GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing bodies fast. But what happens to your skin, face and overall appearance after dramatic weight loss? In this episode, Lauren sits down with New York Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. David Kashan to talk about the growing rise in “Ozempic face,” loose skin, body contouring, facelifts, skin removal surgery and the very real aesthetic side effects many people aren't talking about. Dr. Kashan, who trained at the renowned Cleveland Clinic, shares what he's seeing firsthand in his practice during the GLP-1 boom. Together, they discuss who is most affected by rapid weight loss, the most common procedures patients are requesting now, how long patients should stop GLP-1 medications before surgery, and whether non-surgical treatments can help improve skin laxity, facial volume loss and overall skin quality before considering surgery. If you're a woman in midlife navigating weight loss, aging, confidence, skin changes or considering GLP-1 medications yourself, this conversation is packed with honest insight, practical advice, and expert perspective you'll definitely want to hear.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we dive into the latest news on Ozempic from medical breakthroughs to real-life health impacts.Recent Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization show that Ozempic, or semaglutide, leads to about eleven percent average weight loss after six to eighteen months in people with obesity, outperforming placebo in eighteen trials with nearly twenty-eight thousand participants. Tirzepatide, like Mounjaro, achieves even more at sixteen percent, while liraglutide offers four to five percent. These glucagon-like peptide-one drugs mimic a hormone that slows digestion and boosts fullness, originally for type two diabetes but now key for weight management with diet and exercise.Cochrane researchers note benefits persist during treatment but highlight gaps: most trials were industry-funded, long-term safety data is limited, and side effects like nausea affect many, with some dropping out. No clear edge on heart events or death versus placebo yet.A Rutgers Health study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research analyzed sixty online reviews and found sixty-seven percent of users report weight loss, less appetite, or fewer cravings, making them stick with it despite nausea or vomiting in sixty-two percent. Lead author Abanoub Armanious says everyday experiences show benefits often outweigh gut issues for motivated users. Bariatric expert Mir Ali adds diarrhea or pain prompts more quits than nausea.Newer buzz includes Ozempic face: rapid fat loss causes gaunt cheeks, per a Gujranwala Medical College analysis and American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery survey, boosting filler demand by fifty percent. Weight regain post-treatment is common, stressing lifestyle pairing.Wegovy now offers semaglutide pills like Rybelsus, matching injections for seventeen percent loss with changes, per Prisma Health's Eva Wolf.Listeners, blend these tools with habits for lasting wins.

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Kandace P. McGuire, MD, and Paschalia Mountziaris, MD, PhD, highlighted the use of L-Dex bioimpedance spectroscopy as a method for detecting lymphedema earlier in patients who undergo surgery for breast cancer. The experts discussed seamlessly integrating this novel modality into standard vitals workflows and detailed other considerations for improving long-term survivorship outcomes via proactive lymphatic care.McGuire began by breaking down why detection of lymphedema typically occurs later after its development, describing how a sentinel lymph node biopsy and additive radiation can cause lymphatic damage and obstruction that correspond with symptoms months to years down the road. At her institution, bioimpedance spectroscopy, the use of a small electrical signal measuring “bioimpedance”, is employed at various points before and after breast cancer surgery to easily determine the likelihood of developing lymphedema through a nursing visit. According to Mountziaris, having a noninvasive method like this provides a “valuable tool” for informing patients of their risks of experiencing lymphedema.The experts also discussed a need to develop a more nuanced method for detecting potential lymphedema among patients with a higher body mass index and spoke about fostering communication across the breast surgery oncology team, the plastic/reconstructive team, and physical rehabilitation specialists to monitor abnormal fluid changes in patients. Looking ahead, they emphasized making bioimpedance spectroscopy more accessible as a key goal in lymphedema care.“We are privileged that McGuire and I have a great team and that I have the equipment that we're able to provide these things for our patients. From my standpoint, some of these patients appear—to me, by measurements, and everything else—to have been cured of their lymphedema after these interventions,” Mountziaris stated. “Getting an L-Dex score on them is just another way to demonstrate that we did bring them to stage 0 or no lymphedema.”McGuire is professor of surgery and chief of breast surgery at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center. Mountziaris is assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at VCU Massey Cancer Center.ReferenceVCU Massey now offers new technology for early detection of lymphedema.

Vikram Ahuja, Co-Founder and CEO, and Joe Promoppatam, Co-Founder and CTO of OsseoLabs, are utilizing 3D printing and AI to advance reconstructive surgery by enabling the creation of personalized, precision-fit implants and surgical instruments. Traditional surgery has relied on standardized implants made of titanium and involves lengthy operations. The OsseoLabs approach reduces surgical planning and operating time, improving patient outcomes by achieving a better fit and enhanced bone integration through the use of advanced implant materials. AI is used to automate and accelerate the design process for these custom devices, enabling a scalable and cost-effective approach to create complex, regulated medical devices. Vikram explains, "We want to use our engineering know-how, especially in 3D printing, to improve the quality of the outcome of the surgeries and also help the students to be able to offer a better solution at a speed, and also the outcome that is a little bit more precise. And that's what we have been working on for quite a long time. We want to use the knowledge of 3D printing, biomechanics, and also AI to help, especially in complex surgical cases. So both the patients and the surgeons are better off with the outcome. And the main gap that we are seeing here is not only in the Asian countries where we operate, but also in the US. And the use of 3D presented implants, even though it has been around for quite some time in the US, we still see a lot of gaps that can be improved in what materials are being used, and how the implants are designed. We help the surgeons and also the hospitals throughout this process." Joe elaborates, "Yes, for such a device, they all look the same way, but the patients look different. So we see this gap between the available instrumentation and the actual treatment that the surgeons want to conduct. And we want to break that barrier by being able to decide which instrument is required individually, and I mean that in the day, we could not do that. The price can be competitive because all the manufacturing technology is used to support production. But we have to depend on how they matured in the past few years. We are able to adopt the technology, which allows us to decide and print the instrument for specific care and specific surgery. I think the speed and cost become much more practical, and all we need to look into is the 3D printer. But eventually, when you come into something like customization, you talk about the speed. In terms of speed, it's not just the speed of how we make things, but it's about the speed of how we decide things. That's where we see the gap that we can fill using AI to split up the bedside process."   #OsseoLabs #ReconstructiveSurgery #3DPrinting #PersonalizedImplants #MedAI OsseoLabs.com Download the transcript here

On this enlightening episode of the podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Irena Karanetz, board-certified plastic surgeon and co-founder of Evolve Plastic Surgery in Queens. Dr. Karanetz shared her expert insights into cutting-edge cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, emphasizing her dedication to providing compassionate, personalized care. From Botox and fillers to breast reconstruction and non-surgical innovations, the conversation underscored how the right approach can transform not only appearances but also confidence. Botox and Fillers Unpacked Dr. Karanetz explained how injectables like Botox and fillers offer effective, minimally invasive ways to achieve natural-looking enhancements. Botox softens fine lines, while fillers restore lost volume and shape to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows. She made it clear that these treatments are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, she customizes each plan to ensure her patients achieve subtle, rejuvenated results that enhance their natural beauty. The Art and Science of Breast Reconstruction One of the key topics covered was breast reconstruction, an area where Dr. Karanetz holds advanced fellowship training. She detailed how this deeply personal procedure helps patients regain a sense of wholeness after experiences like mastectomies. From implants to fat transfers and everything in between, her focus is on tailoring results to each individual's unique anatomy and desires. Dr. Karanetz also shared insights into cosmetic breast surgeries, such as augmentations and lifts. Her commitment to understanding patients' ultimate goals makes her approach stand out. Surgical and Non-Surgical Options for Every Need At Evolve Plastic Surgery, patients have access to an impressive range of aesthetic treatments. Dr. Karanetz spotlighted diverse offerings, from tummy tucks and liposuction to non-surgical options like Morpheus8, a game-changing treatment for skin tightening and collagen stimulation. The practice also offers cutting-edge solutions such as FaceTite for facial contouring and Renuvion for advanced skin rejuvenation. No matter the procedure, Evolve Plastic Surgery is committed to results that blend artistry and precision, helping patients feel more confident in their skin. Patient-First Philosophy Throughout the episode, Dr. Karanetz's patient-first approach took center stage. She described how she takes the time to fully understand each individual's concerns, carefully educating them on their options and empowering them to make informed decisions. Her compassionate demeanor and meticulous attention to detail make every consultation a thoughtful, personalized experience. Patient testimonials confirm her outstanding care. Words like “caring,” “life-changing,” and “outstanding results” speak to the level of trust and gratitude her patients have for her and her team.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Jacob K. Dey, M.D. Bell's Palsy is the most common cause of 7th cranial nerve dysfunction and clinically, it has a relatively abrupt onset resulting in unilateral facial paralysis. Fortunately, the majority of patients recover completely without treatment. Unfortunately, in some cases, the facial paralysis is persistent, and surgical intervention may be indicated to help restore facial symmetry. When do patients reach maximum improvement in their facial asymmetry? What is facial synkinesis? What are the various surgical options and how is it determined which one is best for the patient? The topic for this podcast is “Correcting Facial Paralysis Associated with Bell's Palsy” and these are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, facial plastic surgeon, Jacob K. Dey, M.D., from the Division of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at the Mayo Clinic. Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

How do you fix a face that's falling apart? In Rachel's case, you break it even more. What started as trouble swallowing as a teenager turned into a full facial reconstruction. Rachel's TMJ deterioration left her unable to eat, breathe properly, or even recognize her own face. With her airway down to just 2 millimeters (when it should be 11!), doctors had no choice but to break and rebuild her entire jaw. In this episode, Rachel walks us through her insane surgical journey—from bone saws to gold weights implanted in her eyelid, the facial paralysis that followed, and the emotional rollercoaster of waking up with a face that felt like someone else's. This is a story about identity, survival, and the body's wild ability to rebuild itself.Be sure to catch the full video version of this episode on YouTube!
