67: Breast Implant Illness With Anthony Youn, MD

Confessions of a Male Gynecologist

Traditional plastic surgery training taught Dr. Anthony Youn that the bigger the operation, the better. This idea was reinforced throughout medical school and residency and stayed with Tony as he built his practice. As he grew, he built up a long waiting list of patients across the country and felt like he had hit the pinnacle of success.

Now known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon™, Tony has a whole body perspective on aging, the process of reversing aging, utilizing all the different minimally invasive available, and keeping surgery as a last resort. In this conversation, we dive into the history of implants, breast implant illness, holistic plastic surgery tips, and much more.
