Knee Surgery, Body Dysmorphia… and the Truth Women Deserve to Hear

from The Party’s Over with Sandra Lena Silverman · host Sandra Silverman

This may be one of our most important conversations yet. In Part A, Sandra speaks with plastic surgeon Dr. Michelle Zweifler about knee and elbow skin excision surgery — what it does, what it doesn’t, scar reality, healing time, emotional readiness, lifestyle downtime, and why this is a rare procedure that deserves thoughtful conversation rather than fantasy expectations. In Part B, licensed professional counselor Lane Happel joins for a deeply compassionate conversation about body dysmorphia — why women fixate on parts of our bodies, how social media and cameras distort reality, and the emotional toll of comparison culture. And in Part C, we enter Spill It — where honesty, warmth, humor, emotion, and truth come together. It’s real. It’s human. It’s deeply validating. Learn more about your ad choices.
