Coast-to-Coast Confessions: What’s Next for Plastic Surgery in 2025?

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.
