Episode 233 hosts Dr Alexander Rivkin, an ENT surgeon from California, USA. 

For years injectors have argued bitterly about the pros and cons of theoretical safety manoeuvres performed when injecting fillers. These techniques include aspiration, small or larger movements of the needle tip or even aspiration and moving combined. 

We explore the rationale proposed for these procedures and try to understand the merits and limitations of what they might offers us.

Episode 232 hosts Dr Pouria Moradi, a Plastic Surgeon & Reconstructive Surgeon from Sydney, Australia.

Pouria recently published his first book entitled 'Normal - A Plastic Surgeon's letter to his daughter about body image'. He first got the idea for the book as he watched his seven year old daughter participating in a swimming carnival. She seemed so proud of herself and completely unaware of how she looked in her cute swimming costume.

But it dawned on him juggling his role as a father and Plastic Surgeon - how long would this innocence would last? Might she soon start asking questions about her body? And if so, what should a father who offers cosmetic surgery every day to other women say?

This is a deep conversation about body image, parenting, ethics and ultimately, we try to understand what is 'normal'?
