• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Arthur Perry, how are you doing?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Good. Mark, thanks so much for having me on the air,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: but I noticed I'm not in studio today because you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: didn't want those needles near you, right?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Him with the Botox. Listen, I know it's good for you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It looks good, but I don't have the nerve. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: cry at a flu shot. I'm not getting Botox.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Mark, it's only a matter of time. Only a matter
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of time until you give in and we're going to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: do it. How have you been, Mark? Good.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, tomorrow night on your show, do you have Dr.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Oz on with you tomorrow night?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I have, oh my goodness, I've been trying to get
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: him for six months. Dr. Mehmet Oz is going to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: be my guest tomorrow, six o'clock mark. He is the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid now. He's,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I guess that puts him about number two in the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Department of HHS, and he is revolutionizing healthcare as we speak.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So he's coming on the show. He's going to be
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: live in the studio with me tomorrow. Isn't that great?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Very good. So did you guys work together at some
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: point or something? Well, we wrote a book together.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I was on his show 11 times, and he's been
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: on my show probably about the same. He is one
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of the most talented people I've ever met, smartest guy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: A lot of people don't realize he actually invented a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: heart valve, a mitral heart valve. He was a cardiac
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: surgeon for years. He has an MBA, an MD degree.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, he has Emmy Awards. And besides that, he
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was captain of the Harvard football team. Did you know that? No.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: He's kind of a skinny guy, captain of the football team.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: He's a great guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm so happy to have him on the show tomorrow.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It'll be a wonderful show.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Very impressive.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So, okay, that's tomorrow night at 6 here on WOR. Hey,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I always ask you this. Right now, what's the most
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: popular plastic surgery procedure?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is facelift season. This is it, right? You
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: thought it was football season, Mark? Yeah. It's facelift season.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: We're doing a lot of them. I did, you ready
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for this one? I did an 84-year-old woman yesterday, Mark.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And she's more with it than you and me. No,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, you.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And it's her third facelift, and she's vibrant and healthy.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And why not? She really wants to look good. But
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it is facelift season right now. People wait. until after
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: summer to have their cosmetics removed because they don't want
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to recover during the summer.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Well, why does she need the third one? Don't they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: last for a while?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: They last anywhere from seven to ten years, but when
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you're 84, it's time for the third one.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, when you get the facelift, you take this here
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and you shove it up there, and then what happens?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: For like two weeks, you can't go out?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to hide for two weeks.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You really do.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So you feel okay. It's not a painful procedure. Honestly,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: on a scale of one to 10, it's a one
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to two.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Really? But you look terrible.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You look like you went five rounds with Mike Tyson
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: for about almost two weeks. So you hide, and then
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you come out, and you look good. And it continues
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to improve over the course of a couple months, looks
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: better and better, and then it's yours. And the younger
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you are, Mark, by the way, when you have a facelift,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the longer it will last. So if you have one
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: when you're 50, let's say, it'll last maybe 12 years,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: more than that. If you have one at 70, it'll
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: last like seven years or so, something like that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So you've got to stay in for two weeks, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you have to sit there and put ice on all
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: day for two weeks?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, no, we used to use ice. Too many frostbite injuries.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: No ice necessary. You just kind of chill out. No
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pun intended there. And, you know, no activity, no sports.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: But you're in your house watching TV, reading, and just
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: letting nature take its course. It's a pretty easy recovery.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So, in other words, you guys just sit at home
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and watch TV all day. That's pretty good. I like that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and when the pizza delivery guy comes,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you tell him to just leave it there. You'll slide
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the money under the door. Oh, okay.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You don't go to that. So what plastic surgery is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not so popular anymore, fading away?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. So every year, the National Society
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that represents most of us plastic surgeons, they put out
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: their statistics, and they put them out last week. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the usual procedures are the most popular liposuction, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: fat suction and breast augmentation. But it is interesting. I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: always like to see, you know, what's losing popularity. And,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you know, those resilient butt lifts that we've talked about
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in the past. Yeah, they are going away. And for
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: good reason, they're deadly procedures. There's hundreds and hundreds of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: people have died from that procedure. So last year. Yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: they were down 5% last year, continuing the trend. The
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: last three years, they've been down, down, down. That's good.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: But also, this one I can't figure out, Mark. Male
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: breast reduction. It's called gynecomastia. That's when men grow breasts.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's actually increased in incidence because of all the marijuana use.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Marijuana smokers develop breasts. Really interesting. You're kidding. Yeah. But
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for some reason, I don't understand this, the procedures declined
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: by 8% last year. They went down. Now, I'm going
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to predict. I'm going to predict they're going to be
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: way up next year. You know, we have these year-to-year blips.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But with, you know, you only have to walk down,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you know, the Upper West Side to smell all the marijuana, right, Mark?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You know, it's there. So men are going to be
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: growing breasts. It's the number one drug that causes male
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: breast growth.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So what about if women go out and use it?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Will that increase their breasts?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So when they're, you know, they have to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: have that warning now. No, they really should. They should
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: have it in the, you know, like smoker's warning. Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Marijuana warning. This will increase breast size.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Well, among women, you might have just sold a lot
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of marijuana.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I'm not sure it increases women's breast size,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: but yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's all sorts of information about marijuana,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but that's another show that's happened. So those are the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: procedures that kind of declined. But liposuction, that's fat removal. Mark,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that is the number one procedure for good reason. In
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: about an hour, I can suction five, six, seven pounds
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of fat. And despite all those GLP drugs like Ozempic
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and Zepbound, you know, that fat that's still on your
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: hips after you've lost the weight, nothing, or in your neck. Yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that's what I need, a little suction out of my neck. Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that stays even after weight loss, and that's where liposuction
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: comes in.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're talking with Dr. Arthur Perry. You can go
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to his website, perryplasticsurgery.com. You can listen to him on WOR,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Saturday nights, 6 o'clock. Hey, sometimes you see this bad
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: plastic surgery, these Boca Raton plastic surgeries. Some parts of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Long Island, you see some really bad plastic surgery. It's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Is that stuff fixable? Could somebody fix that? Oh, yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I do a lot of revisionary surgery. Fortunately, not my
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: first cases. But this past week, I saw a woman
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: who had a breast augmentation 24 years ago, and she
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: lived with a terrible deformity. You know, her implants were
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: in one area of her chest, and her breasts kind
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of drooped over them. And, yes, so it's more complicated
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to fix these things. But I enjoy that kind of
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: surgery because... Here we remove the implants, put in new models,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you know, get the new models, Mark. There are some
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: technical advances in breast augmentation. And then do a breast
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: lift so we can make breasts look significantly better, even
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: if they've been not so nicely augmented with breast implants.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Very common, but surgery... you know, we call it secondary
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: surgery or redo surgery, always more difficult than the first one.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: There's scar tissue to contend with and, you know, other
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: issues that make that surgery more difficult. But it's challenging
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and it's really, it's very rewarding for me because people
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: are just stressed when they've had bad plastic surgery and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they come in and we fix it and they're so happy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Those are the happiest patients.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There are some people who get too much plastic surgery, right?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Just say to them, you've had enough. Stop for a while. Yes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And plastic surgeons need to know when to say no.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And most good plastic surgeons will turn people down. if
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: they've had too much or they're not good psychological candidates.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But we all know there are plastic surgeons that are
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: willing to do anything, Mark, like take out ribs to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: make waist smaller. Have you heard of that one?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: It's incredible. You know, I think one of the Kardashians
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: did that. And, you know, God gave us ribs for
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a pretty good reason. They protect our heart. I They
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: protect our lungs. They protect our liver. And when you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: take those out for cosmetic reasons, there's one word I say.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It's called stupid. It's just stupid. But people are doing it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And plastic surgeons are willing to take people's money and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do the operation that they want, even if it's not
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the best one, unfortunately. Most won't, but there are always some.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You want a great plastic surgeon, you go to Dr.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Arthur Perry. His website is perryplasticsurgery.com periplasticsurgery.com. And he has
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: his own show here on WOR, Saturday nights at 6,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Saturday night at 6. In fact, tomorrow night is the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: show with Dr. Oz. You want to hear that. And Dr.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Arthur Perry, thanks for being with us.
