    S05E105 - Navigating Patient Consultations for Cosmetic Surgery - Do's and Don'ts

    Plastic surgery demands as much psychological finesse as it does technical skill. In this candid conversation, four board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic —pull back the curtain on the complex art of patient consultation and selection. The surgeons begin by sharing their approaches to the initial consultation, where they must quickly assess not just anatomical concerns but psychological readiness. They describe the delicate balance of listening to what patients want versus identifying what they actually need. As they note, patients often request "mini" procedures when more extensive work is required, or they misunderstand what certain surgeries can accomplish. Listen as these experienced surgeons identify the red flags they've learned to recognize: patients fixated on imperceptible asymmetries, those bringing extensively edited photos of themselves, individuals undergoing surgery primarily to please partners, and those who've consulted with many previous surgeons. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they discuss the "six-month flip"—patients who transition from excessive gratitude immediately post-surgery to hypercritical dissatisfaction around the half-year mark. The doctors share stories of difficult decisions to decline operating on certain patients, despite the awkwardness these situations create. They agree that recognizing psychological warning signs early saves both patient disappointment and surgeon stress, though hindsight often reveals missed signals they wished they'd heeded. Whether you're considering plastic surgery or simply fascinated by the psychology behind aesthetic medicine, this episode offers rare insight into how surgeons evaluate not just physical characteristics but psychological readiness for transformative procedures. Their collective wisdom reminds us that sometimes the most skilled surgical decision is knowing when not to operate at all. @3plasticsurgerypodcast #podcast #plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #beauty #boardcertified #aesthetic #3plasticsurgeonsandamicrophone ⁠#bergencosmetic ⁠#bestplasticsurgeon #beforeafter #aesthetics #realpatientrealresult #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgery #nyplasticsurgeon #nyplasticsurgery

    S06E104 Tight Faces, Loose Facts: The Facelift Myths That Make Surgeons Cringe

    The facelift ranks among the most transformative yet misunderstood cosmetic surgical procedures. In this illuminating discussion, Join four board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic pull back the curtain on facelift myths that confuse patients and cloud expectations. Ever wonder what happens when your face ages? It's not just about sagging—you're losing volume too, particularly in the mid-face. A properly performed facelift addresses both issues, repositioning descended tissues while restoring lost volume. This distinction separates surgical intervention from the piecemeal approach of fillers and non-surgical treatments. The surgeons tackle the persistent fear of looking "weird" or "pulled," explaining that unnatural results typically stem from multiple procedures or excessive surgery—not from skillfully executed facelifts. They also address the popular request for "mini lifts," revealing how this often-undefined term creates confusion when patients actually need more comprehensive treatment for their concerns. What surprises many? Facelifts don't improve the entire face. The standard procedure addresses the lower face and neck while leaving the eyes, brow, forehead, and perioral area untouched. The panel clarifies that men benefit tremendously from facelifts (with specific techniques preserving masculine features) and that younger patients (40s-50s) often achieve more natural results with simpler procedures. The conversation covers recovery realities (less painful than expected), scar concerns (typically well-hidden and minimal), and the significant but justifiable investment required. Perhaps most valuable is their explanation of result longevity—how proper facelifts "set the clock back" by 7-15 years, providing lasting improvement that makes the procedure cost-effective over time. Whether you're considering facial rejuvenation or simply curious about what happens beneath the skin, this episode delivers straight talk from surgeons who perform these procedures daily. Their insights might change how you think about facial aging and the surgical options available to address it. @3plasticsurgerypodcast #podcast #plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #beauty #boardcertified #aesthetic #3plasticsurgeonsandamicrophone ⁠#bergencosmetic ⁠#bestplasticsurgeon #beforeafter #aesthetics #realpatientrealresult #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgery #nyplasticsurgeon #nyplasticsurgery #goblue

    S06E103 Navigating Obesity and Plastic Surgery - Today's Choices

    Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. The obesity epidemic is a multifaceted challenge fueled by genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Navigating the journey to a sustainable, healthy weight is crucial, especially for those considering the transformative potential of plastic surgery.  Join hosts Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as we dive into the complexities faced by patients with a BMI of 25 to 30 who seek procedures such as tummy tucks and liposuction.

Balancing aesthetics with health is a dance of ethics and patient expectations.

Our shared commitment is clear: prioritizing patient health while achieving satisfactory surgical outcomes. Listen in as we explore how these medications are reshaping the landscape of cosmetic surgery and what it means for both patients and practitioners. @sandiegoplasticsurgeon #MedicalPodcast @3plasticsurgerypodcast #podcast #plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #beauty #boardcertified #aesthetic #3plasticsurgeonsandamicrophone ⁠#bergencosmetic ⁠#bestplasticsurgeon #beforeafter #aesthetics #realpatientrealresult #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgery #nyplasticsurgeon #nyplasticsurgery
