Are you on a massive weight loss journey and trying to figure out the final phase of your transformation? In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Small, Director of Plastic Surgery at the New York Bariatric Group. 

Dr. Small answers the number one question patients ask: Will insurance pay for body contouring after weight loss? He reveals exactly how to document skin rashes, pain, and functional issues to get insurance approval. We also dive deep into the strict safety limits of staging surgeries, why any procedure over 6 hours drastically spikes your risk of blood clots or infections, and the honest reality of pain management for a lower body lift. Plus, learn how plastic surgeons treat "Ozempic Face" and what happens when weight loss patients want a BBL but don't have enough fat.
