Facial fat atrophy, also known as facial lipoatrophy, is a condition where the fat in the face diminishes, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance. This can occur due to a variety of causes, including genetics, aging, and certain medical conditions or treatments. One of the most common causes of facial fat atrophy is aging. As we get older, our bodies naturally lose fat, including in the face. This can result in a gaunt or hollow appearance, making us look older than we feel. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as HIV/AIDS and diabetes, can also lead to facial fat atrophy. Another major cause of facial fat atrophy is certain treatments, such as radiation therapy and certain medications. Radiation therapy, which is used to treat cancer, can damage the fat cells in the face, resulting in a sunken appearance. Certain medications, such as corticosteroids, can also lead to facial fat atrophy by causing the body to break down fat. Treatment options for facial fat atrophy include dermal fillers, fat grafting, and facial surgery. Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, can be injected into the face to add volume and improve the appearance of sunken or hollow areas. Fat grafting, which involves taking fat from one area of the body and transplanting it to the face, can also be used to restore volume. Facial surgery, such as a facelift, can also be used to improve the appearance of sunken or hollow areas in the face. It is important to consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of treatment for facial fat atrophy. With the right approach, it is possible to restore a more youthful and full appearance to the face.

Today, we are talking about threading. Threading is a procedure where temporary sutures are used to produce a tiny lift in the skin for a more youthful appearance. The final results of your thread lift will be noticeable within one to two months after treatment. There are three man types of threads that are currently on the market: Polydioxanone (PDO), Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polycarprolactone (PCA). PDO threads are the most popular type of thread because it is made of a biodegradable polymer. The best candidates for thread lifts are people who are younger than 55 and who do not want to go under the knife for a traditional surgical face lift.  Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast?

Happy Friday Beauty Byters! In this week’s Five Minute Friday, we discuss masseter botox to help TMJ. For anyone suffering from temporomandibular joint pain, also known as TMJ pain, Botox may be a great way to temporarily eliminate tension in the jaw. Similar to the way Botox works in areas like the forehead and glabella lines, it blocks communication between the nerves and muscles that reside in the temporomandibular joints. Botox alleviates tension within the jaw preventing muscles from engaging in involuntary movement of the jaw. If you frequently wake up with migraine headaches it is possible that you are grinding your teeth throughout the night. Seeing a doctor that specializes in the anatomy of the face should be the first step you take if you think you may have TMJ pain. Botox has the ability to eradicate certain conditions like lockjaw which sometimes comes hand in hand with TMJ pain. In addition to pain relief, Botox adds a slimming effect to the face due to the weakening of these muscles. Because Botox is considered an “off-label” treatment, it is crucial that you see a reputable doctor that has experience injecting these areas.

Hi beauties! This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am joined by the Marketing Director of Joovv, Wes Pfiffner. Together, we discuss the benefits of red light therapy and why everyone should start incorporating it into their life-long anti-aging routine. If the San Francisco 49ers have added red light therapy into their day-to-day lives, then so should you! Joovv is a company that develops light therapy products for performance, recovery, and overall health and wellness. Its mission is to provide users with the ability to choose between the recovery benefits of red light, near infrared light, or both, to naturally heal and regenerate processes of the body. This is the newest way to anti-age. Safe, effective concentrated wavelengths penetrate the skin cells to trigger collagen and elastin production while reducing inflammation and redness, and can also be used to stimulate hair growth.

Are you noticing the lack of a defined border in your lips or a "filler mustache" above the pink border of the lip? Then you most likely have filler migration. In today’s Five-Minute Friday episode, Dr. Kay talks about what causes filler migration and the steps you should take to avoid and fix it! Lip filler migration is becoming a huge epidemic and the reason for that is because filler is being injected imprecisely and too close to the pink vermillion boarder. While some patients may want an over filled look, an injectors job is to let patients know the risks of overfilling but still have respect for their aesthetic desires! Dr. Kay reviews what fillers are more susceptible to migration and the importance of not adding good filler on top of bad filler! The best way to eliminate migration is to get it dissolved and then refreshed. Listen in to get more details about the steps you need to take for the perfect pout and call Dr. Kay’s office at (626) 316-7033 to make an appointment so she can make you beautiful and confident again!  Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast?

Hi Beauties!  Can eating certain foods make you sexier? After listening in on this episode, you're going to be running to the grocery store this Valentine’s Day! On this Five-Minute Friday podcast, I talk about aphrodisiacs and the effect they have on you and how they may spice up your love life. What exactly are aphrodisiacs you may ask? Named after the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, aphrodisiacs, are foods that are said to boost your sexual desire.

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!  In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing botox injections for the masseters. Botox injection into the masseter muscle is ideal for patients who are grinding and clenching their teeth. It is also for patients who have frequent tension or migraine headaches, and for patients who do not like the shape of their face because of square or thick jawlines. Within a week of receiving masseter botox, facial muscle tension is relieved, and after 6-8 weeks the muscles will atrophy- meaning they will relax and the jawline will appear slimmer. To hear more about why masseter botox could be for you tune in to this weeks podcast.

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!  In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the impact of air pollution on skin! Exposure of the skin to air pollutants has been associated with skin aging and inflammatory or allergic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis or acne. Although human skin acts as a biological shield against pro-oxidative chemical and physical air pollutants, the prolonged or repetitive exposure to high levels of these pollutants may have profound negative effects on the skin. The protective ability of the skin is not unlimited, and problems arise when an abnormal exposure to environmental stressors exceeds the skin's normal defensive potential To hear more about how to protect your skin from air pollution tune in to this weeks podcast.

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!  In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing Kybella and Chin Liposuction! When choosing between Kybella and Chin Liposuction ask yourself if you want a procedure with minimal downtime and no anesthesia. If that is the case, Kybella is the option for you. Kybella is a fat melting shot and is great for spot reducing areas that are hard to eliminate with exercise and diet alone. However, chin liposuction is the gold standard when eliminating fat from the neck area. The results are more immediate with chin liposuction as the fat has already been removed, but overall skin tightening can take up to 6-12 months. To hear more about Kybella and Chin Liposuction tune in to this weeks podcast. I love informing my Beauty Byters with new information! Have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast?

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!  In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing Thread Lifts! Thread-lifts are worth it for the right patient with the right skin laxity, done by the right injector. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, the results can be great! For patients with too much skin laxity, a face lift is needed to  tighten and trim excess skin. However, it is important to note that this procedure along with filler injections, are all secondary to surgery. The gold standard is always a surgical brow lift and  mid face lift.

Hi Beauties, This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, we talk about prebiotics and how they're beneficial for your skin. Prebiotics are types of dietary fibers that sustain the beneficial microorganisms in the gut. During the process of digestion, prebiotics cannot be broken down because they are non-living, fermented carbohydrates. However, this fiber helps the gut bacteria produce nutrients for the colon cells, which ultimately leads to a healthier digestive system. Prebiotics help offset factors that lead to redness, dryness, and aging. By applying Prebiotics to the skin, Probiotics thrive, keeping the surface of the skin balanced, youthful, and strong.

Hi Beauties! On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am excited to be joined virtually by founder of Alaya Naturals and my friend, Shauna Reiter. She first developed her superfood product brand after giving birth to her first son, Max.

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!  In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the relationship between stress and graying hair.

Hi Beauties, This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, we talk about probiotics and how they're beneficial for your skin. Probiotics are microorganisms that are similar to the naturally occurring bacteria in your gut. They act as a protective shield against bad bacteria, preventing inflammation and premature aging of the skin. Dr. Kay discusses how probiotics can help deal with a variety of skin conditions such as acne, rashes, eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis. By incorporating more probiotic strains in our diets and in our skincare, we help make lasting effects on our skin. Probiotics reduce visible signs of aging, improve the level of hydration in the skin, and prevent breakouts by reducing skin sensitivity. Yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha are great to have on a daily basis, while also taking probiotic pills.

COVID-19 has changed the way the entire world functions and with that many of us have had to adapt to the various safety protocols put in place by our local governments. Many media outlets have verified with experts that Americans should expect to wear face coverings for the next several years even with a COVID-19 vaccine.  As businesses being to reopen and many of us return to work, we may find ourselves wearing masks for longer periods of time that one would hope. Surgical masks and cloth face coverings are known to produce excess moisture, built-up bacteria, and a lack of air circulation. This inevitably presents a risk for those with oily or acne-prone skin. Whenever you are at home it is so important to let your skin breathe, because it can get so dank under these masks, which causes more breakouts to occur for those who already have acne-prone skin.  In this episode, I share some of my favorite ways to attack "maskne" and how you can prevent it from becoming a problem!

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!   As you prepare for your summer vacation, or “stay-cation", it’s important to learn the benefits of wearing sunscreen. We all know ultra violet rays are harmful and accelerate aging, in addition to being pre-cancerous. However, most of us don’t even realize what we are putting on our skin. On this Five-Minute Friday, I spill all the benefits of using a mineral based sunscreen over the more common chemical sunscreens. From creating a physical barrier that reflects UV rays to being unable to absorb into the skin, I reveal how a simple switch of sunscreens can help to rejuvenate your skin and even prevent cancer. Even chemical sunscreens deemed ‘safe’ contain some amount of harmful active ingredients that are broken down and absorbed systemically into the skin, causing potential problems and side effects. I explain the science behind mineral based sunscreens, as well as how it helps to prevent pigmentation caused from the sun. So, if you’re suffering from melasma or hyperpigmentation, you’ll definitely want to tune in! Remember, the skin is the largest organ of your body, so I can’t stress enough how important it is to protect it!  Find me on Instagram here  Find our monthly promotions here  Find my KD Perfecting Sunscreen here  Shop my amazing skincare line here

Have you ever wondered how a toxin is invented? In this episode I got to interview the inventor of Xeomin, Dr. Jürgen Frevert. Dr. Frevert is an expert, a fighter for toxin purity, and a pioneer in aesthetics. Dr. Frevert was one of the first people to work with botulinum toxin and discovered a method of purifying it to give it 10 times less accessory junk proteins than brand name Botox. He is a fascinating character and his insights on the uses of xeomin, the properties of a great toxin and aesthetics in general are fascinating. Many patients have developed an immunity and/or resistance to brand name toxins like Botox or Dysport and I always look to Xeomin when a patient is dealing with these issues. Getting to meet Dr. Frevert was something I’d looked forward to for a while as a provider that uses Xeomin for a large portion of my patients on a daily basis. I truly stand behind this toxin and it was so fascinating to meet the man who started it all! Dr. Frevert began his cooperation with Merz Pharmaceuticals during his time as a Project Manager for biochemical projects and forged a new development in the pure clostridium botulinum neurotoxin that is now known around the world as Xeomin. Xeomin was officially licensed to Merz Pharmaceuticals in 2005 for the treatment of cervical dystonia and with blepharospasm following in 2009. Dr. Frever is currently traveling the globe as a consultant for Merz Pharmaceuticals and educated physicians, PAs, nurses, and industry insiders on his prized-creation on a daily basis.  Find me on Instagram here Watch my video Toxin Challenge Dysport vs. Xeomin here Learn about here Shop my amazing skincare line here

Happy Friday Beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I'm debunking everything you've been told about fillers. Being in this industry for nearly twenty years, I'm frequently asked through DMs, emails, and friends for filler recommendations and which ones are appropriate for specific areas of the face. Not only is every filler manufactured differently, but many of them are also made to target specific areas. The facial anatomy and skin elasticity vary from patient to patient, making it absolutely necessary to seek out an injector that is capable of guiding you in the right direction. As a facial plastic surgeon, I have had countless patients come in for hyaluronidase injections -- the injectable used to dissolve HA fillers -- because of work they received from an inexperienced injector. This episode is a great way to learn about the options available when it comes to beauty maintenance! Have a topic you want to be covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email [email protected]!

Happy Friday, beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, we chat about setting realistic expectations to attain your beauty goals. Quite often do patients come into my practice with unrealistic goals or seeking results that require a gradual process.

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I tell you everything you need to know about Accutane and acne skincare. Accutane has become an increasingly popular treatment for acne recently. But it is a strong prescription drug medication that has many side effects and risks. While it is effective at targeting acne, it's worthwhile to explore other, less extreme options first. In this podcast, I talk about the top 3 things you should try before starting Accutane. First, make sure you're using an acne wash with effective ingredients. Next, use Vitamin C to improve your skin's texture and tone. Lastly, make sure your skin is well hydrated with a noncomedogenic moisturizer. If you do decide to take Accutane, good skincare is still important. One of the side effects of Accutane is very dry, flaky skin so be sure to still follow these 3 steps in conjunction with your treatment. Find me on Instagram here! Shop the KD Acne Kit here!

Hi beauties! On this week’s Five Minute Friday I talk to you all about elastin! As we age, our skin inevitably loses volume and begins to droop. I can’t stress enough, the importance of replacing lost facial volume when it comes to warding off signs of aging. Your skin is like a rubber band, over time it begins to lose the shape that it originally had, making you look droopy, tired, and aged. Using products, that contain hyaluronic acid (an ingredient contained in many of our fillers) is a great way to hydrate and bring life back to the face. Hyaluronic acid will restore volume and hydrate the skin while filling in fine lines and wrinkles. I talk all about different procedures that I incorporate into my patients beauty plans to help them age gracefully. I discuss non-invasive treatments like micro-needling and radio-frequency skin tightening which have become popular in recent years due to their efficacy. One of my favorite things to discuss is the science behind injectables, skincare, and preventive aging.
