Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Class

Once you decide to go forward with facelift surgery, there are a few more important decisions to make. Dr. Bass teams up with facial plastic surgeon, friend, and colleague, Dr. Jason Bloom to guide you through each of these key decisions in the facelift journey.

Many people need other procedures in conjunction with a facelift or necklift, but are unaware of what other procedures may need to be added. If you make the mistake of leaving an obvious aging feature untreated, you'll end up getting another procedure in the near future, necessitating another OR fee and recovery period.

Find out what a facelift can and cannot accomplish, which features typically need separate facial rejuvenation procedures, and at which point it becomes too much for one day and you will need to return for additional procedures.

Hear Dr. Bass and Dr. Bloom's wise advice about what to look for and how to find and choose a surgeon whose artistry and style of facelift aligns with your vision.

What's in store for the future of medical aesthetics? Dr. Bass gives an inside look at where we are right now and his expert predictions.

Injectable fillers and neuromodulators began to gain momentum in the 1990's, and the rate of innovation with these technologies has been expanding ever since. These advances in non-surgical treatments will continue to decrease the need for big restorative surgery and revolutionize aesthetic medicine.

As technology continues to improve, we can expect to see the use of artificial intelligence and imaging tools to help people visualize their potential results and and help plastic surgeons better tailor treatments for their patients' individual needs.

The timing of breakthroughs cannot be accurately predicted, but expect an emphasis on biologicals and possibly stem cells or other cell-based therapies to play a significant role in helping people maintain a youthful and healthy appearance by "reprogramming" the skin to act as if it were younger.

Dr. Steve Cohen, an internationally recognized plastic surgeon and the co-author of Regenerative Facial Surgery, joins Dr. Bass to look into the future of regenerative medicine within aesthetics.

Regenerative medicine focuses on enabling tissue regeneration in the body and restoration of normal function in cells, organs, or tissues to help the body regenerate or restore itself when there's an aging change or a disease. Regenerative therapies not only provide an aesthetic improvement in appearance, but actually alter the physiology of aging, slowing the process.

Though the aesthetic industry has already come a long way, we are just starting to see the impact of regenerative medicine in all fields of medicine. Hear about the research, past, current and future, related to regenerative medicine and find out what's out there to help now.

The goal of plastic surgery is to create balance and proportion as it creates a natural look, not an extreme one. Most people considering plastic surgery aren't interested in looking overdone.

Some people are willing to accept that they are going to be walking around with telltales that they've had plastic surgery, but most only want a few close friends or family members to know. They want a plastic surgeon who will keep them looking natural while touching up their appearance.

Because it's very hard to undo some of the surgical telltales, preventing and avoiding these problems is always the best approach.

Dr. Bass' delivers expert advice for how to avoid the "done" look and an overview of plastic surgery techniques meant to highlight natural beauty and simply combat aging, rather than making patients look like completely different people.

If you have had a cosmetic procedure and wish it could be undone, or if you are considering a cosmetic procedure but afraid you'll regret it, there are options for going back. There are options available if you don't love the outcome after most procedures.

Implants and fillers can be changed, and it is possible to rework other cosmetic procedures. Brazilian butt lifts and other fat grafting shaping procedures can be treated with liposuction like techniques to go in reverse. Trends in appearance are okay for fashion and makeup, but not ideal for aesthetic treatments, especially plastic surgery.

Thinking through your procedure decisions and planning properly is the key to good outcomes. Carefully plan and think through your wishes and desires before getting a cosmetic procedure with tools like visual imaging and computer simulation to understand the results you might see.

It's always better to avoid an unwanted result than have to undo it, but there are ways to rework procedures, if not necessarily reverse. And be kind to your body tissues – perfect is the enemy of good.

Since the pandemic started, people have become hyper-aware of their appearance while being overexposed to what they look like on videoconferencing. A tsunami of visits to the plastic surgeon has resulted, with patients asking to change more things about themselves than ever before.

"Zoom Dysmorphia" gives us an unrealistic body image. Sure, stress and taking breaks from aesthetic treatments during the pandemic played a part, but there are other reasons people look especially bad on videoconferencing.

Clinical and aesthetic photography expert Doug Canfield joins Dr. Bass to explain the reasons for this phenomenon and give us ways to look better on videoconferencing right now without seeing a surgeon.

Rumors are spreading that patients are "over it" when it comes to injectable fillers, but Dr. Bass says that's far from the truth. The core strategy of facial rejuvenation treatments at most stages of aging includes a program of injectable filler treatments.

Filler is being used in more areas and more creative ways than ever before to combat the general facial volume loss that accompanies aging. Also, these products are great for features in which there is no better option, like lips that have lost volume or the tear trough at the lid/cheek junction.

If you're considering fillers, it's important to know where and when filler is applicable, and how much is too much. The goal is to add back the youthful volume you previously had, and should never be overdone in an attempt to avoid another treatment that may be more beneficial.
