You'll hear how to know when it’s time to consider surgery for loose skin, when and why you need to pause GLP-1s before surgery, and how the right nutrition and recovery plan make all the difference.

Do GLP-1s Help With Binge Eating?
This interview originally aired on Less of You.
 
Ashley tried everything. She tried all the diets: Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, SlimFast, Houston Methodist Medical Weight Management program. Even after a gastric sleeve, her weight climbed back up to 320 lbs.
 
Going to therapy for binge eating was good, but still didn’t help her lose weight.
 
In 2024, exhausted from trying to lose weight yet again, she thought, “screw it, if I’m going to be fat, why not just get rid of my double chin?” So she decided to have neck lift surgery and found Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu, and that’s where she discovered GLP-1s by accident. 
 
Not long after that, she started on the medication and the rest is history.

I Thought About My Nose for 20 Years - Andrea’s Rhinoplasty
Since her 20s, Andrea was self-conscious about her nose, often tilting her head to the side to hide its asymmetry and bulbous tip. For decades, all she could see in the mirror was that flaw. 

By her 40s, she was mentally and financially ready for rhinoplasty. After rhinoplasty with Houston facial plastic surgeon Dr. Taylor DeBusk, she sees her entire face in a new way.

As a teacher working face-to-face with people, Andrea spends a lot of time making eye contact. Feeling confident in her appearance has transformed the way she connects with others.

Before surgery, people always told Andrea she looked just like her dad… not exactly what a girl wants to hear. Now, she has the best of both worlds—the nose she always wanted while still looking like part of her family.

Hannah’s Rhinoplasty: Why I Flew From LA to Houston For Surgery
Hyper-focused on the bump on her nose in the mirror every day and constantly worried about her “bad angles” in photos or videos, Hannah wanted rhinoplasty since middle school.

If someone stood on the “bad side,” she would ask them to move to the other side or twist her head so they couldn’t look at her from that angle.

After meeting with Dr. Taylor DeBusk on a virtual consultation, she worked with our team to plan a trip from Los Angeles to Houston to have rhinoplasty surgery.

Now two months post-op, hear Hannah’s story and find out how she’s feeling about her new nose.
