Bags of the lower eyelids are hard to hide with makeup.  Fat from around the eyes protrudes as we age.  Surgery is the best solution, but there's a new hyaluronic acid product that can fill the lower lid grooves.  On this show, we discuss rejuvenating the lower eyelids - from surgery to that new filler, to the direct excision of lower eyelid/upper cheek "festoons".  Tune in.  

Facelifts have been performed for over 100 years.  The results are continually improving and the procedure has become safer and safer.  On this show, we discuss how facelifts are not necessarily brow lifts, checklifts, or necklifts - rather, they are individualized procedures depending on the exact issue the patient has.  

Every year, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has their annual meeting.  The newest procedures are revealed at this meeting

There were over 8 million Botox injections in the USA last year.  But you'd be surprised to learn that many, if not most, were not injected by plastic surgeons.  And many weren't even injected by physicians.  We discuss the dangerous rise in non physicians injecting Botox and fillers in this episode.  We also discussed how plastic surgeons remove moles and get the best possible scars.  

Clean skin is essential for healthy skin.  Clean skin starts with daily washing and exfoliation with a washcloth or fruit acids.  For the cleanest skin, microdermabrasion every few weeks exfoliates and suctions out pores. But microdermabrasion has other benefits - it allows active ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C to better penetrate skin.  On this show, Dr. Perry discusses the benefit of microdermabrasion, as an integral part of a skincare program.

Many different doctors can remove moles or skin cancers.  But plastic surgeons simply do it best.  Plastic surgeons have many techniques and tricks available to them that other doctors can not or do not know how to utilize.  On today's show, we discuss the techniques that plastic surgeons use to give you the best scar possible after having something removed.  

Each year the American Society of Plastic Surgeons release statistics for cosmetic surgery performed by their members.  Tonight, we discuss last year's most popular procedures and - my favorite - the procedures that are losing popularity.  Listen in.

Capillaries are red blood vessels.  They can be visible on the face or legs.  They can group as angiomas and can be numerous in rosacea.  The YAG laser treats them on the face and body and strong salt water solution is useful for leg spider veins.  On this show, we discuss red marks and their treatment.  

So many women, particularly younger women, overdo plastic surgery.   Giant lips, cheeks that look like they contain golf balls, eyebrows halfway up the forehead...  the list goes on.  It takes a willing plastic surgeon and a requesting patient to get these bizarre results.  The internet and "influencers" are responsible for this phenomenon.  On today's show, we dissect why people want to look so different...

Breast reductions are one of the more common procedures in plastic surgery.  Not only is there a cosmetic improvement, but neck and back pain, rashes around the breasts, and bra straps that dig into the shoulders are common issues in women with excessively large breasts.  On today's show, we discuss breast reduction surgery .
