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.

There’s a new surgeon in the Trillium Plastic Surgery office! And today, you get to meet her.

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.

She opens up about her personal fertility journey, balancing motherhood with medicine, and how those experiences have shaped the way she connects with her patients. Dr. Hall and Dr. Walker also discuss:

• What makes an ideal tummy tuck candidate
• The truth about “drainless” abdominoplasty techniques
• Why general surgery training is invaluable for plastic surgeons
• How motherhood changes the way surgeons think about their work

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.
