Have you ever considered having plastic surgery ?

Some people don't have a choice.

That is, although when we think of plastic surgery we tend to associate with face lifts, breast enhancement  and tummy tucks the truth is plastic surgery is so much more than that.

In this program we will be looking at plastic surgery from all angles including the pros and cons of cosmetic procedures and how to choose a plastic surgeon, but also reconstructive surgery with particular focus on the wonderful work of a group of Australian surgeons and other health workers who provide hands on surgery and teaching in developing nations to correct deformities and treat disfiguring injuries
