S5E8: Exploring Plastic Surgery, Mental Health, and Body Image with Dr. Myla Bennett - a podcast by Terri Lomax & Dr. Dominique Broussard

from 2020-02-21T04:22:28

:: ::

In today’s episode, Terri and Dom are joined by Dr. Myla Bennett, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Georgia.

She is not your typical plastic surgeon. Dr. Myla is “pro doing things to make you feel good but anti ignoring what is going on inside that is affecting what you want to do on the outside.”

Your mental health is an important factor in your decision to have plastic surgery. Dr. Myla shares with us the “dark and dangerous” side of plastic surgery, the surgeries people regret and the impact it has on the individual and their romantic relationships. What are the red flags you need to avoid in a plastic surgeon? What do you need to consider in your life before having surgery? Listen in to Dr. Myla’s answers to those questions and more.

"Anytime an opportunity comes along and it violates unleashing a woman's inner and outer beauty, I'm not going to do it." - Dr. Myla Bennett
