There's no shortage of plastic surgery advice online, but not all of it is rooted in fact.

Dr. Lawrence Bass introduces his "Facts and Fallacies" series designed to help you separate what's true from what just sounds convincing.

He explains why misinformation spreads so easily, from attention-driven media to the complexity of medical topics, and decodes the difference between evidence-based facts and personal opinion.

The goal is to help you think more critically and make decisions based on real, reliable information—not internet noise.
