"Weak chin".  The phrase says it all.  Our society considers a large chin to be a powerful feature.  Conversely, a small chin gives the impression of a weak personality.  The fix is so simple and straightforward for plastic surgeons.  Silicone rubber implants are placed through a small incision under the chin, and in less than an hour, a "weak chin" becomes a "strong chin".  Appearance improves. Self esteem improves.  On this show, we discuss the fix for weak chins.

Breast lifts, also called mastopexies, are one of the highest satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery.  Droopy breasts are so common after weight loss or pregnancy.  This results in a mismatch of skin to breast volume.  In this simple procedure, skin is removed and rematched to the breast volume, giving women a more youthful appearing breast.  On this show, we discuss how plastic surgeons perform breast lift procedures.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are now as popular as Botox!  Over 9 million people had filler injected last year.  Hyaluronic acid can fill wrinkles and deep folds, define lip and jaw borders, fill temples and plump earlobes,lips and chins and rejuvenate aging hands.  The problem with filler is not what board certified artistic plastic surgeons do with it, but the fact that nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and non plastic surgeons can "certify" in under 2 hours!  It's no wonder there are so many terrible results.  On this show, we discuss Dr. Perry's artistic technique of wrinkle filler...  We also play Dr. Perry's interview with Curtis Sliwa and Larry Mendte.

The sun is our friend - it elevates our moods and provides all the Vitamin D we need.  But more than 20 minutes of sun exposure a day during high UV index days will age the skin prematurely.  It causes immunosuppression, wrinkles, brown splotches, and rough old skin.  More importantly, skin cancers are much more common in people with excessive sun exposure.  On this show, we talk about the benefits of sun exposure...and the problems UV light causes.  We describe how the SPF number is obtained, everything you want to know about sunscreen.

We've known for decades that cigarette smoking increases cosmetic surgery complications.  But not until this week did we understand that vaping, nicotine patches, and even chewing tobacco increases complications 4 fold!  Across the board in all cosmetic suergery procedures all complications, from infections to bleeding to wound problems are all enormously increased - from 4% to over 15% - in people who use nicotine.  So just don't.  We discuss this, as well as the new CDC report about continued problems of complications and deaths from Americans having cosmetic surgery in other countries.
