My Surgeon Says...

Sofia is going to chat to us about preventative measures, how to know if you’re a good candidate for non-surgical skin tightening (or when a scalpel may be the only option) and which modalities actually work.

This week we’re tackling lipedema and lymphedema – two confusingly similar sounding conditions that are in fact, very different. We'll unpack causations, treatments and if there's any way to prevent the two from occurring.

Pigmentation is a helluva beast – you’ve got your hypers, your hypos, your genetically inherited. You’ve got pigmentation caused by hormonal fluctuations, sun exposure, inflammation, ageing and even medications.

That is to say, we'll all probably experience pigmentation at some point so today, we're talking prevention, treatment, and what causes pigmentation to begin with.

Ahh cellulite, a monster every woman learns to fear from as early as her preteens, but did you know its very existence is a relatively new affliction?

This week, we’re going to chat about what cellulite actually is, why it’s an invented disease and which of the many, many treatments posted online actually work.

We’re heading a little further north than our usual operating zone today and explaining what’s involved with a whole bunch of face surgeries. We’ve got the usual heavy hitters–like face and brow lifts–as well as operations you’ve probably never thought of–did you know you can create your own dimples???

We hear plenty of assumptions, rumours and myths around surgery at Re. so we’ve gathered the best of the best surgeons to debunk some common misconceptions.

From the crucial double espresso at 5am, to how exactly he breaks up the super long surgeries and even the most common question he gets asked, if you’ve ever wondered what’s going on while you’re under general, you’re about to find out…

This week, we're joined by Jessie Carr, a young woman who thought she was going for quick lunch time procedure but ended up battling months of bulging horns and a swollen forehead to envy Megamind's.

Dr Richard Bloom also gives us a breakdown of what exactly threads are and if they're worth the pain.

From reconstructive surgery dating all the way back to Ancient Egypt to deep plane facelifts in 1916 (terrifying), plastic surgery has a fascinating and gory past.
