This growing interest has been driven by a series of groundbreaking discoveries and significant advancements in stem cell research. In the context of breast implants and breast implant illness, stem cells offer promising solutions for tissue regeneration and recovery, providing new hope for those seeking alternative treatments.\n\nWhether you're curious about the science behind stem cells or considering a procedure involving fat transfer, this episode is packed with valuable insights to guide you on your journey to better health and wellness. Let’s explore more about how stem cells are transforming the medical field, providing new avenues for treatment and recovery. We'll dive into valuable insights and the latest advancements, helping you understand the incredible potential of stem cells and their benefits.\n\nFat transfer surgery for breast augmentation and reconstruction\n\nI’ve recently attended several notable conferences where I gained valuable insights and innovations that I’m eager to integrate into our clinic. Some of these advancements include the incorporation of more lymphatic massage techniques, the introduction of NanoVi technology to improve protein folding and recovery, and the use of H-Wave therapy to further enhance lymphatic drainage and aid in patient recovery.\n\nFor today, however, let’s focus on fat transfers. Drawing from my extensive experience with fat transfers, a technique I’ve refined over many years, I explain that fat transfers are effective because they use the patient’s own tissue, making them autologous and thus free from the risks associated with donor tissues, such as genetic mismatches. \n\nFat transfers are versatile, as adipose-derived stem cells can differentiate into fat cells, bone cells, or cartilage, providing a range of benefits. My initial interest in this technique stemmed from a personal desire to regenerate cartilage in my knees after multiple surgeries, leading to a deep understanding of the procedure’s potential.\n\nWith extensive experience in sarcoma reconstruction, I can confidently say that fat transfers are safe when performed correctly. It's essential not to transfer fat to areas with existing tumors or sarcomas, as these mesenchymal regions could complicate the procedure.\n\nFor breast augmentation and reconstruction, fat transfers have been effective for many years, and I have conducted numerous procedures since 2005. Successful outcomes depend on transferring a mixture of adipocytes, vascular cells, and adipose-derived stem cells. This technique requires precise placement of fat in specific areas to avoid complications and ensure proper integration with the surrounding tissue.\n\nThere were early safety concerns regarding fat transfers for cosmetic purposes, such as buttock augmentation, due to technical issues when the procedure first gained popularity in South America and Miami. However, with advancements in techniques and improved safety measures, fat transfers for both buttock and breast augmentation have become reliable and effective procedures.\n\nFat transfer for breast implant illness, including stem cells and healing\n\nWhen the skin gets really tense, you'll notice a condition called \"peau d'orange,\" where the surface of the skin starts to look like the surface of an orange. This indicates too much pressure and that expansion should stop. Unlike implants, which can hold their shape and maintain more volume, fat cannot be continuously added. The amount of fat that can be added depends on the initial condition of the skin. For younger clients with tight skin, multiple sessions may be needed to gradually increase volume.\n\nIn cases where I remove implants that have been in place for a long time, often after weight changes, pregnancies, or breastfeeding, the skin is usually stretched out. After removing the implant with its capsular material intact, I don't fill the old implant pocket and instead, place the fat beneath the skin, where it belongs, and let it heal.\n\nAdipose-derived stem cells in the fat offer numerous benefits, aiding in wound rejuvenation and healing. They can help turn genes on, produce exosomes, modulate immune responses, and improve mitochondrial function. This is why fat transfers are more than just about the fat itself – they bring substantial healing properties.\n\nTo maintain the results over time, factors like diet, detoxification ability, and gut health are crucial.

Oral health isn't just about having a nice smile; it's essential for our overall health, impacting different areas of our well-being. Similarly, when considering breast implants, it's crucial to recognize that their impact extends beyond cosmetic enhancement, potentially affecting overall health. Understanding the interplay between oral health and systemic health is vital for making informed decisions about medical interventions and ensuring holistic well-being.
\n\nEmbark on a journey through the world of holistic health and dental care with insights from Dr. Kelly Blodgett – a biologic dentist from Portland, Oregon. In today’s episode, we discuss the intricate connection between oral and overall health, the impact of environmental factors, and the importance of informed decision-making for optimal well-being.
\n\nI deeply resonate with the principles Dr. Blodgett upholds, especially regarding oral health practices, particularly in patients with conditions like breast implant illness. Many patients are on a journey to rid their bodies of foreign substances that could potentially trigger inflammation, and biologic dentistry offers valuable insights and techniques to support them along this path.
\n\nWhile it's widely acknowledged in both the dental and medical communities that gum disease is a significant issue, the attention it receives sometimes overshadows other potential sources of inflammation. Dr. Blodgett has observed the risk associated with root canals. The process of performing a root canal effectively creates a dead organ within the body by removing the tooth's blood supply. What's concerning is that the porous nature of the dentin surface allows microbes to infiltrate and thrive within these teeth, essentially turning them into chronic sources of toxicity. Over the years, Dr. Blodgett has seen remarkable improvements in patients' overall health following the removal of these dead teeth.
\n\nWe've integrated PCR testing of scar capsules into our practice which examines DNA fragments and this approach has yielded great results. Dr. Blodgett highlights the significance of understanding biofilm formation, particularly concerning teeth that no longer have a blood supply due to procedures like root canals. In an upcoming series based on 900 consecutive samples, we found that approximately 30 to 34% exhibited biofilm colonization, consisting of various microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and mycobacteria.
\n\nThis microbial presence within the roots suggests a significant deviation from what's considered normal. Despite efforts to ensure quality testing by sending samples to a research-based laboratory specializing in PCR testing, there remain limitations in detecting microscopic processes through macroscopic examinations like CT scans, MRIs, or regular X-rays.
\n\nFurthermore, Dr. Blodgett emphasizes the interconnectedness of oral health with overall well-being, noting how disruptions in the oral microbiome can contribute to various systemic problems. Issues such as poor digestion, irregular bowel movements, and compromised nutrient absorption can stem from an imbalanced microbiome, impacting the body's ability to heal and function optimally.
\n\nMaintaining normal digestive processes is crucial for overall health, as it impacts our gut microbiome and downstream health outcomes. The intricate relationship between oral health and the gut microbiome is fascinating insofar as oral health isn't just about aesthetics or chewing food; it's integral to proper digestion and nutrient absorption. For instance, missing teeth can hinder the chewing process, affecting how well we break down food and utilize nutrients.
\nManaging the oral microbiome thus involves navigating various factors that can impact it. Common practices, like consuming acidic beverages or having multiple metal fillings, can disrupt the delicate balance of the mouth's ecology. It is therefore necessary to address these issues proactively rather than turning a blind eye.
Addressing these issues involves considering the energetic and biological implications of dental treatments and materials used, as well as acknowledging potential sensitivities individuals may have to certain substances. By adopting a more holistic approach to oral care, we can better support both oral and systemic health.
\n\nMany individuals are transitioning towards a more natural and holistic approach to well-being, especially those who have undergone procedures like breast augmentation or reconstruction and are now considering removing breast implants. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of dietary adjustments, including cutting out gluten, dairy, and processed sugars, to support overall health and well-being.
\n\nThese dietary changes are crucial as sugar, in particular, can be highly addictive and detrimental to health, impacting brain function and energy levels. That is why I always encourage clients to maintain a balanced fluid intake, neither overly acidic nor alkaline.
\n\nDuring the preparation phase, I focus on increasing protein intake while cutting out unhealthy carbohydrates and fats. Digestive enzymes are also provided to aid in protein digestion, preventing gut discomfort and fermentation. Although I don't have a specific diet regimen, I advocate for a higher protein intake tailored to individual needs, typically ranging from one and a half to two and a half grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. This adjustment may require creative solutions for those struggling to meet their protein goals, such as incorporating amino acid supplements or protein-rich smoothies.
\n\nIn terms of oral health, dietary adjustments and fluid intake can have a significant impact. For example, high-protein diets may lead to buildup on teeth surfaces, as observed during teeth cleaning sessions. While protein intake remains essential for optimal functioning, managing its effects on oral health requires attention to hygiene and possibly adjustments in dental care routines.
\n\nIn surgeries, dentists often check for dental problems. If there's an issue, like infection or inflammation, the surgery might be postponed due to the risk of bacterial spread and potential complications like endocarditis. However, the sad truth is that despite longstanding awareness of these risks, they're not always taken seriously. This shows the need for greater emphasis on oral health in overall health management.
\n\nThe standards set by organizations like the American Heart Association highlight the risks associated with microbial exposure in dental procedures. Surgeries involving heart valves, knee replacements, and hip joints pose risks because they share the same lymphatic drainage and blood supply pathways as the mouth. Despite this knowledge, the potential risks of microbial exposure from procedures like root canals are often overlooked. In fact, there are cases that show that addressing sources of toxicity, such as root canals, can lead to remarkable improvements in health, including relief from symptoms like cancer.
\n\nMoreover, while titanium implants have been hailed as effective tooth replacements, they can lead to peri-implantitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and bone loss around the implant. This inflammation can have systemic effects, particularly in individuals already prone to inflammation, such as those with breast implants or joint issues. Despite the potential risks, there's often a lack of scrutiny within the dental profession regarding the broader systemic implications of these procedures.
\n\nThe environment we live in exposes us to various toxins like phthalates from plastic water bottles, glyphosate from pesticide-laden foods, and heavy metals from contaminated groundwater. Each person's response to these exposures is unique, influenced by factors like their genetic makeup and lifestyle choices.
\n\nAs a healthcare provider, listening to patients' personal anecdotes and understanding their history and exposures can provide valuable insights into their health challenges. Through attentive listening and assessment, healthcare professionals can better support patients in navigating their health journey.
\n\nUnderstanding the impact of toxins on our health, especially considering individual genetics and vulnerabilities, is crucial. Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and exposure to harmful substances can disrupt our body's detoxification processes, particularly affecting women due to their sensitive endocrine systems.
\n\nImproving diet and lifestyle habits can have a profound impact on overall health, including oral and gut health, empowering individuals to initiate positive changes for themselves and their families. Thankfully, you can take proactive steps such as using resources like the Environmental Working Group website (https://www.ewg.org/) to make informed choices about the products they use, including dental care items.
\n\nAddressing air quality is also crucial, especially in areas prone to mold and pollution, as poor air quality can have significant health implications. While filtered water is widely recognized as essential, filtered air is often overlooked but equally important for overall well-being. Understanding and improving air quality can have a profound impact on health, particularly for those sensitive to environmental factors like pollen and pollutants.
\n\nImplementing air filtration systems in dental offices has become increasingly important, especially in light of concerns about virus and bacteria transmission. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many dental offices to invest in quality air filters to significantly improve air quality and reduce exposure to harmful aerosols, leading to positive changes in workplace safety measures.
\n\nMoreover, addressing environmental factors like water quality and avoiding potentially harmful products can contribute to overall health and well-being. Considering individuals' sensitivities and using tests like Biocompatibility to determine the least reactive dental products can help minimize adverse reactions and ensure better outcomes for patients.

The significance of maintaining a healthy diet extends beyond mere physical nourishment; it impacts every aspect of one's life, from energy levels to mood and overall quality of life. By reducing the intake of processed foods high in sugars, unhealthy fats, and additives, individuals can lower their risk of developing these health issues and improve their overall longevity.
\n\nJoin us as Nicole delves into the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and prioritizing nutritious food choices. From the meticulous sourcing of high-quality ingredients to the preparation of dishes free from harmful additives, Nicole demonstrates how The Well embodies a commitment to promoting health from the inside out with a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of food.
\n\nNicole had always been immersed in the service industry, growing up in her family's long-standing restaurant business, yet initially uncertain about making it her lifelong career. However, she found herself deeply drawn to the daily interactions, the sense of community, and the joy of being around people. It was this passion for connection that fueled her desire to create something truly unique in the dining landscape.
\n\nThe inspiration behind their restaurant concept stemmed from a simple yet profound question: Why should people have to choose between eating well and dining out? She thought it didn't make sense that eating out often meant giving up healthy options. So, they decided to create a restaurant where people could enjoy dining out without compromising on nutritious food.
\n\nCollaborating with a renowned nutrition consultant named Liv, they embarked on a journey to redefine the standards of restaurant dining. Liv's expertise guided them in curating a menu that not only prioritized nutrient density but also celebrated bold flavors and vibrant ingredients. Together, they meticulously crafted dishes that combined healthfulness with culinary excellence, setting a new benchmark for their brand.
\n\nThey also teamed up with designers to make sure the restaurant felt inviting and lively, breaking away from the typical look of health-focused places. They wanted it to be a spot where people could come for anything, whether it's grabbing a smoothie after a workout or celebrating a special occasion, and feel comfortable. Through their dedication to quality, community, and holistic well-being, they aimed to redefine the very essence of dining out, one nourishing meal at a time.
\n\nPersonally, I’ve been avoiding gluten because I’m gluten-sensitive. As for my family, it has already been almost a decade of eating gluten-free. And yet, we still struggle to find real gluten-free food amidst all the processed "gluten-free" products. Thankfully, I discovered The Well during a late meeting at another restaurant nearby. Intrigued by its promise of health-conscious dining, I quickly became a regular, even gifting my patients with cards to enjoy meals there.
\n\nThe Well’s menu philosophy was simple: stick to the basics and focus on real, whole foods. Free from gluten, dairy, soy, seed oils, GMOs, and refined sugars, their dishes were carefully crafted to prioritize quality and nutrition. Also, they prioritize sourcing their ingredients organically to ensure that their patrons are not exposed to potentially harmful pesticides. And so, they specifically avoid using non-organic versions of the produce items listed on the Dirty Dozen list as compiled by the Environmental Working Group, which identifies produce items with the highest pesticide contamination levels.
\n\nOne of the standout items for me at The Well is undoubtedly the bone broth, and it's not just because of its exceptional taste. This hearty broth has earned its place as a favorite among patrons, thanks to its unique preparation method and undeniable quality. Made from high-quality bones, carefully selected and simmered overnight, it's a labor of love that infuses every sip with rich flavor and nourishing goodness.
\n\nAccording to Nicole, they use a large emulsifier to blend the ingredients, ensuring that all the essential nutrients, including collagen, are retained. Each order is then ladled out and blended again in a Vitamix blender to achieve a smooth and frothy texture, resulting in a delicious and nourishing beverage. Whether enjoyed on its own or incorporated into other dishes, The Well's bone broth is a testament to their commitment to providing not just delicious, but also wholesome options for their guests.
\n\nMore of Nicole’s personal favorites on the menu are the roasted beet salad, salmon, and chicken bone broth. She also loves and recommends the chilaquiles, which she describes as uniquely flavorful and perfect for breakfast.
\n\nAt The Well, they're all about redefining healthy eating with flavorful and diverse options, ensuring wholesome food doesn't mean sacrificing taste. Their menu has evolved, embracing local brands like Cha Cha! Foods for tortillas and it's all good for gluten-free bread in sandwiches. One of their favorites is the chicken salad sandwich which is a lunchtime delight.
\n\nRecently, they've introduced new dishes like coconut curry squash and organic brown rice pasta, catering to families seeking both nutrition and flavor. Their focus on kid-friendly choices reflects their commitment to creating a welcoming environment for families, recognizing the importance of early exposure to savory foods over sugary items.
\n\nTheir dedication to providing nutritious options extends to their beverage offerings as well. Despite offering a full bar, they prioritize using natural sweeteners like maple syrup and local honey, ensuring that even indulgences like cocktails are made with quality, homemade ingredients. This holistic approach underscores their mission to offer delicious yet wholesome dining experiences for all their patrons.
\n\nThe atmosphere at The Well reminds me of dining in Spain, where quality ingredients, diverse menu options, and a relaxed ambiance come together seamlessly. With outdoor seating available at both locations, patrons can enjoy the pleasant Austin weather while savoring their meals. The restaurant has garnered a loyal following, with many patrons becoming regulars.
\n\nReflecting on her European heritage, particularly her family's Greek roots, Nicole sees similarities with the focus on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and simple, flavorful cooking. The goal at The Well is not to reinvent the wheel but to return to the basics of nourishing, wholesome food that promotes overall well-being. Like in European villages with abundant quality ingredients, The Well focuses on preparing dishes that optimize health without sacrificing taste.
\n\nThe commitment to sourcing high-quality ingredients and preparing food without harmful additives like seed oils and gluten resonates strongly with the community. Nicole and her husband, rooted in the local community with their two young daughters, are dedicated to providing an optimal dining experience that promotes both physical and mental well-being.
\n\nFor those looking to visit The Well, you may visit them from these locations: 2nd Street, Westlake, and Studio 3. This accessibility ensures patrons can enjoy nutritious, inflammation-friendly meals wherever they are.

Collagen supplementation has undergone significant advancements and improvements over the years. The growing popularity of collagen is attributable to a deeper understanding of its diverse benefits beyond just skin aesthetics. Furthermore, refined processing techniques have given rise to hydrolyzed collagen, which ensures efficient absorption and utilization of collagen by the body, maximizing its potential benefits.
\n\nThis episode highlights the benefits of collagen and provides a comprehensive understanding to shed light on how collagen, especially in its hydrolyzed form, can be a transformative addition to one's wellness routine.
\n\nThroughout my experiences treating complex patients, the idea of administering collagen never crossed my mind due to its substantial molecular size - scientifically measured at 300,000 Daltons. This size renders it challenging for the skin or gastrointestinal tracts to effectively absorb.
\nI frequently get asked about the benefits of taking collagen, its different types, supporting studies, duration for observable results, recommended dosages for skin health enhancement, and whether collagen can substitute a healthy diet and skincare routine. Furthermore, people seek insights into brand recommendations, potential risks associated with collagen intake, and the impact of lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking habits, and sun exposure on collagen effectiveness. These inquiries highlight the importance of taking into account various considerations, given the various factors influencing collagen absorption.
When faced with the question of collagen utilization, my immediate consideration revolves around how to introduce collagen into the system for optimal absorption effectively. In my holistic recovery program, I prioritize the use of perfect, pre-broken-down amino acids known for their easy absorption. While collagen supplementation is part of the routine, it isn't the primary focus.
\nThe most bioavailable form for the body is hydrolyzed collagen, where it's broken down into smaller peptides; more manageable chains of amino acids. Once hydrolyzed, these smaller chains of amino acids enable the body to absorb and utilize the collagen more effectively. This enhanced absorbability is a key factor in maximizing the potential benefits of collagen supplementation.
Hydrolyzed collagen is available in various forms like powder, capsules, or liquid, enhancing its usability. This variety not only accommodates individual preferences but also offers convenience in incorporating collagen supplementation into one's daily routine. The flexibility and convenience of hydrolyzed collagen make it a top choice for people who want an effective and convenient way to boost their collagen intake.
\n\nAlways remember to pair collagen intake with sufficient vitamin C. Collagen, a vital structural protein, requires vitamin C for proper formation and maintenance. That being said, the body's ability to produce and utilize collagen is compromised without an adequate supply of vitamin C.
\n\nIndividual digestive health plays a crucial role in various health concerns. Dealing extensively with patients, including those with breast implant illness and those seeking specific cosmetic outcomes, such as body contouring or facial rejuvenation, I guide them through my strategic holistic accelerated recovery program.
\nThe key is to establish a level playing field by understanding factors like genetics, toxicity, gut microbiome, food sensitivities, and hormone balance. This comprehensive approach enables me to create personalized treatment plans for concerns like facial rejuvenation, breast or body contouring, or skin tightening.
In my recovery program, I avoid making collagen a primary protein source during recovery due to its large molecular size since I personally prefer using pea protein for its simplicity and reduced sensitivity concerns. Additionally, I leverage perfect aminos and an inflammation support bundle, emphasizing liposomal formulations for enhanced absorption.
\n\nMy approach prioritizes oral solutions over capsules for better absorption. This, combined with in-office care like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, lymphatic massage, and red light therapy, contributes to a comprehensive recovery strategy. The approach aligns with my commitment to providing a holistic and efficient recovery strategy for individuals seeking optimal health and well-being.
\nWhile collagen, especially in hydrolyzed form, can be beneficial, determining the optimal dosage or duration for maximum benefits remains challenging. For skin tightening, I emphasize a multifaceted approach, incorporating mechanical injury and energy therapy, including a no-cut facelift that tightens skin and deeper tissues through innovative techniques like bipolar radiofrequency treatments with or without stem cells or exosomes.

As individuals increasingly prioritize safety, precision, and personalized care in their aesthetic journeys, microneedling remains reliable in its commitment to providing a secure and impactful path toward radiant and revitalized skin. Beyond its proven safety profile, microneedling's allure is further accentuated by its adaptability.
\n\nEmbark on an insightful journey with me in today's episode, where we delve deeper into the transformative ways through which you can redefine the aging process of your face for lasting results. This is an invitation to discover comprehensive approaches that can fundamentally change the trajectory of how your face ages over time.
\n\nA minimally invasive procedure that I find effective in changing how your face ages forever is micro-needling. It involves creating small punctures in the skin using needles, stimulating a healing response that leads to increased collagen production and overall skin improvement. I've found great satisfaction in employing microneedling for external-to-internal skin treatment.
\n\nI've integrated microneedling into various cases, addressing skin concerns across the body and achieving positive outcomes. In fact, in my practice, I specifically use bipolar microneedling with the InMode platform, originally known as Fractora.
\n\nThe InMode devices evolved to include Morpheus8 microneedling, which, when combined with FaceTite, forms a comprehensive procedure called Embrace RF. The versatility of Morpheus8 allows for depth adjustments, ranging from 1 to 4 millimeters, with newer devices even reaching up to 8 millimeters for broader applications on the body.
\n\nIn our office, we often use topical anesthetics in conjunction with specialized products to enhance the comfort of the procedure. For more intensive treatments, local anesthesia can be applied to the face, depending on the individualized treatment plan developed for each patient.
\n\nThe Smart procedures, which I’ve found to be highly effective, focus on reducing lower abdominal thickness through liposculpture, complemented by BodyTite and Morpheus8 microneedling for exceptional results. You can check the transformative outcomes without visible scarring in our before and after posted on our website gallery: https://www.drrobertwhitfield.com/
\n\nMicroneedling serves to build collagen in the skin, combined with products that stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis. Morpheus8 covers depths of one to four millimeters, while our body product extends to one to eight millimeters for deeper tissue tightening. Embrace RF, briefly mentioned, incorporates FaceTite for comprehensive treatment.
\n\nI've utilized these technologies across various areas, performing AccuTite on the face, FaceTite on the jawline and neck, and BodyTite on the arms, abdomen, flanks, and eyes. The tools vary in size based on the body part or area being treated, achieving 1 to 2-centimeter tightening. Also, the bipolar radiofrequency technology is incorporated with skin sensors in each device tip to ensure both external and internal skin protection from excessive heat.
\n\nAs someone who prioritizes safety, I’m particularly drawn to minimally invasive treatments. That’s why I've embraced a new concept called micro-coring which is an FDA-approved device that utilizes a hollowed-out microneedle with a 0.5-millimeter diameter to create a pattern akin to a laser, removing a percentage of tissue in a calculated manner. With around 26,000 cores, this tool, done under local anesthesia in-office, proves powerful, effectively addressing facial and neck concerns.
\n\nTransitioning from non-invasive to minimally invasive, I've also explored a technique called MyEllevate. This minimally invasive option, performed through small openings out of sight, tightens glandular and neck tissue while refining the jawline, providing remarkable results showcased on our website.
\n\nStay tuned for my next episode as we delve deeper into the specifics of my no-cut facelift.

Facial aging is a holistic and inevitable process influenced by numerous interconnected elements and factors. It's not merely the passage of time that dictates how our appearance changes; rather, it's the intricate interplay of many elements. It encompasses the bones, muscles, fat, and, of course, the skin.
\n\nWhile we can’t stop the time to avoid how our faces change, we can certainly influence how our faces age. In this episode, we dive deep into the interplay of genetics, skincare treatments, and lifestyle, providing a roadmap for those who seek to take charge of their aging process.
\n\nWhen it comes to the topic of changing how your face ages, there are several key factors to consider before even delving into the realm of skincare as well as aspects beyond our control. These elements are the foundation of our aging process.
\n\nIt's surprising how little attention we give to the role of bones in the aging process, but the truth is that our bones also undergo resorption, a natural thinning process. Genetics plays a significant role in determining how much resorption an individual may experience, and this can even impact their susceptibility to conditions like osteoporosis.
\n\nAnother often overlooked aspect is the role of muscle in facial aging. While it's not a frequently discussed topic, muscle changes, especially around the eyes, can play a significant role in the aging process. In some cases, muscles may have hypertrophy, which can contribute to the overall transformation of one's appearance. So, when it comes to changing how our face ages forever, it's essential to consider these factors that extend far beyond just skincare products and routines.
\n\nExpressive facial expressions also lead to more lines, muscular hypertrophy in the jaw, and the loss of specific fat compartments in the face, resulting in deflation and puffy eyes. Skin changes are thus prominent, manifesting as lines, wrinkles, folds, and sagging. In addressing these concerns, treatments like HydraFacial can temporarily enhance turgor/rigidity and fluid retention in the skin, providing a smoother and tighter appearance for special occasions.
\n\nI would like to emphasize genetics in your skincare plans, particularly concerning detox pathways, hormone metabolism, and sleep. Understanding your genetic predispositions can be a game-changer in tailoring a personalized approach to facial aging. It allows you to make more informed decisions and select treatments and products that align with your unique genetic makeup, enabling a more effective and sustainable way to alter the course of how your face ages.
\n\nI also recommend using air filters and avoiding plastic for drinking to ensure skin health and overall wellness. When it comes to diet, make sure to cut out gluten, dairy, processed foods, and unnatural sugars to enhance overall wellness before any procedure.
\n\nAdditionally, when setting up a skincare routine, ensure that the skincare products suit your specific needs, which may include ingredients for reducing pigmentation, increasing collagen production, or targeting fat reduction. By incorporating these tailored skincare products into your routine, you're not only proactively addressing the aging process but also investing in the long-term health and vibrancy of your skin.
\n\nSkin care plays a crucial role in tightening the skin and promoting collagen synthesis. Having the right cleanser and moisturizer tailored to one's skin type is essential, as is using sun protection, which are basic principles of skincare. I utilize products like elastin and my personal line of products is designed to stimulate collagen production. Daily use of these products can help improve skin tightness, so make sure to grab yours now!
\n\nThe muscular blocking agents that we use assist in reducing the appearance of fine lines. These agents are commonly applied to areas like the forehead, crow's feet, and laugh lines around the nose, as these wrinkles result from muscular contractions. There are various options for these muscular blocking agents, including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Taxify, each with unique properties and compositions.
\n\nThe next step involves volumizing agents, commonly known as fillers. I prefer using fillers once the desired level of skin tightness has been achieved. I'm cautious about over-volumizing and tend to lean toward hyaluronic acid fillers due to their reversibility. Using reversible options is essential, especially for new patients who might want a subtle change.
\n\nHyaluronic acid fillers, which have been around since 2005, not only add volume but also stimulate collagen synthesis. A newer hyaluronic acid filler on the market is Revanesse Versa, known for its unique chemical structure that allows it to stretch when the face animates, providing a natural look.
\n\nAnother option for volumization is fat, but I use it sparingly in facial treatments, as it's not reversible and is often more suitable for procedures like mid-face lifts.
\n\nIn addition to these fillers, we also utilize the patient's own stem cells for injections, contributing to age reversal.
\n\nAs for non-invasive treatments, I offer different options in my practice. One involves focused ultrasound, specifically Sofwave™, which is FDA-cleared and provides non-invasive facial contouring, even around the eyes and cheeks. We've found it effective, and it's a less invasive alternative.
\n\nAdditionally, we have a non-invasive solution called Evoke, by InMode, which can treat the cheeks, jawline, and chin. Evoke employs bipolar radiofrequency technology, and the choice between these technologies depends on patient selection and their baseline level of skin laxity. These treatments are part of the comprehensive approach I take in my practice to address various aspects of facial rejuvenation.

You’ve seen celebrities with facelifts that leave them with an odd, unnatural look–like their face has been pulled too tight. That’s because facelifts, which have been around for over 100 years, have traditionally always been the excision (cutting and removal) of tissue. For so long, excision was THE only option. With today’s advanced technologies, there is a better solution, and I’m discussing it in this episode. Join me to learn more about the no-cut facelift that has no cuts, no scars, and delivers better results and faster healing!

Candice continues through recovery, shifting her focusing to other aspects of her health such as her passion for fitness. After her failed fat transfer, she finds a new plastic surgeon to fill in misshapen areas with only small amounts of fat.
\n\nDismayed by remaining skin laxity caused by her years of unexplained illnesses and the aging process, Dr. Whitfield details his experience and recommendations for combat skin laxity and promoting collagen synthesis, including radiofrequency microneedling and ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar.

Almost right away, restless leg syndrome began keeping her awake at night. \n\nTwo years later while riding a roller coaster at her son’s birthday party, another implant ruptured and sent her back to the operating room for another double replacement. After this surgery, heart palpitations and unusual rashes appeared. Still no one considered these problems could be linked to her breast implants. \n\nIn 2011, Candice had her 4th breast surgery, swapping saline for the new silicone gel “gummy bear” implants. This was when things really took a turn for the worse. \n\nIn this first episode of our mini-series about breast implant illness with actress Candice Michele Barley, hear how after many difficult years of trying to fix her health on her own and find answers she made the decision to have her breast implants removed. \n\nLinks\n\nCandice’s IMDB page\nhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3816748/\n\nCandice on Instagram\nhttps://www.instagram.com/olisticolife/\n\nLinks and Resources:\n\nLet’s Connect...\nPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/\nFB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield\nLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/\nX: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd\nRead this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness\nShop: https://drrobssolutions.com\nSHARP: https://www.harp.health\nNVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/\n\nGet access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below:\nDanger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg\nJASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/\nEcho Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/\nBallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com\nUltrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfieldSpecial Guest: Candice Michele Barley.","content_html":"Within a few months of her first breast augmentation in 2003, Candice Michele Barley began experiencing chronic fatigue.

A 49-year-old mom from Austin needs a tummy tuck but doesn’t want scars and isn’t willing to give up tennis for more than a few days to recover. While many decide the tummy tuck recovery and scar are worth it, it’s not always necessary to have surgery to get great results.
\n\nDr. Rob takes us through his innovative Smart Tummy Tuck procedure, a layered approach combining liposuction with Evolve, BodyTite, Fractora, Morpheus8 to flatten and smooth out the abdomen in the office with little to no recovery time.
