0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. You know, I think this is one of the most important episodes I've done at a long time to be able to talk about the temperature or I don't know what the right word is, but the environment in the conversation about cosmetic surgery and fillers and Botox. It's a subject that we just can't ignore, right? Like,
0:22.7	it's so in our face, and I guess that's kind of a pun. I don't even mean it. I didn't even intend it.
0:28.9	There's just a lot, I think, on some level to be concerned about. And not with judgment,
0:35.2	not with shame, not with any of that stuff, but to actually have a conversation with an expert on what is the actual impact of these things.
0:46.1	And are there times when we should not get them?
0:49.5	And I'm really fascinated by the societal and cultural influence or motivations or the ways that our
1:00.3	culture is shaping, gosh, so many puns, the expectations, especially for women of how they
1:07.7	should look.
1:08.4	You know, I think sometimes when we're surrounded by a lot of people who have

1:28.4	ago about getting hair replacement, I mean years and years ago. I used to take a drug in my early
1:33.7	20s that was for hair loss, which I stopped taking when I realized I was trading it. You know,
1:39.5	the idea of keeping my hair versus impacting myself biologically was really important to me to
1:46.0	recognize the truth of that was I willing to risk that for vanity and again this is not judgment
1:52.3	this is my own personal choice I was like no you know every once in a while I get a message from
1:58.3	like a Turkish hair transplant place and I'm like,
2:01.0	ah, not today, buddy. But I do appreciate that you notice that I have what I like to call
2:07.6	beautiful cul de cacts up in my hair line. So, you know, I really wanted to explore this conversation
2:14.9	with an expert and there is, I mean, he's world renowned in the
2:19.5	space of plastic surgery and all that kind of stuff. And he happened to be living just down
