Plastic surgeon reveals damage from popular cosmetic procedures | Dr Truesdale

[@Ninapia347]

I heard one dermatologist on KZbin say forget about the wrinkles. Strive to get an even skin tone. Try to eliminate hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, and other skin discolorations. We’re all going to get wrinkles and many of us don’t have $50,000 to undergo plastic surgery.

[@omomo202]

I’m not an expert, but I agree! I work at a restaurant and from what I’ve seen, it’s not the wrinkles but the skin TONE that makes someone look better than their age! At least that’s what I’ve noticed over the years…

[@KK20003]

Shereene Idriss is absolutely correct about the skin tone thing. 100% agreed.

[@JulieB1387]

That is what my dermatologist and plastic surgeon both said. The plastic surgeon told me to stand 5 ft from the mirror to look at myself, not up close like we all do while we are putting on makeup because 5 ft away is how others see you. When you look up close you obsess over every small thing that look huge up close.

[@kittenlittle2009]

A surgeon who is humble and honest. I really like him and would definitely seek him out for any treatment in the future.

[@gaylejideofor6198]

Smart concern about fillers and lymphatics. people are injecting fillers everywhere now, so now it is an increased rise in problems. also people using filler on jaw or near lymphatic areas like neck, center and high axillary regions of breast. I would like to know what the DR thinks about women getting fat injected into breasts instead of implants. This is such a terribly bad idea and yet people have been doing this for 10+ years. As a mammographer I highy recommend leaving fat injections ( and if possible implants) out of your breasts.

[@jennoryan6838]

I get what you’re saying regarding mammograms, but fat transfer is a great option and there are other imaging options for those after fat transfer. For women that have cancer, deformities, or other issues, this is still a great option

Dr. Truesdale is the most relatable surgeon I've met, and he has incredible bedside manner. In just 4 weeks from now, Truesdale is working on my face, deep plane- neck/face & brow lift, fat transfer, CO2 peel, lips, the works. I'm definitely nervous, but I know he's going to perform a miracle on me. I trust him completely.

[@thehonestchannel]

Oh wow. I would love to see your results. Hope the surgery is a great success!

[@Lucretciela]

@@thehonestchannel Thank you, I, too hope it's a success! Well you may see my results because I'm actually going to be on Dr Truesdale's show. I don't know which episode it will be, but my surgery is Aug 22nd, so the episode may possibly be up... I'd say... approximately a month or so after my surgery (?), when swelling has gone down, and I'm healed, for the most part. So keep an eye out for the fair skinned woman with dark hair, and a long neck (which he'll be fixing). I'll be the one talking about how I lost a good amount of weight in a rather shot period of time by trail running up Griffith Park, and how it really did a number on my face, hence why I'm getting the work done. Hope you watch the show!

Very good interview. good questions. Thanks a million Claire. Was a photographer and many friends faces have distorted with filler, that I wouldn't be interested to photograph them. I had one energy treatment Ulthera I think it was, it melted fat. Never again. I don't even use retinol anymore it thinned my skin using it longterm, and made wrinkles stand out. Glycolic acid works better, facial massage and red light therapy. I use ZIIP but still sceptical about it's effectiveness, maybe temporarily. Only natural ways for me now, I'm not game to risk anything. Seawater is a great environment for the skin, that's my future plan!

Absolutely great interview! The scares caused by radiesse was an eye opening too. - Does NIRA laser count as "energy treatment"? - Would it be possible to know more about technique that Dr. Truesdale is using so that we know what to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon (for those who will decide to take this step but can afford only local surgeons)? Basically to educate ourselves using the best examples. He mentioned that he is combining different treatments (ie: fat transfer) with the facelift. But there are different techniques for fat transfers and face lifts too. - I love your white blouse that you are wearing at the end of this video. It suits you very well - very fresh and young look. Could you please share name of the brand? - Your videos are helping me so much to age as well as I can.

The middle class is hollowed out. The poor have fallen through the cracks to despair. The GOP trickle down economics only trickled up. We are no longer building homes, except for the wealthy, because that is the profit center. So these are the elites trying to lay the blame on the political party that fights for the average citizen.

I actually avoid a lot of energy treatments for exactly this reason, but I was confused as to whether these treatments inflict damage under the skin and that's just inherently bad, or these treatments inflict damage under the skin and that makes it harder to get a facelift later on. I'm not sure any of us "want" damage regardless, but some might not care if it produces results and they have no intention of getting a facelift.

[@thehonestchannel]

It’s a good question. He was definitely making the point that it makes skin harder to work with in plastic surgery, but also said it’s what delivers the tightening result for those treatments. Hard to know if there is a further downside without clinical trials. What I do find interesting/concerning is that when these energy treatments are being promoted they talk about skin tightening and collagen production but they don’t make clear that it will create lasting scar tissue.

I wonder about Tixel...do you think it can cause long term damage?

[@Phoenixtwinflame363]

Hi. Another great video, so informative. And I've followed Dr Truesdale for a while. I just wish you could have addressed more on "what to do" if you used things that have damaging affects. Like Ultherapy. I already knew that my crepe neck skin was due to the 3 Ultherapy treatments I've had done. But unfortunately didn't find out till yrs ltr that it melted my fat in my neck, leaving it loose ( I've always been 112 my whole life since high school...not fat ever). But besides a neck lift I guess there's not a lot of help. I'm even afraid of other heating devices, like rf frequency or even red light therapy because even though it's "supposed to" injure thereby stimulating collagen, it too can potentially melt fat and skin cells. We just don't know for sure until it's sometimes too late down the road. Also, I wish he would have addressed what to do if lymph nodes are blocked from fat transfer (had that done too in cheeks, worse mistake evvveerr) or too much fillers. I guess just lymphatic drainage face massage? And, i've known for a long time that retinols are not actually good for your skin. That's why you see young skin and it looks almost translucent and glows but older skin on retinol makes it look flat, not vibrant...almost like burn victim skin.

[@thehonestchannel]

Thanks so much for watching and I'm really sorry to hear about your difficult experience. I took a look on the channel recently about what can realistically help loose skin around the neck. Not sure if you spotted it so I'll link it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/infJm5l3gJaGfJYsi=vNCzuSYtRKY0wjMG Plastic surgeons would usually recommend a neck lift if there is significant laxity there. You can have HA filler dissolved if an area is overfilled. For fat transfer overfilling he mentioned liposuction but only by a skilled surgeon.

[@Grushenke89]

He is very nice. I do think he isn't going to strongly recommend alternative treatments when he thinks everyone should get " a lift" at some point. I am 53. The biggest jump in anti-aging I got was from filler I got at age 51, some in my cheeks and some in my jowl area. Initially I was over plumped looking but it settled down within 6 months and it took years off my appearance. Haven't gotten any more since then. Also I used botox for years- just recently took a year off but will probably get some baby botox again soon here.

[@peacelove7437]

Same here. I used fillers on my cheeks at 46, I’m 49, it might be still there. I’m Asian so it’s hard to tell. I had my lips filled, after I had a lip lift, I don’t need to fill my lips anymore. I used .3 ml on my under eyes a month ago. and marionette lines 4 years ago. Will never do my jaw because I have a face shape like Zoey Kravitz, I actually used botox on my masseter muscles for I grind my teeth. It’s like a square but very shape because my chin is a shaped. I had a PET LIFT in Miami, pull your face up, should last 3 years. And I’ve done threads which I hate because they don’t last. Now, I only do botox on forehead, crows feet and under eyes.

[@rebella5769]

Thank you so much, That was Amazing and so educational. There was something you said that really caught my attention. I've been using Tretoin for about 4 years but, I have been considering other modalities. So when you mentioned there could be real problems with the continued use of prescription retinol, I felt this was just in time for me. The Doctor didn't have too much to say about it. I don't know how I missed that gut health and skin episode. I try never to miss any of your videos. Can you share what you are doing about the retinol dilemma?

[@thehonestchannel]

So glad you enjoyed the interview. I stopped using tretinoin about 18 months ago - not because I think there's anything terribly wrong with it, in fact I think it can work wonders in many circumstances, but I do question whether it's a great idea to use it daily for decades. I don't know the answer yet, so I always ask doctors for their opinion. I think personally, a good compromise for long-term use is just to use it two to three times a week which is what I do. I've switched to a high strength retinal which is less harsh on my skin but I think still gives really good results.

@@AhFeiLee It was just the idea that I was applying energy to my skin and potentially the fat containing sub layer in a way that has, in my opinion, not been adequately explained from a scientific standpoint. Actually, it hasn’t been explained at all that I can find. Unlike red light therapy, which has a lot of scientific data from many studies, I haven’t seen anything about the short or long term effects of repeatedly applying the two types of energy supplied by the Ziip to our face. The founder looks fine but I didn’t think her “results” tell us anything about its aesthetic benefits. She looks her age (not a problem!) and is overall slender but her facial thinness makes facial fat loss a question. Plus I kept waiting for it to zap me if I lingered too long in one spot or didn’t have enough gel in one area. The potential for it making my face muscles contract was too much like a TENS unit. I used it for a while in the beginning but never see any results other than a temporary flushing. It wasn’t worth the unknowns for me.

What about micro needling? Does it damage?

[@conspiracybeliever1749]

I had microneedlong done on the bridge of my nose for a horizontal wrinkle. It did absolutely nothing, total waste of time and money. Now they are recommending botox, which I will not do.

Another great video. Love all your content and you are absolutely stunning.

[@thehonestchannel]

Thank you!

[@oceans.and.deserts]

It's curious that he spent part of his residency in Ghana and then became a plastic surgeon in one of the most exclusive zip codes in the US. Ghanaians don't spend their lives past a certain age, if they even reach it, being obsessed with looking young forever. That speaks volumes about the so-called modern world to me and our priorities. I hope to not fall into this hamster wheel so many other women my age are on, but societal pressure is a constant.

Plasma fibroblasting is going to wipe out plastic surgery. At home devices especially

[@peacelove7437]

Nah. Never gonna lift like a face lift. Our bones and muscles are sagging along with the skin. You need to go under to lift.

[@AMN-du2gz]

Could you please talk about Endolift laser for face lift? Does it cause fibrosis, fat loss, any other side effects. Cause it seems promising.

[@thehonestchannel]

I've taken note. Thanks.

How does he feel about Sculptra! I’m afraid now😢

[@thehonestchannel]

I can't speak for Dr Truesdale to give you an answer I'm afraid, but the golden rule is to find a highly experienced practitioner who you trust and speak to them about your concerns.

[@debbiemarlow4027]

Scary stuff

[@mumshorts]

I do threads and love them! But i dont plan to do facelift

[@AhFeiLee]

Does it hurt to do that? What is the downtime ? How long do they last.... Like to know more cuz thinking of trying it in the future

[@mumshorts]

@AhFeiLee I've got a strong pain tolerance for me smooth threads hurt more, about a 5 out of 10. The downtime is nothing unless you hit a vein and if you do it's just bruising for a week or so. Pdo last about 6 months and pla last about a year.

[@AhFeiLee]

@@mumshorts Thanks for getting back to me on this.

[@peacelove7437]

They don’t last. Hate them. Research PET LIFT. I had that done and it’s a better result in terms of lifting.

[@mumshorts]

@peacelove7437 it depends how old you are.. for me I'm 33 so it's OK but for someone in there 40s or 50s probably not good

[@veredk4384]

I love your channel Clair and you did a great job trying to get spesifics but unfortunately, I guess because there might not be any magic bullets, the interview is a bit "vanilla"...doc seems like a nice person, wish you both luck! 💕

Funnily enough this is one of the interviews I’ve most enjoyed doing and felt I got so much from. Not everything lands with everyone though and I understand that. ❤️

Great video thank you

[@Marva-v8n]

It’s not about the intervention, it’s about the perspective. 👍

[@Corrans]

Does IPL cause heat damage? And wow, never heard that caution about Tretinoin! But yes, I have felt that drying effect! Wow!

[@thehonestchannel]

IPL works more superficially so has not been associated with the type of damage described from the more powerful energy devices.

[@Corrans]

@thehonestchannel Oh thank goodness.😅

[@abigailt9197]

Does he mean that at-home radio frequency devices can cause the same amount of damage to the skin as energy treatments at an aesthetician?

Thank you so much Jo in beautiful Arizona! I actually bought the green blouse on sale when I was in LA. It’s Zadig & Voltaire and I always love a bargain if they have a sale on. They do these blouses in a range of colors and I love them. The white short sleeve blouse at the end is by Frame but is not current season.

Have you done a video on Tixel thermo mechanical procedure?

[@thehonestchannel]

Hi. I’ve done a couple on Tixel, including this one with my results Tixel skin resurfacing treatment results. Did it work? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoi5qoptfZisfa8 It definitely helps lift hooded eyelids but not close to surgical results in my experience

What a wonderful black man, sharing his methodology and knowledge is so amazing. Strange kind of technical questioning interview. Hmm . Hope there is no hater out there trying to undermine his great work! Just saying. You know how it goes.

[@thehonestchannel]

I have nothing but respect for this doctor which is why I traveled thousands of miles to put my detailed questions to him. All my interviews are the same. I don’t do superficial.

[@maureengreen617]

Interesting comment, “what a wonderful, ‘black’ man”, versus what a wonderful man.

[@CG-pj6cj]

He said that if you take fat from i.e. the belly to transfer to the face, and if that person has a tendency to gain fat in the belly, the face fat will then grow if they gain weight. What??

[@thehonestchannel]

That's right. Interviewed a NY-based plastic surgeon who said the same thing in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6DWZYt4gLaSeqM

I’d feel comfortable as my surgeon as a brown person.👍🏼

[@AbstractMindsThinkAlike]

What about C02 lasers? Do those cause heat damage?

[@thehonestchannel]

Lasers target the more superficial layers of the skin so aren’t typically associated with the kind of damage discussed here.

[@catherinedavid2722]

Ulthera is so bad and he is not the only one to say that

[@kirsten5685]

Claire, I had two ultherapy sessions last year and now I am worried that my skin had been damaged. Would Adipeau help actually putting some fat back (my face does not look damaged but there is definitely quite some loss of collagen).

[@thehonestchannel]

I did think the Adipeau cream helped replace a little volume in my cheeks which I lost after my Ultherapy treatment. It has its skeptics but I’ve had so many viewers say it helped them that there is definitely something to it. I also think it works best on people who have experienced sudden fat loss due to energy treatments or diet - that’s based on the feedback. Take a before picture to check progress.

[@kirsten5685]
