Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Class

Dr. Bass introduces the idea of a "beauty thermostat"—your personal comfort level with change. Some people have a high-sensitivity thermostat, noticing every small shift and wanting to act quickly. Others have a low-sensitivity one, waiting until changes are much more visible before taking action. Neither approach is wrong. It's about self-awareness and balance. Those who act early may need smaller tweaks but risk over-focusing, while those who wait may face bigger fixes later. Dr. Bass reminds us that perfection isn't the goal; most people see the whole picture, not every detail. If you see the issue, your surgeon agrees, and there's a reliable fix, go for it. If not, it's okay to pause. The sweet spot lies in the middle: caring about your appearance without letting it control you.

Dr. Lawrence Bass honors the late Dr. Sam Hamra, a true pioneer in facelift surgery whose innovations forever changed the field. He reflects on Dr. Hamra's path from Oklahoma to NYU to Dallas, where his curiosity and analytical mind led him to challenge traditional facelift methods and develop the revolutionary deep plane and composite techniques. Dr. Hamra's work went beyond aesthetics. It was about anatomy, precision, and integrity. He questioned norms, refined his own methods, and inspired a generation of surgeons to think deeper, not just cut tighter. Dr. Bass shares how Dr. Hamra's blend of intellect, artistry, and openness to critique set a gold standard that still shapes modern facial surgery. The episode feels like both a masterclass in facelift evolution and a heartfelt salute to a legend whose influence endures in every thoughtful lift today.

A facelift may be the star of the show, but it's rarely a solo act. Dr. Lawrence Bass and Dr. Kylie Edinger break down the "facelift friends" — the add-on procedures and treatments that enhance results, restore balance, and address areas the lift alone can't fix.  The key is harmony. A lifted mid and lower face can still look "off" if the eyes, brows, skin, or lips tell a different age story.  By tailoring combinations of surgical and non-surgical treatments to your needs, you can walk away with results that look complete, natural, and last longer without having to come back months later for the "next worst thing."

Your "beauty lens" is the way you focus on the features that truly matter to you—not your surgeon, not your friends, not Instagram. Dr. Bass explains why zeroing in on the concerns that consistently bother you (the ones you notice in the mirror every day, not just in a random selfie) leads to better results and greater satisfaction. He shares how to use your surgeon as a reality check, when to tackle one area versus a full makeover, and why outside opinions should be weighed, but never control your decisions. It's all about channeling your attention toward meaningful changes that make you feel confident, with treatments that deliver real, lasting impact. About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

Worried about getting a facelift? You're not alone. From anesthesia and recovery time to scars and "looking like someone else," facelift fears are common, but often based more in myth than reality. Drs. Bass and Edinger break down the most frequent concerns, from medical risks to appearance anxiety, and explain how modern techniques and thoughtful planning keep you safe, natural-looking, and in control of your results. Because when it comes to facial rejuvenation, fear shouldn't be the thing holding you back.

More people are heading out of town or out of the country for plastic surgery, hoping to save money or access treatments not available locally. But travel comes with trade-offs. Dr. Bass explains why safety, standards, and follow-up care matter just as much as cost. From anesthesia risks to limited legal protections, there's a lot to consider before choosing surgery abroad.

When we're young, our faces have a smooth, full look thanks to well-defined fat pads and tight connective tissue. But as we age, those structures start to change, leading to sags, bags and changes in facial shape. Facial aging doesn't happen all at once. It's a gradual process that starts as early as your 20s. At first, the face can look more sculpted and angular, but over time, fat volume loss,  drooping, and eventually muscle and bone changes become more noticeable. Restoring a youthful look often means going beyond just the skin. It takes a thoughtful approach that can include restoring lost volume, repositioning fat and connective tissue, and tightening the skin. Drs. Bass and Edinger break down how facial aging really works, from the inside out, and why understanding these changes is key to treating them effectively.

Your beauty plan should be tailored to you—your goals, your timeline, and what you're comfortable with when it comes to recovery and results.  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 long-term transformation, having a clear plan helps you prioritize, budget, and coordinate treatments more effectively. Dr. Bass breaks it down into three types of beauty plans: one that focuses on a single area, one for short-term maintenance, and one that takes a long view over several years. Your plastic surgeon is key in guiding you through the process and making sure your plan fits your life and goals. About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran.

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 aesthetic providers need to understand those differences to deliver truly personalized care.  From the evolutionary roots of attraction to real-world examples of how cultural preferences impact aesthetic choices, get a fascinating look into the intersection of beauty, identity, and modern medicine.  About Dr. Steven Dayan Dr. Steven Dayan is a renowned facial plastic surgeon, author, and entrepreneur.

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 have. This technique can also reduce the risk of that frustrating post-lipo "rebound fat," where your body tries to make up for what was lost by storing fat in all the wrong places. Hear why fat transfer to the breasts doesn't always go as planned, and why fat tends to "stick" better in some areas than others. Drs. Bass and Steinbrech also discuss how body banking may help prevent visceral fat buildup and related health problems, the role age plays in fat graft success, and options for people who don't have much fat to begin with but still want a sculpted, athletic look. About Dr. Douglas Steinbrech Dr. Douglas Steinbrech specializes in minimally invasive aesthetics, blending this approach into both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Named one of America's Top Plastic Surgeons by the Consumers' Research Council of America, he's known as the go-to surgeon for men. Using advanced techniques tailored to the male body, a large portion of Dr. Steinbrech's practice is dedicated to enhancing natural masculine features.

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 described online and how surgeons talk about them. The doctors break down that language gap so you know what those buzzwords actually mean. Bottom line: A facelift is the gold standard for sagging skin, but knowing its limits is key to getting natural-looking results. Find out who's a good candidate for a facelift, how long the results typically last, and whether combining it with other procedures might give you the outcome you're really looking for.

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. Dr. Bass explains his concept of "boring beauty"—why slow, thoughtful decision-making leads to the best results. Rushing into procedures may feel exciting, but taking your time ensures you make the right choices. Of course, achieving your beauty goals should be fun and fulfilling, but on the execution side, a steady, careful approach by your plastic surgeon is key to success.

In preparation for bathing suit season, we present a discussion of the current status of hair removal treatments.  Traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, sugaring, and threading work temporarily, but medical-grade, in-office treatments are more powerful. Electrolysis is the gold standard—it uses a tiny needle and an electric current to kill the hair follicle. It's great for small areas, but not practical for large ones. Vaniqa (ethornithine) was a prescription cream that slows hair growth, and lasers can zap hair for long-term reduction. We can treat all skin types with lasers, but darker skin requires special settings to keep it safe and effective. Find out: The hair growth cycle, from anagen (active) to telogen (resting) phases Does shaving really make hair grow back thicker? How hair and skin color affect laser results How we protect the skin while targeting melanin in the hair If your hair is too light, can you just dye it before lasers?

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 past. There's a lot of debate around facelifts, so in this series, Dr. Bass—along with Dr. Kylie Edinger in most episodes—dives into the latest research, personal insights, and what's actually happening in modern facelift surgery.

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 might need now, and how things evolve all play a role in making sure your results are precise and natural. Dr. Bass explains what to look for in a plastic surgeon to get the best results and why building a long-term relationship with the right expert can make all the difference in achieving beautifully nuanced outcomes.

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 coming up and want to refine your appearance, planning ahead for recovery is key. Make room in your life to prioritize your aesthetic goals. If it's something you're going to do eventually, why not do it now and enjoy the results longer? Dr. Bass covers: Different types of recovery, from resting at home to stepping back from social activities while you heal How recovery time and experiences vary depending on the procedure and your unique journey The typical recovery timelines for popular treatments, from surgeries like face lifts and tummy tucks to nonsurgical options like injectables and energy-based treatments About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

While men may not call it "beauty," they're still focused on their appearance and the image they project. Many want to recapture how they looked when they had more time for the gym or before genetics started making changes. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, a specialist in male plastic surgery, joins Dr. Bass to discuss what procedures men want most, how their approach to plastic surgery differs from women's, and why techniques must be tailored to male anatomy. Dr. Steinbrech's game-changing body banking technique uses your own fat, removing it from unwanted areas and adding it to areas that need volume. Unlike traditional lipo, body banking avoids visceral fat buildup and doesn't require extreme diet changes to maintain results.
