In a refreshingly honest and revealing conversation, Nicole Behnam sits down with top plastic surgeons Dr. Ritu Chopra, known for his Deep Plane Facelift, and Dr. Nathaniel Villanueva, known for his body contouring. These two experts don’t just reshape faces and bodies, but also challenge the culture around beauty itself.
They break down the most popular procedures of 2025 — what’s trending, what’s timeless, and what they refuse to do.
In a candid conversation, they openly discuss the things most surgeons would never say out loud. From the psychological impact of beauty standards on both women and men, to breast implant illness, to the ethics of turning down patients, this episode is a deep dive into the values that guide their work.
Dr. Chopra and Dr. Villanueva share why they reject the “one-size-fits-all” aesthetic and instead champion natural, subtle enhancement that aligns with each individual’s unique features — and more importantly, their well-being.
This episode is about more than surgery — it’s about honesty, integrity, and redefining beauty on your own terms.
