Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Class
Living in a diverse, multicultural society, your idea of beauty is shaped by the variety of people around you. In the U.S., what we find attractive has shifted over time, from the narrow ideals of the 1950s to a broader, more inclusive standard influenced by global cultures. Dr. Steven Dayan joins Dr. Bass to talk about how beauty is defined differently across cultures, and why today’s aesthetic providers need to understand those differences to deliver truly personalized care. From the evolutionary roots of attraction to real-world examples of how cultural preferences...

Dr. Douglas Steinbrech joins Dr. Bass to discuss his game-changing concept of body banking. Instead of tossing out fat after liposuction, body banking preserves it and strategically reinjects it into areas like the chest, shoulders, arms, or buttocks to enhance your shape and keep your body in balance. It’s not just about taking fat away. It’s about sculpting, reshaping, and maximizing what you already have. This technique can also reduce the risk of that frustrating post-lipo “rebound fat,” where your body tries to make up for what was lost by storing fat in all the wrong places. Hear...

Drs. Bass and Edinger break down what a facelift can and can’t do. Facelifts are great for tightening loose skin, lifting jowls, and restoring volume in the face and neck—helping you look more refreshed and youthful. But they don’t address everything. Wrinkles, sun damage, and changes around the eyes and brows usually need other treatments. There’s a big difference between how facelifts are described online and how surgeons talk about them. The doctors break down that language gap so you know what those buzzwords actually mean. Bottom line: A facelift is the gold standard for sagging...

When it comes to beauty, some people approach it with excitement and a flurry of activity, while others take a calm, methodical approach. When it comes to plastic surgery, boring is actually better. Dr. Bass explains his concept of “boring beauty”—why slow, thoughtful decision-making leads to the best results. Rushing into procedures may feel exciting, but taking your time ensures you make the right choices. Of course, achieving your beauty goals should be fun and fulfilling, but on the execution side, a steady, careful approach by your plastic surgeon is key to success. About Dr....

In preparation for bathing suit season, we present a discussion of the current status of hair removal treatments. Traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, sugaring, and threading work temporarily, but medical-grade, in-office treatments are more powerful. Electrolysis is the gold standard—it uses a tiny needle and an electric current to kill the hair follicle. It’s great for small areas, but not practical for large ones. Vaniqa (ethornithine) was a prescription cream that slows hair growth, and lasers can zap hair for long-term reduction. We can treat all skin types...

The facelift is the ultimate reset for facial aging and the gold standard for tightening lax skin and restoring a more youthful look. If you want real, lasting improvement, nothing else comes close. Today’s facelift is nothing like your grandmother’s.

There’s a lot of debate around facelifts, so in this series, Dr. Bass—along with Dr. Kylie Edinger in most episodes—dives into the latest research, personal insights, and...

A cosmetic “hit and run" is when you get a treatment with barely any consultation, minimal assessment, and little to no aftercare—a quick in-and-out procedure with no real thought behind it. Aesthetics isn’t like grabbing a Big Mac at the drive-thru, though. It’s personal, customized, and requires a deeper understanding of how your body responds to treatments over time. What you've done before, what you might need now, and how things evolve all play a role in making sure your results are precise and natural. Dr. Bass explains what to look for in a plastic surgeon to get the best...

What holds many people back from getting plastic surgery? It’s often the idea of recovery. The thought of stepping away from work or social activities can feel overwhelming, but everyone finds their own solution to the recovery puzzle when the timing and circumstances feel right. Spending too much time avoiding recovery can mean missing out on a procedure you’ve wanted for a while. If you have a big event coming up and want to refine your appearance, planning ahead for recovery is key. Make room in your life to prioritize your aesthetic goals. If it's something you're going to do...
