Key quotes:

• "And I encourage people to wait until they're old enough, mature enough, to really know, to have their own identity, to know what's important to themselves, so that when they're making any choices, it is from a place of empowerment, a place of certainty, a place of confidence, a place of making a long term decision." — Dr. Larry Fan
• "Even in an era where we are so modernized and women have so many opportunities, the emphasis on looks is awful for so many of us." — Lisa Shield
• "What I tell people is, number one, if you have a problem that you're not happy with and it bothers you enough to be willing to get help, that's probably an appropriate time to get help, provided you understand, okay, what does the help involve and what kind of results can be expected?" — Dr. Larry Fan
• The best results are cases where people clearly look much, much better, but they also look very natural and very appealing, where there isn't any obvious sign it doesn't look like they've had surgery. That's the highest level of surgery when people look better, but it's actually undetectable." — Dr. Larry Fan
• "And I call my course my work the world's Cheapest facelift because these women start blossoming and coming back to life and this dark cloud of being single and feeling stigmatized and finally finding their power with men. And they literally look ten to 15 years younger at the end of twelve weeks." — Lisa Shield
• "I think there's a very big opportunity to not just improve our outer appearance, what I call our outer beauty, but also to improve our inner beauty." — Dr. Larry Fan
