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. Even though the silicone gel scare occurred in the early 1990s, it hangs on till this day. Complicating this entire issue is a real problem and has reared its head over the past several years. This is called breast implant associate?anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). This is a malignancy that has been linked to textured breast implants. He has been in the press several times over the past several years. It has caused a great deal of confusion among people with breast implants or who are considering getting breast implants. In this pod cast we will take a deep dive into this problem, explaining exactly what this illness is and its incidence. We will talk about how it presents and how it is treated. We will talk about all things implant related and, as always, will get completely sidetracked on to other topics as well. If you are considering implants for any reason, this will be an important pod cast for you.

Let's Talk Beauty With Dr. Downs

What is this breast implant thing?

I know that many of us are used to hearing the phrase?Winter is Comin? from HB?s epic series Game of Thrones. We all know that getting ready for winter is completely different. Winter poses different stresses on her body and skin. But here in the real world, spring and summer do occur if you live in one of the parts of the country that celebrates four seasons. As summer approaches we start to think about less clothing, showing more of our skin and the different stresses on our skin from increased exposure to UV radiation. In this pod cast we will discuss how to get ready for summer, not only getting our skin ready in terms of moisturization and sunscreens, but we will also touch on body contouring, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. These are the 3 big surgeries and procedures that we see leading up to the summer months. We will talk about timing as well as recuperation time and what to expect from these procedures. And as always we will get side tracked into many different topics, all of which will help us get ready for the warmer weather.

Summer is Coming!

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.

The Eyes Have It

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.

Hangin' By A Thread

As one of the most common injectable procedures done across the country? over 7 million procedures each year in the U.S. alone? paralytic agents such as Boto? are arguably the most popular minimally invasive procedures in the history of the aesthetics industry.
