Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr Carson Williams | The Gillett Health Podcast #83

About this video

Gillett interviews facial plastic surgeon Dr. Carson Williams in a wide-ranging aesthetics overview spanning peptides, Botox, microneedling, lasers, chemical sunscreens, and surgery. Williams describes his path from ENT training into facial plastics and argues that a degree of vanity is a healthy motivator across health and life goals. The two explain the difference between functional and cosmetic nasal surgery and why timing procedures around physical maturity matters for younger patients. Throughout, the emphasis is on proportion and restraint: knowing where an average person should draw the line with interventions, and closing with the claim that a consistent, inexpensive daily skincare routine — cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and a retinoid — delivers most of the long-term benefit.
