Meet the plastic surgeon transforming women’s busts and bodies
Verve sat down with the owner of Visage Plastic Surgery, Dr Katarzyna Mackenzie, to discover more about plastic surgery and breast reduction.
As if we didn’t have enough to fret about at the moment, it turns out that stress can also accelerate skin ageing and accentuate wrinkles, too. Wrinkles are the result of a breakdown of collagen and elastin, a perfectly natural—if infuriating—occurrence over time (after our 20s, our skin produces 1 percent less collagen every year, while elastin production also decrease with age).
As we age, the natural elasticity of the skin is lost as the amount of elastin lessens, and the skin and fat of our inner thighs begin to sag, creating saggy skin that hangs from the inner thighs. This condition can also occur after substantial weight loss.
Approachable and amiable, Dr Katarzyna Mackenzie MD, PhD, FRACS (Plast) is an expert in the fields of skin cancer, and hand, breast and facial surgery.
