Summary

274: Dr. Cameron Chesnut isn’t your typical plastic surgeon. He focuses on a root-cause, functional approach to skin aging. From eliminating microplastics in his operating room to using better-for-you anesthetics, Dr. Chesnut prioritizes long-term health instead of short-term results. We’re getting into Dr. Chesnut’s hot takes, like why he’ll never use filler or implants, and why he’s so selective on the patients he accepts. Topics Discussed: → How does a functional approach to plastic surgery differ from the traditional one? → Why has filler become the seed oil of the plastic surgery world? → How can you prepare your body nutritionally and metabolically before surgery for better healing? → What are the benefits of fat transfers over fillers? → How has Dr. Chesnut eliminated microplastics and toxins from his operating room and procedures?

0:03.0	Most commonly now when I hear somebody say, or even just like kind of off the cuff, like, oh, I don't want to look like so-and-so. Now, most of the time when people say that, interestingly, they're talking about somebody who had filler, not somebody who had surgery, and people don't know the difference. They just know that somebody looks funny. The immediate attribution is plastic surgery, but it's actually filler that's causing that now.
0:24.0	Hi friends, welcome and people don't know the difference. They just know that somebody looks funny. The immediate attribution is plastic surgery, but it's actually filler that's causing that now.

1:18.8	I love colostrum.
1:20.3	In fact, my mom got me on colostrum about 10 years ago.
