Episode 38: Making Progress on All Things Plastic Surgery (Part Two)

July 29, 2026 · 1 h

Show notes

In Part Two of our plastic surgery series, we’re answering community questions about cosmetic surgery through the lens of mental health—from knowing if you’re doing it for the right reasons to managing pre-surgery anxiety, choosing a surgeon, navigating body image, relationships, aging, and self-worth.

We also discuss why confidence and happiness aren’t always the same thing, and how to make decisions that align with your values instead of trends. Plus, in Chit Chat: the rise of AI-generated wellness influencers, why Miami has surpassed New York as one of the country’s most expensive cities, Melanie Perkins’ inspiring Canva success story and extraordinary philanthropy, and of course some reality tv divorce drama.
