Well Doctor Arthur Perry, he's one of the top plastic surgeons.
He's got offices in Manhattan, New Jersey. You know what,
He's been doing the show here on WR for years
and years and years. Very popular show and a great
plastic surgeon. Everybody has questions on this subject, so he's
the guy to ask.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Doctor Arthur Perry on the public wants to know that
public doesn't get a damn.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Talk to Arthur Perry, the best in plastic surgery and
workal knowledge, but also your grace at delivering content, which
is why it's been a blessing to have you on
my show so many times. When I was a resident
at the University of Chicago, we had a mean.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
You're smart, as I really really gifted position. I want
to pay you the highest true I can give to
a surgeon, which is when people come to you, they
don't come for an operation, they come for the opinion.
And that's why I trust you with my friends and relatives.
I didn't realize we were going to get the Michael
Jordan of Plastic Surgeons nine.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
O two and zero bows to this guide and welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This is doctor Arthur Perry. This is what's your wrinkle
right here on wo R. Hopefully you're staying warm. No
co hosts this evening. It's just you and me and
Noah in the studio. We are here to educate, we're
here to entertain a little bit. This is the show
about you. It's a show about your wrinkles, about your
(01:37):
fat deposits on your hips. Yeah, that's what it's about.
I'm a board certified plastic surgeon and I do facelifts
and rhino plastics and lippos suction and breast augmentations and
breastlifts and all those different things. I remove moles and
that's the kind of a thing I like to do
during the week, but on weekends, this is the thing
(01:59):
that I do. A Board certified plastic surgeon in the
host of What's Your Wrinkle? Right here on WOAR and
host of straight Talk about cosmetic Surgery heard in the
podcast world all over the world. So if you haven't
signed up for the podcast yet, we're going to talk
about the podcasts in a few minutes. But we're also
(02:20):
going to talk you know, a lot of people ask
me about cosmetic surgery in men.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Today's your day. We're going to talk about surgery and men.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We're also going to talk about one of my favorite topics,
what makes a good skincare program and what to look
out for with all the ingredients and all the products
out there. You know, you walk through the stores, you
walk into Nordstroms and Macy's and all the stores, and
you see this myriad of hundreds and thousands of skincare products.
(02:54):
How do you decide what works what doesn't work. We're
going to talk about that today. There was in New Jersey, Boy,
this is really something Noah loves. These stories but it's
not a good story. There was an unlicensed person in
New Jersey. She was arrested this past week for practicing
medicine without a license. Not a plastic surgeon, but yet
(03:15):
she was doing all the things that I'm doing.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Hopefully I'm doing it better than her. She's going to
jail for this.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
We'll talk a little bit about that, and of course
we're going to take your phone calls. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the phone number here
at wor eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Give me a call and we'll send you a bottle
of soft time. It's so nice this time of year.
It's raw outside. If you were out this morning, boy,
(03:43):
and yesterday just raw, And it really does at number
on your skin between the raw weather and the what
happens when you go inside because the heat is up
in your apartment, the heat is up in your house,
and what happens drives humidity down, and yeah, you get
(04:05):
chapped lips and you get those little cuts around your fingers.
And soft time is what's really good to slather on
your face and slather on your skin, on your hands, uh,
and then put it on and we'll protect you with
the soft Time. So eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten is the phone number. Eight hundred three two
(04:27):
one zero seven ten. Give me a call and we'll
send you home with one of those bottles of soft Time.
All Right, we've got Noah in the studio and I
am in the Hamptons, and I'm here to answer your questions.
So let's talk a little bit about cosmetic surgery in general.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
What is it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's the most popular part of plastic surgery. It's the
part that I do. And word cosmetic surgery has been
kind of the province of women for the most part.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
You know, ninety ninety.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Five percent of cosmetic surgical procedure procedures they are performed
on women. But I do have a lot of men
in the practice. Most of my men, honestly, are the
spouses of the women that I've done cosmetic surgery on. So, so
I'll do a facelift on a woman. The man will
have heard this show on the radio, or they'll they'll
(05:21):
have gotten my name from someone else. They'll bring their
wife in and she'll have a facelift. She'll have her
eyelids done, maybe a breastlift, and as happened, so many
times during the recovery. Two months later, the man will
bring me to the side and say, well, you know
what about this in my neck here? You know now
(05:42):
that we've taken care of my wife, and I'll talk
to him about about that, and more often than not,
we'll wind up operating on the husband also. And it's
a different operation. So when I see a man, it's
a it's a very different experience because women have much
more pronounced results with cosmetic surgery, much more. I hate
(06:05):
to use the word radical, but certainly I do a
more conservative operation in a man. So if a man
comes in, let's take a typical sixty year old man
who's got some jowels, right, he's got and what our jowls.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You know what jowls are.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're the tissue, the fibrous, fatty tissue skin, and even
a little bit of muscle that descends from the mid
face and takes your jawline, which in youth is nice
and straight and defining your jaw defines your cheek above
and your neck below. But when you get hit about
you know, fifty or so, you start getting this jow
(06:43):
and you lose the definition between your cheeks and your neck.
So what do we do and a woman, the answer
is a facelift. And a facelift requires making an incision
in front of your ear, and I do what's called
the two layered face. The second layer is the fibrofatty
layer of tissue, and I lift that up and back,
(07:06):
and then I remove some extra skin and I tighten
your cheekskin, and then I make an incision underneath your chin,
and I look right at those muscles, those band muscles,
those Catherine Hepburn bands, remember her, And I'm looking at them.
I've cleaned the fat off of those and I sew
them together and tighten the neck and then lift up
(07:28):
the skin. And that's a facelift and a woman. But
in a man there's a bunch of problems. And one
of those problems is when I move the skin up
and back, Well, there's hair on your face, right, and
woman doesn't have that issue. In a man, Am I
going to move the hair into the ear? Now that's
a problem, right. Think about this. It's hard enough for
(07:50):
you men out there to shave near the ear, right,
And you know, you go to the barber and they
trim inside your ear, and that's kind of a pain
in the neck, and you know you have to deal
with that. But imagine if you actually had to shave
onto your tragus. What's the tragus? You say, what is
the tragus? The tragas is that little piece of cartilage
(08:12):
in the front of your ear sort of sort of
protects your ear a bit. That's the tragus. Now, imagine
if you had had hair growing on and on the
other side of your tragus.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
That's not so good.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So if you are if you have brown hair or
black hair, I could do some laser hair removal there.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
But if the hair is.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
White or gray or light brown or blonde, uh, you're
not gonna be able to laser that off, and then
you have an issue. And that's one of the reasons
why facelifts are not particularly popular in men, because it
brings hair bearing air hair into the ear. Now, I could,
of course stop the make the incision in front of
the ear, which some plastic surgeons do not in the ear,
(08:56):
but then you see a color change in the skin
and you see an incision, so we try and hide that.
So it does present a conundrum, as George Costanzo would say, right,
and so more often than not we do not lift
the cheeks of men. But rather we do just the
neck portion. I make an incision under the neck, I
suction out the fat, I tighten the muscles of the neck,
(09:19):
and we accept a little bit of laxity of skin
in the neck and in exchange for not having the
scars in the cheek. And so more often than not,
that is a facelift in a man. And the other
way to do it is to directly excize. And I
talked about this a few weeks ago, and it's probably
the facelift that I'll have direct excision of the skin
(09:40):
of the turkey gobbler in the neck. Not a good
decision for most women, although I've done this on women also,
But in men, the scars tend to look a little
bit better. And one of the things that's trendy now
is the two or three day hair growth, you know,
not shaving for maybe shaving twice a week or so,
and that covers a lot of imperfections. And you say, well,
(10:03):
that's a cop out, right, but that is the that
is the trend, and so that's a procedure that we
can do in men. We've got a regular caller on
the line, Sondra or can I do for you.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
What's what's your wrinkle? Tonight?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
One about our friend the mold patient.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
He wait a minute, wait, do we have that music?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Noah, the continuing saga of Sondra's no music.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Okay, tell us about them all this?
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Well, no, no, no, But first I wanted to could
I talk about this other thing first?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Okay, this is this is so bizarre, Doctor Perry. A woman.
She's a Beverly Hills housewife. I don't know if you
heard the story yet. I don't know if you want
her name or not. But he is suffering. Okay, she's
suffering from parasites on her face, doctor Perry. If you
saw the she's in the news. I mean it's in
the news. Though it's not like she doesn't want anyone
(10:53):
to know. She's terribly troubled. You would see deep, deep,
deep depressions, and then you would see pull on on
another part of a face, and then it keeps moving,
and it's such a sandness and such a distortion, so
comparasites actually go on your face.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's my question, Sodra, Sodra, Yes, what did you know
that your skincare may be hurting you more than helping you?
I'm Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry. The foundation
for looking good is clean, healthy skin. So I've created
(11:31):
a program that is so simple that everyone can stay
on it long enough to see real results. It starts
with an incredible skin cleaner called clean Time. It's actually
good for your skin. Protect your skin with my Daytime
SPF twenty cream in the evening, feed your skin with
my Powerhouse Nighttime Serum. Nighttime has vitamin CNA, antioxidants and
(11:54):
skin brighteners. And if you like moisturizers, well, I've created
Soft Time with seramides and vitamin Throw away the bags
of useless products and try doctor Perry's Skincare. Join the
thousands of people whose skin is healthier. That's doctor Perry's
Skincare on Amazon dot com. And don't forget to listen
to my radio show right here on wo R Every
(12:15):
Saturday evening at six pm.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
And we are back.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I'm Board certified Plastic sertain doctor Arthur Perry, host of
What's Your Wrinkle for a long long time, and we
had some technical difficulties getting on the air for the
first part of the show. So you were listening to
a little tape there and that very famous phone call, Sondra.
You'll have to call in next week and talk about
what you were talking about there. So because listeners are
on the edge of their seat, but I've got all
(12:48):
sorts of things to talk about tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
This is live.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
And the phone number here, We're not gonna have too
much time for a phone call, but eight hundred three
to one zero seven ten is the number, you know.
Last week we also we ran a rerun because I
was at the annual meeting of the American Association for
Esthetic Plastic Surgeons.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
We had our annual meeting.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Every cosmetic plastic surgeon in the country pretty much was
in Austin, Texas last week, and we were learning about
all the new things in plastic surgery. I go to
one or two or three of those meetings each year,
and I find them fascinating. I've been going to meetings
for a long time, and you know, I wait for
the big, big new thing each year. There wasn't so
(13:31):
much new this year, but you know what they were
talking about in skincare. Everybody was talking sounds like Mark
Simon right, everybody was talking about xisomes. Have you heard
of those things? Exisomes? If you haven't already, you are
going to hear about them because they are going to
be huge. And the question is what the heck are
they and do they do anything to skincare? You know,
(13:53):
I've been in the skincare world for twenty years and
I've read pretty much every paper that has ever been published.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
An exosome. They're kind of pieces.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Of cells, that's the way you look at them, and
they're independent of the actual growing cell, and they have
chemicals and hormones and peptides, amino acids and all sorts
of things. And they find they're from platelets and they're
from other types of cells. But they found that when
these these exosomes were put in wound culture and in
(14:25):
burns and in wounds, they do great things. They help
you heal. So someone got the bright idea that let's
put it on skin, and if it helps wounds, it's
certainly going.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
To help skin.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And it's supposed to make your skin look younger and
better and less wrinkles and the magic fountain of youth,
that's the exosome. So I looked you know, I want
to know, are these something real? Is it something that
I should be putting in my skincare you know? Is
the what's the story with exisomes? And it turns out
(14:57):
I'm going to teach my audience one very very important thing.
The skin, and I've said this many times on the air,
is kind of like a chain link fence. It lets
certain very small molecules in keeps the big molecules out,
just like a chain link fence would let a ping
pong ball be pushed through, but not a football. Right,
That's what your skin does. It wants to keep you healthy,
(15:19):
keep the bad things out. Well, it turns out that
everything has a weight. Remember this, Remember eleventh grade, ninth
grade chemistry, hydrogen one, remember that carbon twelve, oxygen sixteen?
You remember those molecular weights of your eyes glaze over
when you hear that stuff. Right, But everything has a weight,
(15:39):
And it turns out that only small molecules can penetrate
the skin.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
That's a littick.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We can't go faster than the speed of light. That's
a law of physics. It's the law of your skin
that nothing under five hundred doltons. That's the type of
that's the weight of a chemical that can get into
the skin. So everything that is scientifically prove going to
make a difference, like vitamin A, vitamin C, nicotine, estrogen, testosterone,
(16:06):
all those patches that you see well, and all the
skincare that really makes a difference, Vitamin B three, vitamin
B five. They're all small molecules. What's a big molecule,
haluronic acid. Those substances cannot get through the sin botox, right,
you have to inject those things. They can't get through
(16:28):
intact skin. So what about these new things, these exisomes
that the industry is buzzing about. They are going to
be big, They're going to be in all the high
end creams and lotions next year.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Do they work?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, let's talk about this. How about one hundred and
seventy one thousand dultons. Remember when I said five hundred.
Anything under five hundred can get in the skin. Anything
over five hundred can't get in. There is no exisome
that can possibly get through the skin. So I'm here
to tell you it's fantasy, and don't swallow it. Don't
spend your hard earned dollars on xisomes. And that that
(17:05):
is my flap of the week. No, remember those. We
don't want to have you spend money on things that
can't work. And you know, maybe there will be a
publication that says, okay, where they can work. Possibly micro needling,
you know where we force those in. But the problem is,
are you gonna have micro needling twice a week?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You might have it once every six months or once
a year. So those needles can force the exosomes into
the skin where they can do something for a few hours.
But we know that for skincare to work, and for
good skincare to work, you have to apply it to
your skin almost constantly. Because we're in a downhill course,
(17:45):
we really are. Our aging begins at age thirty. Our
skin begins to deteriorate at thins. We lose collagen, we
lose haluronic acid, we lose all these substances that make
up the healthy ingredients in our skin. And it's a
battle to just stay even. And it's a real battle
(18:05):
to thicken the skin and fight that and actually look younger.
So I'm here to tell you I don't think exosomes
have any scientific basis in skincare.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I hope. I'm proven wrong, but I don't think I will.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, let's take our break and we're gonna come back
and we're gonna talk a little bit more about how
about ultrasound in the face. That's the hot thing in
plastic surgery. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Wrinkle. We're going to be back
after these words. They say that sixty is the new fifty.
(18:40):
But while you may feel and act fifty, the mirror
doesn't lie. But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm
board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and I love
helping patients look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
and younger. With my short scar facelift and the artistic
(19:03):
injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well, that
might be just what it takes to get you looking
as good as you feel. Let's sit down for an
hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together, we'll
come up with a plan to help you look your best.
Give me a call at eight three three Perry MD.
That's a three three p e R R Y M D.
Check me out on the web at Perryplastic Surgery dot com.
(19:26):
And don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on wo.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
R you're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with Doctor Arthur Perry,
What's Your Rinkle?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
And we're back on board certified classic ser to doctor
Arthur Perry, host of What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOR.
I I promise you we're going to have a smoother
show next week. We'll have a whole half hour. So
if you're trying to call in now, we're not gonna
have time to get to your call. But write the
number down eight hundred three two one zero seven ten,
eight hundred three too one zero seven ten, give me
a call right at the beginning of the show next
(20:00):
week and I will try my hardest to answer your question.
So I'm I'm broadcasting live now, and I've got offices
in the upper east side of Manhattan, eighty fifth in
Park Avenue. I've got my office in Somerset, New Jersey,
and the latest. If you heard me two weeks ago
speak with doctor Caroline Messer. I am now part of
(20:21):
a well By Messer that is such a wonderful medical
practice in the upper east side of Manhattan. It's on
sixtieth Street, on right off of Park Avenue. It's one
hundred and ten East sixtieth Street, and I am seeing patients.
In a couple week weeks, we'll be seeing our first
patients over there. You can give a call to well
By Messer six four, six, nine, one, seven, seventy eight
(20:45):
ninety eight, tell them that you heard me on the
radio and that you want an appointment for oh, a
consultation about cosmetic surgery or botox or filler or any
of those things. We'll be doing all those over there.
So you know, I'm splitting myself three ways now. But
this is such a wonderful practice. I'm so happy to
be associated with doctor Caroline Messer.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So at the plastic Surgery meeting in Austin, Texas last week,
there wasn't a tremendous amount of new technology like that.
We didn't see new lasers, and not so much in
new procedures, but something that is becoming more and more
popular is the use of ultrasound in all sorts of
plastic surgery procedures. And I started using it a couple
(21:29):
of years ago. But now, what is ultrasound. Well, you
know what ultrasound is. If you've ever had a baby,
you know the ultrasound your uterus. They look at the
health of the baby. If you had a thyroid nodule,
you had an ultrasound of your thyroid. Well, we can
actually use this ultrasound to see where the blood vessels
and the nerves are in your face, so that when
(21:51):
I am injecting filler. You know, there are certain areas
that are a little bit dangerous to inject, like between
the brows. I would never inject filler between the brows,
but we're injecting more and more filler in the temples.
A lot of women get kind of sunken in temples.
And by using ultrasound, I can see where the very
important blood vessels are and we can stay away from
(22:12):
those and we increase the safety.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Of the injections immeasurably.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And the latest thing, it's actually only two weeks old,
and I just ordered the I love this new technology.
I just ordered my new ultrasound device that uses artificial intelligence, and.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
So what it does, it's the coolest thing. Noah, you
would love this.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So it takes the ultrasound screen, which is a bunch
of squiggly lines in black and white, and it sends
it through the computer and the artificial intelligence then colors
in makes basically a painting of the skin and the
fat and the blood vessels. And it's actually like I'm
looking right at the tissue with the aid of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Really cool stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So, you know, I love this new technolology and this
was one of the big things at the meeting. We
can also use this technology to look at the integrity
of your breast implants without having to send you over
to the radiologist if we're worried maybe is there a
leak and your breast endplan. We can do all sorts
of things with this new technology, with this new artificial intelligence. Yeah,
(23:21):
artificial intelligence aided ultrasound. So that's kind of one of
the new things. Well it is. You know that this
is the baseball season, right, you know, baseball started last week.
More importantly, it's also lipos suction season. You know, it's
liposuction season. When the tulips start coming up. I'm doing
(23:41):
a lot of liposuction. I've done liposuction fat removal since
I was a resident at the University of Chicago. And
this is the season because people look at themselves. They
put a few extra pounds on around Christmas, right, you
know what I'm talking about. You try on that brand
new bathing suit, right, you know, and you look at
yourself and say, boy, if this fat, we're only gone
(24:02):
around my hips. So that's what's happening in my office now.
We're really gearing up for a really big liposuction season.
I saw a number of new patients last week, one
for liposuction of the thighs and one for liposuction of
the belly, and one for liposuction of the neck. And yeah,
it's a very popular it's very safe in the right hands.
(24:25):
How much can I remove, Well, you can actually remove
up to eleven pounds outside of the hospital. I rarely
remove that much because it's not a technique of weight loss,
it's a technique of body contouring. So give me a call,
we'll have your liposuction consultation. It is a procedure that
I do in a surgeon center. Usually I can do
it in the hospital, but usually a surgeon center, and
(24:47):
you're back at work in forty eight hours and on
the beach three weeks. Give it three weeks, all right,
Noah says, you know this short show. We had part
of it on tape and part of it live. But
he's the greatest engineer. And yes we got on and
we'll be on next week again every week six o'clock.
Give me a call on it to seven five three,

Well Doctor Arthur Perry, he's one of the top plastic surgeons.
He's got offices in Manhattan, New Jersey. You know what,
He's been doing the show here on WR for years
and years and years. Very popular show and a great
plastic surgeon. Everybody has questions on this subject, so he's
the guy to ask.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Doctor Arthur Perry on the public wants to know that
public doesn't get a damn.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
And I went to his office and I said, I said,
look at my face and he goes, yeah, look at
your face. We're going to do with your fan What
can you do with his face? I go like that,
I s what you got. I go look at this,
I'm getting old. I said, I want to maybe he
can fix it up a little bit.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Doctor Oz, are you there, I'm here, Ark, and I
want to get a plauged you. Having worked with you
and a book and numerous other activity, you want to.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Talk to Arthur Perry, the best in plastic surgery and
workal knowledge, but also your grace at delivering content, which
is why it's been a blessing to have you on
my show so many times. When I was a resident
at the University of Chicago, we had a mean.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
You're smart, as I really really gifted position. I want
to pay you the highest true I can give to
a surgeon, which is when people come to you, they
don't come for an operation, they come for the opinion.
And that's why I trust you with my friends and relatives.
I didn't realize we were going to get the Michael
Jordan of Plastic Surgeons nine.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
O two and zero bows to this guide and welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This is doctor Arthur Perry. This is what's your wrinkle
right here on wo R. Hopefully you're staying warm. No
co hosts this evening. It's just you and me and
Noah in the studio. We are here to educate, we're
here to entertain a little bit. This is the show
about you. It's a show about your wrinkles, about your
(01:37):
fat deposits on your hips. Yeah, that's what it's about.
I'm a board certified plastic surgeon and I do facelifts
and rhino plastics and lippos suction and breast augmentations and
breastlifts and all those different things. I remove moles and
that's the kind of a thing I like to do
during the week, but on weekends, this is the thing
(01:59):
that I do. A Board certified plastic surgeon in the
host of What's Your Wrinkle? Right here on WOAR and
host of straight Talk about cosmetic Surgery heard in the
podcast world all over the world. So if you haven't
signed up for the podcast yet, we're going to talk
about the podcasts in a few minutes. But we're also
(02:20):
going to talk you know, a lot of people ask
me about cosmetic surgery in men.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Today's your day. We're going to talk about surgery and men.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We're also going to talk about one of my favorite topics,
what makes a good skincare program and what to look
out for with all the ingredients and all the products
out there. You know, you walk through the stores, you
walk into Nordstroms and Macy's and all the stores, and
you see this myriad of hundreds and thousands of skincare products.
(02:54):
How do you decide what works what doesn't work. We're
going to talk about that today. There was in New Jersey, Boy,
this is really something Noah loves. These stories but it's
not a good story. There was an unlicensed person in
New Jersey. She was arrested this past week for practicing
medicine without a license. Not a plastic surgeon, but yet
(03:15):
she was doing all the things that I'm doing.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Hopefully I'm doing it better than her. She's going to
jail for this.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
We'll talk a little bit about that, and of course
we're going to take your phone calls. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the phone number here
at wor eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Give me a call and we'll send you a bottle
of soft time. It's so nice this time of year.
It's raw outside. If you were out this morning, boy,
(03:43):
and yesterday just raw, And it really does at number
on your skin between the raw weather and the what
happens when you go inside because the heat is up
in your apartment, the heat is up in your house,
and what happens drives humidity down, and yeah, you get
(04:05):
chapped lips and you get those little cuts around your fingers.
And soft time is what's really good to slather on
your face and slather on your skin, on your hands, uh,
and then put it on and we'll protect you with
the soft Time. So eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten is the phone number. Eight hundred three two
(04:27):
one zero seven ten. Give me a call and we'll
send you home with one of those bottles of soft Time.
All Right, we've got Noah in the studio and I
am in the Hamptons, and I'm here to answer your questions.
So let's talk a little bit about cosmetic surgery in general.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
What is it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's the most popular part of plastic surgery. It's the
part that I do. And word cosmetic surgery has been
kind of the province of women for the most part.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
You know, ninety ninety.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Five percent of cosmetic surgical procedure procedures they are performed
on women. But I do have a lot of men
in the practice. Most of my men, honestly, are the
spouses of the women that I've done cosmetic surgery on. So, so
I'll do a facelift on a woman. The man will
have heard this show on the radio, or they'll they'll
(05:21):
have gotten my name from someone else. They'll bring their
wife in and she'll have a facelift. She'll have her
eyelids done, maybe a breastlift, and as happened, so many
times during the recovery. Two months later, the man will
bring me to the side and say, well, you know
what about this in my neck here? You know now
(05:42):
that we've taken care of my wife, and I'll talk
to him about about that, and more often than not,
we'll wind up operating on the husband also. And it's
a different operation. So when I see a man, it's
a it's a very different experience because women have much
more pronounced results with cosmetic surgery, much more. I hate
(06:05):
to use the word radical, but certainly I do a
more conservative operation in a man. So if a man
comes in, let's take a typical sixty year old man
who's got some jowels, right, he's got and what our jowls.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You know what jowls are.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're the tissue, the fibrous, fatty tissue skin, and even
a little bit of muscle that descends from the mid
face and takes your jawline, which in youth is nice
and straight and defining your jaw defines your cheek above
and your neck below. But when you get hit about
you know, fifty or so, you start getting this jow
(06:43):
and you lose the definition between your cheeks and your neck.
So what do we do and a woman, the answer
is a facelift. And a facelift requires making an incision
in front of your ear, and I do what's called
the two layered face. The second layer is the fibrofatty
layer of tissue, and I lift that up and back,
(07:06):
and then I remove some extra skin and I tighten
your cheekskin, and then I make an incision underneath your chin,
and I look right at those muscles, those band muscles,
those Catherine Hepburn bands, remember her, And I'm looking at them.
I've cleaned the fat off of those and I sew
them together and tighten the neck and then lift up
(07:28):
the skin. And that's a facelift and a woman. But
in a man there's a bunch of problems. And one
of those problems is when I move the skin up
and back, Well, there's hair on your face, right, and
woman doesn't have that issue. In a man, Am I
going to move the hair into the ear? Now that's
a problem, right. Think about this. It's hard enough for
(07:50):
you men out there to shave near the ear, right,
And you know, you go to the barber and they
trim inside your ear, and that's kind of a pain
in the neck, and you know you have to deal
with that. But imagine if you actually had to shave
onto your tragus. What's the tragus? You say, what is
the tragus? The tragas is that little piece of cartilage
(08:12):
in the front of your ear sort of sort of
protects your ear a bit. That's the tragus. Now, imagine
if you had had hair growing on and on the
other side of your tragus.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
That's not so good.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So if you are if you have brown hair or
black hair, I could do some laser hair removal there.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
But if the hair is.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
White or gray or light brown or blonde, uh, you're
not gonna be able to laser that off, and then
you have an issue. And that's one of the reasons
why facelifts are not particularly popular in men, because it
brings hair bearing air hair into the ear. Now, I could,
of course stop the make the incision in front of
the ear, which some plastic surgeons do not in the ear,
(08:56):
but then you see a color change in the skin
and you see an incision, so we try and hide that.
So it does present a conundrum, as George Costanzo would say, right,
and so more often than not we do not lift
the cheeks of men. But rather we do just the
neck portion. I make an incision under the neck, I
suction out the fat, I tighten the muscles of the neck,
(09:19):
and we accept a little bit of laxity of skin
in the neck and in exchange for not having the
scars in the cheek. And so more often than not,
that is a facelift in a man. And the other
way to do it is to directly excize. And I
talked about this a few weeks ago, and it's probably
the facelift that I'll have direct excision of the skin
(09:40):
of the turkey gobbler in the neck. Not a good
decision for most women, although I've done this on women also,
But in men, the scars tend to look a little
bit better. And one of the things that's trendy now
is the two or three day hair growth, you know,
not shaving for maybe shaving twice a week or so,
and that covers a lot of imperfections. And you say, well,
(10:03):
that's a cop out, right, but that is the that
is the trend, and so that's a procedure that we
can do in men. We've got a regular caller on
the line, Sondra or can I do for you.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
What's what's your wrinkle? Tonight?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
One about our friend the mold patient.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
He wait a minute, wait, do we have that music?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Noah, the continuing saga of Sondra's no music.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Okay, tell us about them all this?
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Well, no, no, no, But first I wanted to could
I talk about this other thing first?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Okay, this is this is so bizarre, Doctor Perry. A woman.
She's a Beverly Hills housewife. I don't know if you
heard the story yet. I don't know if you want
her name or not. But he is suffering. Okay, she's
suffering from parasites on her face, doctor Perry. If you
saw the she's in the news. I mean it's in
the news. Though it's not like she doesn't want anyone
(10:53):
to know. She's terribly troubled. You would see deep, deep,
deep depressions, and then you would see pull on on
another part of a face, and then it keeps moving,
and it's such a sandness and such a distortion, so
comparasites actually go on your face.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's my question, Sodra, Sodra, Yes, what did you know
that your skincare may be hurting you more than helping you?
I'm Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry. The foundation
for looking good is clean, healthy skin. So I've created
(11:31):
a program that is so simple that everyone can stay

to my radio show right here on wo R Every
(12:15):
Saturday evening at six pm.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
And we are back.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I'm Board certified Plastic sertain doctor Arthur Perry, host of
What's Your Wrinkle for a long long time, and we
had some technical difficulties getting on the air for the
first part of the show. So you were listening to
a little tape there and that very famous phone call, Sondra.
You'll have to call in next week and talk about
what you were talking about there. So because listeners are
on the edge of their seat, but I've got all
(12:48):
sorts of things to talk about tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
This is live.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
And the phone number here, We're not gonna have too
much time for a phone call, but eight hundred three
to one zero seven ten is the number, you know.
Last week we also we ran a rerun because I
was at the annual meeting of the American Association for
Esthetic Plastic Surgeons.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
We had our annual meeting.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Every cosmetic plastic surgeon in the country pretty much was
in Austin, Texas last week, and we were learning about
all the new things in plastic surgery. I go to
one or two or three of those meetings each year,
and I find them fascinating. I've been going to meetings
for a long time, and you know, I wait for
the big, big new thing each year. There wasn't so
(13:31):
much new this year, but you know what they were
talking about in skincare. Everybody was talking sounds like Mark
Simon right, everybody was talking about xisomes. Have you heard
of those things? Exisomes? If you haven't already, you are
going to hear about them because they are going to
be huge. And the question is what the heck are
they and do they do anything to skincare? You know,
(13:53):
I've been in the skincare world for twenty years and
I've read pretty much every paper that has ever been published.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
An exosome. They're kind of pieces.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Of cells, that's the way you look at them, and
they're independent of the actual growing cell, and they have
chemicals and hormones and peptides, amino acids and all sorts
of things. And they find they're from platelets and they're
from other types of cells. But they found that when
these these exosomes were put in wound culture and in
(14:25):
burns and in wounds, they do great things. They help
you heal. So someone got the bright idea that let's
put it on skin, and if it helps wounds, it's
certainly going.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
To help skin.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And it's supposed to make your skin look younger and
better and less wrinkles and the magic fountain of youth,
that's the exosome. So I looked you know, I want
to know, are these something real? Is it something that
I should be putting in my skincare you know? Is
the what's the story with exisomes? And it turns out
(14:57):
I'm going to teach my audience one very very important thing.
The skin, and I've said this many times on the air,
is kind of like a chain link fence. It lets
certain very small molecules in keeps the big molecules out,
just like a chain link fence would let a ping
pong ball be pushed through, but not a football. Right,
That's what your skin does. It wants to keep you healthy,
(15:19):
keep the bad things out. Well, it turns out that
everything has a weight. Remember this, Remember eleventh grade, ninth
grade chemistry, hydrogen one, remember that carbon twelve, oxygen sixteen?
You remember those molecular weights of your eyes glaze over
when you hear that stuff. Right, But everything has a weight,
(15:39):
And it turns out that only small molecules can penetrate
the skin.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
That's a littick.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We can't go faster than the speed of light. That's
a law of physics. It's the law of your skin
that nothing under five hundred doltons. That's the type of
that's the weight of a chemical that can get into
the skin. So everything that is scientifically prove going to
make a difference, like vitamin A, vitamin C, nicotine, estrogen, testosterone,
(16:06):
all those patches that you see well, and all the
skincare that really makes a difference, Vitamin B three, vitamin
B five. They're all small molecules. What's a big molecule,
haluronic acid. Those substances cannot get through the sin botox, right,
you have to inject those things. They can't get through
(16:28):
intact skin. So what about these new things, these exisomes
that the industry is buzzing about. They are going to
be big, They're going to be in all the high
end creams and lotions next year.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Do they work?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, let's talk about this. How about one hundred and
seventy one thousand dultons. Remember when I said five hundred.
Anything under five hundred can get in the skin. Anything
over five hundred can't get in. There is no exisome
that can possibly get through the skin. So I'm here
to tell you it's fantasy, and don't swallow it. Don't
spend your hard earned dollars on xisomes. And that that
(17:05):
is my flap of the week. No, remember those. We
don't want to have you spend money on things that
can't work. And you know, maybe there will be a
publication that says, okay, where they can work. Possibly micro needling,
you know where we force those in. But the problem is,
are you gonna have micro needling twice a week?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You might have it once every six months or once
a year. So those needles can force the exosomes into
the skin where they can do something for a few hours.
But we know that for skincare to work, and for
good skincare to work, you have to apply it to
your skin almost constantly. Because we're in a downhill course,
(17:45):
we really are. Our aging begins at age thirty. Our
skin begins to deteriorate at thins. We lose collagen, we
lose haluronic acid, we lose all these substances that make
up the healthy ingredients in our skin. And it's a
battle to just stay even. And it's a real battle
(18:05):
to thicken the skin and fight that and actually look younger.
So I'm here to tell you I don't think exosomes
have any scientific basis in skincare.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I hope. I'm proven wrong, but I don't think I will.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, let's take our break and we're gonna come back
and we're gonna talk a little bit more about how
about ultrasound in the face. That's the hot thing in
plastic surgery. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Wrinkle. We're going to be back
after these words. They say that sixty is the new fifty.
(18:40):
But while you may feel and act fifty, the mirror
doesn't lie. But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm
board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and I love
helping patients look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
and younger. With my short scar facelift and the artistic
(19:03):
injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well, that
might be just what it takes to get you looking
as good as you feel. Let's sit down for an
hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together, we'll
come up with a plan to help you look your best.
Give me a call at eight three three Perry MD.
That's a three three p e R R Y M D.
Check me out on the web at Perryplastic Surgery dot com.
(19:26):
And don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on wo.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
R you're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with Doctor Arthur Perry,
What's Your Rinkle?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
And we're back on board certified classic ser to doctor
Arthur Perry, host of What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOR.
I I promise you we're going to have a smoother
show next week. We'll have a whole half hour. So
if you're trying to call in now, we're not gonna
have time to get to your call. But write the
number down eight hundred three two one zero seven ten,
eight hundred three too one zero seven ten, give me
a call right at the beginning of the show next
(20:00):
week and I will try my hardest to answer your question.
So I'm I'm broadcasting live now, and I've got offices
in the upper east side of Manhattan, eighty fifth in
Park Avenue. I've got my office in Somerset, New Jersey,
and the latest. If you heard me two weeks ago
speak with doctor Caroline Messer. I am now part of
(20:21):
a well By Messer that is such a wonderful medical
practice in the upper east side of Manhattan. It's on
sixtieth Street, on right off of Park Avenue. It's one
hundred and ten East sixtieth Street, and I am seeing patients.
In a couple week weeks, we'll be seeing our first
patients over there. You can give a call to well
By Messer six four, six, nine, one, seven, seventy eight
(20:45):
ninety eight, tell them that you heard me on the
radio and that you want an appointment for oh, a
consultation about cosmetic surgery or botox or filler or any
of those things. We'll be doing all those over there.
So you know, I'm splitting myself three ways now. But
this is such a wonderful practice. I'm so happy to
be associated with doctor Caroline Messer.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So at the plastic Surgery meeting in Austin, Texas last week,
there wasn't a tremendous amount of new technology like that.
We didn't see new lasers, and not so much in
new procedures, but something that is becoming more and more
popular is the use of ultrasound in all sorts of
plastic surgery procedures. And I started using it a couple
(21:29):
of years ago. But now, what is ultrasound. Well, you
know what ultrasound is. If you've ever had a baby,
you know the ultrasound your uterus. They look at the
health of the baby. If you had a thyroid nodule,
you had an ultrasound of your thyroid. Well, we can
actually use this ultrasound to see where the blood vessels
and the nerves are in your face, so that when
(21:51):
I am injecting filler. You know, there are certain areas
that are a little bit dangerous to inject, like between
the brows. I would never inject filler between the brows,
but we're injecting more and more filler in the temples.
A lot of women get kind of sunken in temples.
And by using ultrasound, I can see where the very
important blood vessels are and we can stay away from
(22:12):
those and we increase the safety.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Of the injections immeasurably.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And the latest thing, it's actually only two weeks old,
and I just ordered the I love this new technology.
I just ordered my new ultrasound device that uses artificial intelligence, and.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
So what it does, it's the coolest thing. Noah, you
would love this.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So it takes the ultrasound screen, which is a bunch
of squiggly lines in black and white, and it sends
it through the computer and the artificial intelligence then colors
in makes basically a painting of the skin and the
fat and the blood vessels. And it's actually like I'm
looking right at the tissue with the aid of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Really cool stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So, you know, I love this new technolology and this
was one of the big things at the meeting. We
can also use this technology to look at the integrity
of your breast implants without having to send you over
to the radiologist if we're worried maybe is there a
leak and your breast endplan. We can do all sorts
of things with this new technology, with this new artificial intelligence. Yeah,
(23:21):
artificial intelligence aided ultrasound. So that's kind of one of
the new things. Well it is. You know that this
is the baseball season, right, you know, baseball started last week.
More importantly, it's also lipos suction season. You know, it's
liposuction season. When the tulips start coming up. I'm doing
(23:41):
a lot of liposuction. I've done liposuction fat removal since
I was a resident at the University of Chicago. And
this is the season because people look at themselves. They
put a few extra pounds on around Christmas, right, you
know what I'm talking about. You try on that brand
new bathing suit, right, you know, and you look at
yourself and say, boy, if this fat, we're only gone
(24:02):
around my hips. So that's what's happening in my office now.
We're really gearing up for a really big liposuction season.
I saw a number of new patients last week, one
for liposuction of the thighs and one for liposuction of
the belly, and one for liposuction of the neck. And yeah,
it's a very popular it's very safe in the right hands.
(24:25):
How much can I remove, Well, you can actually remove
up to eleven pounds outside of the hospital. I rarely
remove that much because it's not a technique of weight loss,
it's a technique of body contouring. So give me a call,
we'll have your liposuction consultation. It is a procedure that
I do in a surgeon center. Usually I can do
it in the hospital, but usually a surgeon center, and
(24:47):
you're back at work in forty eight hours and on
the beach three weeks. Give it three weeks, all right,
Noah says, you know this short show. We had part
of it on tape and part of it live. But
he's the greatest engineer. And yes we got on and
we'll be on next week again every week six o'clock.
Give me a call on it to seven five three,
(25:09):
eighteen twenty. Check me out on the website Perry Plastic
Surgery dot com. That's www. Perryplasticsurgery dot com. And don't
forget this becomes a podcast. Go to Apple Podcasts or

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
