Transitioning from plastic surgeon to sculpture artist - a podcast by Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

After 30 years as a plastic surgeon, Chris Edwards transitioned smoothly into a career as a sculptor. Chris is a former president of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, who initially chose plastic surgery all those years ago because of his interest in art.

He says learning and practicing art has improved his powers of observation. Chris firmly believes studying art or photography helps elevate the skills of a plastic surgeon.

Chris’s artwork will appear on the virtual gallery at this year’s RACS Annual Scientific Congress in May. Also, as part of the Congress’s opening plenary, Chris will give a presentation titled ‘The art of being a creative surgeon’.
