Weight Loss & Loose Skin: What Happens Next?

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis tackles one of the most common concerns tied to rapid, GLP-1–assisted weight loss: unexpected loose skin in areas patients never anticipated—from the arms and abdomen to even the genital region.

Dr. Davis explains why fast weight loss paired with muscle loss leads to laxity, and why protein intake, strength training, and monitored weight-loss pacing are essential for maintaining skin quality.

He walks listeners through today’s most effective solutions, including:

• When to consider arm lifts, tummy tucks, or body lifts

• How technologies like Renuvion (J-Plasma), radiofrequency tightening, and ultrasonic liposuction can improve results

• Mini-surgical options for patients with moderate excess skin

• Why being proactive with RF treatments during weight loss can minimize loose skin later

• How maintaining muscle mass and proper nutrition influences outcomes

Whether you’re using GLP-1 medications, losing weight on your own, or supporting a patient through the process, this episode highlights the safest, most strategic ways to manage loose skin—and when to consider surgical vs. non-surgical solutions.

Beyond the Hype: Choosing the Right Facelift for Your Face

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis breaks down one of today’s hottest topics in aesthetic surgery—the Deep Plane facelift—and explains why it’s not the only option for restoring a youthful appearance.

With everyone online buzzing about Deep Plane procedures, it’s easy to assume it’s the universal “gold standard.” But Dr. Davis shares why the best facelift is always the one tailored to your anatomy, history, lifestyle, and goals—not the one trending on social media.

He explores:

• Why Deep Plane facelifts are popular—and where they fit

• How previous procedures (from traditional facelifts to the old Lifestyle Lift) influence what’s possible now

• When a “tweak” or secondary lift may be all you need

• How weight loss medications and dramatic changes in facial volume are leading more young patients to need skin-tightening surgeries

• The importance of a personalized consultation—especially with major variability in age, health, weight changes, and skin quality

Dr. Davis emphasizes that no single technique is right for everyone. Whether you’ve had surgery years ago or are facing new skin laxity from weight loss, today’s facelift options are more customizable than ever.

As the holiday season approaches, it may be the perfect time to explore what’s truly best for your face—not the Internet’s favorite.

Why the Future of Plastic Surgery Is All About Mixing and Matching

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis explores one of the most exciting shifts happening in modern aesthetics — the fusion of surgical expertise with advanced technology.

Gone are the days of choosing between a “surgery” or a “non-surgical” treatment. Today, leading plastic surgeons are combining procedures in new, innovative ways to deliver next-level results with the same — or even less — downtime.

Dr. Davis shares real examples from his operating room, including patients who combine blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) with Renuvion® skin tightening and micro-liposuction, achieving dramatic yet natural rejuvenation in a single session. He also discusses how regenerative science — like stem cells, exosomes, and growth factors — is transforming recovery and long-term results.

From facial rejuvenation to hair restoration, Dr. Davis explains how this integrated approach helps patients heal faster, look better, and enjoy results that last longer — all while maximizing the power of their own biology.

How Fillers and Facelifts Work Together in Modern Facial Rejuvenation

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis explores how modern filler techniques and facelift surgery have evolved to complement — not compete with — each other.

He addresses a common misconception that previous filler use might make future facelift procedures more difficult. Dr. Davis breaks down how the placement and depth of injectables truly matter, explaining that intradermal hyaluronic acid fillers, when done correctly, are entirely safe and even beneficial for skin quality.

Using his trademark clarity and passion for teaching, Dr. Davis walks listeners through the anatomy of the skin — from the epidermis to the deeper layers beneath — to show how different treatments work on different levels. He describes how fillers “paint within the skin,” helping restore structure and vitality to the dermis, while facelift surgery works below that layer to reposition and tighten the underlying tissue.

The result? A new understanding of how nonsurgical and surgical treatments can work in harmony to create natural, lasting rejuvenation.

Facelift vs. Fillers: What You Need to Know Before Choosing

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis takes on one of the most common—and often misunderstood—questions in aesthetic medicine: Should I get fillers or a facelift?

Drawing on his in-office consultations and surgical experience, Dr. Davis explains the true relationship between these two approaches and why the decision isn’t as simple as “one or the other.” He addresses the growing concern that previous filler treatments or non-surgical skin tightening procedures might make a future facelift more difficult.

Dr. Davis clarifies that while certain treatments—such as radiofrequency tightening, Kybella, or Sculptra—can create denser collagen and mild scarring that make surgical dissection more technical, intradermal hyaluronic acid fillers (the most common type) are entirely safe and compatible with future surgery.

He walks listeners through the anatomy of the skin, from the outer epidermis to the structural dermis below, using vivid imagery to explain how healthy collagen gives the skin that plump, youthful “baby cheek” look. According to Dr. Davis, placing filler within the dermis helps rebuild that structure—essentially “painting within the skin” to smooth fine lines, lift corners of the mouth, and restore a soft, natural texture.

Ultimately, Dr. Davis emphasizes that a facelift and fillers serve different but complementary purposes. A facelift repositions and tightens deeper tissues, while fillers rejuvenate the skin itself. Together, they can produce more balanced, elegant results when used strategically.

Before deciding on any treatment, Dr. Davis encourages patients to have a thoughtful consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands both the artistry and science behind these options.

Fillers, Facts, and Fresh Alternatives: What You Need to Know

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis unpacks the latest research and patient concerns surrounding facial fillers. From internet rumors to real anatomical discoveries—like the transverse facial septum—Dr. Davis explains why overfilled, “puffy” looks happen and how advanced techniques can help avoid them.

You’ll also hear about today’s expanding menu of non-surgical options, from PRP and exosomes to biostimulators and radiofrequency treatments, and why blending modalities often leads to the most natural results. Dr. Davis emphasizes the importance of choosing providers who understand anatomy, use the right products in the right places, and create treatment plans tailored to your goals.

If you’ve ever worried about looking “overdone” with fillers, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a glimpse into the future of natural-looking rejuvenation.

The Secret to Healing: How Collagen Shapes Your Surgical Results

How your body heals after plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments may be the most important factor in achieving beautiful, lasting results. In this solo episode, Dr. Steven Davis takes listeners behind the scenes to explain why healing is more than just the incision closing—it’s about how your body generates collagen and rebuilds tissue from the inside out.

Drawing from recent conversations with patients recovering from lasers, breast lifts, tummy tucks, and more, Dr. Davis breaks down the science of purposeful “damage” (like resurfacing or microneedling) and how your body repairs itself by producing collagen. He also shares why garments and support bras are so critical in the early months after surgery, and why even if you “feel healed,” your body may still be working hard beneath the surface.

You’ll learn:

• Why collagen production is the key to smooth, long-term healing

• How nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle choices influence your recovery

• The difference between taking collagen and stimulating collagen where it’s needed

• Why smoking and poor habits can slow recovery and affect scar quality

• The importance of patience, support garments, and consistency during the healing process
