The Doctor Behind the ‘Birkin Body’

Join Plastic Surgery Practice Co-Chief Editors Alison Werner and Keri Stephens as they talk to Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC—a board-certified plastic surgeon and owner of Neinstein Plastic Surgery in New York City—who has been dubbed the surgeon’s surgeon. The podcast, which provides a deep dive into Neinstein’s distinctive practice culture, goes into the brain of the man behind the so-called “Birkin Body.”
 
Neinstein reveals why he set up shop above the iconic Bergdorf Goodman department store and what core principles shape Neinstein Plastic Surgery’s culture. One guiding principle, he explains, is collaboration. Neinstein says he constantly looks to his colleagues for feedback. “It is not a top-down, classic, siloed, corporate structure, where the boss is telling everyone what they’re doing wrong,” he says.
 
Neinstein also discusses his unique lifestyle, which he believes sets him up for success as a plastic surgeon, and what plastic surgeons should know before they post on social media. As a bonus, Neinstein shares what’s on his reading list. Believe us, this a podcast you won’t want to miss.
