I went to pray in a church in Rome… yes… I’m Catholic as most of the Poles are….

So I somehow managed to get locked inside a Catholic Church in Rome.

And while I was trying to work out how to get out, I had a thought…

We spend so much time worrying about the people who walk out of our lives.

But sometimes the problem isn’t the people who leave.

It’s the people we keep letting back in.

Not everybody needs another chance.

Not every relationship needs repairing.

Not every door needs reopening.

Sometimes someone leaving your life isn’t a loss.

Sometimes it’s an exit you should probably leave locked.

Anyway…

I eventually found my way out of the church.

And perhaps that’s today’s life lesson:

Know which doors to open — and which ones to keep firmly closed.

Then walk away. Just have guts to simply walk away.

Yours

Dr Mackenzie

Patients sometimes arrive at a consultation knowing exactly which operation—or even which implant—they think they want.

And that's completely understandable. There is more information about plastic surgery available online than ever before.

But a consultation isn't simply an opportunity to order a procedure.

My responsibility is to look at your anatomy, listen to what you want to achieve, explain what is realistically possible and then use my judgement to recommend what I believe is appropriate.

Sometimes we're completely aligned.

Sometimes I suggest something different.

And occasionally, I recommend no surgery at all.

Knowing how to operate is important. Knowing when not to is part of being a surgeon.

As a surgeon, it’s a reminder that even when we do everything we can to minimise risk, complications can still happen.

Breast implant infection is uncommon, but it can be serious — and sometimes removing the implant is the safest thing to do.

It has also reinforced something I tell every patient: please contact your surgeon early if something doesn’t seem right.

Increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pain, discharge or feeling unwell should never be something you simply wait on.

I would always rather hear from you and reassure you than hear from you too late.

Complications are part of surgery. Recognising them early and managing them appropriately is part of being a surgeon too.

Plastic surgery isn't about fitting as many procedures as possible into one operation.

For me:

Safety before convenience.
Judgement before ambition.
And sometimes, two operations are better than one.

Would knowing your surgeon had a 6-hour maximum make you feel safer?

YES / NO / IT DEPENDS

I sometimes forget what an extraordinary privilege it is to do what I do every day.

My patients trust me with their bodies, their insecurities, their stories and often something they have been thinking about for years. They place an enormous amount of trust in my hands — and I never take that lightly.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have a career that I genuinely love, and even more grateful for every patient who chooses me to be part of their journey.

Surgery may be my everyday, but for my patient, it is anything but everyday. And that is always worth remembering.

Facelifts are having a moment…there is no question about it.

Suddenly, everyone is talking about the snatched jawline — sharper, tighter, more defined. And social media can make it feel as though there is one ideal face we should all be trying to achieve. Sadly 😌

But faces should not follow fashion.

Just like we have seen trends for oversized lips, tiny noses, high cheekbones and buccal fat removal, the “perfect” jawline risks becoming another aesthetic trend.

The problem? Fashion changes. Your anatomy doesn’t.

A facelift should not be about giving every woman the same jawline or making a 55-year-old look 25. It should be about understanding how your face has aged and restoring its natural proportions while preserving the features that make you recognisably you.

Trend-it shouldn’t make everyone look the same.

It’s your face — beautifully, thoughtfully refreshed.

That’s ALL

Mummy/menopause makeover surgery is an umbrella term for procedures carried out by a plastic surgeon to counteract the lasting effects of pregnancy, post-pregnancy, menopause, weight loss and breastfeeding on a woman’s body. It is a combination of surgeries involving the breast and abdomen but can also include other surgeries such as labiaplasty.

The information provided here is for general educational purposes only. Please consult your doctor or specialist for individual advice.

All surgical procedures carry some risk. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon to ensure you have realistic expectations and are fully informed. Some procedures may not be suitable for everyone and individual results will vary.
