Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, the highly sought-after facial plastic surgeon to the stars, Dr. Kay Durairaj. On today’s episode, Dr. Belardo gets a full rundown of the pros and cons of Botox, fillers, rhinoplasty, and liposuction, and the two share their favorite non-surgical treatments. Dr. Kay empowers her patients (including Danielle) to call their own shots when it comes to beauty and provides them with the autonomy to make decisions about their aesthetics that stay true to who they are. The pursuit of beauty is on your terms.

Danielle and Kay discuss:

The pretty vs. brainy dichotomy that is present in today’s society
The positive and negative effects of social media on beauty standards and self-image
The differences between non-surgical and surgical rhinoplasty and the costs associated with both interventions
What to look for on a specialist's resume to ensure you’re in good hands
What Kybella is, how it differs from liposuction, and its efficacy
