Join us on "The Beauty Standard with Dr. Roy Kim" as we uncover the transformative journey of Leah Rae Russell, who bravely shares her experience with weight loss and the unexpected challenges of excess skin. Inspired by the surge in popularity of weight loss medications like Ozempic, this episode promises to enlighten listeners on the physical and emotional hurdles that follow significant weight reduction. You'll gain insight into how loose skin, far from being a mere cosmetic issue, can lead to real health concerns like rashes and infections, and how this has spurred a new wave of younger, healthier individuals seeking skin removal surgeries.
We also take a hard look at how these trends are reshaping the field of plastic surgery and the very standards of beauty themselves. From the ethical dilemmas and societal implications to the role of technological advancements like AI, we examine the shift through a multifaceted lens. With open conversations about insurance complexities and the importance of informed medical consultations, we aim to empower our listeners with knowledge. As we navigate these changes, we hope to inspire a more inclusive and accepting view of beauty, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique journey and the skin they're in.
