This Spring issue of A2 Magazine is 3 of 4 of our print magazines for the year. You can look forward to aesthetic, anti-ageing and cosmetic surgery news and articles that you won't find anywhere else. Dr Marshall Murdoch does an interesting report on the 24-hour boob job. He investigates whether this new medical procedure is a safe way to “test drive” a breast augmentation - or simply just a marketing fad. Dr Dirk Lazarus shares his thoughts with us on how patients can get the most out of their consultations with Doctors to avoid post-aesthetic or surgical procedure disappointment. Our print editor has reviewed a VASER Lipo procedure complete with before and after photos from her personal journey. Dr Vernon Ching reports on the chin-makeover: a non-invasive, aesthetic rejuvenation procedure of the chin using filler injectables. Dr Ian Webster advises on identifying and removing moles.  Whether you are looking to remove a mole for cosmetic reasons or because they look strange and could indicate cancer or other skin problems, there are different procedures and protocols to consider. Also, a thought-provoking topic from skin-care therapist, Ingrid Katz, deliberating the age-old question: Genes VS Routines: How much of skin ageing is in our genetic make-up – and how much can we actually control? And so much more to discover in this issue…
