Before You Go Under the Knife | Part 3

How do you protect your life and your body in a system filled with hidden surgical loopholes? Welcome to the final part of Before You Go Under the Knife, an investigative audio series hosted by 18-year plastic surgery insider Mavi Rodriguez. In this finale, Mavi hands over the ultimate power blueprint to the patient, detailing the exact research steps you must take before booking. She reveals the profound difference between true American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certification and lesser cosmetic boards, exposing how high follower counts can mask severe negligence. Discover how to bypass slow-moving state medical boards by searching aggregate court records on Trellis and UniCourt to dig up hidden malpractice cases, including a chilling example of a celebrity-backed Texas surgeon with 600,000 Instagram followers and multiple active disfigurement lawsuits. From mapping room green flags to breaking down the subtle sales tactics of consultation upselling and hidden arbitration fine print, Mavi gives you the tools to become your own best defense. ⏱️ Chapter Timestamps:00:00 — Taking Your Power Back: The Finale Blueprint 01:30 — The Gold Standard: American Board of Plastic Surgery vs. Other Cosmetic Boards 02:25 — Unlocking Court Records: How to Run a Malpractice History Check via UniCourt & Trellis 03:38 — The $3,000 Settlement Trap for Deep Gluteal Necrosis 04:18 — Navigating State Medical Boards: License Status & The Realities of Slow Action 05:19 — The Social Media Reality Check: Netflix Documentaries vs. Active Disfigurement Suits 06:25 — The Price Reality Check: What Cheap Overhead is Actually Funding 07:13 — Consultation Room Green Flags: Direct Medical History Inquiries by the Actual Surgeon 09:13 — Red Flags in the Room: Pressured Booking, Menu Add-Ons, & Rushed Sales Pitches 10:05 — Good Faith Clinical Judgment vs. Hard Predatory Closing Tactics 11:17 — Pre-Op Fine Print: Hunting Down Hidden Arbitration Clauses Before Signing 12:37 — Post-Op Care Plans: Emergency Transfers & Facility Blood Supply Verification 13:17 — The Emergency Toolkit: Timelines, Symptom Logs, and Independent Wound Care Opinions 14:35 — The Final Promise: Getting Mavi Rodriguez in Your Corner Send us Fan MailSupport the show📞 Want help planning your surgery?Book a discovery call with Mavi Rodriguez.🌐 Visit our website: www.bigbuttsnolies.com📲 Follow us on Instagram: @bigbuttsnoliespodcast📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube
