In this episode, Nada sits down with Expert Dr. Baker to equip women to make informed decisions when considering plastic surgery. This conversation will give you the language and tools you need to speak with your doctor, whether for cosmetic or functional reasons. Because plastic surgery seems taboo, even amongst friends, Nada wanted to create a space that wasn't prescriptive or judgemental. She invited Dr. Baker to share her expertise to educate listeners with a head-to-toe explanation of various procedures available.
