Podcast: Fuller Butz: A Behind the Scenes Plastic Surgery Podcast
Hosts: Dr. Sam Fuller & Dr. Daniel Butz

Whether you're just starting your research or already scheduling a consultation, this episode is your go-to guide for navigating the world of breast augmentation. Join board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sam Fuller and Dr. Daniel Butz as they break down the five essential questions every patient should ask before committing to breast surgery—and why those questions matter more than you think.

From cup size dreams to long-term outcomes, we dive deep into the key topics every informed patient should understand:

• Are you a good candidate? We explain the physical and emotional factors that help determine whether breast augmentation is the right fit for your goals—and your body.
• What kind of implants should I choose? Dr. Butz and Dr. Fuller cover the differences between saline and silicone implants, smooth versus textured surfaces, and how implant profile and placement impact your final look.
• What surgical technique is best for you? From submuscular versus subglandular, we lay out the pros and cons of each approach.
• What’s the deal with the “internal bra” technique? We explain this buzzworthy surgical enhancement and how it can offer extra support and longevity for the right patients.
• What are the risks, and how long do implants last? You’ll hear an honest discussion about complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, and reoperation, along with how long you can expect your results to last.

We also address some of the most common myths and misconceptions around breast implants—like whether they affect breast-feeding, if they increase cancer risk, and what recovery actually looks and feels like.

Another big topic? The difference between board-certified plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons. We break down why credentials matter and how choosing the right surgeon can make all the difference in your safety, results, and experience.
