Let's Talk Beauty With Dr. Downs

I have been practicing plastic surgery for 28 years. I have lived through the silicone gel scare. I used all types of breast implants in my practice.

In this episode, we are going to tackle the very large subject of skin. I really want to concentrate on the difference between problems with skin quantity versus skin quality. Treatment approaches are completely different for each issue but many times, need to be combined. Those treatments may look different depending on the part of the body treated. We will also discuss what causes quality and or quantity problems. This will be a large, wide ranging discussion after which I expect you to come away with a good understanding of the difference between these two words and how it should affect the aesthetic procedures you seek.

Often described as

The Holy Grail is an item of myth and Legend. Throughout history its existence and the form has been debated. Many have portrayed it to have possessed miraculous healing powers. To this day, it remains a mysterious relic that is searched for and continues to festinate millions to this day. The same can be said about the fascination with finding that one beauty product that will do everything. We are bombarded on a daily basis with advertisements for the perfect cream, lotion and potion that will not only give immediate results but make us look 10 years younger in 10 minutes. The true Holy Grail of beauty. In this podcast we will discuss what to look for and why you are looking for it. Does the Grail really exist? How to walk into a retailer and make some sort of sense about what you are buying. We will discuss the difference between cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. We will try to make some sense out of the small type billion dollar industry that has grown up around the search for that mythical antiaging relic that so many companies state that they have found.
