    Coast-to-Coast Confessions: What’s Next for Plastic Surgery in 2025?
    2025/06/03
    What happens when you put two powerhouse plastic surgeons, Dr. Matthew Nykiel from Newport Beach and Dr. Mark Epstein from Long Island, in a room together? You get an unfiltered deep dive into the ever-evolving world of body contouring, surgical trends, and even some wild in-flight emergency stories.

    They break down East Coast vs. West Coast aesthetics, how social media is influencing what people want (and who they go to), and what “balanced body” really means in 2025.

    They get into why fat is no longer the enemy and how that’s changing everything about the body contouring landscape.

    Hear why Renuvion skin tightening has become a game changer in their practices, what the next generation of fat-based fillers looks like, and how they feel about the rib reshaping trend.

    Pushing the limits of what's possible in plastic surgery [Matthew Nykiel, MD & Mark Epstein, MD]
    2025/05/29
    Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Nykiel and Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Epstein discuss the next generation of fat-based fillers (like alloClae)—and yes, it’s real human fat, processed, sterile, and ready to inject.

    But that’s not all. From fat to bones, we’re also talking about rib reshaping, an emerging trend that’s pushing the limits of what’s possible in aesthetic surgery.

  • How Sculptra works, where it works, and how it’s different from fillers [Colleen Phillips, PA-C - Portland, Oregon]

    How Sculptra works, where it works, and how it’s different from fillers [Colleen Phillips, PA-C - Portland, Oregon]
    2025/04/25
    Sculptra is not your typical filler—it’s a collagen-stimulating treatment that delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results, but it’s not an overnight fix. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra works by rebuilding your skin’s own collagen, helping to restore lost structure and firmness over time.

    Portland aesthetic injector Colleen Phillips, PA-C explains how Sculptra works, the typical treatment plan, why it’s not a last-minute treatment, and the surprising areas beyond the face where it can make a difference.
