As the old saying goes, "The only constants in life are aging and taxes." At least that's how I think it goes. Aging has been a constant crux for people and many have turned to avenues to help turn back the hands of time with neck lifts and/or liposuctions. However, many have often seen issues with treatments where their necks do not look as naturally sharper as they want. With some patients often seeing what called a cobra neck deformity. Dr. Anil Shah, double-board certified facial plastic surgeon in Chicago, IL, has developed a neck lift technique that goes "deeper than deep" compared to previous approaches. He calls this technique the "5 Layer Neck"; a technique that has been presented to his peers at five international facial plastic surgery conferences and with results that can be seen on his social media platforms. But what is the 5 Layer Neck? In this podcast, Dr. Anil Shah goes in "deep" and talks about his technique and the different layers of the neck that he treats. -- For more about Dr. Anil Shah and his 5 Layer Neck Technique, visit his website at: https://www.shahfacialplastics.com/procedures/facelift

Now, rhinoplasty has finally advanced with the use of ultrasonic technology. And with this technology a new approach has evolved. Double-board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anil Shah, has developed the 5D Rhinoplasty approach.

So, this is an interesting podcast because I'm going behind the scenes and talking to one of the key researchers at Restoration Robotics and Venus Concept, and his name is Oggie Petrovic. Now, if you remember, I've interviewed him in the past. And so now I'm going to go a little bit more specifics on the new ARTAS iX system. It's a little bit of confusing nomenclature here because the previous system was called the "Artas 9" and "iX" in Roman Numerals is nine, as well. So, when patients ask for the latest system, oftentimes they'll ask for the nine or the iX, but generally speaking, it's the IX. It's a completely different system. So we're gonna talk heads to tails, what's going on? What's new with the system? What's coming up? And what are the capabilities of the system things we're gonna ask is it worth it for patients to get this? What's the upgrade? What kind of technology do they put into this? Oggie has a lot of experience in an area that I'm not as familiar with, which is including engineering, software engineering and robotics. So super excited to share this information with you. — ABOUT OUR TODAY’S GUEST Oggie Petrovic has been working for 14 years on robotic hair transplantation at Restoration Robotics and Venus Concept.
