sprinkles in ways to stay connected when you have two entrepreneurs in the family who travel a lot.

Dr. Ben Paul MD talks to Dr Trosclair on A Doctors Perspective Podcast

Hair transplants that look real and age appropriate, PRP for hair restoration, importance of aesthetic placement of the transplant hair vs the harvest method, cleft lip reconstruction mission trips and more from double board certified Dr. Ben Paul MD.

Dr. Benjamin Paul is a double board certified Facial Plastic and Hair Restoration Surgeon. Dr. Paul practices in Manhattan and has developed quite the reputation for his rhinoplasty, facelift and eyelid surgery, and hair restoration. You can expect long lasting, natural results and on this week’s podcast you get to meet the doctor and really experience the passion he has for helping others.

When we talk about excellence in our craft, once you hear Dr Paul’s “why facial plastics” story you will get instant respect for him. He discusses his 7 year educational plan and why he would recommend that to others. Also, why did he choose ENT as his residency at NYC. Then once he finished his board certification in facial plastics, I think you will love the story and reason and collaboration for why he went even further in his clinical education to get board certified in hair restoration.

If you can link multiple ‘simple’ procedures together and master each step, then apply that system to a complicated surgery like hair transplants, then Dr. Paul could create a systematic approach that has never been done before.

He has done well over 400 rhinoplasty in his fellowship training alone and we discuss what to look for and expectations from this surgery.

Dr. Ben Paul has gone 5 times to Peru and other countries to work on cleft lip and palette children as pro bono. We talk about the differences in the procedure for local citizens versus the set up and outcomes when you do 30+ surgeries in a week (surgeries that otherwise would never be performed for these children).

Hair Transplants VS PRP for hair growth – what are the differences? Also, does he do plugs or are the recent technologies much more advanced?

Why do men rarely lose the hair on the back of your head but lose so much on top?

Aesthetic placement of the transplant hair is vitally important, pick your surgeon carefully. How does he decide and what makes him unique in his hair transplants approach?

Hundreds of follicular units are harvested so how does Dr .Paul determine when to use the single unit vs the multiple hair units for the hairline. By the way, this procedure lasts your whole life.

PRP is like fertilizer to the hair that you have left, assuming the hair you have left is alive and just hasn’t been “watered and taken care of” for a while. PRP for hair is spun down a special way to maximize the long action growth factors.

Why wouldn’t you use PRP? Why not use A Cell (fetal pig bladder matrix) and stick to the PRP?

Some places talk about robots taking out the hair, but listen to why Dr. Ben Paul says the “marketing’ of harvesting is irrelevant and that the skill of placement is paramount.

I think you will be shocked at how fast the recovery time is.

Warnings about using Biotin for hair loss are discussed as well: spoiler it doesn’t work and could hide other issues if taken in high amounts. Dr. Paul gives a story about this.

-Be The Type Of Doctor You Would Want To Send To.

Dr. Paul tells a powerful patient story that really gets to the heart of why he went to 10 years of schooling.

Near the end he has a unique ritual with his staff each morning as well as his Safety Rule for Squash.

Exploring ways that the doctor – patient relationship with LGBTQ population can be more comfortable and inclusive. Dr. Dana Stachowiak PhD gives ample ideas and stories of doctor offices doing it right and wrong. We touch on intentions, Christianity and unknown biases we may carry.

Dr. Dana Stachowiak PhD went to Western Michigan, Winthrop University for her masters and PHD from UNC Greensboro in Cultural Studies and Education. Dr. Stachowiak has worked at University of Louisiana- Lafayette in Diversity Multicultural Education and is now at University of North Carolina- Wilmington. Her primary focus is social and cultural issues and trends in education.

We begin with a story of her being out right fired for being in the LQBGT (before she came out) and how that propelled her to pursue a PhD. We relate that to how this happened ten years prior to people and fast-forward ten years and it’s still happening. A couple stories early on in the episode really drives the point home of, Am I going to be in a safe place or am I going to be discriminated against, as real valid concerns that most LQBGT ask themselves everyday.

What can doctors do to make LQBGT persons feel uncomfortable or comfortable in the office?

Resilient and Intuitive are two words she uses describe herself and sometimes it’s that gut instinct when meeting new people where you can tell if someone is trying to be inclusive or is more uncomfortable and dismissive and ready for you to leave. Dr. Stachowiak elaborates more on these attributes.

How important it is for Doctors to check your own biases about the LQBGT population, and why would you want to?

Anything off limits?

What can we include/exclude from even our own paperwork (we discuss at least 3) and intake forms that could allow for more inclusion in your office? The answers and ways to implement might be surprising to some.

When it comes to gender vs biology what ways can doctors ask questions and address names that are more comfortable and respectful for LQBGT persons.

How do we pick to use the him/her/them pronouns? We all make mistakes and if someone prefers Them vs She but what your intention is can really make a difference to how they take that mistake. In other words, if your trying vs not can be seen, and it matters.

Doctors tend to pick up on how a patient describes things: I see, I hear, I feel. Is it any different to pick up on how a person wants to be called?

Look at your office walls and posters. Are they all white people? Do you have a mix of colors as well as LQBGT persons or health concerns that might be more of concern for non-whites and straight people?

Anything they want to discuss with their doctor that is generally ignored because the doctor is shy or nervous or afraid to be judged?

Knowing that some people can Pass as straight but aren’t and others Look not straight, what are ways to check your bias and not make someone feel self-conscious and not welcome?

How do you see discriminatory practices?

Dr. Dana makes a comment, wait I’m nice to hang out with and I’m gay… why couldn’t it be I’m just fun to be around… not In Spite Of but with no modifiers at all.

Reasons to escape your Echo Chamber.

We even discuss being Christian and gay and how complicated interactions can be with those who love everything about you- except in that one area.

Tips for long distance relationship and the importance of having your own friends.
