In this brutally honest (and slightly snarky) episode, we peel back the perfectly contoured curtain on the medical aesthetics industry. From overdone lip filler and jawline illusions to the growing buzz around PDO threads and their not-so-glamorous side effects—we’re calling it like it is.
We break down the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery (yes, there’s a big difference), and dive into what board-certified experts are saying versus what social media influencers think they know. Are we chasing beauty or just playing a high-stakes game of aesthetic roulette?
If you're curious about the hidden risks of dermal fillers and PDO thread lifts, what separates a plastic surgeon from a cosmetic surgeon (and why it matters), social media trends, and why some procedures are more about marketing than medicine this episode is for you. Tune in and get the no-filter truth about the filtered face.
