In this inaugural episode, New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Bass and co-host Doreen Wu discuss some of the unique aspects of the Park Avenue approach to plastic surgery that were motivating factors in starting the podcast.

The virtues and pitfalls of before and after images in plastic surgery planning and social media are covered in the remainder of this episode. Plastic surgeons and patients rely on images to diagnose, plan and assess results but fine details of photographic technique can foil even the best efforts and obtaining worthwhile images.

Find out some of the tell-tales that images on the internet may be unrealistic representations or simply unsuitable for helping you to plan your procedures.
