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.

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.

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.

n today’s world of aesthetic medicine, the question isn’t always “fillers or facelift?” — it’s how the two can work together for the most natural, lasting results.

In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis explains how injectable fillers and facelift surgery address different layers of the face — and why understanding those layers is essential for safe, effective rejuvenation.

Dr. Davis often hears patients express concern that fillers or nonsurgical skin-tightening treatments might make future facelift surgery more difficult. While certain procedures that use energy or create deep collagen stimulation can change tissue texture, intradermal hyaluronic acid fillers — the most commonly used type — do not interfere with facelift procedures.

That’s because these fillers target the dermis, the layer responsible for collagen and elasticity. Injected with precision, they smooth fine lines and subtly lift the skin without affecting deeper structures. As Dr. Davis describes it, “Think of intradermal filler injections as painting within the skin — polishing and plumping it — without ever interfering with what we do in a facelift.”

A facelift, on the other hand, works below the dermis to reposition and tighten underlying tissues, creating a refreshed foundation. Together, the two treatments form a powerful combination: fillers to restore the skin’s texture and volume, and a facelift to refine structure and contour.

Dr. Davis encourages patients to think of modern facial rejuvenation as a continuum — one that evolves with their needs over time. Whether through subtle injectable touch-ups or surgical artistry, the goal remains the same: to help you look as vibrant as you feel.

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, one of the most common questions patients ask is: Should I get fillers or a facelift? In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis breaks down the differences between the two and explains why it’s not always an either-or decision.

Dr. Davis shares that many patients worry their use of fillers or non-surgical treatments—like radiofrequency tightening, Kybella, or Sculptra—could make a future facelift more complicated. While certain energy-based or collagen-stimulating treatments can create thicker tissue that requires more precision during surgery, most hyaluronic acid fillers, when placed properly, do not interfere with facelift procedures.

To understand why, Dr. Davis offers a simple lesson in skin anatomy. The skin has several layers, and hyaluronic acid fillers are typically placed in the dermis, just beneath the surface. This is where collagen lives—the protein that gives youthful skin its smooth, plump quality. Injecting filler here helps “paint within the skin,” softening fine lines, improving texture, and subtly lifting areas like the corners of the mouth or the upper lip.

A facelift, on the other hand, works below the skin to reposition and tighten deeper tissues. As Dr. Davis explains, “When we perform a facelift, we’re operating underneath the dermis. Those intradermal fillers don’t affect what we’re doing at all.”

The key takeaway? A facelift and fillers can complement—not conflict with—each other. Fillers restore volume and skin quality, while a facelift refines structure and contour. Together, they can create a balanced, natural result that looks refreshed, not overdone.
