James Koehler, MD - Dr. James Koehler is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with an impressive list of academic and professional achievements. From breast augmentation and tummy tuck to face lift and eyelid surgery, women and men from all over the South and across the country seek Dr. Koehler for the aesthetic results he delivers and the stellar experience he and his team are known for.

His patients love him for his charm and warm sense of humor, and when you meet him, it is abundantly clear how he has the best interests of each patient near his heart. Supporting him, Dr. Koehler’s staff goes above and beyond to create an exceptional experience for every patient, no matter how big or small the concern.

Dr. Koehler first became interested in a surgical career during a general practice residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. During his training at Harborview Medical Center, he found he was armed with the skilled hands and keen eye for detail required for the technical demands of surgery.

After completing a general surgery internship, Dr. Koehler further pursued his interests in maxillofacial surgery at the University of Alabama. He then completed a facial cosmetic surgery fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Peter Waite, a past president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.

He later continued his training and completed two years of Fellowship in full body cosmetic surgery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After caring for patients in Tulsa from 2006 to 2014, Dr. Koehler had the opportunity to take over the plastic surgery practice of a respected plastic surgeon in Fairhope, Alabama. Happy to return to his home state after decades away, he ventured forward to continue specializing in cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body.

Vincent Gardner, MD -  With more than 20 years of experience in both general and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Vincent Gardner brings a unique blend of skill, compassion, and perspective to our team.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Gardner cared for many patients who had undergone bariatric surgery.

Significant weight loss, whether from medication or lifestyle, can pull volume out of your cheeks, jawline, and neck and leave a face that looks years — sometimes a decade — older than the body it's attached to.

Dr. Koehler explains why a fuller face actually reads as younger, especially in people over 50, and why "Ozempic face" isn't really about the medication at all. The culprit is the scale of the weight loss. Lose five pounds and your face probably looks fine. Lose 40 or 50 and you may not recognize what's looking back at you.

When it comes to solutions, the call is never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Koehler separates two distinct problems — volume loss and skin laxity — and explains why fixing one without addressing the other rarely gives a satisfying result. He walks through when filler makes sense, how facial fat grafting actually works (including the role of platelet rich plasma), and when a facelift is the only thing that will do the job — even in someone in their 30s or early 40s.

There's also the timing question. Should you wait until you hit your goal weight before doing anything? What if you plan to stay on GLP-1s indefinitely? And what do you do if you're watching your face change month over month right now? Dr. Koehler has a clear framework for all of it.

Questions answered by this episode:

1. What is Ozempic face and is it actually caused by GLP-1 medications?
2. Why does losing weight make your face look older?
3. How much weight loss does it take before you see it in your face?
4. Does skin tighten on its own after major weight loss?
5. What is the difference between filler, fat grafting, and a facelift for facial volume loss?
6. How does facial fat grafting work and where does the fat come from?
7. Can someone in their 30s or early 40s be a facelift candidate?
8. Should you wait until you reach your goal weight before getting a facelift?
9. If you plan to stay on GLP-1s long-term, does that change what a surgeon recommends
10. When would a surgeon recommend cheek implants instead of fat grafting?

The combinations walking into our office at Eastern Shore are wild now. Someone had a Roux-en-Y a decade ago, regained, and dropped 50 more pounds on Wegovy. Someone else lost 160 pounds on Ozempic alone. Dr. Gardner explains why how you lost it matters as much as how much, and why medically supervised fasting hospitals in Europe show that gradual loss does something different for the dermis than a fast injection.

The biggest myth he wants to bust: that GLP-1s will replace cosmetic surgery. The opposite is happening. Collagen and elastin don’t snap back when they’ve been stretched past their limit, and the people now booking arm lifts, buttock revisions, and abdominal pannus removals aren’t going anywhere.

Plus: why he wants you 10 to 15 pounds from your goal before booking a tummy tuck, the two-week pre-op pause every weight loss medication user has to follow, and why a non-surgical skin tightening device is the wrong first move when you have stretch marks and a thin dermis.

Questions answered by this episode:

1. Can I have skin removal surgery while still on Ozempic or Wegovy?
2. How long do I have to stop GLP-1 medication before cosmetic surgery?
3. Is the skin different after GLP-1 weight loss versus gastric bypass?
4. Do I have to lose all my weight before booking a tummy tuck?
5. How much weight do I need to lose before plastic surgery after GLP-1s?
6. Will non-surgical skin tightening work for massive weight loss skin?
7. What happens to my surgical results if I gain weight back?
8. Why do people sometimes need a second surgery after GLP-1 weight loss?
9. Can liposuction take the place of a tummy tuck after weight loss?
10. Should I stay on a GLP-1 forever or wean off the dose?

A lot of disappointment traces back to one misunderstanding. The word “facelift” doesn't mean “make me look younger.” It addresses the lower face and neck, with some improvement to the cheek. It doesn't lift the brow, fix the eyelids, or erase fine lines. People who came in wanting all of that and only got one of them weren't bad surgical cases — they got the wrong procedure.

Dr. Koehler walks through what he checks for when he assesses someone else's facelift: incision design, whether other procedures should have been done at the same time, and whether skin quality is doing the result any favors. He also names the technical tells he can spot from across the room, like a pixie ear from over-tightening, which is the kind of thing that shows up in side-by-side photos of public figures and ignites Instagram conspiracy theories.

Healing is its own beast in a revision. Slower dissection through scar tissue, longer operative time, and a higher risk of skin loss or nerve injury are all part of the trade. Bone structure and skin elasticity cap what any surgeon can deliver, and Dr. Koehler shares the line he uses on people whose expectations have outrun their anatomy: the enemy of good is better.

Surgeons are vetting you back. Dr. Koehler explains the questions running through his head: Is the decision yours, or is your spouse driving the conversation? Are your expectations grounded in your actual anatomy, or in someone else's before-and-after? Is something else going on — a recent loss, a sudden upheaval — that might mean this isn't the right time to make a permanent change?

On your side, Dr. Gardner walks through what to vet for: real experience with the specific procedure you want, before-and-afters that look like you, post-op accessibility that doesn't drop off after the stitches come out, and an office-based facility that's accredited. 

Alabama's new rules now require accreditation for office-based surgery, but it's worth confirming. And if a quote comes back $10,000 below everyone else's, that's the kind of bargain that costs you later.

The question nobody asks but everybody should: what's the revision policy? Every procedure carries a revision rate. Knowing in advance how your surgeon handles touch-ups, and what they cost, is the difference between an awkward conversation and a fair one. The doctors share what to ask, how to ask it, and what a good answer sounds like.

Kirstin had been bothered by her neck for years. She finally booked the procedure that fixed it — a deep neck lift — and came back to talk through what it actually involves. Dr. James Koehler walks through the deeper anatomy: contouring the digastric muscles, trimming the deeper fat pads, and shaving down the submandibular glands when they're hanging too low.

He also explains why a less experienced surgeon would have offered her liposuction, and why the wrong procedure can leave you with 20 percent of the result you'd get from the right one. Dr. Vincent Gardner joins to cover recovery — Kirstin was back at work three days after surgery, and her bruising was gone in four days with Dermacut.

They also talk about why some "minimally invasive" alternatives — Kybella and Sculptra in particular — can quietly sabotage a future facelift by creating scarring that a surgeon later has to work around. If you've ever wondered why no amount of weight loss seems to change the shape of your neck, this one tells you why — and what to look for when you're choosing a surgeon to do something about it.

The truth is, no amount of exercise can tighten loose skin. That’s where an arm lift comes in. Dr. Koehler, Dr. Gardner, and Kirstin explain how the procedure removes extra skin and reshapes the arms for a smoother, more toned look.

They clarify that while there are non-surgical skin tightening options, they’re best for mild cases. If there’s a lot of extra skin, surgery is the only way to truly see a big change.

Recovery takes a little patience—there’s swelling, and you’ll need to avoid lifting your arms too much at first—but results are long-lasting as long as your weight stays stable.

Most people say it’s totally worth it for the confidence boost, especially those who’ve worked hard to lose weight. It’s not a “shrink wrap” fix, and scars are part of the tradeoff, but for many, the payoff is life-changing.

Most people go under the muscle because it gives a more natural look and lowers the risk of capsular contracture.

Dr. Koehler, Dr. Gardner and Kirstin explain how your body type, fitness level, and goals all play into what’s best for you. Above the muscle can work great for some athletes or people with enough natural tissue, but for most, under the muscle just makes sense.

They also clear up a few myths, like needing new implants every 10 years, and talk honestly about complications like animation deformity and capsular contracture.

Bottom line: there’s no one “right” answer. Have an open chat with a surgeon you trust, listen to your body, and make the choice that fits your lifestyle.

A tummy tuck often includes repairing these muscles by bringing them back to the midline. This step is key to restoring strength, stability, and a flatter abdominal contour.

Dr. James Koehler and Dr. Vincent Gardner discuss what causes diastasis recti, why repair is important, and what recovery looks like after a tummy tuck. They also stress the importance of maintaining results with healthy weight management.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Gardner cared for many patients who had undergone bariatric surgery. Witnessing how excess skin often affected their confidence is what sparked his interest in cosmetic surgery. He’s passionate about helping people reach that “reveal moment” where they can finally see and feel the results of their hard work.

In addition to his cosmetic focus, Dr. Gardner has spent more than two decades treating venous disorders. His minimally invasive vein procedures restore comfort, energy, and confidence—helping patients feel like themselves again.

Faith also plays a meaningful role in his approach. Dr. Gardner often prays with patients, supporting healing in both body and spirit.

Here in the South, sleeveless season is long, but saggy arm skin can make people cover up. Arm lifts don’t get enough attention, but they can be game-changing for those with “bat wings,” especially since the gym won’t tighten loose skin.

If you’re after shape over size, the Skinny BBL is all about subtle contouring rather than dramatic curves.

One of the biggest signs of aging? Hollows, bags and sags in the eyelids that make people say, “You look tired.” Eyelid surgery can fix that, and when done right, no one will even know. Combine it with other procedures, and the results are even better.

A brow lift can open up the eyes, while fat removal and repositioning help smooth out puffiness and hollows for a more balanced look.

Sometimes fat is gently taken from the abdomen and placed under the eyes to restore volume. A CO2 laser can then tighten and brighten the skin for a final touch.

Dr. Koehler explains how the eyes change with age, why filler doesn’t mix well with eyelid surgery, and whether men are as bothered by tired eyes as women.

A breast lift (or as Dr. Koehler calls it, a “de-sagging” procedure) reshapes and lifts the breasts but doesn’t add fullness. That’s where implants come in.

But here’s the catch: combining both procedures has a 25% revision rate. It’s one of the most complex breast surgeries, requiring precise alignment to get the best results.

So, should you do both at once or stage them separately? What are the pros and cons? Who’s a good candidate for each approach? Dr. Koehler tailors his recommendations based on your anatomy and goals—but he won’t budge when it comes to patient safety.

Find out why some people must stage their procedures, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it, the risks of combining a lift and augmentation, and how long you need to wait between surgeries.

Most men want to look younger and more professional. Popular procedures include liposuction, male breast reduction to get rid of “man boobs,” and tummy tucks after weight loss. Eyelid surgery is also a favorite for tired eyes, and chin implants and rhinoplasty are a great combo for a more balanced face.

When it comes to non-surgical treatments, men love Bro-tox, laser hair removal, and MiraDry for excessive sweating.

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin cover:

• How recovery is different for men
• Unique challenges when treating men with procedures like Botox or liposuction
• What HD lipo is and why it’s gaining popularity
• What causes gynecomastia and how it’s treated
• The key difference between tummy tucks for men and women

Every face lift is customized—there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Koehler emphasizes that the goal is to achieve a natural look, and a surgeon's skill is crucial in making that happen. 

While individual results may vary, many people find that deep plane face lifts offer a faster recovery and more natural-looking results that last longer than SMAS face lifts.  

The longevity of results depends on factors like your age and skin, but ideally, you’ll look better in ten years than if you hadn’t had the surgery!

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin also cover:

• How face lifts have evolved over the years since the skin-only days (yikes)
• How we work around beards for incisions
• Scar locations for each technique
• What exactly deep plane means
• The meaning of SMAS (it’s not just a random acronym)

Treatments like radiofrequency microneedling and CO2 laser resurfacing are great for boosting skin texture and tone, but they won't change the shape of your neck. Botox smooths out those neck bands, and fillers give your chin a bit more definition. 

But if you're dealing with more noticeable sagging, only surgery like a neck lift or lower face lift will give you more dramatic, longer-lasting results. 

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin dive into:

• Why non-surgical solutions that sound too good to be true might not be all they’re cracked up to be
• Recovery times for isolated neck lifts vs. full face and neck lifts
• Why choosing a skilled surgeon matters
• What causes neck sagging and how to prevent it
• Why neck lipo may not be the best option

Entering your 30’s calls for a solid anti-aging treatment plan you can stick to. Start with a nightly skin care ritual and don’t be out sun-worshiping with no SPF.

How quickly our skin ages depends on lots of factors—some within our control, others not so much. Find out when it’s time to start getting Botox, fillers and microneedling and which areas we treat with them.

And what about cosmetic surgery? Find out if anything surgical should be on your radar in your 30’s.

Although Dr. Koehler finds the term “mommy makeover” to be overused, it represents the surgical options designed to get the pre-kids body back. Most commonly, it’s the breasts and tummy.

Some women just need a breast augmentation and tummy tuck, others need a breast lift with implants and tummy tuck, and others need it all: breast lift with implants, tummy tuck, liposuction, and fat transfer to the buttocks. And don’t worry, a BBL doesn’t have to be a dramatic and disproportionately large backside. In reality, a little fat grafting to the behind is an art form.

Get the important mommy makeover facts straight from the “belly button king:”

• Should you wait until you’re done having children?
• How long after pregnancy and breastfeeding should you wait to get a mommy makeover?
• How long does it take?
• How do you know if you need a breast augmentation alone or a breast augmentation with a lift?
• Where are breast lift and tummy tuck incisions?
• What can we do about C-section scars or stretch marks?
• Are there BMI restrictions?

Eyelid surgery techniques differ for men and women. Unless you’re going for a feminine look, you don't want to show much upper eyelid as a man. Dr. Koehler restores men’s eyes without throwing their masculinity out the window.

For anyone thinking about eyelid surgery, Kirstin asks Dr. Koehler the important questions, including:

• What's the average age to get a blepharoplasty?
• Where is the incision made?
• How do I know if I need a brow lift too?
• Can’t I just get filler to fix the hollowing under my eyes?
• When can I go back to work again?
• When can I wear makeup?
• Does insurance ever cover eyelid surgery?

In the course of teaching this course, Dr. Koehler has also learned a thing or two, refining his own approach to delivering natural, fresh-looking results for his patients.

For those of us who can’t go inside the doors of an exclusive course like this, Kirstin gets the scoop on what it’s like to work with cadavers (which backfires a bit) and spend a long weekend with other cosmetic surgeons from all over the world. In a nutshell, “smart people making smart people smarter.”

Unapologetically candid with patients, if someone’s concerns call for additional procedures he may recommend some TLC to the eyes because, after all, the curtains need to match the carpet. His #1 rule is to always achieve a natural look with the least noticeable scars and the least risk.

Dr. Koehler answers FAQs about the face lift, including:

• How can you postpone the need for it?
• How long do face lift results last?
• When will you look good, feel good, and be ready to do stuff?
• Is a mini face lift enough for anyone?
• Where are incisions?
