In this episode, we chat with Dr. Pouria Moradi, a renowned plastic surgeon and author of NORMAL: A Plastic Surgeon’s Letter to His Daughters About Body Image. The conversation delves into the complex world of plastic surgery, challenging the typical associations with procedures like breast augmentations and facelifts. Instead, Dr. Moradi emphasises how plastic surgery can help women of all ages feel "normal," making it a significant part of some women's aging well journey. The discussion touches on the meaning of "normal" from a plastic surgeon's perspective, exploring why Dr. Moradi chose this term for his book title. He shares insights into life as a plastic surgeon, the reactions he receives when he discusses his profession, and the most common cosmetic procedures that women seek, highlighting how these trends have evolved over time. For women considering a facelift, Dr. Moradi breaks down the process, including what to expect, the costs, downtime, risks, and who the ideal candidates are. He also shares stories of women who have undergone surgery and discusses the future of plastic surgery, including exciting new advancements in the field. The discussion is dedicated to women who choose plastic surgery, emphasising that it’s not always about "looking better" but about feeling normal and empowered. At The Aging Project, the message is clear: women should feel no guilt or shame in making choices that are right for them, whether that includes plastic surgery or not. The episode concludes with a reminder to age with kindness—towards ourselves and others.
