Speaker 1 (00:01):
Similar, well, everybody since he's in plastic surgery. Everybody now
Doctor Arthur Perry one of the best plastic surgeons on earth.
You can hear him. He's got a radio show here
every Saturday at six o'clock, Doctor Arthur Perry. But he's
really good. And his website is Perry Plasticsurgery dot com,
(00:22):
Perry Plastic Surgery dot com. And he's with us. Actually,
I hate when you're in the studio. I mean, I
love seeing you, but I can tell you looking at me,
going oh I can fix that. Oh that needs fixing.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Just just a few hours in the operating room and
we're all set Mark and and oh look look Mark,
Look what I brought for you. Oh no, what is that?
That's botox. It's botox. I've been threatening one day you're
going to break down. We're actually going to do it
in the studio.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I cry at a flu shot. So I just don't
like this stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's such a small needle. It's okay, mar.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It is tiny. The needle he showed me is tiny. Now,
and I know a million people they get boat talks
every two seconds. It doesn't bother them at all.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Ten million people last year in the United States. That's
a lot of people. It is so popular. He's looking
at me.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I will do it someday. Well, you know, we'll get
them there. Now, let me ask you a question. There's
a couple of these hotshot plastic surgeons. I don't know
that they're great. I see them in the newspaper all
the time. They're in the gossip comms, which is usually
a bad sign. But one of them, somebody calls it's
like two hundred three hundred thousand for a Facebook. That's crazy.
That's crazy. That is absolutely crazy. And you know, I
mean the truth is, how do people get in the
(01:34):
magazines and on TV? They get pr agents And it
doesn't necessarily mean they're the best. Some of the best
plastic surgeons I know no one's ever heard of because
they're full time faculty members. They are the best. You've
never heard of them. And yet you know the one
hundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollars face off crazy mark.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, so you don't have to spend that time, No,
you do not.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
That is a true anomaly in the world, and there
are only a few people that could either get away
with that or find people should I say, stupid enough
to pay that kind of money, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well yeah, and that's uh those it's those people that go,
I saw him in the pay Perry must be good
and then they pay that kind of money. But yeah,
doctor Arthur Perry, you can you can trust him. You
want to go to him. Now, speaking of facelift, that
look at that. If I lift my face like that
looks better? All right, Yes, yep, we gotta do it. Mark,
come on, come on, But four hours and you're a
(02:27):
changed man. But four hours, well that's how a facelift is.
Three or four hours.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But honestly, Mark, there are much simpler ways to look better.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It is the fall. Right, we're in October. We've gone
through the summer. Everyone was out having parties and on
the beach. Now we're getting ready for Thanksgiving and and
the Christmas season. Right, everyone wants to look good. But
there are some really simple things that you can do
to look good. And people just forget the little growth
on the face. Everybody's got kind of a zoo growing
(02:57):
on their face. Mark, you know, moles and sebary character
and the simple simple thing that you can do doesn't
cost a lot of money. You go in for a
session with a plastic surgeon and look better. You know,
I looked at some statistics. Forty percent of adults are single.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Forty percent, and it goes to like forty six percent
over the age of sixty. That's a lot of single people.
Everybody's a lot of happy people too. But everybody wants
to look better, right, you do. You know we we
see people on TV and in the movies and they're
not they're not unattractive, right. There's so you know, you
(03:35):
can make whatever judgments you want, but the truth is
we'd like to look at prettier and better looking people. Right.
So it's so simple to just clean up the things
on your skin, that's number one, and a good skincare
program that will take you a long way to looking better.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah. We all know somebody with a big mole or
something's sticking out a little and that's not surgery, that's just.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, it's it's surgery. It's minor surgery, but it's in
the office and you know, forty five minutes later it's
gone and you look so much better. The psychologists use
this term called cognitive dissonance. You know, that's where you
look at someone and there's something wrong and you can't
quite put your finger on it. But it's the asymmetry
that a mole creates, or maybe a big brown mole
with hair. You know, no one likes that. Get rid
(04:17):
of those things. They're so easy, and some of those
could be cancer. So you know, it's a good idea.
You get two benefits. You have a medical benefit and
a cosmetic benefit when you do those things.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Now, I could look at them here, I could see
three things I could fix you look at me, you
see like forty two things. Right, it's a project mark.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Now, but everybody as you get older, look, we all
age right.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
All right, So if I got a facelift like that,
it's four hours. Now, then what happens how long before
I look normal and go to work?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, you're out of work for about two weeks, that's it,
you know. And now with masks, yeah, maybe you get
in a little sooner now about two weeks really, and
it's it's a pretty easy recovery. No pain medicine other
than tile til bad word now, but.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Ha, tile and all not a painful thing.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
No, it doesn't hurt afterwards, honestly, in a scale of
one to ten. A facelifts is somewhere between one and three.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Wow. Yeah, okay, Now these bags under my eyes, if
I want to get rid of those.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Even easier, Mar. Yeah, so there's some extra I'm looking at.
You've got some extra skin of your lower islands. You've
got some fat in the lower islands, your upper island,
look at your upper islands. Mark, there's extra skin. It's
almost an emergency. That's about two and a half three hours.
Look these procedures, by the way, under local anesthesia, we
(05:33):
don't need to use general antesesia. It's nice, smooth intravenous
sedation like with your colon os could be, except no
tubes in the other side.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
There.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's a nice RESTful thing and it doesn't hurt, and
then you come out. You look terrible though, for about
two weeks because you're bruised and swollen, and then you
look great, and for.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Two weeks you got to put ice on it and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now the ice actually, interestingly, we don't use ice anymore.
You shouldn't use ice because some people get frostbite injuries
and there's no benefit to it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So you just recovering. Yeah, yeah, okay, what else Okay,
if you're a woman breasts, Now what's the trend now?
Is it bigger, smaller?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, certainly smaller than it used to be. You know,
it's always funny, Mark, you know when you see women
that have these enormous implants, like I saw one of
their Kardashians and these implants are up by her clavigals,
by her collar bone. That's crazy. That would be considered
a complication in cosmetic surgery. And yet I've had people
(06:33):
ask me to put implants that way. I say, I
can't do that, that's that's wrong, and they say, well,
the celebrities have it that way. It's like, oh my goodness.
You know, so now we're redefining what beauty is based on.
You know, this group of people from California who who
had bad cosmetic surgery. But you know, everybody sees it.
It's crazy. Yeah that we're talking to doctor Arthur Perry.
(06:54):
He's a great plastic surgeon. But there are bad ones.
So I see people I know they had a facelift
and they look phenomenal. It looked so natural. Then you
see the other ones who looks tight and plastic and
like muppets, like Boca ratan face of well, how do
you avoid that?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
How do you know you're not going to get that?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You know, there's artistry in this. You know, we can
teach plastic surgeons how to operate, we can teach you
how to be good doctors. But the artistry, the artistry
is very difficult to teach. You know, either you're an
artist or you're not. And it doesn't take much to
pull a little bit too tight and you look funny.
And you know that's the hardest part to teach. I
teach over at the Colombian and Cornell at the Plastic
(07:31):
Surgery Residency program. And and you know that it's like ethics.
How can you teach ethics? Very difficult? Your mother has
to teach that. And artistry it's almost innate. You can
learn it. But and that's where you know, defining the
plastic surgeon a good or a great one, it's the
ability to create art with you as the media.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You got to have the hands. Guys. Hey, that's another thing.
If you get in botox, everybody does it. Now, do
not go to the hairdresser or the dentist for botox, right,
make sure it's a plastic surgeon who knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And beware of the really inexpensive botox because there's fake
stuff out there. There's there is you know, gray market
that means it comes from other countries. You have no
idea what it really is. You have to be careful.
You know, if botox costs six hundred dollars a vile
how is it that these storefront places are charging two
or three hundred. You know, something's wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And it's easier now to do plastic search right than
like thirty years ago. The equipment's better, the techniques are better, right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, there's absolutely there's refined techniques, you know, we you know,
surgical techniques are are certainly better now. For instance, the
facelift that you want so much before, you know, ten
fifteen years ago, we had to make incisions way up
into the hairline. Now we don't have to do that anymore.
We figured out ways. It's a little harder for the
plastic surgeon, but better for you facelift.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's not for me, it's for a friend ou Oh okay,
but take a look that would be now what do
I do my next? A little saggy? All right?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So for men it's different. So for you, I could
suction out that fat. Okay, let me turn to the sidemark.
You know your chin is good, so we don't need that.
So we suction it out and we bring those muscles together.
Remember Catherine Hepburn, you know those bands in the neck, Yeah,
bring those together and the tighter we bring those. Then
you know your neck looks slimmer and better. So that's
(09:20):
so you put a hole in the it's a small
incision under the chin mark. There's no although although there
is a method for men where we actually do just
excize that skin. That's a simpler way. I might have
that myself. You know, it's one of these just take
out that skin right there and place an incision in
the middle. Not good for women, but it works in men,
(09:41):
particularly if you don't want a bigger procedure. It's a
smaller perce.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
How long does that take.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's a little under two hours. And how you don't
want the surgeon to rush two weeks of recovery. Everything
is about two weeks. Although if you're just doing the
neck with turtlenecks, maybe a scarf as it's getting warmer,
older out there, rather yeah, you could probably hide or
you could probably pull it off. In about a week
and you know what, Mark w Or will set up
the studio in your home. You know, you just there
(10:07):
you go the little comrades you can broadcast three days later.
What do you say, listeners, tell tell, We'll get Mark
to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Oh, but you know they just banned. Uh. North Korea
has banned cosmetic surgery. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, it's not something, it's it's a It must be
good if they banned Oh my goodness. Yeah, breast augmentations.
Facelifts can't do it because it it goes against the
socialist agenda. That's what. What's his name, Kim John.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Kim Jong Moon.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, yeah, so I guess if you want cosmetic surgery,
don't do it in North Korea, although South Korea very popular.
