Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a board certified plastic surgeon and founder of BuildMyBod.com, a website that lets consumers search for plastic surgery pricing information and local doctors joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel to discuss the the CoolSculpting Procedure.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Jonathan Kaplan discuss the following: What is CoolSculpting?What kinds of patients are seeking CoolSculpting?Describe the results your practice is seeing with CoolSculpting?How does CoolSculpting benefit your practice?What is the latest CoolSculpting product development?
Duration: 9:36
Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a board certified plastic surgeon originally from Alexandria, LA, is now proud to call San Francisco home. After completing his plastic surgery fellowship at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic where he was trained by the same team that performed the first US face transplant, he practiced in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for six years before acquiring Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery in San Francisco.
While in Baton Rouge during his first six years in practice, Dr. Kaplan built a busy cosmetic practice. His area of focus ranged from facial to body cosmetic surgery, as well as cosmetic medicine, including injectibles such as BOTOX for wrinkles and fillers for smile lines. Dr. Kaplan’s brother-in-law Dr. Mark Hausmann is a weight loss surgeon in Baton Rouge, and this resulted in Dr. Kaplan gaining a great deal of experience in body contouring after massive weight loss.
Dr. Kaplan noticed that patients were coming to consultations without an appreciation for the different costs associated with plastic surgery. He found that most patients couldn’t find an estimate for plastic surgery on the internet and when they would call the doctor’s office, they would hear the same explanation. “The doctor can’t give estimates over the phone since surgical needs are different for everyone.” While it is true that everyone has unique needs, there’s nothing wrong with giving an estimate online so the patient can know if surgery is out of their budget.
From that realization, BuildMyBod.com was born. BuildMyBod is a website and iPhone/iPad app that Dr. Kaplan developed. It allows patients to find plastic surgeons in their area, peruse the various procedures the doctor offers and get itemized estimates on those procedures. In the process, Dr. Kaplan and the patient are connected through an email “wish list” that the patient submits. If the price is within the patient’s budget, this could lead to a consultation that is now more-informed and without the typical “sticker shock” that so many patients experience with their plastic surgeon.

Dr. Luis Macias, a physician with Marina Plastic Surgery in Marina del Ray, California who is bi-lingual and specializes in Latino plastic surgery joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel. Marina Plastic Surgery offers many different plastic surgery procedures both surgical and nonsurgical which are used and have been studied extensively.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Luis Macias discuss the following:We’ve heard a lot about fat transfers or grafting in plastic surgery but what does it all mean?Can it only be done during liposuction or are there new ways to use it?Is this a local procedure or do you need to be knocked out? What’s the recovery time?While new techniques include better liposuction devices that leave more fat cells intact for transfer, a new fact has come to light the last few years. Fat cells, it appears, are already rich in stem and regenerative cells and when harvested properly, may increase the survival of the transferred stem cells. Is this being done in clinical studies?What is the average cost of the procedure?Does getting a fat transfer improve one’s health and if so how? Duration: 7:35Dr. Luis H. Macias is a highly-trained plastic surgeon serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, specializing in aesthetic and complex reconstructive plastic surgery. A University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine alumni, Dr. Macias completed a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Mayo Clinic, followed by a fellowship in microvascular reconstructive surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
