Is Poor Blood Supply the Reason Your Plastic Surgery Scars Won’t Heal? | Dr. Monica Wentworth
Does your plastic surgeon worry about your blood supply as much as your results? In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi talks with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Monica Wentworth about the critical role of vascular health in surgery. Dr. Wentworth shares why her background in vascular surgery research makes her a specialist in preventing complications like necrosis and surgical wounds. We dive into why you must disclose previous energy-based treatments like CoolSculpting or radiofrequency, and the real dangers of smoking or vaping before a facelift or breast lift. Learn why a "deep plane facelift" might be the safer choice for your anatomy and why meeting your surgeon for the first time on the morning of surgery is a major red flag. Inside this conversation:Why "sewing blood vessels" is the secret to a great plastic surgery outcome. How prior surgeries and scar tissue change your "dominant" blood supply. The truth about diabetes and how it affects your microvascular healing. Why your surgeon might say "no" to large implants for your safety. The importance of the operative report from your past procedures. Don't let a lack of information lead to a surgical complication. Dr. Monica Wentworth explains exactly what to ask your surgeon to ensure your tissue heals beautifully.👉 Watch the full episode for the truth about surgical safety!

Are the "after" photos you see on Instagram actually real? In this episode, Mavi sits down with board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Ryan Kunkle and Dr. Rhett Willis to expose the details that separate a "good" mommy makeover from a breathtaking one.

Plus, the doctors share how to spot "red flag" marketing and why you should never settle for a surgeon who won't spend more than 10 minutes with you. Inside this conversation:The Belly Button Breakdown: Why it’s (usually) your same belly button, just a new hole. Weight Fluctuations: How massive weight loss changes the "stock" of your anatomy. The Breast Lift Debate: Why staging your surgery might give a more predictable result. Social Media Red Flags: Why "on-the-table" results and bikini-only photos are misleading.
