You've found the longest running plastic surgery podcast in the USA! New York plastic surgeon Dr. Arthur Perry brings 3 decades of surgical experience to educate and entertain. Informative and a little off-beat, "Straight Talk about Cosmetic Surgery" has been a mainstay of New York radio since 2005. Listen and learn about American's favorite topic - no…not baseball…not sex…but cosmetic surgery and your appearance.
Plastic surgeons rejuvenate hands with peels and injections of Radiesse. Tune in to hear my philosophy. And we discussed the changes in the skin that occur as we prepare for colder weather. I also discussed spider veins - laser treatment for the face and injection of leg spider veins. My Robert Wood Johnson guest discussed Proton Beam therapy for prostate cancer.
We discussed methods of lifting jowls without surgery. These include fillers, Ulthera, and the new Instalift. My guest was Dr. Ed Zuckerberg, dentist, social media expert, and father of the father of Facebook. Dr. Zuckerberg discussed oral cancer and how Gardisil is decreasing its incidence.
As the season changes, so does your skin. There are predictable changes in the skin that can make your skin look less healthy. And the summer sun has created wrinkles, splotches, and even skin cancers. We talk about the different types of skin cancer and our guest from the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital spoke about a brand new treatment for brain cancer. And last, but not least, we discussed vaginal rejuvenation.
We discuss the use of marijuana in skin creams. It's supposed to help pain and inflammation, but listen to this broadcast as we discuss how there's no science to putting marijuana on your skin. We also discussed why I don't use calf implants. We also discussed chin implants, which I consider to be a great "bang for your buck" procedure. We also discussed how dry eye problems influence cosmetic eyelid surgery
30 years ago, facial rejuvenation was really only facelift surgery. But we now have so many noninvasive treatments and the newest is the Instalift. We also discussed Ulthera - and who is the best candidate for this new procedure.
This was a particularly good episode, perhaps it will get into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame! We discussed fake plastic surgeons - they may be legal, but its not ethical. We discuss this issue. We also discuss the timing of procedures before your wedding. And we discuss "things" that grow on your skin.
The "mommy makeover" is increasingly popular. This is a surgical procedure that combines a tummy tuck with a breast augmentation or breast lift. It addresses the common problems women experience during pregnancy. Independently, these are great procedures, but in today's show, I explain why the risks go up when both procedures are performed together. I also give my take on Kybella, the new fat busting drug.
Kate Hudson looks different. Did she have a rhinoplasty? I think she did, and it doesn't look like a particularly good one. Tonight we discuss nasal reshaping surgery and how I do it. And we also discussed a brand new use for Botox. Injected into the chin, it can actually make the chin look larger. I explain.
You only have to watch TV or sit in a restaurant in Beverly Hills or the Upper East Side of Manhattan to realize that there's a lot of bad plastic surgery out there. There's overpulled facelifts and overfilled lips. Tonight, we discuss overdone plastic surgery. And I talk about a case where bulletproof breast implants actually saved a woman's life.
Tonight was a special show. My honored guest was Dr. Thomas Einstein, great grandson of Albert Einstein, and a Santa Monica anesthesiologist who specializes in plastic surgery anesthesia. Tune in to learn about the newest drugs and monitoring that make cosmetic surgery safer and better than ever before. We also discussed eyelid surgery - and how I evaluate patients and who is a candidate for a browlift or lid tightening procedure.
Medical tourism is growing, but beware. There's been almost a dozen cases of infections in Americans who travel to the Dominican Republic for cosmetic surgery. These are dangerous TB like infections. We also discussed rhinoplasty surgery and its very low risks. Tune in.
We discussed the "Melania" - surgery to make people look like the First Lady. We also discussed surgery for skin cancers and older, obsolete high tech procedures.
We discussed the procedure of liposuction - the risks and benefits, and what happens to the skin after the procedure. We also discussed bariatric surgery for the morbidly obese.
Tonight was all about breast reductions and lifts. We discussed the different procedures that are in current use. We also discussed the new wrinkle fillers and their differences. Finally, cryotherapy - stepping into -100 degree temperatures for a few minutes - is all the rage. But does it do anything? Tune in for the answer
Tonight we discussed the use of Radiesse in hand rejuvenation. Along with the new blunt tipped "microcannulae", this procedure has come of age. It can make the back of your hand look less translucent, hiding veins and tendons. We also discussed the use of zinc oxide sunscreen (the safest sunscreen ingredient). We also discussed the foods that can help prevent sunburn.
Millions of older adults are discriminated against because of their age. Despite experience, the job market favors younger people. Plastic surgeons help older people fight ageism by improving their appearance and decreasing the signs of aging. On tonight's show, I discuss how I deal with aging faces and specifically how we help to turn back the clock. My Robert Wood Johnson guest was Dr. Eisenstein, who discussed the new Emergency Room at RWJUH.
This was a wide reaching radio program featuring Dr. Perry answering many diverse questions about cosmetic surgery. It was fast moving and fun. Tune in.
Tonight we discussed Instalift, the successor to barbed sutures. Instalift is a type of dissolvable stitch that has little cones on it that get embedded into the jowls and cheeks. When pulled up, they lift the jowls and cheeks. Instalift was recently FDA approved and shows great promise as a temporary facelifting technique.
Cryolipolysis - freezing fat to reduce it - is very popular. But there's really not too much in the scientific literature supporting its use. A new paper showed that it reduced neck fat only a few millimeters but there was increased visibility of those aging neck bands after the treatment. We talk about this treatment, and I answer questions about the nonsurgical and surgical treatment of jowls. Finally, I let you in on a secret - why I use Vitamins B3 and B5 in my DayThyme skin cream....
In the last few months, we've seen several new wrinkle fillers that last nearly a year and a half. We discuss those fillers and compare them to fat grafting. We also discuss the brand new technique of placing "solid fillers" in forehead wrinkles.
Breast reductions are one of the plastic surgery procedures that has physical, as well as cosmetic, benefits. We discussed breast reductions and the increasing risks of complications in women who are obese.

Breast implant associated lymphoma is becoming an issue in plastic surgery. We discuss this new form of cancer as well as deaths associated with fat grafting to the buttocks. Huge issues in plastic surgery with important ramifications. We also discussed kidney transplants with surgeon Dr. David Laskow from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
We discussed Botox, gaining in popularity...and sclerotherapy - with 60% fewer procedures over the last decade. We discussed a cluster of recent cosmetic surgery deaths in Florida, and in particular warned against fat grafting to the buttocks. We also discussed procedures that helped both your appearance, and your well being. Specifically, a recent paper showed that tension headaches could be helped by having an eyelid lift. And we discussed tummy tucks and breast reductions, both procedures wit...
Makeup remover contains some very toxic chemicals. On tonight's show, we discussed the variety of harmful chemicals that women use every day to remove their makeup. These include chemicals that generate formaldehyde, a particularly noxious carcinogen. This is in contrast to my CleanThyme soap, which effectively removes most makeup without any toxicity.We also discussed what we do for jowls at different ages. Liposuction, Ulthera, and facelifts are all used to treat the jowls...in different ...

The mommy makeover is hugely popular. Pregnancy results in droopy, small breasts and an overstretched belly. The mommy makeover combines a breast lift or augmentation with a tummy tuck. We discuss the risks of doing these two procedures in one session.
Much cosmetic surgery is performed in plastic surgery offices. And a new study showed that this is just as safe as surgery in hospitals....as long as you are healthy. To stay safe, you should make sure your surgeon an anesthesiologist are board certified and the facility is accredited. We also discussed skin cancer on tonight's show.
