Ep. 189 - From Insecurity to Incision: A Top Plastic Surgeon's Unfiltered Advice

The Smartest Doctor in the Room

Ever looked in the mirror and wondered, What if I tweaked this? You’re not alone. Plastic surgery—once reserved for the rich and famous—is now a reality for everyday people seeking confidence and self-improvement. But how do you know if it’s right for you? And what separates a natural-looking result from a "wind tunnel face"?
On this episode, host Dean Mitchell sits down with Dr. Robert Freund, a top Manhattan plastic surgeon, inventor of the Teardrop Breast Lift, and author of Cosmetic Breast Surgery and A More Beautiful You. From their shared high school days to their time at Brown University, Dean and Dr. Freund reunite for a candid conversation about the psychology of plastic surgery, teen procedures, the future of anti-aging and much more!
Whether you’re considering a procedure or just fascinated by the intersection of medicine and art, this episode is packed with insider insights, ethical dilemmas, and a few wild stories from Dr. Freund (like the time he spent 16 hours reattaching a model’s fingertip).
