Paulina Porizkova @paulinaporizkov supermodel is now 58 years old. And she's posted a lot about aging and self-worth. Should we be emulating her? Maybe. Maybe not.

There's one reason why I do what I do as a surgeon. Three patients recently reminded me of this.

"A person who makes few mistakes makes little progress." -  Bryant McGill. 

Well, I have certainly made a LOT of progress then. I hope to talk on this podcast about some of the more interesting mistakes I have made. Here's my first example of a mistake during a breast augmentation procedure.

Of course, life never goes exactly how you expect it will. How will you make the most of it? I talk about this year's college application process in our family.

S03E39 THE ATHLETE I ADMIRE THE MOST

Last week I talked to an athlete at the gym and I decided I admire this person the most, and I wanted to talk about it.

How do we feel when someone makes us question our self worth, our physical attractiveness, or damages our confidence? As a plastic surgeon we have a unique responsibility to our patients, who are often at their most vulnerable when they come to us for our opinions.

Part 2 Last week was about a patient whose self-esteem got dinged, and this week is other situations in the gym and elsewhere where this can also occur.

The new drug, Ozempic (semaglutide) and its related medications Wegovy and Mounjaro are ushering in a new era of seemingly safe appetite reduction and weight loss with no need for willpower and mental effort.

As more patients who are being prescribed these expensive medications off label and speculation grows for every Hollywood star (or even acquaintance) who suddenly appears thinner, what does the future hold for our society in regards to what is the new normal for skinny?

As a plastic surgeon, sometimes the hardest thing to change about someone is their mind, not their physical body. How do you help people around you grapple with their negative self-image if what bothers them physically is something they cannot change?
