Can insurance actually cover plastic surgery?

In this episode, I sit down with Jacksonville plastic surgeon Dr. Abby Threet to talk about what procedures may qualify for insurance — including breast reduction, panniculectomy, upper blepharoplasty, gynecomastia, skin cancer reconstruction, and breast reconstruction revision.

We break down:
• The difference between a breast lift and a breast reduction
• Insurance requirements and the “magic number” rule
• Board eligible vs board certified
• Why some surgeons don’t take insurance
• Drains vs no drains in tummy tucks
• How to choose the right plastic surgeon

If you’ve ever wondered whether your surgery could be considered medically necessary, this episode is a must-watch.

This is about education, transparency, and helping you make empowered decisions.

If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight — whether through GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, or lifestyle changes — and you’re wondering what happens to the loose skin, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Big Butts No Lies, I’m sitting down with Dr. Sarah Kennedy, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, to break down body contouring after weight loss. We talk about what procedures actually help with excess skin, why doing everything at once isn’t always the safest option, and how staging surgeries can dramatically improve healing and results.

We also get into:
✨Weight loss medications vs bariatric surgery and skin laxity
✨Why nutrition is critical for healing
✨Tummy tucks, arms, thighs, and pelvic procedures after weight loss
✨Dog ears, scars, drains, and realistic expectations
✨What a boutique plastic surgery practice really means

My goal is always to help my girls make safe, informed decisions and feel confident every step of their transformation journey. This episode is packed with real education, no fluff, and the honest conversations you don’t always hear online.

✨ If you’re on a weight loss journey and thinking about skin removal surgery, this is a must-watch.

My girls, if you’ve been looking in the mirror wondering “Do I need a facelift?” — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, I’m sitting down with Dr. Edward Daniele, one of the only surgeons in West Texas who is double board-certified in Plastic Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery, to talk about something that gets overlooked all the time: the neck.

We break down:

• When neck lipo is enough
• When skin tightening actually works (and when it doesn’t)
• Why not everyone needs a facelift
• Awake facial procedures and recovery
• The difference between improvement and perfection
• How to avoid being overtreated

This conversation is honest, educational, and focused on helping you make safe, informed decisions — not selling you procedures you don’t need.

Hi my girls 💕
 Today’s episode is a MUST-LISTEN.

I’m sitting down with Anni Kimchi, and she’s bravely sharing her entire plastic surgery journey — from trusting the wrong surgeons to living through traumatic procedures, revisions, online bullying, and finally finding the right care.

What makes this episode hit harder?
 👉 Anni is a medical professional, and this still happened to her.

We talk about:
 ✨ Rhinoplasty gone wrong
 ✨ Revision surgery (and the emotional toll)
 ✨ Non–board-certified surgeons
 ✨ Awake liposuction trauma
 ✨ Being bullied online for your appearance
 ✨ Why “good marketing” does NOT mean good medicine

This episode is not meant to scare you — it’s meant to protect you.
My mission has always been to educate, empower, and help you get it right the first time.

If you or someone you love is thinking about plastic surgery, please watch this episode before making a decision.
