Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder if plastic surgery could be the answer to achieving your ideal body image? Maybe you've been tempted by the promises of cosmetic procedures you've seen splashed across social media, but you're confused about what's truly achievable and safe? In this episode, I'm joined by a special guest to cut through the filters and fiction to bring you the hard-hitting truths about the plastic surgery industry. 

This episode is for you if you're considering plastic surgery or simply curious about the reality behind the Instagram-perfect bodies and what it really takes to maintain results post-surgery. Join us as we empower you with knowledge directly from Dr. Rachel Walker, a board-certified plastic surgeon dedicated to patient education and safety.


In this episode, you will:

  1. Learn about the complexities of board certification in plastic surgery, the meaning behind being "triple boarded," and which certifications to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon.
  2. Discover how to properly research and vet a plastic surgeon's background and credentials, including checking state medical licenses and understanding the potential for misleading claims in the industry.
  3. Understand the symptoms associated with breast implant illness, the current lack of specific lab tests for diagnosis, and why it’s important to consider other health factors before attributing all symptoms to breast implants.
