Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize quality over quantity in surgical practice
The surgeon intentionally performs fewer surgeries than he could to maintain the highest quality of results, prioritizing his craft over quantity.
Utilize laser cocktails for optimal rejuvenation post-surgery
A post-surgery "laser cocktail" is arguably the most rejuvenative part of the entire procedure, even though it causes significant initial swelling.
Understand collagen supplements as amino acid building blocks
Ingesting collagen powder is like breaking a novel into individual letters (amino acids), which your body must then reassemble into new proteins.
Reclaim peak performance habits in medical training
The medical training system often beats peak performance habits out of surgeons, forcing them to operate at a fraction of their potential.
Recognize long-lasting effects of hyaluronic acid fillers
Contrary to the belief that they last 6-18 months, hyaluronic acid fillers can remain in the body for decades, which can lead to problematic accumulation.
Avoid steroids post-surgery to promote healing
Using steroids post-surgery is "blasphemy" because it blankets the good inflammation that is necessary for healing and creating new collagen.
Review procedural journals to refine surgical techniques
The surgeon keeps a detailed procedural journal and reviews it months later with before-and-after photos to get delayed feedback and refine his technique.
Utilize fat as a source of mesenchymal stem cells for tissue rejuvenation
Fat harvested from a patient is used not just for volume but as a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells that can rejuvenate tissue and create new blood vessels.
