In this "Giants in Plastic Surgery" episode of the PRS Global Open Deep Cuts Podcast, recorded live at PSTM 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana,  we sat down Dr. Kevin C. Chung, one of the most influential figures in modern plastic and hand surgery. Dr. Chung is the William C. Grabb Distinguished University Professor of Surgery and the Charles B. G. De Nancrede Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan. A globally respected surgeon-scientist, he has authored more than 850 peer-reviewed papers, 600 book chapters, and 41 textbooks, and served as the 7th Editor-in-Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His leadership roles span the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the Plastic Surgery Foundation, among many others.   We explore Dr. Chung's personal journey into medicine, beginning with whether he always envisioned becoming a doctor and what alternate career paths he once considered. He reflects on the mentors who guided him toward plastic surgery and shares how his training experiences: from general surgery in Texas, to plastic surgery at the University of Michigan, to hand surgery at the renowned Curtis National Hand Center, shaped his philosophy as a surgeon and educator.   Dr. Chung shares thoughtful reflections on the contrasts he has observed between practicing medicine in America moving from Singapore, and he discusses the pivotal moment that led him to specialize in hand surgery. He also talks about how surgeons can recognize when it may be appropriate to narrow or refine their scope of practice. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Chung opens up about what keeps him grounded outside of medicine and the philosophy he follows to prevent burnout throughout a demanding and highly productive career. Tune in for rare insight and invaluable perspective from one of plastic surgery's most accomplished leaders.   Read a recent classic PRS Global Open article by Dr. Chung and co-authors, "Out-of-pocket Costs and Total Payments for Common Congenital Hand Difference Procedures": https://bit.ly/Congenital-Hand-Costs-Chung   Your host, Dr. Vimal Gokani, is a senior Specialty Registrar in plastic surgery in London, England.

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 Listen to the podcast 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. Start Your Journey with Evolve Plastic Surgery If you're considering Botox, fillers, breast reconstruction, or any other aesthetic procedure, Dr. Irena Karanetz and the team at Evolve Plastic Surgery are ready to guide you through every step.

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

We are going to discuss the topic of scars and cover several topics related to scars on this edition of the DiepCJourney podcast. It is understood, anyone who has surgery will have scars of some kind. There is a mechanism to how scars heal. In plastic surgery, if you think of the Greek word, plastikós (πλᾰστῐκός it means to shape or mold. Scars are a significant consideration in plastic surgery then. I invited an expert in the field to share his expertise on the topic. My guest is Dr. Andrew Gassman joined PRMA in San Antonio, Texas in 2021. Dr. Gassman completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and a general surgery residency, as Chief of Surgical Resident Education, at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood Illinois. Following his residency, Dr. Gassman completed his fellowship in breast and reconstructive microsurgery, with a specialty in facial reanimation at UTSW Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Gassman and his team practice the co-surgeon model in breast reconstruction, meaning each patient undergoing autologous breast reconstruction will have two board-certified microsurgeons in the OR at the time of their reconstruction. They are part of the IFAR (Institute for Advanced Reconstruction) network collaborating with other microsurgeons in the IFAR network to improve patient safety, care, and outcomes. Dr. Gassman discusses the importance of scars and the considerations for plastic surgeons regarding scars for their patients. He tells us, “These are marks that a patient is going to carry with them for their lives.” He tells us about techniques used at his practice and considerations like: ·       Scar placement ·       Scar healing ·       Different types of scars and skin types ·       Scar management after surgery ·       Scar revisions at phase 2 ·       Emotional impact of scars We reference a DiepCJourney podcast in our discussion you can listen to here: Ep. 60: Credibility in the Noise _ Social Media, Breast Reconstruction, and Your Experience.

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!
