Straight Talk about Cosmetic Surgery with Dr. Arthur Perry

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.

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.

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.

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 procedures might be needed along with the eyelid lift.

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.
