Lower Body Lift: Everything You Need To Know | Surgery Spotlight
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.
As always, please rate and review wherever you listen. It really does help people find our little podcast.

Breast Reduction: Everything You Need To Know Before Surgery | Surgery Spotlight
Welcome to the second episode of our new Surgery Spotlight series: Breast Reductions!
Dr. Richard Bloom and Dr. Kim Taylor are taking it back to basics. We're answering everything you've ever wanted to know about a breast reduction or lift.
How small can I go? Will I lose nipple sensation? Will I still be able to breastfeed?
Then we get into the questions that don't make the standard FAQ list. Why less scarring isn't always better, what they do with the br**st tissue they do remove, and some of the more unexpected things they've discovered over the years.
Plus, a bonus, Kim reveals the largest breast reduction she's ever done. Spoiler alert, we're talking kilos, not grams.

Abdominoplasty: Everything You Need to Know | Surgery Spotlight
Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about having an abdominoplasty/ tummy tuck — including a few things you probably didn’t realise you should ask.
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.
Plus, after thousands of abdominoplasties between them, Richard and Kim share what they know and where other surgeons go wrong.
