Back To Basics: Explaining Plastic Surgery Jargon

My Surgeon Says...

Show Notes

To make sure we're all on the same page, today we’re defining the terms and concepts we use all the time on this podcast and other videos. If you’re a dedicated listener to the pod, don't worry this is still worth a listen – Richard and Kim go on a bunch of interesting tangents and digressions.

We explain why we only use silicone implants, define medical terms like ptosis and grafts, and clarify why measurements don’t necessarily indicate impact when it comes to muscle separation.
