A growing number of patients are traveling to get their cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done. Whether overseas or more recently to surgery centers in Florida, patients see fantastic pictures on social media, travel for surgery, and then return home - sometimes with problems that their local surgeons are forced to address. Is traveling for surgery safe?

Our latest episode is with special guest @bajajplasticsurgery Dr. Anu Bajaj, MD MBA FACS. She is a board certified plastic surgeon in Oklahoma City. Dr. Bajaj is a past Chair of the Ethics Committee of ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) who recently wrote an article "The rise of domestic medical tourism - and the ethical questions raised." (link in bio)

We examine the complex problem of domestic medical tourism, the issues about educating patients, and the role social media plays in leading (or sometimes misleading) patients into choices which may result in problems.
