My Surgeon Says...

Imagine losing 50, 60, even 70 kilos and being left carrying around several more kilos in excess skin that no amount of exercise could get rid of. For a lot of our patients, that's an everyday reality, and that's where today's topic comes in. We're continuing our Surgery Spotlight series with Dr. Richard Bloom and Dr. Kim Taylor, and today we're talking all things lower body lift. We talk about what makes an abdominoplasty different from a lower body lift, scar placement, and what recovery is really like when you have a scar going the whole way around your body. Plus you'll find out just how much excess skin our surgeons have removed from a single patient, and the biggest mistake they think other plastic surgeons make when it comes to planning a lower body lift. So whether you're considering surgery after massive weight loss, or you're just curious to see what happens behind the operating theater doors, this one is for you.

In the first episode of our new Surgery Spotlight series, plastic surgeons Dr Richard Bloom and Dr Kim Taylor take the abdominoplasty back to basics. What actually happens during surgery? Does everyone need a muscle repair? Can you fix loose skin in the gym? Where does the scar sit? And what is recovery really like? Then we get into the questions that don’t always make the standard FAQ list: why your stomach can still look rounded after surgery, what makes a good belly button, why some scars end up too high, what happens to the mons pubis, and some of the unexpected things surgeons have discovered once they’ve started operating.

Some cosmetic surgery trends come and go. But what happens when the consequences of a procedure can last much longer than the trend itself? In this episode of My Surgeon Says, Kate sits down with plastic surgeons Richard and Kim to discuss the operations they wish people would think twice about — from fox eye surgery and cosmetic leg lengthening to buccal fat removal, oversized breast implants, and aggressive liposuction. Plus, they discuss the cosmetic procedures that could create problems 10 or 20 years down the track — and why sometimes being a good surgeon means being willing to say no. Craving more?
