Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K. Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,

and it's time for a five-minute

Friday. I'm going to talk to you about beauty at every age. I think society makes it very hard

for all of us to age, especially hard for women to age. It seems like we're very accepted in society

when we're 20, 30, 40, but you hit 50,

and suddenly it's all over. We need to have more acceptance of aging, especially as aesthetic

injectors and plastic surgeons and providers. I think it's so critical. It's so hard on women to have to be perfect at everything we do,

whether it's raising children, being a good wife, being a good mom, being beautiful. It's very hard.

We're raising women in their 20s who are so perfection driven that it literally is giving them

lifetime of pathology, insecurity, and just

you know, personality erosion. There's no more focus on character and strength of personality.

It's all about external beauty. And I think that's so wrong. And I'm teaching my daughters

differently. I, of course, I'm always going to value beauty in

our lives. I think when you look in the mirror you want to see a reflection of your identity.

And it should be a reflection of your ethnicity, your individual characteristics, the things that

make you you. And it should be hopefully balanced and harmonious in a way that you

accept your face and you love your face. And if not, we have the technology to improve that.

And I also want you to maintain it all of your life. Just like any car, you need a good service plan.

You can't drive your car for 80 years and not put gas and maintenance and tuning it up into that vehicle.

You need to do that as well for your face, your body.

We need to maintain.

So in aesthetics, what we do is not necessarily about change and always driving people to perfectionist measurements.
