In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with the unfiltered and refreshingly real Dr. Karishma Reddy, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Reddy Plastic Surgery Group in Virginia. From launching her own practice to keeping it real on Instagram, Dr. Reddy opens up about the business, the burnout, and the BS of today’s plastic surgery world.

She shares the powerful why behind her career choice, how her chaotic childhood shaped her surgical instincts, and what she’s doing differently to make patients feel seen, heard, and supported — from consult to recovery.

Together, they dive into the dangers of “chop-shop” plastic surgery centers, especially in places like Miami, and why personalized care and post-op follow-up should never be sacrificed for flashy marketing or low prices.

Dr. Reddy also talks about body dysmorphia in the weight loss community, mommy guilt, the power of humor in healing, and why she refuses to hand over her social media — even as her practice explodes with growth.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

• What it’s really like to build your own plastic surgery practice
• Why connection with your surgeon matters more than ever
• Red flags of “chop-shop” surgery centers and why they’re dangerous
• Body dysmorphia after massive weight loss — and how to navigate it
• How GLP-1s like semaglutide are helping maintain surgical results
• Why plastic surgery is about more than just looks — it’s about confidence
• Balancing mom life, surgery, and skits: The Dr. Reddy way
• Investing in yourself without guilt — because you’re worth it
