Plastic Surgery Practice

Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to board-certified plastic surgeon Alex Zuriarrain, MD, FACS, of Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, about one of the most common cosmetic procedures, abdominoplasty.

This podcast, which follows Zuriarrain’s recent article about the history of the procedure, titled “From Battlefield to OR, Abdominoplasty Still in Evolution,” reveals how abdominoplasty has advanced since its inception to treat truncal wounds in World War II. Zuriarrain also reveals how high-definition abdominoplasty—which amalgamates liposuction with abdominoplasty—is changing the game in the plastic surgery arena. Note: It’s continent of origin may surprise you.

Finally, Zuriarrain discusses how, for some patients, abdominoplasty is more than cosmetic—it has tangible health benefits.

Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) President Corey Maas, MD, FACS, who runs the San Francisco-based Maas Clinic and is considered a worldwide expert in the field of facial plastic surgery. In this episode, Maas discusses the results from AAFPRS’ annual member survey, which was released earlier this year, and shares what surprised him most.
 
Maas also reveals how the so-called “Zoom Boom” has impacted the facial plastic surgery sector and discloses what young patients—particularly those in their 20s and early 30s—are looking for in regard to facial procedures. Facial plastic surgeons, Maas shares, are also seeing an uptick in male patients, with hair restoration procedures and eyelid surgeries on the rise.
 
In the podcast, Maas also divulges what issues are keeping plastic surgeons up and night (His answer may surprise you!) and shares his favorite aspects of the profession.

Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to board-certified plastic surgeon Alex Zuriarrain, MD, FACS, of Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, about one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures: the Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL. 
 
Zuriarrain talks about the ideal BBL candidate, what’s influencing the shape patients are asking for, and the need for patients to have realistic expectations. In addition, he talks about the need for plastic surgeons to really communicate to patients that this is a dangerous procedure. Patients not only need to know the mortality rate associated with the BBL procedure, but also that complications happen—even to the best surgeons. What’s more, patients need to know the limitations of fat grafting and that one round of liposuction and fat grafting may not be enough to get the final result they want.

Keri Stephens, chief editor of 24x7 magazine and co-chief editor of Plastic Surgery Practice, talks about a negative experience she had with a plastic surgeon who performed her breast reconstruction surgery in late 2020. Through her story, we examine what it’s like from the patient’s point of view when plastic surgery is accompanied by a traumatic diagnosis and what it’s like when there is a disconnect between a patient and plastic surgeon.
