  Do you want know? I five, it's Erica DeLong sitting down with doctor
• 0:02
  Glen Lyle. Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center now going on eight months into
• 0:06
  the new year with your new practice, and you have everything. This is
• 0:10
  a very boutique style practice, full service and a beautiful building, very wooded
• 0:16
  area. I know that that was a big for you. Tell us all
• 0:18
  about Lyle plastic surgery and aesthetics and what we can expect when we visit.
• 0:22
  Yeah, you know, well, of course, full service surgical procedures.
• 0:28
  I'm you know, obviously do plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery. I don't do
• 0:31
  insurance anymore. But and it's you know, breast and body and face.
• 0:36
  You know, some things I don't do. But I you know, that's
• 0:40
  been the sort of the mainstay of my practice for my whole career. But
• 0:45
  I've really wanted to introduce other options, other things. You know, people
• 0:50
  say it's a med spa, we call it the Aesthetics Center, but realistically
• 0:54
  it's medical grade treatments and it's really Yes, there are some sort of MEDSPA
• 1:00
  type things. We do have facials and hydrofacials and some of the more pampering
• 1:06
  things. But honestly, we don't have a lot of the other services to
• 1:08
  some medspos you know, we're not doing. We don't do laser hair removal.
• 1:12
  We don't do you know, like brow waxing and things like that.
• 1:18
  Tinting, we don't. We don't do some of those things you'll see in
• 1:21
  a you know, so when you say we're full service, there's some things
• 1:23
  we don't do. Purposely, we're a little bit smaller, a little bit
• 1:26
  more boutique, but it's more I'm looking at technology and how can technology help
• 1:34
  you look younger, look your age sometimes so, and there are some devices
• 1:40
  we don't have that I purposely don't have. You know, I do a
• 1:42
  lot of body contouring. There's all kinds of places to do cool sculpting.
• 1:47
  I think cool sculpting is fine. But honestly, if you're coming to me,
• 1:52
  you're mostly gonna want or need liposuction. And if you don't, then
• 1:56
  I can refer you to good people no liposuction real quick? Do you have
• 2:00
  different types of liposuction that you offer? Ye? And what are they?
• 2:04
  Yeah? So I have, Well, I have one device it's called the
• 2:07
  Vaser. It's ultrasonic assisted liposuction. It's a little better for certain parts of
• 2:12
  the body that are have like tough, fibrous fatty tissue, male breasts,
• 2:16
  that kind of thing. It's good for revisional work. It's actually good for
• 2:22
  people who have had cool sculpting that have problems and have tethered areas. It
• 2:24
  breaks through that some of that that sometimes cool sculpting doesn't have a good result.
• 2:30
  And you know, so I have that, and I have what they
• 2:32
  call power assisted liposuction, which is uh it's when you do LiPo section.
• 2:37
  It's just you, you know, sucking the fat out, but it's a
• 2:40
  power system just helps me and it makes it a little bit more even.
• 2:44
  I think there are other types of liposuction that I don't have. Laser,
• 2:49
  which is more of a higher energy heating of the tissue is supposed to shrink
• 2:53
  skin. And then I have some adjuncts that go along with that, and
• 2:57
  you know, liposuction, I do most of my lip aside with people asleep,
• 3:00
  they're having something else, or they're having just a lot of LP assuction.
• 3:05
  You can also do small amounts of light astructions. Some people come in
• 3:07
  and say, you know, I just have these small areas, and I
• 3:10
  can do that under a local anesthesia, maybe with a light sedative. And
• 3:15
  some doctors do a lot of lip assuction with people fully awake, and that's
• 3:17
  fine. I just prefer to do it when you're asleep because I'm usually doing
• 3:23
  something else too. Okay, So you do the liposuction and those different types,
• 3:25
  and then you have other devices that people in this area do not have,
• 3:30
  like Niogen, Well, neogen is one. Neogen is is. You
• 3:35
  know a lot of people when they want to what they call resurface your skin,
• 3:38
  you know, they want to blow torch off. It's a term I
• 3:43
  use. It's not really blowtorch, blow torching off the top layer of skin
• 3:46
  and letting the new one come in. And it's more rejuvenative. So like
• 3:49
  a CO two laser and some of the other lasers I used to have that.
• 3:53
  I still think it's a great device, but I've traded mine out for
• 3:57
  a plasma. It's not a layers plasma device, so it but it creates
• 4:02
  energy that does very similar but it's it's not like you leave and your face
• 4:08
  is immediately peeling. It's almost like a delayed effect in it more like it
• 4:13
  forms like a leathery surface, and studies have shown and results from other providers
• 4:19
  have shown just a it's almost like a gentler way of doing it in a
• 4:23
  way, and I think it just has a more rejuvenating effect in the long
• 4:28
  term at least that's what the advantages of this. And it hurts about the
• 4:31
  same. You still have to be numbed up. But I've had it done
• 4:34
  my as an experiment before I even bought the device, I had it done
• 4:39
  on my around my eyes, just to see what it was like on a
• 4:41
  lower setting, and it wasn't bad at all. Is that a good maintenance
• 4:45
  device? Like so say you had co two years ago or Fraxil years ago,
• 4:48
  because you typically have to do it every couple of years, right,
• 4:53
  just keep it maintained. And we do think that the thing of the neogen.
• 4:58
  This is true of almost any device. So you can adjust the settings,
• 5:01
  and you can do that with other devices as well. But when you
• 5:04
  adjust the device, you can do what they call low energy. Low energy
• 5:08
  is going to be it's going to have a nice effect, but it's more
• 5:12
  cumulative. So if you're going to have a low energy treatment, you're going
• 5:15
  to recover a little quicker. A couple of days, but you're gonna have
• 5:18
  to have it like three times maybe that year where there's high energy or what
• 5:24
  we call high low energy, where it may be a little bit stronger,
• 5:28
  and it may be a one time thing that you do. When you say
• 5:30
  one time, it's not like, hey, that lasts five years. It's
• 5:33
  going to last a year, two years, but it's going to have a
• 5:36
  major improvement in your skin, not only some textural things pigmentation, but also
• 5:43
  what we've seen is a real almost a tightening of the skin. And I
• 5:46
  think it's great for people who have had previous procedures and they say, oh,
• 5:51
  you know, I had to see it too, and that was awful,
• 5:53
  and this one's a little bit better experience. In my opinion. It's
• 5:58
  like little puffs of hot air you as opposed to getting zapped. You still
• 6:02
  have to be numbed for it, and you still have to We sometimes offer
• 6:08
  an oral sedative if you want, but a lot of people don't. People
• 6:11
  just you know, they don't have they don't have the time to have someone
• 6:15
  come in and bring them that kind of thing, and they just want to
• 6:17
  be able to leave. And you leave there and you're a little red you're
• 6:19
  not like, you know, like peeling all over the place. So that's
• 6:24
  one device. I also have what they call soft wave, which is a
• 6:28
  high intense energy ultrasound which helps to shrink some of the deeper tissues. So
• 6:33
  it's not so much for the skin, the top layer of skin. It's
• 6:36
  more for the deeper tissues. So it's going to be something that's going to
• 6:40
  tighten. It's going to tighten like your face a little bit and your neck.
• 6:45
  Now some of these devices overlap, like Neogen does that too to an
• 6:47
  extent, but this is like getting a little deeper. It's good for like
• 6:51
  necks. Actually just got FDA approval for things like your arms, Like,
• 6:57
  yeah, going to ask your arms what it's dangling? No matter how much
• 6:59
  weight you lose, right, that's a problem. Yeah, So soft wave
• 7:02
  is one of those devices that just recently got approval. People were using it
• 7:08
  for that reason. But if it's going to shrink and tightened skin, and
• 7:12
  why not do it on an arm or around a knee or something like that.
• 7:15
  Even some people think that it. I haven't used a lot for this,
• 7:17
  but for cellulite. Okay, Now, how many treatments are typically required?
• 7:21
  If you were to do the arms, the fat under the arms.
• 7:25
  I would say that, you know, my hope is that you do it
• 7:28
  one treatment. I usually you don't see the results right away, So you
• 7:32
  don't want to have someone come in and do it and then come back again,
• 7:35
  like in a month and do it again. You want to kind of
• 7:38
  give it a good three months and see how it's done. You know,
• 7:41
  ideally it's a one and done, but sometimes a second treatment is necessary and
• 7:46
  that. But that's also part of the aging process. You know. It's
• 7:48
  not like it changes the collagen structure and your body doesn't continue to age.
• 7:55
  It does does this last forever? Or it's like when you say it last,
• 7:59
  it's good for a year, a year to two, I would say,
• 8:03
  And again that's just being honest. I think a lot of times,
• 8:07
  I'm sure the company wants you to say, hey, do this maybe every
• 8:11
  five years. But even facelifts and stuff. You know, you do a
• 8:13
  facelift, people say, how long does a facelift lasts? Well, I
• 8:16
  mean you're going to continue to age. You may want to have a little
• 8:20
  tuck in a couple of years, little minor duck or something. So I
• 8:24
  think it's I think these things are like, you get one treatment, you
• 8:28
  may need some maintenance treatments, maybe a lower energy or something. And then
• 8:33
  we also have a device called cyton BBL, which is not the kind of
• 8:37
  BBL a lot of people think about. It's broadband light, but it helps
• 8:41
  more like pigmentation changes. It brings out and corrects colors, you know,
• 8:46
  change red. It can get out some vascular things like little blushes on your
• 8:50
  face. That's also something you probably need to have a few treatments set apart.
• 8:54
  But it doesn't really hurt that much, you know. And unfortunately,
• 8:58
  almost anything that's going to be good for your appearance or skin is going to
• 9:03
  hurt to some degree. It's going to be That's that's how it goes,
• 9:07
  right, but you know, and but you know, things like a facial
• 9:11
  hydrofacial is good for your skin. You look great after it. That doesn't
• 9:16
  hurt at all. That's more relaxing. And so I'm not talking about every
• 9:20
  single thing, but pretty much anything that's going to really rejuvenate your face is
• 9:24
  going to come with some discomfort. And my hope is that my goal is
• 9:28
  to do it with as little discomfort as possible, especially these devices that you
• 9:33
  have to do again. So it's like you may come in for one treatment
• 9:35
  and then you're like, I'm never doing that again because that hurt too much.
• 9:39
  And so it's how we do it. It's it's how we numb you.
• 9:43
  It's also providing you with some pain medicine and you know, not necessarily
• 9:48
  a narcotic, but things just to make your experience a good experience. And
• 9:52
  you know, my my location is I think a very peaceful location. It's
• 9:58
  you know, it's over West raw off a blue Ridge and it's very light,
• 10:03
  airy rooms. I think people feel relaxed when they go in there.
• 10:05
  It's not like a in my opinion, it's not like you're going to a
• 10:09
  clinic where you're like in a closed off room. I mean, all the
• 10:11
  rooms are wide open, you can. I think it's it seems private because
• 10:16
  a lot of people are very you know, they're they want to be quiet
• 10:18
  about whatever procedures they're getting, right, and it feels very private. Yeah,
• 10:22
  it's private, but it's also you know, what I like about it
• 10:26
  is that people when you go in the room and even with the windows open,
• 10:30
  no one can see you. Right, we're on the second floor.
• 10:33
  You look at the trees and everything. It's just a lot of people describe
• 10:35
  it as just relaxing. So and as somebody that's well known in the area,
• 10:39
  a very experienced plastic surgeon, have you noticed the devices are getting better?
• 10:45
  I mean, obviously they're getting better, but the technology advances over the
• 10:48
  years because y'all stay well trained a low plastic surgery and aesthetics. Yeah,
• 10:52
  they do. I think sometimes I think of it as what's that term they
• 10:56
  use about like planned obsolescence. It's almost like they plan you know, there's
• 11:01
  always a new, better device. You know, you get a device,
• 11:05
  and this is one of the things you deal with as a as a SPA
• 11:09
  or asthetics owner, is that, you know, a company comes out with
• 11:13
  this device, Oh, this is the best thing. You buy it.
• 11:15
  They cost a lot of money. You know, you got to, you
• 11:18
  know, get a lot of patience to do it to even pay for it.
• 11:22
  And then and then a couple of years later, they're like, oh,
• 11:24
  We've got this new, improved one, and it's like, what happened
• 11:26
  to that good technology? Right? Some of the technologies I have are new,
• 11:31
  but some of them are old and tried and true. And when I
• 11:33
  say old, I shouldn't say old but like right, like Cyton BBL,
• 11:39
  it's been a winner and you know a lot of awards from you know these
• 11:45
  new beauty magazine and things like that. Soft Wave is relatively new, but
• 11:48
  the technology has been around. Some of these are even like Neogen. That
• 11:54
  technology was called something else a while back and it was sort of made better
• 11:58
  and it's a amazing Some of the engineers, and a lot of them are
• 12:01
  in foreign you know, our country, but foreign countries, Korea and different
• 12:05
  countries where they they really biomechanical engine or biomedical engineers will will create this technology.
• 12:13
  It's way above my abilities. I was never like that great in physics.
• 12:18
  But it's like these guys really know skin, they know these devices.
• 12:26
  But of course they're like, okay, well how do we get it better?
• 12:30
  And then that's a frustrating thing. You know, you can't have technology
• 12:33
  necessarily that's ten years old, but the same token you can't buy in brand
• 12:37
  new devices does the same thing every year too. What is the best way
• 12:41
  to get in to have your skin, your body, have yourself evaluated to
• 12:45
  see what it is you can do for yourself. Well, I, you
• 12:48
  know, I we recommend appointments with my my asthetic providers who are either are
• 12:54
  in or a physician assistant. We do have esthetician, but that's going to
• 13:01
  be more more for like facials and things, and you know that kind of thing.
