Decoding Plastic Surgery with Dr. Troy Pittman

Have you considered getting plastic surgery? We’re separating the social media hype from the surgical reality with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Troy Pittman. He walks us through some of the most common procedures he performs, including his specialty: aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast.

We also discuss how to spot red flags when looking for qualified surgeons and what he wishes every patient knew before sitting down for their initial consultation. Plus, he’ll weigh in on AI tools and the latest trends reshaping the industry.
