Encore: Boob Whisperer Dr. Schwartz: Implants, Lifts & Longevity
from What She’s Having | Midlife Women, Wellness & Reinvention · host Britney Semler and Jennifer Cataldo
They say life slows down after 40… we say it's just getting started. This week, we're joined by our friend (and board-certified "boob whisperer") Dr. Michael R. Schwartz, founder of Schwartz Aesthetic Institute in Westlake Village. We're getting into the real questions you actually ask your group chat: Saline vs. silicone (and why "gummy bear" implants changed the game) Under vs. over the muscle + what's trending now The truth about lifts vs. implants (and why skipping the lift can backfire) Can an implant "pop"? What rupture/deflation really looks like today The modern approach to "mommy makeovers" (and why Dr. Schwartz wants a new name for it) Tummy tucks without drains + what recovery really looks like Fat transfer: breast, face, and where it works best (and where he won't do it) Facelifts in your 40s and 50s: how techniques evolved + how long results can last The med-spa side: Botox/filler/laser maintenance + the growing longevity conversation (GLP-1s, peptides, hormone optimization) If you've ever wondered what's worth doing, what's not, and how to choose a doctor who's equal parts artist + scientist—this is your episode. Timestamps 0:00 Welcome to What She's Having 1:03 Introducing Dr. Michael R. Schwartz + "boob whisperer" energy 3:41 Does a surgeon "clock" bad work in public? 4:38 Rapid fire: silicone vs saline, under vs over, common sizes, inspo pics 5:29 Age ranges + "lift vs implant" reality check 6:16 Can implants pop? Ruptures vs saline "flat tire" 6:54 Big vs little: why Dr. Schwartz prefers smaller pretty breasts 7:37 "Hummer to Ferrari" + choosing what fits your body 9:08 Everyone's anatomy is different (why this is an art project) 11:42 Why patient experience + aftercare matter as much as results 13:27 Implant evolution: from saline era → modern cohesive gel 15:04 The "10–15 year replacement" myth (and what changed post-2012/2013) 16:13 Shape + projection + choosing implants by body measurements 17:23 Explants + "breast implant illness" convo (what science says vs reality) 19:16 Bras after surgery: timeline, underwire, sleeping in a bra 22:33 "Mommy makeover" rebrand + safety window for combined procedures 24:50 Fat grafting vs BBL (risk, regulation, why he keeps it conservative) 26:11 Fat transfer to breasts + composite augmentation 28:19 Best facial fat grafting zones (tear trough + apple of cheek) 29:10 Tummy tuck fears: downtime, standing up, and real recovery 29:53 "No pain, no drain tummy tuck" (technique updates) 31:11 Muscle repair + diastasis recti explained 32:31 Skin-only excision option (no muscle work) 33:22 Facelift techniques today: natural results + better scars 34:51 Where incisions are hidden + "maintenance facelift" idea 35:28 Ages for facelifts now + "too young" reality check 37:14 How long results last + when people come back 39:25 Med spa side + injectors, lasers, skin evaluations 41:17 Longevity: GLP-1s, peptides, wound healing, hormone optimization 42:58 BPC-157 talk + joint/GI support + his personal story 44:21 How to start the longevity component 45:10 Skincare basics: exfoliating polish, moisturizer/SPF tint 46:48 Custom compounded retinoid/brightening cream (strength matters) 49:18 Hair growth topical (women can use) 51:46 Where to book + products + spa layout 53:02 Why you started What She's Having + closing Guest info Dr. Michael R.
