What Does Plastic Surgery Cost Include? A Breakdown of Your Global Fee with Dr. Alain Polynice Body By Poly PodcastDr. Polynice explains what patients are paying for when quoted the cost of plastic surgery and advocates for a comprehensive “global” price that includes everything. It breaks down typical components of the fee: the surgeon’s fee for expertise, operating room costs at a surgery center or hospital, recovery at the center, and anesthesia services from an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. It also notes additional items that may be included, such as implants for breast augmentation, surgery-related products, preoperative aids like arnica for swelling, postoperative scar and massage products like lotion, silicone gel or tape, and compression garments for swelling management. Polynice includes postoperative care and does not charge for postoperative visits, even a year later, and encourages patients to ask for a clear itemized breakdown in their quote.00:00 What You Pay For00:21 Surgeon and Facility Fees00:47 Anesthesia Costs00:57 Implants and Supplies01:05 Pre and Post Op Products01:29 All Inclusive Global Fee01:40 Post Op Visits Included01:54 Ask for a Fee Breakdown02:01 Final Takeawayhttps://bodybypoly.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Breast Implant Safety and Informed ConsentThe script emphasizes the importance of detailed informed consent before breast implant surgery, highlighting that a thorough discussion of risks, benefits, and complications helps build a strong patient-doctor relationship and ensures patients understand their decision. It outlines potential surgical and implant-related risks such as malposition, bleeding, and infection, as well as long-term complications like capsular contracture (tightening of the capsule around the implant). It notes that patients range from young adults to older individuals, and stresses that implants are not lifetime devices; patients should expect that an exchange, revision, or additional implant-related surgery will likely be needed at some point. Despite implants remaining a popular procedure, comprehensive counseling is presented as essential.00:00 Breast Implant Safety Basics00:17 Informed Consent Matters00:42 Surgical and Long Term Risks01:21 Implants Are Not Lifetime01:35 Planning for Future Revisions01:53 Popularity and Final Takeawayshttps://www.turnermedicalarts.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Why Some Mommy Makeovers and Body Transformations Need Multiple SurgeriesDr. Alain Polynice explains why extensive body transformations and mommy makeovers are sometimes split into two or three separate surgeries for patient safety. When multiple procedures are needed—such as breast lift with augmentation, tummy tuck with liposuction or lower body lift, arm lift with lipo, and thigh lift with liposuction—doing everything at once may be unsafe. He limits total operative time to about six to seven hours because longer surgeries are associated with higher complication rates, and emphasizes that minimizing time helps improve outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. He typically combines tummy procedures with breast surgery first, then addresses arms, thighs, or face in later stages. He also recommends waiting at least six weeks (often six to eight weeks) between stages to allow proper recovery.00:00 Why Stage Surgeries00:28 Examples of Full Makeovers00:51 Safety and Time Limits01:20 Combining Procedures Strategically01:46 Planning Multiple Sessions02:05 Timing Between Surgerieshttps://bodybypoly.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Smaller Breast Implants, Big Expectations: Planning for Natural ResultsDr. Alain Polynice discusses the current trend toward smaller breast implants, noting that implant sizes in his practice have shifted from 400–450cc 20 years ago to 300–330cc 10 years ago, and now commonly as small as 175–195cc. He explains that achieving excellent results with less volume requires meticulous preoperative planning, including detailed anatomical examination, measuring base width and breast and nipple-to-fold distances, and assessing skin quality—especially in thinner patients. Choosing the right implant style and profile for the right patient is essential to create a well-shaped breast mound with a natural look. He views this “ballerina augmentation” trend positively because it avoids overstretching the skin and supports better long-term outcomes.00:00 Smaller Implants Rise00:31 How Sizes Changed00:50 Planning for Small Volume01:33 Skin Quality Matters01:58 Ballerina Augmentation Benefits02:06 Long Term Natural Resultshttps://bodybypoly.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Revision Plastic Surgery: Why Specialist Experience MattersDr. Alain Polynice explains that revision surgery is among the most complex areas of plastic surgery because surgeons must work around prior scars, internal scarring, existing or ruptured implants in revision breast procedures, and scar tissue or past liposuction that can cause contour deformities in revision body surgery. He emphasizes the importance of choosing a surgeon who specializes in revision procedures, doing thorough research, and asking many questions. He cautions against rushing into revision surgery with a practitioner who does not focus on these cases, noting that additional surgeries can increase healing time and the risk of complications with each subsequent operation.00:00 Why Revisions Are Hard00:34 Revision Breast Challenges00:58 Revision Body Contouring Issues01:16 Choosing the Right Surgeon01:36 Final Takeawayhttps://bodybypoly.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Rare Implant-Associated Cancers: What to Know with Dr. Alain Polynice/Body By Poly PodcastThis episode discusses key concerns related to breast implant surgery, including breast implant illness (BII), breast implant–associated large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), and breast implant–associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC). Dr. Polynice describes BII as vague but real symptoms—fatigue, mental fog, depression, rashes, and joint pain—that may appear after years with implants and often have no other identifiable diagnosis; implant removal can sometimes, but not always, relieve symptoms because implants are foreign bodies that can activate the immune system. The episode also explains that BIA-ALCL is a well-proven but extremely rare lymphoma (about 1 in 30,000 augmentations), more often linked to textured implants, typically presenting years later with swelling, fluid, or redness requiring fluid sampling and complete implant/capsule removal to prevent progression. BIA-SCC is even rarer, with a few hundred cases described globally, arising aggressively in the capsule.00:00 Breast Implant Risks Overview00:40 Breast Implant Illness Symptoms01:22 Removal and Symptom Relief02:02 BIA-ALCL Lymphoma Warning Signs02:57 BIA-SCC Rare Capsule Cancer03:23 Final Takeaways and Awarenesshttps://www.bodybypoly.com

Why Liposuction Patients Get Disappointed: Weight Loss vs. Body SculptingDr. Alain Polynice explains that patients may be disappointed after liposuction when it’s used for the wrong goals or the wrong candidate. Liposuction is a body sculpting and shaping procedure, not a weight-loss solution, and there are limits to how much fat can be safely removed. Being overly aggressive—especially in patients who are overweight—can worsen skin laxity and create loose skin. He notes that liposuction alone works best when the patient has a localized trouble spot and tight, high-quality skin that can re-drape after fat removal, while areas with existing loose skin or stretch marks may require added skin tightening (such as Renuvion) or even skin excision procedures like a tummy tuck or lift. He emphasizes the importance of being close to ideal weight and having a detailed consultation.00:00 Why Patients Disappointed00:44 Not Weight Loss01:01 Loose Skin Risk01:47 Who Is Ideal02:10 Add Skin Tightening02:48 Consultation And Next Stepshttps://www.bodybypoly.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@bodybypoly

Surgery Scars Explained: Keloids vs Hypertrophic Scars & How to Heal BetterDr. Alain Polynice explains that all surgery creates scars, but visibility varies due to genetics and technique. He distinguishes keloids, which grow beyond the original incision, from hypertrophic scars, which stay within the incision but may become wider or thicker. While genetics can’t be changed, scar outcomes can be improved through meticulous, delicate incisions and closures that minimize tissue damage, using tension-free closure with deeper stitches, and relying on internal sutures to avoid visible external stitch marks. Postoperatively, he emphasizes massage and pressure therapy, including silicone gel or silicone tape, and protecting scars from sun exposure with UV protection for up to a year or more. He also notes that treatments like laser and IPL can further minimize scar appearance even a year after surgery.00:00 Why Scars Happen00:54 Keloids vs Hypertrophic01:24 Surgical Technique Matters02:01 Tension Free Closure02:45 Post Op Scar Care02:58 Silicone and Sun Protection03:17 Lasers and Long Term Results03:30 Barely Noticeable Scar

Surgical Tourism: The Hidden Costs and Risks of Surgery AbroadDr. Alain Polynice discusses surgical tourism and the real costs and consequences of having surgery abroad, drawing on experience performing revision surgery for patients who return with complications. He emphasize's that many qualified surgeons exist worldwide, but patients should thoroughly research surgeon qualifications, reviews, and prior patients. A major risk is traveling home too soon after major procedures like mommy makeovers, tummy tucks, liposuction, and breast lifts, which can lead to seromas, bleeding, infections, and other issues—sometimes while patients still have drains. Dr. Polynice notes that cheaper surgery can end up costing more, especially when care is rushed, and stresses the importance of staying local for follow-up and having access to the operating surgeon to manage minor problems early. Polynice cautions that some destinations may lack U.S.-level certifications and safety controls.00:00 Surgical Tourism Overview00:44 Do Your Research01:04 Risks of Flying Home Early01:41 Hidden Costs and Rushed Care02:04 Plan for Local Recovery02:42 Follow Up and Access Issues03:12 Safety Standards and Buyer Bewarehttps://www.bodybypoly.comhttps://www.toutube.com/@bodybypoly

BBL Safety: How to Reduce Risks in a Brazilian Butt LiftDr. Alain Polynice, Body By Poly , explains that Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) remain popular but carry one of the highest mortality risks in plastic surgery, citing about a 1 in 15,000 chance of serious complication or death. It describes the procedure as fat harvested by liposuction from other body areas and transferred to the buttocks, emphasizing that safety depends on injecting fat only into the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin, not into the gluteal muscle. Injecting too deep can place fat into large veins within the muscle, causing a fat embolus that can travel to the lungs and lead to a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. Key safety points include choosing an experienced plastic surgeon who performs many BBLs, avoiding overfilling, and using safety measures such as ultrasound guidance to confirm injection depth. Dr.Polynice also describes using a slow, methodical technique to keep the cannula tip in the fatty layer and injecting conservatively, while warning that complications are more likely when procedures are done by poorly trained practitioners.00:00 BBL Risks Overview00:41 How BBL Works00:54 Safe Injection Depth01:05 Fat Embolism Explained01:24 Choosing a Skilled Surgeon01:34 Avoiding Overfilling01:48 Ultrasound Safety Measures02:08 Methodical Injection Technique02:34 Untrained Providers Warning02:43 Final Safety Takeawaybodybypoly.com

Dr. Alain Polynice Body By Poly Podcast gives his 5 non-negotiables before surgery. Before proceeding with major surgery or a major transformation: Patients must stop smoking due to wound-healing complications and increased infection risk; stop GLP-1 medications at least three weeks pre-op to reduce risks like regurgitation, aspiration, and post-op pneumonia; be close to an ideal weight with a BMI under 30 to lower complications have reliable follow-up access by staying nearby for at least one to two weeks after surgery, especially for out-of-state or international patients; and ensure the patient and surgeon are aligned on goals and expectations through a comprehensive preoperative consultation to avoid dissatisfaction.00:00 5 Non‑Negotiables Before a Major Surgery/Transformation00:12 Non‑Negotiable #1: Stop Smoking/Nicotine for Safe Healing00:34 Non‑Negotiable #2: Pause GLP‑1 Meds to Avoid Aspiration Risk00:53 Non‑Negotiable #3: Get BMI Under 30 for Better Outcomes01:21 Non‑Negotiable #4: Stay Nearby for Post‑Op Follow‑Up Access01:54 Non‑Negotiable #5: Align Expectations in a Thorough Pre‑Op Consult02:25 Wrap‑Up: What It Takes to Move Forward With a Big Transformationhttps://www.bodybypoly.com

In this episode, we address a common concern: whether breast implants increase the risk of breast cancer. The answer is clear—breast implants do not increase breast cancer risk. In fact, implants can sometimes aid in the detection of breast cancer by pushing breast tissue forward, making mammography easier. However, it's important to note that there is a rare association between textured implants and Breast Implant Associated Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This entity is rare, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 30,000 cases. While BIA-ALCL is something to be aware of, it does not change the overall fact that implants do not elevate breast cancer risk.00:00 Do Breast Implants Increase Breast Cancer Risk?01:00 Textured Implants and Large Cell Lymphoma02:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://www.youtube.com/@bodybypolybodybypoly.com

Body By Poly Podcast with Dr. Alain PolyniceDr. Alain Polynice discusses the common question of whether breast implants need to be exchanged every 10 years. He explains that while implants are designed to be sturdy and many patients have had them for decades without issues, they are not lifetime devices.
