Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and how Doctor Chong went from being a commodities trader to becoming a surgeon.

I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits.

Now, today's episode is called "Commodities Trader to Surgeon — with Lavinia K. Chong, MD".

Even when you knew you wanted to be a surgeon since you were a kid, the road to get there was bumpy and full of twists and turns.

But when you don't know yet what you want to be when you grow up, the road is even bumpier.

This week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast is an interview I did with Lavinia Chong, MD, a 2nd generation board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Newport Beach, CA.

Dr. Chong has a lovely English accent since she was born in London, and her father was a plastic surgeon who then brought the family to America for opportunity.

However, Dr. Chong initially wanted to be a flight attendant, but instead became a commodities trader BEFORE she decided to follow in her father's footsteps.

But even then, she took the long path of becoming an ER doc, doing maxillofacial, worker's comp, MOHS, and breast reconstruction….all while raising 2 kids with her very hands-on husband.

She eventually went 100% cosmetic 15 years ago and hasn't looked back.

Dr. Chong also credits yoga that helped/helps keep her sane 😀
