Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC—a board-certified plastic surgeon and owner of Neinstein Plastic Surgery in New York City—who has been dubbed the surgeon’s surgeon. The podcast, which provides a deep dive into Neinstein’s distinctive practice culture, goes into the brain of the man behind the so-called “Birkin Body.”
 
Neinstein reveals why he set up shop above the iconic Bergdorf Goodman department store and what core principles shape Neinstein Plastic Surgery’s culture. One guiding principle, he explains, is collaboration. Neinstein says he constantly looks to his colleagues for feedback. “It is not a top-down, classic, siloed, corporate structure, where the boss is telling everyone what they’re doing wrong,” he says.
 
Neinstein also discusses his unique lifestyle, which he believes sets him up for success as a plastic surgeon, and what plastic surgeons should know before they post on social media. As a bonus, Neinstein shares what’s on his reading list. Believe us, this a podcast you won’t want to miss.

To start, Cahill shares what metrics she uses when helping clients decide whether to lease or buy a practice, as well as what pitfalls leasers, in particular, should avert. She also discloses what practice owners should know before they attempt to negotiate a lease. And for the plastic surgeons who want to buy a practice, Cahill reveals the red flags they should avoid. In other words, buyer beware.

Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to Camelia Lawrence, MD, FACS, the director of breast surgery at the Hospital of Central Connecticut and MidState Medical Center, Hartford Healthcare; and Katrin van Dam, a breast cancer survivor, and the author of Flat and Happy: Mastectomy and Flat Closure—A Personal, Practical Guide, which she wrote alongside of Lawrence.
 
This podcast delves into the reasons van Dam decided to stay flat after her mastectomy—and why she documented her experience in the book—and what she wants to tell other mastectomy patients about her choice. Van Dam also addresses how comparing mastectomies to gender-affirming top surgeries “denies the grief of one [procedure] and the relief of the other.”
 
Finally, Lawrence shares why she believes most women who choose implant-based reconstruction go into their first appointment with their plastic surgeon blindly and how breast surgeons and plastic surgeons can work together better to improve outcomes among mastectomy patients.
