Episode Details

In this episode of Live & Well, host Melissa Magsaysay speaks with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Cat Chang, whose precise technique, natural aesthetic philosophy, and high-profile clientele have positioned her as one of the leading voices in contemporary facial surgery.

Dr. Chang traces her unexpected transition from transplant medicine to aesthetics, offering a rare look at why facial surgery requires both technical rigor and artistic vision. She outlines the critical questions every patient should ask before pursuing a facelift, clarifies what terms like “mini lift” and “deep plane” truly mean, and explains why thoughtfully evaluated before-and-after images provide far more insight than procedural buzzwords.
