Over two decades, Dr. Fredric Brandt went from a small dermatology practice in Miami to being Madonna's personal skincare consultant and the go-to for public figures desperate to stave off aging. His clients loved him. Fashion magazines profiled him. But as Brandt continued to build his empire—a best-selling product line, pristine homes in New York and Miami, and an absurd modern art collection—he was slowly becoming addicted to his own product. Popular speculation has it that it was Martin Short's scathing portrayal of a clearly-based-on-Brandt character in the 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' that pushed him to his death, but the truth is far more complicated. From Justine Harman and the team behind 'Broken Harts.'

Customer Reviews
A nice change from the norm
This podcast is so well done and just a nice change from the rest that are out there. I was actually surprised I hadn't heard of it and that the average rating wasn't higher. My only problem is the ads. I normally hate when people give negative reviews because of ads because while of course any ad is annoying, I get that this is how we "pay" to listen without actually paying money. So I just hit the fast forward button and move on or tune them out. But the ads on this one are just SO abrasive. I'm on episode 7 and have binged it, and will try to finish, but the guy's voice in the ads is getting so hard to take.
I want to give you a megaphone!
Shout it, sing it, keep it up! You are an amazing host and your voice makes this world a little bit better.

Self serving
Very self serving and fails to cover how toxic plastic surgery is to society. Narrator is practically giddy when she receives free botox in return for shilling for a plastic surgeon on the podcast. Also hilariously tries to lay blame on Tina fey.
