A woman walks into the office holding her phone, points at a stranger's before-and-after, and says she doesn't want that result. Dr. Luke Swistun's answer is almost always the same: that isn't you. The photo shows someone with different tissue, different proportions, and usually a different surgery — none of which predicts where her own breasts will settle.Dr. Swistun is the explant expert at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, and women fly into San Diego from all over to see him. With hostess Monique Ramsey, he walks through a single real before-and-after — the same woman at two months, six months, and two years — and explains what's swelling, what's final shape, and where the nipple sits relative to the breast fold (the landmarks that drive every decision). He covers why some women need a lift, some need fat grafting, and some need nothing at all, plus a delayed lower-pole skin excision done under local in about an hour, and serial fat grafting that builds a full B with no implant at all. The conversation lands on the part most women aren't ready for: how different they feel once the implants are gone.His rule for anyone afraid of the scars: do less, because you can always do more. The woman in that progression took it — removed the implants, waited, then tightened a little skin under local — and told him afterward they look exactly like they did in high school.LinksListen to more breast implant removal episodes:Fat Transfer, What Could Go Wrong? with Dr. SwistunPlastic Surgeon Clears Up Capsulectomy Confusion with Dr. SwistunPatient Janelle: Why I Had My Implants Removed After 22 YearsMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removal (explant)Questions answered by this episode1.

Around 48 to 72 hours after surgery, swelling peaks, the anesthesia haze lifts, and a lot of women look in the mirror and feel like they've made a mistake. Dr. Diana Breister has been in plastic surgery long enough to know that feeling almost never means what people think it means. Most of the time, it's not regret — it's chaos.Dr. Breister, who came to La Jolla Cosmetic after years of reconstructive work at City of Hope, walks Monique through what's actually happening between day one and day fourteen. The first 48 hours are what she calls a “pink bubble” — anesthesia still on board, surgery behind you, mostly relief. Then comes the crash: maximum swelling, pain pills affecting mood, a body shape that doesn't look like the final result yet, and the strange weight of doing nothing while everyone else is productive. They get into the difference between regret and shock, why facelifts feel harder than mommy makeovers, the mean-girl moment that derailed a breast reduction recovery, and what to do when your partner isn't showing up.Three words anchor the whole conversation: trust the process. Dr. Breister explains why she can promise, with 200% certainty, that the feeling will pass — and why the women who say “what did I do” at week one almost never remember saying it by year one.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Diana BreisterLearn more about facelift surgery at LJCSCQuestions answered by this episodeWhy do I feel sad or emotional after plastic surgery?When does swelling peak after cosmetic surgery?Is it normal to regret plastic surgery in the first two weeks?What is post-surgery depression and how long does it last?Can anesthesia and pain medication change how I feel emotionally?Why does my face or body look so different right after surgery?How should a partner or family member support someone recovering from cosmetic surgery?Why do facelifts feel harder emotionally than other procedures?What are the biggest mistakes people make in the first two weeks of recovery?How do I tell the difference between normal swelling and a real problem?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

At ten or eleven years old, Dr. Hector Salazar watched his grandmother step off a plane looking dramatically younger than she had a month earlier. She had quietly traveled out of town for cosmetic surgery, healed through the swelling and bruising in private, and come home presentable. That moment redirected a kid who, a few years earlier, had been caping the family dog like a bullfighter — toward seventeen years of training that would make him a board-certified plastic surgeon.Monique talks with Dr. Salazar about the long road from medical school to general surgery training in Chicago to plastic surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, inside what he describes as the largest medical center in the world. He explains why training as a general surgeon first — including the fifty to sixty kidney transplants he participated in — makes him a more well-rounded plastic surgeon, and where that background stops being useful in aesthetic work. The conversation covers oral boards (defending a year's worth of his own cases in front of a room of senior plastic surgeons), the legal-household upbringing that shaped his approach to safety and compliance, and why he returned to San Diego in 2015.He also shares what really happens in a consultation at LJCSC, and why he tells anyone who arrives with someone else's surgical plan that the only goal that matters is theirs.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesRead real patient reviews from La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery CentreQuestions answered by this episodeWho is Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes?Where did Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes train as a plastic surgeon?How many years of training does it take to become a board-certified plastic surgeon?What is the difference between an integrated and a traditional plastic surgery residency?Why does board certification matter when choosing a plastic surgeon?How does a general surgery background prepare someone for plastic surgery?What happens at the plastic surgery oral board exam?What should I expect at a plastic surgery consultation in San Diego?Is it normal to get a second opinion before plastic surgery?How do I find a safe, board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Dr. Diana Breister, a board-certified plastic surgeon who has done mommy makeovers in San Diego for over twenty years, joins us to talk about everything that happens after the six-week post-op visit. You can do planks, but no crunches for at least a year. The rectus muscles she stitches back together during a tummy tuck stay hyperactive long after the skin looks healed, and trying to fire them up too early can send them straight into spasm.Scars are still maturing for up to two years. Future pregnancies hold up better than most women expect. GLP-1 weight loss of 30 or 40 pounds can re-loosen the skin a tummy tuck just tightened. Nipple sensation often returns within weeks, though less than 4% of women lose it entirely.Dr. Breister also walks through which scar treatments actually have science behind them, how to handle the wardrobe purge nobody warns women about, and why she won't operate until seven months after a woman finishes breastfeeding.The most useful moment in the conversation comes from Dr. Breister herself: a mommy makeover isn't building a new identity. It's restoring the one you had before.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Diana BreisterLearn more about mommy makeoverQuestions answered by this episode:1.

A demanding week does not break momentum.   Deciding to pause until things calm down does.   Most people have no plan for what stays non negotiable when the schedule gets full, so the routine disappears every time life picks up.   One protected habit decided in advance keeps consistency alive when everything else is competing for time.   Momentum in a full life does not require doing everything.   It requires refusing to do nothing.

Six months after her breast implants came out, a young woman handed Dr. Luke Swistun a full, untouched bottle of Xanax — the same prescription she had been burning through at three to four pills a day before the explant. Stories like hers are why Monique Ramsey is marking 230 episodes and five years of the La Jolla Cosmetic Podcast by going back to the archive.Monique counts down one moment from each of the five LJCSC surgeons — Dr. Johan Brahme on why a brow lift feminizes women but makes men look permanently surprised (with Jim Carrey as Exhibit A), Dr. Kiersten Riedler's gingerbread cookie answer about what natural facial plastic surgery should actually look like, Dr. Diana Breister on the women who walk back into her office with a skip in their step after fixing something they were too embarrassed to bring up with their gynecologist, Dr. Swistun's full account of the patient whose intractable anxiety vanished the day her implants came out, and the one question Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes says will tell you whether the surgeon across from you is the real deal.Then there is the moment that did not make the countdown — Marie Olesen on episode 100, telling the story of the woman who told Dr. Merrel Olesen, “I need to get a life,” and drove him to change the patient experience for everyone.LinksMeet the San Diego plastic surgeons of LJCSCBrowse five years of the La Jolla Cosmetic PodcastQuestions answered by this episodeWhat questions should I ask my plastic surgeon during a consultation?Why are hospital privileges important when choosing a cosmetic surgeon?How do I know if my cosmetic surgeon is qualified to do my procedure?Can breast implants cause anxiety or panic attacks?Will breast implant removal help anxiety caused by implants?Why do some brow lifts make people look permanently surprised?What does a natural-looking facelift actually look like?What is recovery like after labiaplasty?Should an OB/GYN or oral surgeon be doing cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation or tummy tucks?How long has La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre been performing cosmetic surgery in San Diego?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

When breast implant illness support groups started telling each other to ask their plastic surgeon for an “en bloc capsulectomy,” they were borrowing a term from cancer surgery — and asking for something most surgeons knew was impossible. The plastic surgery community didn't correct them. They listened, and then they renamed it.Dr. Luke Swistun walks hostess Monique Ramsey through the Breast Surgery Collaborative Community Consensus and the four types of capsulectomy that came out of it: total intact capsulectomy (the surgery the en bloc community was actually asking for), total precise capsulectomy, partial capsulectomy, and the original cancer-surgery en bloc — a procedure he's performed exactly once in his career, on a woman with breast implant–associated lymphoma. He covers when leaving a sliver of capsule is the safer choice, why every capsule he removes goes to pathology, what imaging he wants done before surgery, and why he films almost every explant for the woman who just had it.Find out why Dr. Swistun openly credits the breast implant illness community for forcing the conversation, what recovery actually looks like across all four procedures, and the one thing he admits is overdue on his own website.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removalQuestions answered by this episode1.

Most companies don't think about employee mental health until something goes wrong and by then, it's already too late. In this episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Stephen Sokoler, founder and CEO of Journey and author of The Mental Health Advantage, to make the case for flipping that script entirely. Stephen shares his own transformative personal journey from a decade of rollercoaster habits to discovering meditation through a book he bought at a mall and connects those lessons to what he's building at the organizational level. The conversation covers why traditional EAPs are fundamentally broken, what a 30%+ engagement rate looks like compared to the industry-standard 3%, how AI and tools like Journey Signal are enabling real-time proactive mental health support, and why culture change has to start at the top. Whether you're an HR leader, executive, or someone simply trying to build better habits, this episode is packed with insights you can't afford to miss! ⏱️ Key Timestamps 00:02 — Welcome & introductions: Stephen's book, The Mental Health Advantage, and the focus on proactive mental health at work 00:48 — Stephen's personal story: from gym rat to sloth — and how discovering a book called Buddhism for Busy People at a mall changed everything 02:22 — Demystifying meditation: why it's simple but not easy, and what consistent practice actually does for your day 05:05 — The reactive vs. proactive gap: why society — and employers — default to treating mental illness rather than building mental wellness 08:14 — The EAP problem: why only 3% of employees use their benefits, why EAPs are designed to stay in the background, and what a better model looks like 10:30 — Journey's approach: flipping the EAP model on its head to achieve 30–40%+ employee engagement and treating mental health as "the operating system of the company" 11:32 — Mental health is not a peak state: why the goal isn't to "achieve" mental wellness and check a box — it's an ongoing practice, like going to the gym 14:04 — Bridging the gap: supporting employees with diagnosed mental health conditions while simultaneously building a proactive culture for everyone else 16:13 — Constant engagement in practice: how Journey meets employees where they are — from Slack and Teams apps to break room tablets to daily check-in emojis 18:22 — Introducing Journey Signal: the real-time AI intelligence engine that detects patterns and reaches employees before burnout or turnover happens 20:06 — Wearables and the future of data: the promise and current limits of integrating biometric data into workplace mental health programs 22:00 — Leadership buy-in: why culture change starts at the top, and how a CEO's behavior — even indirectly — sets the mental health tone for 25,000 employees 24:36 — Industry-specific mental health: why a law firm and a hospital system have very different needs, and what Journey is quietly rolling out to address that 26:24 — Metrics that matter: from awareness and engagement to clinical outcomes, daily emoji check-ins, healthcare cost trends, and absenteeism 29:25 — AI and the future of mental health: personalized care recommendations, smarter benefit navigation, and why Stephen isn't excited about replacing therapists with AI 35:07 — Parting wisdom: the compounding effect of simple, consistent mental health practices — and how to connect with Stephen and Journey

Most patients walk into a breast augmentation consultation hoping to leave with answers. Ella walked in with research, reference photos, and a clear vision — and then made the deliberate decision to trust her plastic surgeon's judgment in the operating room.Born and raised on Oahu and a self-described petite, very active person, Ella spent over a year researching plastic surgeons in Hawaii and San Diego before booking a consultation at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre with Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes. Six weeks post-op, she walks us through every step — from the research that led her to LJCSC, to her first time ever going under anesthesia, to the moment Dr. Salazar quietly chose a different implant size for her in the operating room.Find out how she landed on 220cc Allergan Natrelle implants after sizing 265cc, why she's describing her closet as “a brand-new wardrobe with all the same clothes,” and the one thing she wishes more first-time surgical patients understood about being mentally ready.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about breast augmentationQuestions answered by this episodeDoes breast augmentation hurt?How long does breast augmentation recovery take?Is breast augmentation worth it?How do you choose a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation?How do you decide what size breast implants to get?When can you exercise after breast augmentation?What size implants are best for a petite frame?Should you tell people you're getting breast augmentation?What are Allergan Natrelle implants?What is the day of breast augmentation surgery like?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.
