Been thinking of getting a nip, tuck, lift, or trim?
It might be hard to imagine, but not long ago in a time before Kim Kardashian and Pamela Anderson, it was taboo to receive – or even discuss – plastic surgery. A growing candidness for cosmetic enhancements is changing the way we discuss and relate to plastic surgery, with an American consumer survey (conducted by The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery) showing that at least 70% of Americans have at one time or another considered getting work done. While we don’t have Australian studies at this time to compare, our similar social trends indicate that growing candidness as well as technological advancements is continuing to increase the popularity of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures in Australia.
If you’ve been thinking of getting a nip, tuck, lift, or trim, here’s our guide of some of the most-trusted plastic surgery specialists in Brisbane, so that you can chase your aesthetic goals with confidence.
