Dr. Nicholas Howland
The Naked Patient
The Naked Patient: Beyond the Operating Room is a podcast about plastic surgery. More than that, though, it is a deep dive into empowerment that is plastic surgery. Each week, Dr. Nicholas Howland, MD FACS will interview actual patients about their own experience with plastic surgery. What did they have done? Why? How did it change their life? How did it not change their life? The goal of this podcast is to remove the shame that society has attached to plastic surgery and to better connect with fellow humans who have used surgery to better their lives.
