    Sugam Arora Explains the Future of AI Led Aesthetic Consults at Octane 2026

    Kicking off another forward-thinking conversation at Octane, this episode dives into how AI is reshaping the patient journey long before someone ever steps into the office. Sugam Aurora, founder of Ponce AI, breaks down how smarter, on-demand patient education is tackling one of the biggest challenges in aesthetics today: misaligned expectations, limited time, and inefficient consults. Instead of replacing the provider relationship, this approach strengthens it. By educating patients ahead of time, AI helps remove confusion, hesitation, and guesswork so consultations can focus on strategy, personalization, and expertise rather than basic explanations. In this episode, we cover: How AI can prepare patients before their consult without removing the human connection Why informed patients lead to better conversations, better trust, and better outcomes Turning consultations into focused, high-value discussions instead of feeling transactional How AI helps demystify aesthetics and lowers the barrier for patients who are curious but unsure Why patient engagement happens outside traditional office hours and how technology needs to meet them there How providers can reclaim time without sacrificing quality or care The big takeaway is simple but powerful: AI is not here to replace doctors, it is here to support them. When patients arrive already educated on their options, providers can spend their time doing what they do best: guiding, refining, and delivering results. This is what smarter efficiency looks like, and it is quickly becoming the new standard for how aesthetic practices operate moving forward.

    Aesthetic Trends and Real Data with Erik Haines of QSight at Octane 2026

    The latest episode of Plastic Surgery Untold brings us to Octane 2026 with Erik Haines of QSight, one of the clearest voices in aesthetic industry data and trend intelligence. This conversation zooms out from individual practices and looks at what's actually happening nationwide, using real transaction-level data to track patient behavior, spending, and where aesthetics, wellness, and weight loss are headed next. Erik breaks down how GLP usage has shifted from explosive growth to a steadier plateau inside aesthetic practices, and why that doesn't mean opportunity is shrinking. Instead, access points are changing, and aesthetic care is becoming more integrated with weight loss, body contouring, and long-term wellness. The data shows that while patients may not always be purchasing GLPs directly through practices anymore, they are still investing heavily in complementary treatments that help them look as good as they feel. Key takeaways from this episode: GLP spend within aesthetic practices has stabilized, but patient demand has not declined Weight loss is now fully embedded in modern body contouring conversations Post-weight-loss concerns like skin laxity and volume loss are driving aesthetic treatments Wellness, longevity, and aesthetics are merging into a single patient journey 2026 will continue pushing practices toward a "look good, feel good" model backed by real data This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand where aesthetics is actually going, not just where the hype says it's headed. Real numbers, real trends, and a grounded look at how practices can adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

    Why AI Is the Next Major Leap in Aesthetics with Dr. Roy Kim at Octane 2026

    At Octane, we sat down with Dr. Roy Kim, one of the leading voices in artificial intelligence within aesthetics, to talk about where AI is actually headed in 2026 and beyond. What's changing right now is not hype, it's usability. AI is moving from novelty tools into systems that genuinely improve how surgeons run practices, communicate with patients, and make better decisions faster, without losing the human element that matters most. Dr. Kim breaks down how personalization is becoming the real game changer. Not personalization as a buzzword, but AI that understands your business, your patients, your outcomes, and even your communication style. From vibe coding and custom apps to AI-assisted consultations and education, this shift has the potential to reduce miscommunication, align expectations, and ultimately create happier patients and better outcomes. Key takeaways from this episode include: AI as a business equalizer, helping independent practices compete without private equity Smarter patient education tools that improve consultations and informed consent AI-driven visualization that aligns surgical planning with a patient's aesthetic goals The rise of AI avatars, chatbots, and personalized patient materials A future where efficiency improves without sacrificing emotional connection or trust This conversation sets the tone for how artificial intelligence will shape aesthetics in 2026, not by replacing surgeons, but by amplifying expertise, clarity, and patient experience.

    Shaping Confidence with Gummy Bear Implants

    The latest episode of Plastic Surgery Untold breaks down what surgeons really mean by the term gummy bear implant.These are highly cohesive gel implants designed to reduce rippling, hold their shape, and still feel soft and natural—earning their nickname because the gel sticks together like a gummy bear candy. What sets them apart is the balance of structure and softness. Today's implants offer projection and fullness while staying flexible, making them an especially valuable option for patients who've lost breast volume after major weight changes, including those experiencing "Ozempic breast." • Highly cohesive gel minimizes rippling • Form-stable design adds shape and projection • Softer feel for a natural look and touch Every manufacturer has slightly different versions, so the right choice depends on each patient's anatomy and goals. These advances give surgeons more freedom to tailor breast enhancement for truly natural results. Catch the full conversation now on Plastic Surgery Untold, streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, Pandora, and YouTube.

    Beyond 800cc: The Future of Breast Implants

    For years, the largest silicone or gummy bear implant available capped at 800cc. We break that down in this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold. It left patients who wanted, or needed, more fullness with only one option — saline implants, which often sacrificed softness for size. Now, with the arrival of Mentor Enhanced breast implants, patients have the option to go beyond 800cc — all the way up to 1450cc — while still enjoying the benefits of a gel implant. Originally developed for breast reconstruction, these implants are FDA-approved for that use and can also be used off-label in cosmetic surgery. This opens the door for both reconstruction and aesthetic patients who have limited natural breast tissue or who simply want a fuller look. Key things to know: Mentor Enhanced implants expand size options past 800cc, up to 1450cc. They were first designed for reconstruction, where larger volumes are often needed. Softer than overfilled saline implants, they keep the benefits of a gel implant. Not every patient is a candidate — safety, tissue limits, and support options like internal bras must be considered. This episode of Plastic Surgery Untold breaks down what these new implants mean for patients, the pros and cons of going larger, and how to know if this option might be right for you. 🎧 Catch the full episode of Plastic Surgery Untold anywhere you get your favorite podcasts — Spotify, Apple, iHeart, Pandora — or watch on YouTube to see implant comparisons in action.
