Traditional plastic surgery training taught Dr. Anthony Youn that the bigger the operation, the better. This idea was reinforced throughout medical school and residency and stayed with Tony as he built his practice. As he grew, he built up a long waiting list of patients across the country and felt like he had hit the pinnacle of success. Then he had a horrible complication with a patient that transformed his perspective and approach to his work. Now known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon™, Tony has a whole body perspective on aging, the process of reversing aging, utilizing all the different minimally invasive available, and keeping surgery as a last resort. Dr. Anthony Youn is a very dear friend of mine who has a fantastic way of sharing information in a very entertaining way. In this conversation, we dive into the history of implants, breast implant illness, holistic plastic surgery tips, and much more.
