The Challenges and Advantages of Being a Female Plastic Surgeon with Dr. Shawna Kleban

H/K/B’s brilliant female plastic surgeon Dr. Shawna Kleban joins Drs. Kortesis and Bharti to uncomplicate the stereotypes and differences in treatment women in plastic surgery sometimes face.

From getting called “nurse” in the hospital to being known as the “aggressively direct” female plastic surgeon, Dr. Kleban gives perspective on the challenges and differences women face in what has historically been a male-dominated field.

Find out why some patients prefer female plastic surgeons while others tend to not give them the same respect as their male counterparts, and hear Dr. Kleban’s invaluable advice for younger women considering a career in medicine.
