Q: What is your personal daily skincare regimen? I have the same routine every-day and I swear by it. I use the Nassif MD Under Eye Smoother, then a bit of my Deco-Lift cream to tighten up my neck. I use the Forehead Line Eraser over my entire face, and lastly, my Hydro-Screen on top. When I’m getting ready for bed, I add my Detox Pads to that same routine. I’ve been doing this for over 2 years! Q: What products do you recommend every man use? I recommend the above routine to all men, but I’d also add in my Gentle Cleanser for anyone who needs extra cleansing. If someone wants to start out slow and then build their way up, I highly recommend starting with the Detox Pads. They’re an excellent source of exfoliation, they remove dirt and makeup better than soap and water, and they help to prevent acne. They’re powerful!

Q: How do you manage your time with so many different businesses and obligations? I prioritize getting up early to work out with my trainer. That helps set my mind for the 16-hour work day ahead. I recommend organizing your office so you’re more efficient. Create a system where you’re able to handle the tasks at hand. Also, learn to delegate! Q: What do you think is the secret to maintaining a youthful appearance? We all experience changes in our skin as we age. That’s just nature, but you can fight it. First, stay out of the sun. Also, use 50 SPF or higher and get plenty of sleep. DO NOT SMOKE, and of course, exercise regularly, stay hydrated (8 glasses per day), and maintain a protein rich diet.

Q: How do I know what to look for in skin care products when deciding on my own regimen?

You want to make sure your products have the right amount of active ingredients and pay attention to what they are. Yes, it has to feel good, but it also has to work. Q: How soon after surgery can someone participate in sports again?

It’s always best to wait. If you just want to go to the gym, I’d say about four weeks. However, to do a maximum workout, you’ll need about six weeks. If you’re extremely active and participate in contact sports of any kind, I suggest waiting a minimum of six months. Of course, you can do a little bit of walking or even a slight jog after three weeks, but you have to listen to what your body tells you. Q: What are some of the biggest mistakes people make before getting plastic surgery?

They don’t do their research, or they try to go for the best price. Don’t do plastic surgery because there’s a bargain. Invest in yourself and your body. Q: What’s one thing you love most about being a plastic surgeon? Confidence can make or break a person and most of the time, the roots of our insecurities stem from how we feel about our personal appearance. I get to change that and watch my patients thrive with confidence when they look in the mirror for the first time. It can be a complete game changer for some and I like to know that I helped them thrive. If you’re looking to make a change from the comfort of your own home without going under the knife, Nassif MD Skincare Bio-Clock Dermaceuticals just might be the perfect solution.
