Quotes from the episode:

"Most people have their own spectrum; you're not going to achieve something extreme without doing something extreme." - Dr. Chris Park

"The best patient is already pretty healthy, already paying attention to their body. They're not just coming in expecting surgery to fix everything." - Dr. Chris Park

"The Brazilian buttock lift is when you take fat from elsewhere and inject it into the buttock. You sculpt the hips, the waist, the abdomen, and then you are making the buttock larger. But it's the combination makes for the dramatic change." - Dr. Chris Park

"When you do liposuction in an area, you are removing fat cells. Nobody gains weight in other areas because we did liposuction." - Dr. Chris Park

"If your problem area has always been your stomach, and you come in for liposuction, and we make your stomach look so much better, a lot of those patients may not keep dieting and exercising because their area looks good. But, then they will gain that 10 pounds, but instead of one and a half of it go into their abdomen, all of it goes elsewhere." - Dr. Chris Park

"Fat grafting has exploded in the last 20, 30 years." - Dr. Chris Park

"Essentially injecting fat, we're pulling fat bulbs out of a patient, like tulip bulbs, and you're planting them back somewhere else." - Dr. Chris Park

"At a minimum, you look better where we took the fat from, and then the fat is just adding it somewhere else." - Dr. Chris Park

"Probably half of the work I do is insurance related, but it's not usually the stuff that everyone wants to talk about." - Dr. Chris Park

"While board certified is just a term, and every medical specialty has that, plastic surgery, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, really takes it upon themselves to look out for the safety and the reputation of plastic surgery in general." - Dr. Chris Park

"Just because a physician says 'I do plastic surgery or fat grafting' or whatever, it doesn't mean that they are a plastic surgeon." - Dr. Chris Park

"I'm here to keep people safe and treat people the way that I would want my own family members treated." - Dr. Chris Park

"My clinic, it's not Hollywood, we're here to help people. And so, there is really no age limit as long as you have an ethical and caring surgeon who's not just trying to run a business." - Dr. Chris Park
