It takes 14 years after high school to become a plastic surgeon. After medical school, it's a difficult 6 year residency. The first year doctor (intern) learns fundamental techniques in surgery and how to take care of patients. By the end of the 6 years, the surgeon performs their own procedures. On today's show, I speak with 2 plastic surgery residents from the Rutgers New Jersey program. We discuss how the Internet and Influences have made it more difficult to communicate with prospective patients.
We also discussed the procedures that are best performed during the cold of the winter. Tune in! -

Lasers (light energy) are commonly used tools in plastic surgery. The CO2 laser destroys wrinkles and brown spots. The YAG laser erases capillaries and cherry angiomas. The diode laser vaporizes hair. And other energy devices like Ultherapy (sound energy) can lift brows and jowls and tighten crepey skin. On this show, we discuss the different types of lasers and what they can do for you. We also discussed removing moles from cosmetically sensitive areas.

You don't have to look far to see overdone plastic surgery. Some people go so far as to become freakish. On today's show, we discuss how American cosmetic surgery has gone "big" compared to European cosmetic surgery. And we discuss how artistic plastic surgeons try to help you look better...more natural...and less like you've been "done". Tune in.

Facelifts are increasingly popular. But they are not without risk. Minor or even major bleeding can occur after this procedure. Plastic surgeons have used drains, tight dressings and tranexamic acid have been used to control bleeding but the most important factor (other than good surgical technique) is excellent blood pressure control - during and after the procedure. On this show, we discuss the methods plastic surgeons use to control bleeding with facelift surgery. We also discussed the multitude of procedures that have been developed to make aging ears look better.

Millions of women have had cosmetic augmentations of their breasts with silicone implants. Eventually, these implants will rupture. Your choices will be to remove the implants, replace the implants, or lift your breasts to improve their shape. On this program, we discuss the dilemma you face and your options.

As a plastic surgeon, I am asked to look at and biopsy various skin "lesions". They're obvious to you and me and most people are anxious to have these removed. But what about all those "things" that lurk inside your body. Cancers, malformations, cholesterol plaques and expanding arteries can all kill you. Prenuvo is an MRI company that specializes in "preventive MRIs" that let you know about things inside your body that might impact your health in upcoming years. Dr. Perry had this scan earlier in the week and he sat down with the radiologist to discuss the surprising things that were found inside his own body... Tune in .

Hyaluronic acid filler is so versatile - it is used to fill wrinkles, plump folds, augment lips, make chins and cheeks larger, and so much more. And when you're 40 or 50, it really can stall the need for a facelift. But eventually, years of filler may give you the "overfilled" look and have diminishing benefits. And that may mean it's time for a facelift. On this program, cohost Susan Warner and Dr. Perry discuss when it's time for a facelift and when filler no longer is helpful.

Different times of the year are better suited for cosmetic surgery. As the temperature cools, recovery is easier. We discuss why autumn may be the best time to have your surgery.

There are dozens of different facelifts that are performed by different plastic surgeons. Some lift only the skin, most are the two layered "SMAS" lifts, but in vogue are the "deep plane" lifts. The question is whether the riskier deep plane lift is any better than the more popular SMAS lift. On this show, we answer this question. And we also discuss how lips are made bigger and more beautiful, without the "duck lips" look.
