While plastic surgery is a personal choice that can be made at any time, there are specific benefits to opting for procedures in cooler weather.

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Dare Ajibade from Jamachi Plastic Surgery, about the advantages of scheduling plastic surgeries during the winter season. 

Advantages of Cold Weather Plastic Surgeries:

• Less Sun Exposure: One key advantage is the reduced sun exposure during fall and winter, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin damage. Dr. Ajibade emphasizes the importance of concealing incisions and surgery scars from the sun for optimal healing.
• Experience Less Discomfort: Winter's cooler temperatures bring additional perks, such as experiencing less discomfort during recovery due to decreased sweating. This is particularly beneficial for surgical wound healing, as sweat can irritate incisions and elevate the risk of infection. Furthermore, the cooler temperatures also make it easier to tolerate compression garments, essential for various body contouring procedures. 
• Clothing to help conceal: Winter attire, including loose-fitting sweaters, jackets, and scarves, provides the perfect cover for any post-surgery or compression garments. This allows individuals to recover discreetly without drawing attention to the surgical process.
• The Big Spring/Summer Reveal: Many people have social events, weddings, or reunions in the summer and want to look their best. Having surgery in the fall allows ample time for recovery and healing before the next busy social season.

Just remember, whether it's snow or sunshine, deciding on surgery should be all about you, your health, and what feels right for you. And recovery times can vary, so speaking to a trusted surgeon, and following their advice is key for the best results.

In the ever-evolving world of skincare and beauty tech, a new device is making waves for treating everything from age spots to discomfort after laser treatments. 

We sit down with Peggy Chung, a seasoned expert in dermatology and aesthetics, to discuss the “coolest” new innovation in skincare, Glacial Rx. This is the first and only cryo-aesthetic treatment that utilizes precision cooling to combat inflammation and reset your skin from within. 

In this episode we’ll discuss: 

• Cryotherapy: The benefits of cold therapy for your skin to treat inflammation and pain.
• Precision cooling: Glacial Rx delivers treatment at just the right temperature and time based on each patient’s unique biology.
• The Treatment Process: Starting with a consultation from a skilled professional., we’ll hear about what the treatment entails from the application of controlled cooling to the minimal downtime and results.
• Benefits for the skin: From improving overall skin health and achieving “Glacial Skin” to removing age spots, this treatment can be customized for each person's individual needs.

If you’ve been getting fliers every year, it may be time to consider a new approach to adding volume: the boomerang lift.

We speak to the co-creator of the process, Dr. Oren Tepper, a board-certified Plastic Surgeon and the Director of Aesthetic Surgery at Montefiore Health System. He's recently opened a new office at 497 Greenwich Street, and has consistently been recognized as a Top Doctor by New York Magazine and Castle Connolly's Guide since 2017.

Dr. Tepper has pioneered a non-surgical, instantly effective fat transfer "volumizing lift" that can turn back the clock on your appearance. This innovative procedure corrects the "flattened" look often associated with aging and offers results that can last up to ten years, effectively "boomeranging" your youthful appearance.

Key Topics We Explore in This Episode:

• How aging affects fat atrophy and distribution (and why you might want to avoid buccal fat removal).
• Filler vs. fat: Which is better for different areas on the face and why?
• The Boomerang Lift: A fat grafting facial rejuvenating procedure that lifts and smooths the cheek area.
• The "Ozempic face": Why fat might be more effective in treating volume loss after rapid weight loss.

Bumps and bruises are an inevitable part of getting fillers and Botox, but a new skincare line is setting out to reduce the downtime and discomfort!

In this episode, we speak with Shay Sim and Nadya Kozlova, the visionary co-founders of Viktor Michael. This unique skincare line is designed explicitly for post-injection recovery and is said to reduce side effects and downtime by half. 

After noticing the lack of consistent, effective, and accessible post-injection care in the industry, Shay and Nayda partnered with a world-renowned cosmetic chemist to develop a new class of skin care that elegantly blends luxury and recovery into exquisite formulas for pre-treatment, post-procedure, and daily skin maintenance. After six years of research and development, they’ve launched 2 innovative formulas to help with post-injection care.

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that plays a vital role in providing structural support to keep our skin firm and prevent sagging. However, from our mid-twenties on, our natural collagen production starts to slow down and stress, sleep deprivation and even cardio can lead to further collagen breakdown. Luckily, we can help support and boost our collagen supply with smart diet choices.

In this episode, we talk to Jennifer Hanway, a board-certified holistic nutritionist, about five incredible foods that play a pivotal role in boosting natural collagen production. From protein-packed sources that lay the foundation for collagen synthesis to the critical role of Vitamin C, we’ll learn how to incorporate these five superfoods into our daily diets.

• Protein: High-quality protein sources lay the foundation for collagen synthesis, promoting skin elasticity and strength. Learn which foods Jennifer recommends and how to easily identify the optimal serving size.
• Collagen Powder: Collagen powder supplementation can support your body's natural collagen production process – but not all are created equal.  
• Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant not only boosts collagen formation but also safeguards your skin against pesky free radicals, keeping premature aging at bay.
• Zinc: The unsung hero in collagen synthesis, zinc plays a crucial role in maintaining firm and supple skin. Foods that are high in zinc include oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, lentils, dark chocolate and yogurt.
• Fermented Foods / Probiotics: Explore the connection between a healthy gut and collagen production, and learn how fermented foods can provide an essential source of anti-oxidants.
