Episode 157 hosts Dr Martina Lavery, a dental surgeon & facial aesthetic injector based in Sydney, Australia.

Martina joins us in the 4th Chapter of our mini-series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe.

Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.

We discuss:

- Martina's background and why she became a dentist

- Her motivations for training in cosmetic injectables 

- Her battle with AHPRA and the dental board due the ongoing anonymous complaints regarding dentists who inject 

- Why she did a Masters in Facial Aesthetics and what this has taught her

- Her current practice and scope of work

- How she's able to convert dental patients to aesthetic patients  

- Approaching a consultation from a dentists perspective

- Dealing with 'difficult' patients and why she thrives on this

- Her approach to Instagram and why she does it

We also ask every Injector Diaries guest:

- What's your favourite toxin and why

- What's your favourite filler and why

- What's your go-to cannula make and size?

- Aspiration, yes or no?
