Proper nutrition is important to look as good as possible. Many vitamins and nutrients - like protein and Vitamin C - are necessary for a healthy, nice appearance. On this show, Dr. Perry interviews the Nutrition Twins - Tammy Shames and her sister Lyssie Lakatos - they discuss nutrients and supplements that can hurt or help your appearance. And Dr. Perry and cohost Susan Warner continued their discussion about the artistry in plastic surgery and why so many people have ter...

Fat removal through tiny incisions, called liposuction, is wildly popular. And for good reason. It is safe and effective, and it can remove the fat that even dieting and GLPs can't remove. On this show, we discuss how plastic surgeons perform liposuction - we'll talk about the risks and the benefits and help you decide if this procedure is for you.

Cosmetic eyelid surgery, formally known as "blepharoplasty", is increasingly popular...and for good reason. Blephs truly rejuvenate the eyelids and the entire face. On this show, we discuss how plastic surgeons perform this operation and the benefits it can give you. Co-host Susan Warner and I also debunk the myth that special skincare is needed for people taking GLP1 drugs.

Broadcasting live from the annual meeting of the Aesthetic Society in Boston, MA, internationally known plastic surgeon Dr. Rod Rohrich joins Dr. Perry to discuss the newest procedures and treatments in cosmetic surgery. This is truly a "straight talk" episode - cutting through the hype and the influencers, and the "Insta-noise" as I call it. Tune in!

Women are the biggest consumers of cosmetic surgery. But men still get old looking and somewhere around their mid 50s, they realize that their neck skin is hanging and fatty. But facelifts are problematic in men - they bring hair into the ears and scars are hard to hide without makeup. So, fat suction, band repair, chin implants, and direct excision of excess skin help make middle aged men look good again. On this show, Susan Warner comes out of retirement to co-host t...

Sometimes you just have to wonder what has happened to common sense in plastic surgery? There are plastic surgeons and patients who are actually removing or cracking ribs to create a thinner waist. Did these "doctors" forget the first rule of medicine: do no harm? Have they forgotten that the ribs are designed to protect lungs, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys and pancreas? And have they forgotten that rib surgery is painful and has lifelong consequences? ...

My cosmetic surgery patients care about the appearance of their skin and their overall beauty. And it follows that the same people who are concerned about appearance are also concerned about their overall health. An annual physical exam can only go so far. And that's where the total body MRI and advanced bloodwork that the Prenuvo company performs comes in. On this show, I interview Dr. Daniel Durand, the President of Prenuvo and an incredibly smart radiologist. ...

The mommy makeover is increasingly popular. This procedure combines a tummy tuck with a cosmetic breast procedure - either a lift, reduction, or augmentation. In the last month, there have been 3 high profile deaths of young women undergoing this procedure. On this show, we discuss why the mommy makeover is a dangerous procedure and how you can stay safe with cosmetic surgery.

Mini-facelifts are sort of like being "a little pregnant". You either do it or you don't. Most "mini-facelifts" are simply marketing gimmicks - designed to lure you in to a procedure that sounds small. In fact, there really are very few mini-facelifts. Most are short scar cheeklifts that have limited usefulness and longevity. On this show, we discuss the various types of facelifts. From traditional long scar to 2 layered, to -yes- the minifacelift.

Blepharoplasties are cosmetic eyelid lifts. This procedure usually removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids and is a great facial rejuvenator. Many people think the surgery is a minor procedure because the satisfaction rate is very high and the complication rate is fairly low. But the truth is that all sorts of issues can occur with eyelid surgery - from visible scars to a pull-down of the lids to the dreaded complication of blindness. Before surgery, I send my pat...

A high hairline with a long forehead is considered a masculine feature. On this show, we discuss how a brow lift is a "2 for 1" procedure - simultanously elevating the eyebrows and lowering the high hairline. Tune in.

It's getting harder and harder to believe new plastic surgery procedures actually work. With the advent of "pay to play" medical journals, almost anything can get published. This has weakened the age old trust of publications in "peer reviewed journals". Just this week, journals published articles concluding that acupuncture can reduce wrinkles and deep chemical peels can substitute for upper eyelid lifts. I don't believe either...and neither should you. And now I trus...

Earlobes are the forgotten stepchild of facial beauty. While women adorn earlobes with diamonds and gold jewelry, when earlobes age, they wrinkle and shrivel, often relegated to a life behind hair. But earlobe rejuvenation has come of age! With fillers, lasers, reshaping procedures and repair of elongated earring holes, ears can once again become a center of sensuality. Listen to this show to hear how plastic surgeons help your earlobes recapture lost beauty.
