What holds many people back from getting plastic surgery? It's often the idea of recovery. The thought of stepping away from work or social activities can feel overwhelming, but everyone finds their own solution to the recovery puzzle when the timing and circumstances feel right. Spending too much time avoiding recovery can mean missing out on a procedure you've wanted for a while. If you have a big event coming up and want to refine your appearance, planning ahead for recovery is key. Make room in your life to prioritize your aesthetic goals. If it's something you're going to do eventually, why not do it now and enjoy the results longer? Dr. Bass covers: Different types of recovery, from resting at home to stepping back from social activities while you heal How recovery time and experiences vary depending on the procedure and your unique journey The typical recovery timelines for popular treatments, from surgeries like face lifts and tummy tucks to nonsurgical options like injectables and energy-based treatments About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

Dr. Lee B. Daniel describes himself as “a plastic surgeon second, a good human being first.” With over three decades of experience helping people from all walks of life, he connects with patients on a personal level, ensuring they're always treated as individuals, not just procedures. Growing up on a large Kentucky farm with four younger sisters, Dr. Daniel learned responsibility early, inspired by his father, a Marine drill sergeant turned doctor. Even in high school, he felt drawn to plastic surgery, combining his natural creativity, spatial awareness, and dexterity, a skill set that made the field feel like it chose him.In 1999, Dr. Daniel moved to Eugene, Oregon, to open his private practice, introducing advanced techniques to the area. He later expanded with his med spa, The Spa Side, and soon after, The Guy Side, offering treatments specifically for men. These med spas complement his surgical expertise, offering non-surgical options to enhance results.Dr. Daniel does it all: face, breast, and body, and loves every bit of it. To learn more about Eugene plastic surgeon Dr. Lee B.

Angela talks to Rachel Varga about the world of skincare, focusing on the topical application of GHK copper and the intricacies of micro-needling. They discuss the importance of product stability and formulation, emphasising that the effectiveness of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol depends on their molecular size and stability. They also discuss emerging skincare trends, such as NAD and photo-biomodulation, while stressing the need for thorough research and caution when using at-home laser devices. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper peptides are commonly used in skincare for pigmentation reduction and skin brightening, but the stability of the final product and the formulation's effectiveness are crucial for achieving desired results. Microneedling does not require deep penetration; superficial treatments can enhance product absorption without causing pain or bleeding. Different depths can be used based on individual skin concerns, such as acne scarring or skin laxity. Not all skincare products are suitable for transdermal application. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use with dermal rolling to ensure safety and effectiveness. Many at-home laser and microneedling devices can be ineffective or even harmful if not used correctly. It's important to research the quality and reputation of these devices to avoid potential skin damage. BEST MOMENTS "You do not need to go that deep. You shouldn't be seeing any blood. It shouldn't be painful." "I always take new things with a grain of salt because I never want to waste anyone's time and money." "Lasers are the number one point of litigation and where things can go wrong in medical aesthetics." "I started to eat the right foods, follow a low inflammatory lifestyle, and now I'm actually at 90% skincare, dermal rolling, healthy living practices."
