Season Five of Plastic Surgery Untold launches at Octane 2026 with an in depth conversation on where facial rejuvenation is headed next, featuring Dr. Daniel Gould, MD, PhD. As facelift surgery continues to evolve, this episode focuses on how modern techniques are moving beyond simple skin tightening and into precise, anatomy driven restoration designed to create natural, long lasting results.

In this episode, the conversation covers:

• How facelift surgery has shifted from tension based techniques to deep plane and preservation focused approaches

• The role of detailed anatomic mapping, including facial ligaments and internal support structures

• Why repositioning tissue to its natural location creates softer, more authentic outcomes

• How regenerative strategies and refined fat transfer are improving skin quality and longevity

The discussion also explores the bigger picture of patient care, including pre operative optimization, long term planning, and the growing role of technology. With insights into how AI and improved communication tools are shaping the future of plastic surgery, this episode sets the tone for what 2026 and beyond will look like in aesthetic medicine.

Season Five begins with a clear message: better anatomy, better planning, and better education lead to better results.

The latest episode of Plastic Surgery Untold breaks down what surgeons really mean by the term gummy bear implant.These are highly cohesive gel implants designed to reduce rippling, hold their shape, and still feel soft and natural—earning their nickname because the gel sticks together like a gummy bear candy.

What sets them apart is the balance of structure and softness. Today's implants offer projection and fullness while staying flexible, making them an especially valuable option for patients who've lost breast volume after major weight changes, including those experiencing "Ozempic breast."

• Highly cohesive gel minimizes rippling
• Form-stable design adds shape and projection
• Softer feel for a natural look and touch

Every manufacturer has slightly different versions, so the right choice depends on each patient's anatomy and goals. These advances give surgeons more freedom to tailor breast enhancement for truly natural results.
