Culture and Diversity in Aesthetics w/ Dr. Steven Dayan
Living in a diverse, multicultural society, your idea of beauty is shaped by the variety of people around you.

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.

Body Banking: Why It's Better to Keep It w/ Dr. Douglas Steinbrech

Body Banking: Why It's Better to Keep It w/ Dr. Douglas Steinbrech
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 why fat transfer to the breasts doesn’t always go as planned, and why fat tends to “stick” better in some areas than others. Drs. Bass and Steinbrech also discuss how body banking may help prevent visceral fat buildup and related health problems, the role age plays in fat graft success, and options for people who don’t have much fat to begin with but still want a sculpted, athletic look. About Dr. Douglas Steinbrech Dr. Douglas Steinbrech specializes in minimally invasive aesthetics, blending this approach into both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Named one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons by the Consumers’ Research Council of America, he’s known as the go-to surgeon for men. Using advanced techniques tailored to the male body, a large portion of Dr. Steinbrech’s practice is dedicated to enhancing natural masculine features.

Facelift Series #2: Does & Doesn't w/ Dr. Kylie Edinger

Facelift Series #2: Does & Doesn't w/ Dr. Kylie Edinger
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 skin, but knowing its limits is key to getting natural-looking results. Find out who’s a good candidate for a facelift, how long the results typically last, and whether combining it with other procedures might give you the outcome you're really looking for. Learn more about surgery About Dr. Kylie Edinger Dr. Kylie Edinger is a plastic surgeon currently spending a year training as an aesthetic plastic surgery fellow with Dr. Bass and a host of other world class plastic surgeons at Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital in New York City.

Beauty Series #3: Boring Beauty
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.

Bare No Hair

Bare No Hair
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 with lasers, but darker skin requires special settings to keep it safe and effective. Find out: The hair growth cycle, from anagen (active) to telogen (resting) phases Does shaving really make hair grow back thicker? How hair and skin color affect laser results How we protect the skin while targeting melanin in the hair If your hair is too light, can you just dye it before lasers?

Beauty Series #2: Hit and Run Beauty
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 results and why building a long-term relationship with the right expert can make all the difference in achieving beautifully nuanced outcomes.

Recovery Riddle
02/18/2025
Recovery Riddle
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 eventually, why not do it now and enjoy the results longer? Dr. Bass covers: Different types of recovery, from resting at home to stepping back from social activities while you heal How recovery time and experiences vary depending on the procedure and your unique journey The typical recovery timelines for popular treatments, from surgeries like face lifts and tummy tucks to nonsurgical options like injectables and energy-based treatments About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

After all, feeling good about ourselves can positively impact our careers, relationships, and even our financial success.

No More Turkey Gobbler: All Things Neck

No More Turkey Gobbler: All Things Neck
Because the neck tends to reveal your age more clearly—and age faster—than your face, it is a key area to address when talking about facial aging. Some people catch the early signs, like skin texture changes, and horizontal lines across the neck. For these concerns, skin treatments, like chemical peels, energy treatments for skin and dermal stimulating filler treatments can help. For minimal sagging or excess fat is approached with liposuction, or muscle tightening through small incisions. As skin laxity worsens, energy-based lifting treatments come into play. But once you reach the point where there’s noticeable sagging or that “turkey neck” look, surgery is needed for real improvement. The neck is just as visible as the face, so it’s crucial to include it in any rejuvenation plan. Don’t focus only on the face and neglect the neck—it’s on display every day, too. Find out why the neck is so tricky to treat, how to pick the right surgeon for a neck lift, and why it’s often paired with a face lift.

Luscious Lips
10/22/2024
Luscious Lips
As we get older, our lips naturally change. They lose their plumpness, the space between the nose and upper lip gets longer, and the pink part of the lip starts to wrinkle and lose its color. Filler can definitely make your lips look fuller, but it's more about the shape than the size but there are other options for the lip as well. A lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles in the upper lip and rotate the lip. Botox can also be used to fix a gummy smile. Lip lift surgery shortens your upper lip and makes your lips look fuller, shorter, and shapelier. It’s a good option for people who want a more permanent change. With so many choices out there, it can be tough to figure out what's best for you. Dr. Bass explains how your lips change as you age, what your options are, and how to decide which one is right for you. Learn more about , , and About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran.

Decades of Face: The Eighties, The Reinforcement Decade
Reaching your 80’s is a special time in life. This decade is different for different folks: some are preoccupied with health issues and spend most of their time at home, while others are still very healthy, active, and social. In this seventh and final episode of our mini series “Decades of Face,” Dr. Bass shares the top cosmetic procedures for people in their 80’s and how to find a new surgeon if yours has retired at this point. This is the time to reinforce whatever work you've done previously with non-surgical treatments and occasionally a small surgery. We’re usually not surgically lifting at this point.

Best Facelift: Deep Plane vs. SMAS

Best Facelift: Deep Plane vs. SMAS
No two faces are the same, so no two face lifts should be the same. Each procedure should be carefully customized to individual facial features. Face lifts have come a long way. In the beginning, doctors simply tightened the skin. In the 1970s, they discovered that lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, called the SMAS, gave much better, longer-lasting results. In the 1990s, Dr. Sam Hamra popularized an alternative approach called the deep plane face lift. This approach treats the skin and deeper layers together. Find out which technique Dr. Bass prefers and why, the history of face lifts, and how to find the best facelift surgeon for you.

Out of the Swamp: New Cellulite Treatments
Cellulite can appear as dimples, ridges, or waves on the thighs and buttocks, affecting anyone regardless of age, body type, or skin type. It's not the same as laxity or crepiness, and it’s a tough issue to tackle. Subcision-based treatments like Avéli and Cellfina are effective for cellulite dimples but come with bruising and recovery time. Less invasive options like hyper diluted Radiesse or Sculptra injections can help but still fail to treat the entire area. Energy based treatments can treat large areas but often with only temporary effects or mild improvement. Find out what causes cellulite, what makes it worse, and what options are available to improve it.

Stackable Beauty Treatments w/ Dr. Julius Few

Stackable Beauty Treatments w/ Dr. Julius Few
In the past, looking younger usually meant surgery. But plastic surgeon Dr. Julius Few believes that dramatic results are possible with less invasive methods. He uses a “treatment ladder” to combine nonsurgical procedures to improve skin texture, volume loss, and sagging skin all at once. Stacking nonsurgical treatments, namely giving multiple treatments in a single sitting, used to be seen as too risky. Now, doctors see that combining them can often be done safely, delivering more complete rejuvenation or occasionally better outcomes than doing each treatment separately. This approach is gaining popularity for those who are not yet at a stage of aging that mandates surgical correction in order to obtain significant results. Dr. Few joins Dr. Bass to discuss his inspiration for the treatment ladder, which treatments are typically included, and the advantages of this approach. About Dr. Julius Few Dr. Julius Few is a Chicago plastic surgeon with a very busy and successful practice, The Few Institute. He is a clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Chicago, as well as a health science clinician at Northwestern University. Dr. Few is one of the associate editors of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, in charge of editing the aesthetic medicine portion of the journal. Learn more about About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

It's Psychological: The Plastic Surgeon Relationship w/ Dr. Jonathan Sykes

It's Psychological: The Plastic Surgeon Relationship w/ Dr. Jonathan Sykes
How a plastic surgeon treats a patient’s mind is just as important as how they treat their physical appearance. Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Sykes joins Dr. Bass to discuss how both plastic surgeons and patients can succeed at seeing eye-to-eye with each other before, during, and after a procedure. Sometimes there’s a mismatch between what patients explain they want to look like and what plastic surgeons envision based on this description. To prevent an unhappy patient, it’s best to spot align early on by listening intently and communicating thoroughly. Listening is key for plastic surgeons both before and after a procedure. This helps the surgeon know how best to prepare patients psychologically to go through the procedure and recovery. As a patient, you want to pick a surgeon not just for their technical expertise, but also for their listening abilities. Drs. Bass and Sykes share their insights on how plastic surgeons should approach different types of patients, how to work towards satisfying results, and why it’s a bad idea to try to chase unrealistic expectations. About Dr. Jonathan Sykes With practices in Sacramento and Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Jonathan Sykes is one of the most highly respected double board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States and has performed more than 20,000 aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries.

Sofwave is the newest generation of non-surgical tightening for the skin in the face and neck. Ideal for younger patients who aren’t quite ready for a facelift, Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy to tighten skin without the need for a long series of treatments.

Decades of Face: The Seventies, The Encore Decade
For people in their 70’s, Dr. Bass shares the surgical and non-surgical treatments you may want to consider, highlighting how beauty plans have changed in the last few decades. Many people do a major facial “reset” during their late 50’s or early 60’s. By the 70’s, it may be the last chance to do something major to improve facial appearance. Sometimes this is a first facelift and other times a secondary or repeat facelift if enough aging has taken place since the first procedure. Surgery may not be right for everyone in their 70’s depending on health, and current aesthetic needs. Surgical and non-surgical approaches can yield big results, but there may be some limitations due to loss of skin elasticity. Maintenance, prevention and restoration don’t stop at this stage. Non-surgical treatments can still make a difference in your 70’s, but you’ll need to invest more time and effort than you did in your 50’s or 60’s. In this sixth episode of our mini series “Decades of Face,” find out the top cosmetic surgeries, either for the first time or as a second time around, for people in their 70’s.

The Manly Way to Beautify
Men get cosmetic treatments, too. Dr. Bass reveals the most popular aesthetic procedures for men who want to look and feel their best. As it’s not as socially acceptable for men to modify their appearance, they tend to opt for procedures that give them natural results and virtually unnoticeable scars, such as eyelid surgery. To enhance their masculine features, many younger men go for chin and cheek implants or body contouring around their chest and abs. Men focus less on skin care and recurrent treatments, and more on the "one and done” procedures. Hear how Dr. Bass uses different techniques during certain procedures for men to preserve their masculine features and to hide incisions well despite their short hair.

The Eyebrow: Our Emotion Maker w/ Dr. Jason Bloom
The eyebrow plays a vital role in how we express our emotions, so it’s no surprise that many people seek solutions when their brows start to droop, flatten, and lose their shape. The horror stories you may have heard about brow lift are nothing to worry about today, as techniques have greatly improved over the years. Longevity is difficult when it comes to the brows as you're constantly battling gravity. Luckily today, injectables and energy treatments postpone the need for surgical intervention and can in turn help maintain surgical results much longer. Brow lift is a highly customizable treatment. Brow position and shape for men and women are much different, so specific techniques are used to preserve gender identity. Depending on how low the hooding is, a brow lift may be done in combination with a blepharoplasty. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Bloom returns to the podcast with Dr. Bass to discuss how brow lift surgery has improved over the years, the most common techniques they use today, and how to decide if a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or both is right for you. About Jason Bloom, MD Located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Dr. Jason Bloom is a double board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Lifting Without Cutting #4: FaceTite & AccuTite w/ Dr. Sherrell Aston

Lifting Without Cutting #4: FaceTite & AccuTite w/ Dr. Sherrell Aston
Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell Aston, who uses FaceTite or AccuTite as a complementary procedure with almost every facelift he does, joins Dr. Bass in the 4th episode of our series "Lifting Without Cutting," to discuss how it delivers more complete rejuvenation. Dr. Aston often pairs these bipolar radiofrequency treatments with face and neck lifts to address what surgery alone cannot, such as wrinkles or localized areas of laxity. While FaceTite and AccuTite are in a large class of devices using radiofrequency energy to heat and remodel tissue, they stand out because they deliver far more energy to the underlying tissue and can be more precisely customized to each patient’s needs. A wide range of people can benefit from these treatments, from young patients with some skin laxity who aren’t ready for surgery to post-facelift patients who want to touch up their results. Patients appear visibly tighter and more contoured almost immediately after FaceTite or AccuTite, but the results don’t stop there. Improvements in tightness and overall skin quality continue over the following months as new collagen continues to build. Hear Dr. Aston and Dr. Bass discuss how this cutting edge non-surgical treatment is done, best candidates, what's involved in terms of the experience and recovery, and how it’s shaping the future of aesthetics. About Dr. Sherrell Aston Dr. Sherrell Aston is a professor of plastic surgery at New York University School of Medicine, a past president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and was the chair of plastic surgery at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital for 23 years.

Decades of Face: The Sixties, the Renovation Decade
For people in their 60’s, Dr. Bass reports that this is the time for big beauty projects. Even with a legacy of good preventive and restorative treatments, surgical rejuvenation is almost always needed to avoid looking worn out and tired. Dr. Bass shares the options in this fifth episode of our mini series “Decades of Face.” In this prime decade of business success and social events, the improvements from facelift and necklift will be seen by more of your friends and colleagues than when you are older. Non-surgical prevention, restoration, and maintenance treatments continue to be an important part of your beauty plan, but the treatments selected and the parameters used in performing them are modified based on changes in skin biology as you’ve aged. At this stage, Dr. Bass recommends addressing the most prominent aging changes at the same time as a facelift. Many people pair facelifts with eyelid surgery, brow lifts, skin resurfacing for wrinkles or facial fat grafting in their 60’s.
