There's no shortage of plastic surgery advice online, but not all of it is rooted in fact.

Dr. Lawrence Bass introduces his "Facts and Fallacies" series designed to help you separate what's true from what just sounds convincing.

He explains why misinformation spreads so easily, from attention-driven media to the complexity of medical topics, and decodes the difference between evidence-based facts and personal opinion.

The goal is to help you think more critically and make decisions based on real, reliable information—not internet noise.

Most people focus on the facelift itself, but the real work starts long before surgery day. Dr. Lawrence Bass and Dr. Kylie Edinger talk about why the weeks leading up to a facelift can shape everything from safety to final results.

They explain the behind-the-scenes prep plastic surgeons care about most, including medical clearance, blood pressure control, medications and supplements to pause, and why nicotine of any kind is a dealbreaker for uneventful healing.

Get their tips on practical at-home prep, from nutrition and protein intake to skin care, GLP-1 considerations, and recovery planning.

When you prepare your body properly, you give your facelift the best possible chance to succeed.

Sometimes you don't need a full makeover, but rather just a smart tweak. Dr. Bass introduces the idea of "beauty tweakments," the small, low-downtime treatments designed to quietly keep aging in check without dramatic change.

He explains how tweakments fit into a bigger beauty plan, depending on your stage of aging, what you've already done, and what stands out most right now.

From Botox and light-based treatments to subtle filler in overlooked areas like earlobes, hands, and the neck, these small adjustments keep everything looking balanced and intentional.

Tweakments are maintenance, not transformation. Used thoughtfully, they can delay bigger procedures and keep you looking refreshed. Tweakments —showing moderation can be just right.
