In this “Leveling Up” Episode of the Award-Winning PRS Global Open Deep Cuts Podcast, Dr. Lorne Rosenfield discusses safety in plastic surgery, the importance of checklists, his approach to abdominoplasties and the minimal use of liposuction, fleur-de-lis abdominoplasties in non-massive weight loss patients, choosing the right breast implant, why he does not open the neck in a facelift and how he gets good results without dissecting a SMAS flap, placing the lower lid skin excision scar in the mid-lid rather than subciliary, and the most important maxim from his mentor that he keeps in mind every day.
