In case you missed it, snap chatting surgery is a thing. If you are asking yourself what exactly is snapchat then you probably have no idea what this blog is all about. Let me fill you in.
Snapchat is the latest trend in social media. It allows users to post self-destructing messages, pictures and videos to individual users or to post them as a “snap story”.
Rated only behind Facebook as the most engaging social media platform, snapchat is attractive to surgeons who don’t enjoy the censorship from Facebook and Instagram.
We were first introduced to the world of snapchat surgery by the one and only Dr Miami (snapchat username: therealdrmiami). Famous for his love of trap music and big booties, Dr Miami has up to 1 million viewers tuning in to watch him snap his way through Monday.
Here in the land of Oz, popular Sydney Plastic Surgeon Dr Tavakoli (snapchat: Drtavakoli2) has taken the charge and opened up his doors into the operating theatre. From pre operative marking to patients follow ups in the clinic, Dr Tavakoli shares it all with the thousands of viewers who religiously tune in for their daily dose of Tav TV.
Taking a different approach, Hunter Plastic Surgery have also jumped on board with the snapchat phenomena opting to “show more of the vibe of our tribe”. Practice director, Amber Moncrieff says that don’t to live surgery because it is not their demographic but feels showing “behind the scenes content helps people understand who they are partnering with on their surgical journey.”
Hunter Plastic Surgery happen to be the biggest CoolSculpting provider in the Country so expect to see plenty of fat freezing on their snapchat story.
Another one of PSF very own surgeons, Dr Sam Cunneen is a fan of snap chatting his days in theatre but his snaps outside of the operating room are equally as entertaining.
Dr Cunneen is not afraid to show all parts of the surgery and regularly gives us an insight into the non cosmetic procedures that plastic and reconstructive surgeons perform. His recent snapchat surgery removing a melanoma from a male patients neck was graphic but educational. We certainly have been slip, slop slapping after that one Dr Sam !!!
If you are thinking about having cosmetic surgery definitely get on snapchat and take a look. The snaps are both educational and entertaining and can really help prepare patients for what to expect for their own procedures.
We have compiled a list of our favourite cosmetic snapchat accounts below. Leave a comment below for your favourite snap chatters!!!

It might sound strange to some, but there are plenty of women who are concerned their new assets might make them look frumpy or matronly and rightly so.
Here are our tip tips for making sure your new assets don’t make you look bigger then you actually are;
2. Dress Code
No matter what implant you choose, there are certain style of clothing that are going to make anyone with a bigger bust look frumpy. Opt for more fitted tops and dresses and remember the neckline matters. V necks, scoop necks and sweat heart necklines are all going to flatter your new assets.
Styles to avoid include:
1. Oversized, loose fitting or tenty style dresses and baggy tops: Unless this style has a lower neckline, it will only make you look a few kgs heavier

Dr Kourosh Tavakoli: Rhinoplasty
Many people are dissatisfied with their nose either because of the appearance, breathing difficulty or both.
The best candidates for a rhinoplasty are those who are looking for an improvement in the way they look, not those searching for perfection.
Today, the trend in rhinoplasty is all about the ‘natural’ look away from the operated look from the 80’s seen on so many Hollywood stars.
The ideal age for Rhinoplasty is between 20-40. Between the ages of 16-20 the surgeon needs to make an assessment based on physical and psychological maturity. After the age of 40 the Rhinoplasty surgeon needs to take the patients skin quality into account as the cosmetic result can be affected by excess nasal tip swelling especially if the patient has very thick, oily and sebaceous skin.
*Dr Tavakoli is a specialist Plastic Surgeon with an interest in Rhinoplasty for cosmetic and functional purposes. He has performed around 750 cosmetic Rhinoplasty cases. Dr Tavakoli performs both cosmetic Rhinoplasty and also functional Septoplasty and Turbinoplasty for breathing problems.

The cosmetic sphere is constantly changing with new developments in technology, products and surgical techniques. Here is our list of the top 7 Cosmetic Surgery procedures that will dominate 2017
1. Fat grafting
2016 saw some of Australia’s leading plastic surgeons take to using fat grafting as an accompaniment to regular plastic surgery procedures such as facelift and breast augmentation.
We bet in 2017 you will see more people opting for fat grafting in place of fillers in the face and of course, redistribution of larger volumes of fat to the breast (as a stand alone procedure) and the buttock.
2. Non surgical fat reduction
In 2016 cool sculpting explode in the cosmetic surgery world. If it is good enough for the Kardashians then its good enough for us right!
As other brands develop technology to eliminate fat, either through cool technology such as Coolscupliting, cool tech and Clatuu or through heating technology such as Sculpture, one this is for sure, non surgical fat reduction is going to become way more mainstream in 2017. Goodbye saddlebags!!!
3. Kybella – Deoxycholic acid (Fat dissolving injections):
Rumoured to be available in Australia as soon as next month, Deoxycholic acid (marketed overseas as Kybella) is a chemical naturally found in the body used to absorb fats.
Up to 50 injections are placed into the neck to dissolve fat and get rid of that pesky double chin.
4. Boobs boobs boobs
Breast augmentation continually tops the charts year after year for plastic surgery procedures performed so its no surprise its on our list for 2017. However, we think in 2017 your going to see the breast augmentation trend steer towards the more natural, in proportion look that has people thinking has she or hasn’t she.
5. Microneedling
With raving fans such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and yours truly, we predict micro needling is going to become even more popular in 2017.
Who doesn’t love tighter pores, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, a smoother and more even complexion with minimal downtime?
6. Teeth straightening
With cosmetic dentistry becoming more accessible and the advent of adult friendly teeth straightening solutions such as Invisalign, clear braces and lingual braces, we bet your going to see more adults getting their pearly whites in order. After all, nothing shines brighter then a beautiful smile
7. Booty Booty Booty Yeah
Another one we can credit to the Kardashian effect we are positive the Brazilian Butt Lift procedures will only get more popular in 2017. Who doesn’t love the idea of full body liposculture with the excess fat being injected into your derriere? We predict your going to hear lots about the S-Curve booty.
