Today, we have an informative chat with the celebrated plastic surgeon Dr. Carolyn Chang, from San Francisco, who shares her insights and thoughts about the societal consequences, moral implications, and realities of aesthetic improvement. We know this can be a hot-button topic for our AGEIST community, so not only do we discuss the pros and cons of aesthetic procedures, but we also get Dr. Chang's inside opinion on operations, and hear why some of her clients make this choice. From the risks associated with Cool Sculpting to the effectiveness of tummy tucks for people over 70 to the psychological and emotional aspects of plastic surgery, highlighting that it is more than just a vanity-driven choice. Join us for this conversation and let us know your thoughts on plastic surgery; I would love to field questions and comments in next week's show. Email me: [email protected]

Key Moments:

“It is surgery. It's not something you want to take lightly.”

“What I really enjoy in plastic surgery is the immediacy of the outcome and the joy that it gives people. It's a pretty simple thing. If you feel good about yourself, life changes.”

“So many more people get orthodontia as children, they don't really think about it quite the same way; but it is the same. You can see how good [Invisalign] made you feel. That's what's going on with plastic surgery.”

“Patients that I have are normal people. They're your neighbors, they're your brothers, they're your sisters, and they really just wanna fix something that bugs them.”
