Dr. Anthony Youn in the Media

I cringe every time I see a patient for a breast lift who is a smoker. I’m deathly afraid that despite my warnings, she will smoke before or after surgery and cause her nipples to turn black and fall off. Yes. Smokers who undergo breast lifts are at great risk of losing their nipples.

Dr. Anthony Youn in the Media

Here is the intro to my latest article on CNN.com: I make my living operating on people, but I don’t accept everyone.
