Dr. Steven Davis on the Clear-Skin Diet – FOX29 Good Day Philadelphia (2019)

August 6, 2021 by Davis

We all know the importance of wearing sunscreen every day to avoid wrinkles, but did you know it’s not always about what goes on top of your skin? Dr. Steven Davis explains the clear-skin diet with FOX29, which avoids heavy sugars and buttery products. By monitoring what you are putting into your body, both your body and appearance will thank you.

Particularly for those who have an interest in PRP treatments, ensuring the health of your blood is critical. With a heavy sugar diet, your blood isn’t effective when injected into different areas of that body. All the more reasons to maintain a clear-skin diet!

Watch Dr. Steven Davis below to learn more about adjusting your diet to maintain healthy, clear, and youthful skin.

[Transcript]

Folks tend to change what they eat for different reasons but have you ever heard of a good skin diet? Researchers have found fitting certain foods into your daily routine can help fix your face, especially when it comes to wrinkles. Plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Davis agrees and also adds it’s not just what you eat but also what you should avoid. Good morning. Thanks so much.
Good morning. Hi, how are you doing?
I’m good. You’re gonna start with the age advancers, the things that you think sometimes add a little age to our skin.
Absolutely ’cause, you know, we’re putting stuff on our skin every single day to make us look younger and look better. And if you’re doing things internally by eating certain foods that are kind of going against that, it’s a bad idea.
[Host] Right?
So some of the things that we know right off the bat, processed meats has things in it like sulphites that are actually breaking down our own collagen. Fatty kinds of foods, like heavy starches, do the same thing. But one of the other things that most people really don’t think about when they’re thinking about sodas, and if you’re drinking real sugary sodas you know that can’t be good, right?
[Host] Yeah.
But if you’re even drinking diet type Coke and sodas and things like that, that’s also bad for you because it’s destroying a lot of the things that we’re doing inside. One of the big things that we’re doing as plastic surgeons is we’re using our own body and your own body’s materials. So we can take your blood, spin it down and re-inject it into your face, put it into your hair so that your hair starts growing.
Oh, so if your blood’s full of sugar and bad things.
It’s not gonna work as well.
It doesn’t work.
We can take our own body fat and transfer it from places where you don’t want it to be and put it in places like your butt.
Where you do want it, yeah.
Exactly. But if that fat isn’t healthy, it’s not gonna work as well either. So that’s when we start thinking about what kinds of foods can we actually do and put almost like an internal protection against things like sun damage and pollution.
[Host] And we’re talking men and women, right?
[Dr. Steven Davis] Absolutely.
Right, I know a lot of times people think skin, we just think women, but it’s men and women. We all have skin.
And again, when we’re thinking about skin I think, as a plastic surgeon we think about skin all the time, about wrinkles and things. But it also is like a little window to what you’re doing to your organs inside because things that actually make your collagen and your cells stronger are actually working to make your liver and your heart and other things inside better.
Function properly. I like that.
So, one of the things that we love are good fats. Things like avocados are wonderful fats, they have great sources of vitamin A and people that have problems with their skin, if you have a lot of acne problems, or prone to being acne prone, you can use this and it actually regulates your sebum production, your oil production.
Oh, that’s good to know.
Things like tomatoes, another wonderful source of almost like an internal way of wearing sunscreen. You know how every plastic surgeon, dermatologist, will tell you got to put a lot of sunscreen on because of the UVA, UVB rays.
Right.
Well just think if you could actually eat something that was almost like a scavenger inside your body.
That’s working from the inside out.
Exactly.
Okay.
That’s the idea behind these.
[Host] Good to know.
Same thing with carrots and things like a beta carotenes, those things also are absorbing all those bad UVA and UVB rays that are coming into your body. They’re working in your body to kind of like scavenge hunt.
[Host] And we also know protein’s always good.
Proteins are probably the building blocks of our skin. Two big things in our skin are collagen and elastin. Both of those things are proteins, so the more protein that you can actually furnish to your body, you’re actually building better structure so that you look younger.
And Dr. Davis, let me make sure I understand this. The more we age, the collagen starts to break down, right? So you need more protein to help build that back up.
Exactly, and the reason why it’s breaking down is because our cells are being attacked all the time by things like bad foods, sun damage and things like that. So if we can actually protect ourselves and make the cells turnover quicker into a healthier thing, we’re doing a great idea.
I love this. Dr. Steven Davis over in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, thanks for joining us.
Thank you very much.
I love this, eat your way to good skin guys. Quick break, we’ll be right back.

Examples of Combination Therapies

July 30, 2021 by Davis

Have you heard of combination therapies before? Dr. Davis has covered this exciting topic in the past, and today we’re diving into a few more specific examples. By combining multiple procedures all over the body, we are now able to obtain remarkable results.

Let’s begin with the face and utilizing both Botox and radio-frequency techniques. The combination of these two treatments can achieve the look you want, when you want it. You can also combine liposuction with different body shaping techniques in order to sculpt your body to the exact way you’ve always imagined.

Tune in with Cherry Hill, NJ, plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Davis as he discusses even more examples of combination therapies that provide incredible results for our patients.

[Transcript]

Hi, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about combination therapy and it’s something that you may have been listening to on podcasts or even seen in some advertisements, but combination therapy, if done properly, can be an extremely powerful tool to be used anywhere on the body. Let me give you some examples.

Number one would be the face. If we combined the use of Botox and facial fillers with some skin tightening, with radio-frequency techniques, you can get a tremendous result because we use the power of multiple different techniques.

Let me give you another one, liposuctioning of the body. Why don’t we take some of the fat that we’re removing and actually place it in places where you’d want it to be, like the breasts or the butt, those types of things make liposuction and body reshaping extremely exciting. And it is a combination therapy. Let me give you another one.

How about if we’re doing breasts and we’re using some breast lifting techniques, but in conjunction with that we’re also utilizing a very small, silicone gel breast implant, one of those gummy bear breast implants. It’s a great way of using multiple techniques to get a great result.

Let’s talk about hair. We’ve been doing a lot of PRP treatments to make your hair grow better, but after a while, you may actually wanna have the zones that are deficient in growing hair, actually start to grow more hair. We can now do a combination therapy where we’re doing hair transplants in conjunction with the use of PRP.

So when you hear the term combination therapy, keep in mind that it is the use of different modalities to try to achieve this unbelievable result.

Recovering from Pandemic-Related Body Dysmorphia

July 22, 2021 by Davis

We’re finally returning to a sense of normalcy, and our practice is filling up with new patients. After a long year of staring at ourselves all day on Zoom calls, it’s easier than ever to notice imperfections on your face or your body. Dr. Davis is here to remind you that these imperfections aren’t always a cause of concern.

As people begin to shake hands and interact face to face, pandemic-related body dysmorphia is becoming more and more prevalent. At Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we’re always happy to help you feel your best and look even better, but don’t let minuscule imperfections get you down.

For more on pandemic-related body dysmorphia, watch board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Davis on YouTube or subscribe to our podcast to learn more about the world of plastic surgery.

[Transcript]

Hi everyone. Now that the pandemic is starting to slow down a little bit, we’re starting to see a whole different crowd of patients that are starting to come in. And a lot of this has to do with trying to now get back to a more normal lifestyle. So for a long time, we were seeing patients that were really only seeing themselves and communicating with people via different kinds of zoom calls and things where you were actually looking at a screen at each other.

But now that you know, you’re gonna be going back to see your fellow employees, you’re gonna go back to see clients and other people, you really are starting to think about how you look in like person. And one of the things that we’re noting is that even though that idea of a dysmorphia, sometimes it was being called Snapchat dysmorphia or Zoom dysmorphia, some of it really is true. And some of it is really pulled out of complete context.

And what I want you to understand is when you’re staring at yourself very closely for hours of the day on a Zoom call, a lot of times you’re gonna see some imperfections that really no one else is spotting except you. And you’re looking at yourself for an extended period of time.

So when you come in and talk about that, if it isn’t something that your plastic surgeon, somebody like me, would be able to really see, don’t have them try to fix that because I think you’re gonna end up just looking a little bit more odd than you thought.

Second thing is, you actually may have something that you discovered by staring at yourself so long. And that is something that if your plastic surgeon is identifying with you, that could definitely be something that gets fixed. And look at that. You’ve actually uncovered something that may have always been there, that you never really noticed before. Now you can look so much better.

But think about it also from seeing people in person now, because a lot of body type dysmorphia is also something that we’re starting to see. When our patients are coming in and they may have gained a significant amount of weight over this pandemic.

If you need some help with that kind of stuff, don’t hesitate to reach out to your plastic surgeon or to get some help from someone in order to help train you in that ability to like lose a little bit of weight, get back on maybe a diet and exercise regimen.

But don’t forget that there are some great tools that we have to help you kind of slim down and look better in your clothing and even on the beach. So take that for what it’s worth and just understand that for now, we are getting back to seeing more and more people that have not only facial, but body type things that we can address and have you back to work very quickly.

When is Invasive Surgery the Best Option?

July 8, 2021 by Davis

At some point, some patients recognize that nonsurgical options just aren’t going to cut it anymore. Whether it’s due to an excess of prior work, or a preference for a more dramatic look, invasive surgery can become the best option.

Join Dr. Steven Davis on today’s day of surgery as he goes over when invasive surgery becomes the best option going forward. As exciting as non-invasive treatments are, at times, we see their effectiveness lose traction over time.

Don’t hesitate to give our practice a call (856-424-1700) to learn about both surgical and nonsurgical options and which one is best for you and your body. Or, contact Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery through our website and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

[Transcript]

It’s another surgery day, and it is really important when you’re having surgery that you’re doing it in a facility that not only is the physician and the surgeon comfortable with it, but the patients will be also. And I think one of the big things about having a surgical procedure is that it’s almost like it’s a way of understanding that there really aren’t gonna be a lot of other ways to make things better for what you’re looking to do.

Because in the office setting, we do so many things that are nonsurgical, and I think that makes patients very comfortable and it’s very exciting. But at some point, there’s going to be something that you come in for that really can’t be fixed properly without doing the surgery, and that’s one of the great things about being a plastic surgeon is that we have the ability to do something nonsurgical, as well as doing something surgical.

So for instance, today, one of the things that we’re gonna do is that we’re gonna go about doing a facelift and the facelift is on a patient that’s really had a good amount of facial fillers and other things done in the office setting. But at some point, when they start to realize that there are areas of their face that just aren’t getting corrected no matter what else happens, injectable wise, laser wise, then we have the option to really talk with them about going to the next step.

And in many times, it happens to be when you, as the patient, really start to look at your neck and your jowls, and you’re really thinking to yourself, no matter all the fillers and Botox and everything else that you may do to try to make that look better, at some point, the facelift is the answer for that problem that you may be looking at. So think about that as you’re moving forward in your plans for potentially doing a cosmetic procedure.

From Botox to Fillers, Trends in Men’s Health (FOX29)

July 1, 2021 by Davis

“Listen as Dr. Steven Davis (from Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery) discusses how more men are partaking in botox and fillers!”

Air Date: 6/19/21 Video Credit: FOX29

[Transcript]

So as you know, we’re taking the show on the road here at the African American Museum, recognizing Juneteenth, but it’s also Men’s Health Awareness Week. So, we wanna take a look at the trends that men are doing to look and feel better, especially as more of us ditch the mask and return to the office. So, I’m joined now by board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Davis. Dr. Davis, good morning. Thanks for spending some time with us.
Good morning. Good morning, how you doing?
Doing well, thank you. So, you say that you’re seeing lots of men kind of making a pit stop for a subtle touch-up. What kinda tweaks are men doing these days?
Well, I think, you know, kinda going back to seeing people, your clients, your coworkers, you may have to start ditching the scrubs or the sweatpants that you’re wearing at home and you’re gonna go see people. So, I think one of the first things I can tell you is that men have decided that Botox is definitely not just for women and they’re coming in and they’re getting stuff done and if it’s done properly, you can make a very subtle change and just make you look more refreshed. So, that’s one.
So, men are calling it Brotox now. It’s the male Botox.
That’s exactly right.
Just a little dose. What’s a hallow healer?
Yeah, well, here’s the thing. You know, so many of you and I see it myself, you start to see patients that are coming in that have a lot of deep hollows underneath their eyes and a lot of it stems from just having some fat pockets there, but facial fillers are like magic and literally, if it’s placed in the proper location, you can camouflage those deep hollows that are underneath the eyes. It’s pretty amazing how that looks and it just takes that tiredness away and since we’re talking about that tiredness, let me hit you with another thing. We’ve been doing a lot of these halo laser treatments, and it can be done in a very subtle fashion, but what we’re doing is that we’re getting the skin that looks dull, that looks aged, and we’re taking off that old dead dried skin cells and it just makes the skin look so much brighter and refreshed. That’s an easy fix and especially when you’re not able to put like your phone on a filter or your Zoom on some sort of a filter. Now you’re seeing people in real time and in person, just having a little bit more confidence in how you feel about yourself and how your skin looks. It can even go way after acne scars and things like that that a lot of guys come in to talk about and I’ll hit you with one more.
Finally, go ahead. We gotta do that one quickly.
The neck. Everybody’s coming in because they’re having to finally button the collar of their shirt and if over the course of time, you haven’t been eating so great, sometimes we can just liposuction that area and make the jawline and the neck very sharp and we do that in the office called flash liposuction. So, it allows me to take away that extra fat that may have accumulated there over these past few months.
I like it. We can refresh ourselves, as well. Doc, we appreciate you spending time with us. This is all I got, but maybe at some point, we’ll come and see you. You have a good one.
You’re looking very good. You’re looking good. Buh-bye.
I appreciate that.

The Power of Combination Therapies

June 18, 2021 by Davis

If you’ve been keeping up with the latest content from our podcast, The Plastic Surgery Revolution, you know how much promise our team sees behind combination therapies.

When combining two or more treatments, medical professionals across the plastic surgery world have noted incredible results. Not only will you be revitalizing two parts of your body, these combination therapies often go hand-in-hand for even more remarkable outcomes.

By increasing your body’s ability to grow collagen, a youthful appearance is achieved on different levels of the skin. Stacking procedures together can yield excellent results, and we can’t wait to continue exploring the power of combination therapies.

[Transcript]

Hi, everyone. I wanna make sure you know that one of the latest things that are really trending is the idea of combination therapies. And here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery along with our skincare department which we call the Skin Spa, we’re really teaming up very, very nicely to join forces if you will, to do as many things as we can in a non-surgical fashion. And sometimes, it may be a combination of surgery and non-surgery.

But the beauty of this is, we’re learning through the literature and through all my colleagues across the country that combining therapies almost makes like a one plus one equal like a three or a four. Because what’s happening is, we’re building on your ability to grow more and more collagen. We’re building on your ability to get more youthful in your appearance, by doing multiple different things at different levels of the skin. And it’s turning out to be a fantastic reward for you.

So, keep that in mind when you’re thinking of things like laser resurfacing, microneedling, fillers, Botox, all of those things now kind of dovetail together, and they can really make an unbelievable result when you kind of stack them on each other. It’s important though that you’re doing it in the right sequence. So check in with us if you have any questions about that.
