   Motiva Breast Implants: Bigger Buzz, Better Boobs, or Bad Bet?

   Every month more women walk into Dr. Kat Gallus's office asking for one specific brand of implant by name — something that's never happened with any other implant company. Dr. Gallus and Bri explain what's actually different about Motiva implants: the nanotextured shell, the monobloc gel technology, and the capsular contracture numbers everyone's throwing around on TikTok without the context behind them. The Preservé technique places a smaller implant through a tiny tunnel instead of a full surgical pocket, and Dr. Gallus spells out exactly where this minimally invasive option hits its limits. Plus: should you swap out implants that are working just fine for the new hotness? Dr. Gallus has a blunt answer. Meet La Jolla plastic surgeon (https://restoresdplasticsurgery.com/meet-katerina-gallus/) Dr. Kat Gallus Questions answered by this episode: What makes Motiva implants different from other breast implants? Are Motiva implants actually safer than Allergan or Mentor implants? What does the Motiva nanotextured shell do? Does a lower capsular contracture rate mean zero risk? What is Motiva Preservé and how is it different from a regular breast augmentation? Can you get a bigger implant with the Preservé technique? Should you switch your current implants to Motiva if they're not causing problems? Is the Motiva RFID chip technology available in the US? How long does recovery take after a Preservé augmentation? What's the largest implant size available with Motiva? Hosted by San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Kat Gallus and her trusty sidekick scrub tech Bri, this is a podcast for women who have always wished they had a slightly snarky, super experienced, and totally unintimidating female plastic surgeon as their BFF to help sort through the what, where, and why of the available cosmetic treatment options.

   Tummy Tucks, GLP-1s, and Why Your Husband Doesn't Get a Vote

   Dr. Kat Gallus and Bri return to close the loop on tummy tucks — the questions that got buried in a mommy makeover episode two years ago plus everything GLP-1s have changed since. They dig into who actually needs a tummy tuck versus who can get away with lipo, why kids in your immediate future is a real reason to wait, what has to happen before you stop your GLP-1, and the insurance question everyone asks and nobody understands. They cover the fleur de lis (and why we don't see it as often anymore), what a fibroid diagnosis means for surgery timing, exactly what happens to your belly button, and a rapid fire round of myth-or-reality. Plus: Kylie Jenner wants bigger implants, Dolly Parton, cadaver-derived fat injectables, the Poppi soda founder's post-weight-loss journey, and Lady Gaga's fiance's very interesting biotech company.

Will insurance ever cover a tummy tuck or panniculectomy after major weight loss? What happens to your belly button during a tummy tuck? How do fibroids affect whether you can have a tummy tuck?

   Brown Spots, Bad Tans, and the B’s Beautiful New Laser

   Up to 80 percent of visible facial aging traces back to decades of unprotected UV exposure, not birthdays — and Dr. Kat Gallus says almost nobody walks into her office asking to look more weathered. She and Bri debunk the myths people still believe about tanning: that peptide tanning is a safer shortcut, that a base tan protects you from burning, that cloudy skies are a free pass. They break down what sun damage actually looks like on skin — brown spots, texture changes, and the white patches that show up when pigment cells finally give out — and why melasma needs a completely different treatment plan than ordinary sun spots. Then they introduce Restore SD's newest laser platform, the Sciton Joule, including the BBL Heroic and the Halo Tribrid, which layers three wavelengths into one treatment.

Does a base tan really protect your skin from burning? Is SPF 100 actually better than SPF 50? Can you get sun damage through a car window? What's the difference between sun spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation? Is peptide tanning (Melanotan) safe? How long do you have to stay off spray tanner before a laser treatment? What's the difference between BBL, Moxi, and the Halo Tribrid laser? Can melasma be treated with BBL? How do you prep your skin before a laser treatment for sun damage?
