A new breast implant called Motiva has been all over social media, but is it really the next big thing in plastic surgery or just a risky experiment?

In this 100th episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall breaks down the hype behind Motiva implants and what sets them apart: from their RFID microchip tracker to their promise of near-zero capsular contracture rates. But as Dr. Hall explains, lower contracture rates may come with trade-offs, including a surprising 50% rate of implant malposition in early studies.

You’ll learn:

• The real science behind Motiva’s “smart” implant design
• Why less scar tissue around the implant isn’t always a good thing
• The hidden risks of early adoption in medical technology
• How surgeons choose implants, handle consignment stock, and keep costs down for patients

If you’re considering breast augmentation or just want the truth about the latest “must-have” device trending online, this episode is a must-watch before you book your consult.

When most people think of liposuction, they imagine it as a magic fix for stubborn fat or loose skin, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

On this week's  episode of The Trillium Show, I sit down with my colleague, Dr. Jessica Walker, to unpack the real story behind one of the most misunderstood plastic surgery procedures. We dive deep into what liposuction actually does, who it’s right for, and when it might not be the right choice.

Dr. Walker breaks down how liposuction works, the difference between fat removal and skin tightening, and why it’s best thought of as a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss tool. We also tackle common misconceptions about cellulite, “lipo 360,” and non-surgical alternatives like CoolSculpting (spoiler: it’s not the miracle treatment people think it is).

We cover:

• How to know if you’re a good candidate for liposuction
• Why skin quality matters more than the amount of fat
• What recovery really looks like, including swelling, compression, and lymphatic massage
• The most common complications (and how to avoid them)
• Why choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is critical for your safety and results

If you’ve ever wondered whether liposuction is worth it, or if you’ve been confused by all the noise online, this episode will help you make sense of it all.

In this episode, Dr. Jason Hall sits down with Dr. Jessica Walker, a double board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training in general and plastic surgery. After years of high-intensity trauma work in Detroit, Dr. Walker found her calling in aesthetic breast and body surgery, work that’s taken on even deeper meaning since becoming a mom herself.

• What makes an ideal tummy tuck candidate
• The truth about “drainless” abdominoplasty techniques
• Why general surgery training is invaluable for plastic surgeons

Think fat in your neck is something to get rid of? Think again. In this episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall explains why a little fat in the right places is essential for youthful, elegant facial contours—and why destroying it with trendy non-surgical treatments like Kybella, CoolSculpting, or radiofrequency tightening can actually make future surgery more difficult and less effective.

He breaks down the science behind neck contouring, the long-term risks of fat-dissolving treatments, and what you should know before booking any “quick fix” procedure. Whether you’re considering facial rejuvenation now or years from now, this conversation will help you make smarter, safer choices for lasting beauty.
