It's getting harder and harder to believe new plastic surgery procedures actually work.  With the advent of "pay to play" medical journals, almost anything can get published.  This has weakened the age old trust of publications in "peer reviewed journals".  Just this week, journals published articles concluding that acupuncture can reduce wrinkles and deep chemical peels can substitute for upper eyelid lifts.  I don't believe either...and neither should you. And now I trust fewer scientific papers.  Tune in to become a medical skeptic.

There are many facelifts being performed in the US.  Most leave scars in front of the ears.  But many people, particularly men, don't want these scars.  It seems obvious that you can just grab the excess skin in the middle of the neck and say..."if this were gone....".  On this show, we talk about exactly that procedure - it's experiencing a resurgence in popularity.  Tune it.

Earlobes are the forgotten stepchild of facial beauty.  While women adorn earlobes with diamonds and gold jewelry, when earlobes age, they wrinkle and shrivel, often relegated to a life behind hair.  But earlobe rejuvenation has come of age!  With fillers, lasers, reshaping procedures and repair of elongated earring holes, ears can once again become a center of sensuality.  Listen to this show to hear how plastic surgeons help your earlobes recapture lost beauty.

Botox is the most popular procedure in all of cosmetic surgery.  About 10 million people in the US have Botox every year.  While the term "Botox" has become a generic term, there's actually 6 drugs that have Botox like effects - Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveux, Daxxify, and Letybo are the others.  These drugs all work basically the same way.  But now Abbvie, the company that markets Botox, has applied to the FDA for approval of a new short acting Botox-like drug.  This one, called TrenibotulinumtoxinE (TrenibotE), works within hours (not days), but only lasts 2-3 weeks (instead of 3-4 months).  The only way this one makes sense to me is to mix TrenibotE with Botox to create a hybrid drug that works immediately and lasts 4 months.  But I would expect the costs to be significantly higher than either drug alone.  Watch for this combo in 2026! And listen to this show for the advance notice on the newest advances in cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery must be pain free.  To have painless procedures, plastic surgeons often use general anesthesia, where a breathing tube is placed and your brain is basically anesthetized.  This type of anesthesia is important for liposuction, tummy tucks, and most  breast procedures.  But general anesthesia has risks, particularly cardiac problems and postoperative nausea.  So, when possible, intravenous sedation, using propofol and versed, is used.  Face and eyelid lifts are procedures that often are done under IV sedation.  And finally, some procedures can be done with you wide awake, using only lidocaine local anesthesia.  Mole and scar revisions can be done that way, and with the proper patients, eyelid lifts, small liposuctions, and procedures like chin impalnts can also be done under local anesthesia.  On this show, we discuss the various types of anesthesia used for cosmetic surgery.
