What makes one plastic surgeon better than another?

In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with Dr. Emmanuel De La Cruz to break down what truly separates good results from exceptional ones, and it goes far beyond just technique.

Dr. De La Cruz shares his journey traveling the world to learn from the best surgeons, from training in Colombia, to studying techniques in Turkey, Italy, and across the U.S. His commitment to constantly improving his craft is what shaped his approach to body contouring today.

But this episode isn’t just about aesthetics.

He also opens up about his humanitarian work on medical missions, where he’s helped perform life-changing surgeries for children with cleft lip and palate, procedures that don’t just change appearance, but allow patients to hear, eat, and live normal lives.

Inside this conversation:

• The real difference between liposuction and high-definition liposuction
• Why technique and training matter more than the machine
• How global training shaped his results
• The risks of untrained surgeons performing advanced procedures
• What patients should look for before choosing a surgeon
• Why surgery is about responsibility — not just results

This episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to become a top plastic surgeon — and what you should know before trusting someone with your body.

Many women think they need breast implants… when what they actually need is a breast lift.

In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Olga Bachilo to break down the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation — and how to know which one is right for you.

Dr. Bachilo, founder of Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, is known for creating natural, personalized results and specializes in breast surgery, body contouring, and mommy makeovers.

They talk about:

• What a breast lift actually does (and what it doesn’t)
• Why breast lifts can reduce volume
• When implants are necessary
• How to tell if you need a lift at home
• The biggest misconceptions about breast surgery
• Why expectations matter more than anything

If you’ve had kids, lost weight, or feel like your breasts don’t look the same anymore, this episode will help you understand your options before making a decision.

Because not everyone needs implants… and not everyone understands what a lift really does.
