Ep. 22 - Joan Kron, The Beauty Editor Who Made Plastic Surgery Mainstream

03/09/21 • 49 min

In the season 2 premiere of the podcast, Dr. Grant Stevens chats with the one and only Joan Kron. An award-winning journalist, media icon, author, and filmmaker, Joan has quite literally done it all but, if you're in aesthetic medicine, you know her as the beauty editor who covered plastic surgery at Allure for over 25 years.

What you may not know is that she didn't just popularize plastic surgery in mainstream media; she essentially created the category in a move that many other fashion and beauty publications would later follow.

Her story and her message are inspiring no matter what field you're in. Having never authored a word before the age of 40 and later reinventing herself as an award-winning filmmaker in her eighties, she's living testament to the fact that it's never too late.

Tune in to hear Dr. Grant Stevens' candid interview with the 93-year-old media icon in which she tells us the story of how she came to be the Queen of Plastic Surgery and lets us in on what she's planning next!
