Show Notes

What if the cosmetic procedures that look the easiest are actually the hardest to get right?

In this episode of My Surgeon Says, Melbourne-based plastic surgeons Dr Richard Bloom and Dr Kim Taylor reveal which operations they find the most technically and mentally challenging—and their answers might surprise you.

From breast augmentations and liposuction to facelifts, breast reduction, microsurgery, and body contouring, we discuss why experience completely changes the way surgeons think about "easy" procedures, which operations have the smallest margin for error, and why some surgeries become more intimidating as your expertise grows.

Whether you're considering cosmetic surgery, work in healthcare, or are simply fascinated by what happens behind the operating theatre doors, this episode offers an honest look at the realities of plastic surgery.
