   Patient Experience Series #1: Catherine's Facelift

   Catherine spent six years researching, saving, and waiting for her facelift. Almost nothing went the way she expected. She's the first guest in a new series with Dr. Lawrence Bass and co-host Summer Hardy, where patients, not just the surgeon, describe what surgery is really like. Loose neck skin first caught her eye in photos with her grandson. After her consultation, she waited a full year to book. She picked December so she could stay out of the sun while she healed. Her bruising and swelling were far milder than she braced for, and Tylenol handled the discomfort. She slept propped up for about a week and was back at her desk in five days. Some parts of recovery no one warns you about. She coordinated care for her 102-year-old aunt while healing herself. Her boss, her kids, and an old friend each had something to say once they noticed. Her advice if you're on the fence: research your surgeon until fear turns into confidence, then let the rest go. A good facelift heals quietly. You should look like a rested version of yourself, not someone new. Learn more about facelift surgery at Bass Plastic Surgery. Questions answered by this episode: 1.

   Facts & Fallacies: Facelift Surgery (Part 1)

   The surgery that meaningfully addresses skin laxity also happens to be the procedure that attracts the most persistent myths — from a supposedly "new" natural look invented overseas, to the idea that recovery takes months. In the first installment of a multi-episode series on face lifting, Dr. Lawrence Bass and co-host Summer Hardy work through the most common misconceptions people bring into a consultation, calling each one a fact or a fallacy. They cover the "Paris lift" media trend and why the natural-looking facelift is not new, the ASPS data on who is actually getting face and neck lifts, and why the "windswept" telltale of decades past does not describe the modern result. Dr. Bass traverses through the real recovery timeline, where the incisions actually sit, how facelift results hold up over 10 to 15 years, and how skin creams, regenerative treatments, and energy devices compare when the goal is meaningful correction of skin laxity. The through-line: a modern facelift is designed to look rested rather than "done," and no cream, injectable, or non-surgical device delivers more than a small fraction of what surgical lifting can do for laxity — roughly ten percent, in Dr. Bass's estimate. Questions answered by this episode: 1. Do modern facelifts still look pulled or windswept? 2. Is the "Paris lift" or the new natural-looking facelift trend actually a new technique? 3. Once you have a facelift, do you have to keep getting more? 4. Does your face age faster after you have had a facelift? 5. What age range gets the most face and neck lifts? 6. Are facelift scars always visible after healing? 7. How long is the real recovery from a facelift? 8. Do men get facelifts, or is it only a women's procedure? 9. How long do facelift results last? 10. Can any non-surgical treatment replace a facelift for skin laxity? About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran.

   Facelift Series #11: Fat Facts w/ Dr. Jason Bloom

   The layer just beneath the skin does more to shape a youthful face than most people expect. Dr. Lawrence Bass and Dr. Jason Bloom explain where facial volume actually comes from and the areas fat commonly gets added: cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, temples, the jawline, and the tear trough under the eyes. Volume loss, not just loose skin, reshapes a face over time. Harvesting and processing get equal attention: gentler cannulas, tumescent fluid, and a closed membrane system that purifies fat to roughly 97% while keeping its growth factors and stem cells intact. Dr. Bloom explains why sizing fat particles between 700 and 1500 microns prevents lumps, especially around the eyes. They cover the real risks, with vascular occlusion and vision loss chief among them, and why taking fat out of the neck can sometimes make it look worse, depending on whether the fullness sits above or below the platysma muscle. Their shared takeaway: survival, not volume, decides the outcome. Even a well-processed graft only takes about 50 to 70%, so planning for that loss is what makes results look natural months later. About Dr. Jason Bloom Dr. Jason Bloom is a facial plastic surgeon in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and co-director of the Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. He speaks nationally and internationally on fat grafting and processing techniques, and roughly 80% of his facial rejuvenation surgeries pair periocular surgery with fat grafting.
