S2E32 - Dr. John Mesa

In this video podcast Will Love welcomes world-renowned surgeon to the stars, Dr. John Mesa! The #1 doctor for buccal fat removal, Dr. Mesa reveals why this is Hollywood's best kept secret. The innovator behind plastic surgery performed under local anesthesia, we learn how Dr. Mesa is able to perform many complex surgeries without patients having to go under. Dr. Mesa details the risks that come with general anesthesia and reveals the top three procedures men and women are getting today. We discuss the stigma that comes with plastic surgery and if there is a double standard in it being more socially acceptable for women and still a scarlet letter for men. We learn of Dr. Mesa's inspirational journey from Medellín Colombia to the US, growing up in a conservative Colombian family, his personal struggles, intense coming out experience at 40, why he suggests coming out before having children, and his happy ending. Dr. John Mesa is a Harvard-trained, triple fellowship plastic surgeon, who currently operates three thriving locations in Livingston NJ, Manhattan, and Miami. Currently buccal fat removal surgery, extended chin/jawline/neck liposuction, filler enhancement, and face/neck lifts are the most popular surgeries being performed.
