Straight Talk about Cosmetic Surgery with Dr. Arthur Perry

I have had many mothers and daughters coming in together and having the same procedures.  From Botox to Fillers to breast lifts, so many 30 year olds have come in with their 60 year old mothers to have the same procedures.  We discuss the mother/daughter procedures on this show.

Mark Simone - the best voice on radio - interviewed Dr. Perry about fake Botox, dangerous Vampire Facials, and Kim Kardashian's impossibly skinny waist.  Listen in.

A lot of people have very large foreheads with high hairlines.  This condition has been long overlooked by plastic surgeons.  On this show, we discuss how I make large foreheads smaller.  

Botox is an effective but very expensive cure for wrinkles.  There's counterfeit Botox in the USA now - and it sickened dozens of people and at least one person wound up in the ICU.  On this show, we'll discuss Botox and how to protect yourself from the fake stuff out there.  My daughter Julia joins Susan Warner and myself on this show.

My daughter Meredith Perry, CEO of Elemind Technologies, Inc., talks about her new "electric medicine" product.  We also spoke about gummy smiles and what plastic surgeons can do - both surgically and with botulinum - to fix them.  

On today's show, Dr. Ed Zuckerberg makes his 4th appearance on the show to discuss how bacteria in your mouth can cause systemic illness.  Dr. Zuckerberg, Mark's (of Facebook fame) father, explained new therapies that will be able to help dental disease and at the same time help dementia, diabetes, and other diseases.  

If you have surgery and are unhappy with the result, you might want the procedure "undone".  This podcast is about plastic surgery gone awry and how plastic surgeons fix those problems.  

Seborrheic keratoses are one of the most common "things" that grow on the skin.  On this show, we discuss how plastic surgeons "clean up the skin" by shaving off these unsightly things.  We also talked about sunless tanners - they might not be as safe as you think.

Can we really prevent aging?  Some people think so.  On this show, we discuss whether prejuvenation is a real thing and whether it can really work.

Nasal reshaping procedures are called Rhinoplasties.  These procedures are so popular in teenagers, but many "seniors" also have rhinoplasties.  Skin and cartilage thicken as we age.  The tissues are more brittle, and rhinoplasties are "less forgiving" .  On this show, we discuss rhinoplasties in people over 50.

We are in a new world with effective weight loss drugs.  Ozempic is the most well-known of these drugs.  The weight loss is so rapid that skin doesn't have a chance to shrink and so it just hangs.  Plastic surgeons have come up with a series of procedures designed to repair the Post Ozempic appearance of the face, breasts, and the abdomen.  

Lip augmentations are now so popular - not only with the 20 year olds - but also in women who are over 50.  We will discuss the use of hyaluronic acid and fat grafting for lip augmentations to make "Valentine's Lips".  Tune in to learn all about bigger lips.

Lips have many functions.  Of course, they help us eat.  But lips are sex organs - they are important in sexual attraction.  As we age, lips involute and lose their sex appeal.  On this show, I talk about how I restore aging lips to their prior beauty.

Rhinoplasties are nasal reshaping procedures.  Many people older than 40 have rhinoplasties - the operation is done differently as the bones become more brittle and the skin thickens.  Tune in for information about rhinoplasties.

Aestheticians in New York City are charging as much as $1800 for various "procedures" - facials, micro needling, and facial massage.  Is this fraud or is this the future of beauty?  On this show, we look into whether aesthetician's procedures are useful or useless.

B, C or D cup?  That is the question!  Literally - asked by patients, plastic surgeons, and  the public.  And now science has answered that question, and so many more.  On this podcast, we ask the pithy questions - what is the best lipstick color?  Should the top or  bottom of the breast be larger, and...how big should breasts really be?  Listen to this podcast, with the return of my cohost, Susan...

The big day is approaching - perhaps your or your child's wedding is in just a few months and you want to look great for the photographs.  You might be considering a facelift...or wrinkle filler, or a laser procedure...and you are unsure how much time you'll need to recover completely before the big day.  On this podcast we discuss the time course you'll need. We also spoke about th...

Nose reshaping - known technically as "rhinoplasty" - is my favorite procedure.  It is a challenging surgery, with the highest rate of requiring a revision of all cosmetic surgery procedures.  That's because of the sometimes unpredictable tissue response - cartilage can warp, bone can regrow... and that adds up to a 15% redo rate.  Hyaluronic acid filler has been used to perform non...

The new weight loss drugs, headlined by Ozempic, are so effective that the weight just pours off people's bodies.  But with rapid weight loss, skin cannot shrink fast enough, and so jowls, hanging neck skin, and sunken in cheeks are common.  I fix "Ozempic Face" with fillers, Ulthera and yes - fat injections.  Listen to the podcast to hear how I fix Ozempic Face.

The eyelids age before the rest of the face.  Even 40 year olds often undergo eyelid lifting procedures and certainly virtually everyone over the age of 50 has some extra skin and fat of the eyelids.  Blepharoplasties, as they are known, are extremely effective procedures that can rapidly rejuvenate the eyelids.  On this show, we discuss eyelid surgery - the risks, the benefits, and what other pro...

There are only 8000 surgical chin augmentations each year in the USA.  But hundreds of thousands of additional people have nonsurgical chin augmentations with hyaluronic acid or other fillers.  On this program, we discuss what the ideal chin should look like.  We also discuss second facelifts and how second procedures can fix problems created with the first lift.

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.
