Ep 115 - The dark side of cosmetic surgery with Maddison Johnstone

Have you ever considered how cosmetic procedures are communicated in their advertising, and what impact that has on the individual as well as societal wellbeing?

This week's episode has consumer advocate Maddison Johnstone joining me, sharing about her work to ensure potential (and actual) patients of cosmetic surgery are better informed in their decision-making.

Maddison covers: 

•  the risks of elective cosmetic surgery that have often been left out of the conversations doctors have with their potential patients
• why communication in these procedures and advertising is important
• some pretty scary statistics arounds those risks
• what happens when people make decisions based on misinformation, including societal impacts
• and what would happen when people are empowered to make their decisions from a fully-informed place.
