What happens when the multi-billion dollar cosmetic surgery industry prioritizes private equity profits over human lives? Welcome to Part 1 of Before You Go Under the Knife, a dark, immersive audio series hosted by 18-year plastic surgery insider Mavi Rodriguez.
In this premier episode, Mavi pulls back the curtain on the lethal gaps in the medical system that protect dangerous doctors instead of innocent patients. She exposes the terrifying reality that 1 in 8 doctors marketing themselves as cosmetic surgeons are practicing completely outside their medical specialty—meaning pediatricians and ear doctors are legally performing liposuction after a simple weekend course. From multi-state surgical chains weaponizing "arbitration clauses" to bury wrongful death lawsuits, to the shocking true case of a discount clinic network that left 13 women dead, this episode reveals the industry secrets they desperately want to keep hidden.
This isn't a podcast to scare you away from changing your body—it is Mavi Rodriguez's ultimate blueprint to keeping you alive.
