About this episode
Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Kourosh Tavakoli joins us to discuss the latest trends and innovations in plastic surgery, starting with the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs and their significant impact on surgical trends and procedures.
We then go deep on current preferences in breast aesthetics and the evolution of techniques, including implant technology, lipofilling and the use of mesh for internal bra support. We also cover the rare complications colloquially known as breast implant illness and breast implant associated cancer.
Finally we discuss the challenges Australian surgeons face under stricter marketing regulations, the pros and cons of patient education on social media, and the hurdles for new plastic surgeons.
