Let’s talk about what’s really aging your appearance, fellas—your neck, your eyes, and your forehead. In this episode of Plastic Surgery T & A, I, Dr. Earl Stephenson—board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta—introduce a game-changing approach designed specifically for men who want to look refreshed, masculine, and powerful without committing to a full facelift.

🔹 This is The Power Profile: a strategic, minimal-downtime procedure stack that redefines the lower face and rejuvenates tired eyes. It’s not a backup plan—it’s a primary approach for men who mean business.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🔹 What is a Direct Neck Lift for Men?

Removes sagging skin and excess fat beneath the chin Tightens the platysma muscle to eliminate vertical neck bands Uses a single discreet incision under the chin Gives you a defined, stronger jawline with a masculine contour

🔹 How This Procedure Differs for Men vs. Women

Men often tolerate slightly longer incisions due to facial hair and clothing Collared shirts and beards help conceal healing incisions Men heal well in the face and neck—making this a great option

🔹 Stackable Enhancements for Maximum Impact

BOTOX™ for Forehead & Crow’s Feet: Smooth deep expression lines while maintaining your natural look

Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty): Remove heavy or hooded lids for a more alert, energized appearance

Lower Eyelid Lift: Optional for men with significant under-eye puffiness (though many men tolerate some crepiness here just fine)

No Brow Lift Needed: Most men can carry a naturally low brow without looking tired or aged

🎯 Who Is This For?

Ideal for men who are: In their 50s, 60s, or early 70s

Experiencing advanced aging in the neck but mild/moderate changes in the face Wanting results without a full facelift or extended recovery

Seeking to look more rested, more confident, and more competitive—whether in the boardroom or the dating scene

Not for: Smokers or tobacco users (must be nicotine-free 4+ weeks prior to surgery) Men with severe facial aging who need full face and neck lift procedures Those looking for results from injectables alone (fillers and RF won’t cut it for advanced laxity)

⏱️ Recovery & Downtime

Procedure time: 2–3 hours (depending on enhancements)

Back to work: 7–14 days

Garment wear: 2 weeks full-time, then nights only

Bruising/swelling: Mild to moderate, improved with Arnica & Bromelain

Scar: Fades discreetly over time

💬 FAQs Answered in This Video:

Can I get BOTOX™ and eyelid surgery at the same time as my neck lift?

How long does a direct neck lift last?

Will people know I had work done?

What’s the cost range for this kind of surgical stack?

How do I know if I need a facelift instead?

Welcome to another episode of Plastic Surgery T&A – That’s Talk and Advice – where we uncover the truth behind the beauty industry and help you make well-informed decisions on your aesthetic journey.

I’m Dr. Earl Stephenson, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of ESJ Aesthetics in Dunwoody, Georgia.

Today’s topic is one that’s buzzing in the cosmetic surgery world: Facebook plastic surgery groups like “Go Tuck Yourself.” These forums can be helpful, but they can also be dangerous.

In this episode, I’ll break down:

🔹 Why these groups exist and their evolution from private “Doll” groups to massive public forums.

🔹 The pros: Peer support, shared experiences, emotional encouragement, and community-building.

🔹 The cons: Misinformation, unethical marketing manipulation, false advertising, and exploitation of vulnerable patients.

🔹 How to stay safe: Identifying red flags, verifying credentials, and knowing when to trust advice.

🔹 Personal stories and real examples of how these groups can mislead people with fake testimonials, Photoshop manipulation, and other deceptive tactics.

As a plastic surgeon with nearly two decades of experience, I've seen patients come in with misguided expectations because of the misinformation spread within these forums. Whether it’s sketchy advice on post-op care, dangerous medical recommendations from non-professionals, or marketing manipulation, it’s important to know how to separate fact from fiction.

These platforms aren’t all bad. They provide community support, validation, and comfort for those who feel judged or misunderstood about their aesthetic goals. But you need to understand the risks and navigate them safely.

🎧 In this episode, we’ll discuss:

✅ What Facebook plastic surgery groups are and why they attract so many people.

✅ How misinformation and unethical marketing can put your health at risk.

✅ Warning signs to look out for when seeking advice online.

✅ Why it’s essential to verify information with a certified plastic surgeon.

✅ Practical tips to keep yourself safe while using these online communities.

Welcome to Plastic Surgery T & A with Dr. Earl Stephenson, your trusted board-certified plastic surgeon delivering truth and transformation every week.

In this episode, “Beauty and the Algorithm: How AI Is Reshaping the Face of Plastic Surgery”, we’re diving deep into how artificial intelligence, beauty filters, and social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and FaceApp are redefining beauty standards, shaping patient expectations, and even influencing surgical techniques. But what happens when the perfect face on your screen becomes the standard you’re trying to achieve in real life?

📌 In This Episode, We Discuss:

1. The Impact of AI Filters & Apps: How social media filters are acting as a gateway to cosmetic procedures and creating unrealistic beauty standards.

2. The Psychological Toll: Understanding Snapchat Dysmorphia, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and why chasing perfection can be a slippery slope.

3. AI Tools in Plastic Surgery: How predictive imaging tools like Vectra, Chrysilax, AEDIT, and Banuba are changing the consultation process — and why they’re a double-edged sword.

4. Cultural Bias in AI Filters: Why AI isn’t neutral and how it promotes Eurocentric beauty ideals, impacting patients of color.

5. Ethical Dilemmas & The ESJ Way: Why I choose to enhance your natural beauty, not erase it — and how technology should be used responsibly.

6. The Future of AI in Aesthetics: How AI can enhance consultations, pre-surgical planning, and education, but will never replace the expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon.
