Dr. Bass explains his idea of “right-sized beauty planning” and why having a personalized approach makes all the difference in plastic surgery.

Whether you’re looking to address one specific feature, maintain your look over the next year, or map out a l...

Living in a diverse, multicultural society, your idea of beauty is shaped by the variety of people around you. 

In the U.S., what we find attractive has shifted over time, from the narrow ideals of the 1950s to a broader, more inclusive standard influenced by global cultures. 

Dr. Steven Dayan joins Dr. Bass to talk about how beauty is defined differently across cultures, and why today’s aesth...

Dr. Douglas Steinbrech joins Dr. Bass to discuss his game-changing concept of body banking. Instead of tossing out fat after liposuction, body banking preserves it and strategically reinjects it into areas like the chest, shoulders, arms, or buttocks to enhance your shape and keep your body in balance.

It’s not just about taking fat away. It’s about sculpting, reshaping, and maximizing what you already hav...

Drs. Bass and Edinger break down what a facelift can and can’t do.

Facelifts are great for tightening loose skin, lifting jowls, and restoring volume in the face and neck—helping you look more refreshed and youthful. But they don’t address everything. Wrinkles, sun damage, and changes around the eyes and brows usually need other treatments.

There’s a big difference between how facelifts are de...

When it comes to beauty, some people approach it with excitement and a flurry of activity, while others take a calm, methodical approach. When it comes to plastic surgery, boring is actually better.

The facelift is the ultimate reset for facial aging and the gold standard for tightening lax skin and restoring a more youthful look. If you want real, lasting improvement, nothing else comes close.

Today’s facelift is nothing like your grandmother’s. That’s why we’re launching a new series to break down what facelifts really look like in 2025 and debunk the outdated myths that still linger from decades pa...

A cosmetic “hit and run" is when you get a treatment with barely any consultation, minimal assessment, and little to no aftercare—a quick in-and-out procedure with no real thought behind it.

Aesthetics isn’t like grabbing a Big Mac at the drive-thru, though. It’s personal, customized, and requires a deeper understanding of how your body responds to treatments over time. What you've done before, what you mi...

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 ...

Hair loss isn’t just about genetics or male pattern baldness. Aging, stress, and environmental factors can also take a toll.

We all want to look and feel our best. It’s a natural part of being human. But what exactly makes someone beautiful?

Dr. Steven Dayan, a leading expert in beauty and aesthetics, dives deep into this question with Dr. Bass. They explore the complex interplay between our subconscious and conscious perceptions of beauty.

It turns out, beauty isn't just skin deep. There's a mathematical side to it...

Because the neck tends to reveal your age more clearly—and age faster—than your face, it is a key area to address when talking about facial aging.

Some people catch the early signs, like skin texture changes, and horizontal lines across the neck. For these concerns, skin treatments, like chemical peels, energy treatments for skin and dermal stimulating filler treatments can help.  For minimal sagging or ex...

As we get older, our lips naturally change. They lose their plumpness, the space between the nose and upper lip gets longer, and the pink part of the lip starts to wrinkle and lose its color.

Filler can definitely make your lips look fuller, but it's more about the shape than the size but there are other options for the lip as well.  A lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles in the upper lip and rotate th...

While restorative treatments become more essential with age, prevention and maintenance are crucial at every stage. Dr. Bass explains the importance of creating a personalized anti-aging plan that works with your b...
