As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I get asked all the time about scars, why they form, how to prevent them, and what to do when they don’t heal the way you want. So this week on The Trillium Show, I’m laying out the hard truth: scars are part of every surgical procedure, but there’s a lot we can do to keep them subtle.

I break down the surgical techniques that reduce tension and place scars where they’re least visible, and why closing wounds precisely is critical. We’ll also cover what you can control during healing, like proper post-op care, and what you can’t.

If you’re struggling with a scar that bothers you, I’ll walk you through your options. From silicone gels and steroid injections to laser treatments and surgical revision. Plus, I explain how to handle scars from injuries and accidents for the best outcome.

Whether you’re prepping for surgery or just curious about scars, this episode gives you straightforward, practical advice.

The FDA recently issued a public warning about the risks of radiofrequency microneedling, citing burns, scarring, fat loss, and nerve damage. Headlines blew up, social media panicked, and patients are left wondering: Is RF microneedling actually dangerous?

In this episode of The Trillium Show, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Hall breaks down the new FDA advisory in plain language. He explains what sparked the warning, what risks are legitimate, and what the FDA statement really means for patients and providers.

Dr. Hall covers:
- Why RF microneedling is considered a medical procedure, not a cosmetic service
- The complications the FDA highlighted and how often they actually happen
- Why experience, training, and device selection matter more than ever
- The difference between superficial treatments that build collagen and deeper devices that can destroy fat
- How informed consent and appropriate expectations minimize risk
- The “cowboy problem” with aggressive settings and one-and-done promises

If you’re considering RF microneedling (or offering it), this episode is essential listening.

A new breast implant called Motiva has been all over social media, but is it really the next big thing in plastic surgery or just a risky experiment?

In this 100th episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall breaks down the hype behind Motiva implants and what sets them apart: from their RFID microchip tracker to their promise of near-zero capsular contracture rates. But as Dr. Hall explains, lower contracture rates may come with trade-offs, including a surprising 50% rate of implant malposition in early studies.

You’ll learn:

• The real science behind Motiva’s “smart” implant design
• Why less scar tissue around the implant isn’t always a good thing
• The hidden risks of early adoption in medical technology
• How surgeons choose implants, handle consignment stock, and keep costs down for patients

If you’re considering breast augmentation or just want the truth about the latest “must-have” device trending online, this episode is a must-watch before you book your consult.
