The Trillium Show with Dr. Jason Hall

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Trillium Show, I’m joined by my wife and business partner, Amanda Hall, for the first episode in a four-part series about what it really takes to run a plastic surgery practice together. Over the next few episodes, we’re pulling back the curtain on the business side of medicine: how we started, what we got wrong, what we’ve learned the hard way, and how our...

Send us Fan Mail Tummy tucks and body contouring procedures are consistently some of the most popular surgeries in plastic surgery, and for good reason. Patients want to remove excess skin, repair their core, improve their waistline, and feel more confident in their body. But what happens when the goal shifts from improving shape to changing the structure of the ribs? In this episode of The Trilli...

Send us Fan Mail Breast implant sizing is one of the most important conversations in any breast augmentation consultation, but bigger is not always better. In this episode of The Trillium Show , Dr. Jason Hall is joined by Dr. Jessica Walker to talk about how they help patients choose the right implant size based on goals, anatomy, measurements, frame, tissue quality, and long-term outcomes. They...

Send us Fan Mail Preservé by Motiva has been getting a lot of attention online, but what actually is it, and is it really as new or revolutionary as social media makes it seem? In this episode of The Trillium Show , I’m joined again by Dr. Jessica Walker to talk through the Preservé breast augmentation technique, Awake Breast Augmentation, smaller incisions, and the difference between marketing hy...

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Trillium Show , we’re doing something a little different. I’m sharing a conversation I had with Liz Durham, host of Being Different and a Knoxville mom of three, where she turned the tables and interviewed me about mommy makeover surgery. We talk through what a “mommy makeover” actually is, which usually means some combination of breast rejuvenation, tummy tuck, b...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most common consults I see isn’t for first-time surgery, it’s for patients who’ve already had a procedure and want it improved. Revision surgery is one of the most complex and least talked about areas in plastic surgery. It’s harder, riskier, and far less predictable than doing a procedure the first time, and yet most people don’t hear about it until they’re already in...

Send us Fan Mail There was a time when plastic surgery was quiet, private, and reserved for a very small group of people. Now, it’s everywhere. You can scroll past it on Instagram, hear about it on TikTok, or walk into a strip mall and book a treatment like you’re buying skincare. So this week, I’m taking a step back and looking at how we got here, and more importantly, what it means for you as a...

Send us Fan Mail We live in a world where cosmetic surgery is marketed like a product, something you can scroll, click, and finance like a handbag. But your body isn’t a product, and the operating room isn’t a store. In this episode, I’m walking you through 10 signs that tell me a patient isn’t quite ready for cosmetic surgery, and why hitting pause might be the most important decision you can mak...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Trillium Show , I sit down with Abby Ham for a conversation about identity, reinvention, and what happens when you finally step away from something that has defined your life for more than two decades. Most people in East Tennessee know Abby from her years behind the anchor desk, waking up with Knoxville long before sunrise and becoming part of the rhythm of...

Send us Fan Mail In Part 2 of this series on jowls, I walk through what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to stop wasting money on treatments that can’t fix the real problem. Most people notice changes in their jawline or neck and end up in a late-night Google spiral of products and procedures all claiming to lift and tighten. The problem is, most of those things don’t address what’s actually...

Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t set out to think about plastic surgery. It usually starts with noticing something in the mirror that wasn’t there before. So you do what everyone does: you Google it. And suddenly you’re staring at lasers, creams, fillers, threads, radiofrequency, mini facelifts, neck lifts… all with fine print that says “results may vary.” It’s overwhelming, confusing, and usual...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Trillium Show , we pull back the curtain on why the traditional healthcare system is excellent at managing disease, but terrible at creating real health. If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck, this episode is for you. Danese Rexroad is the Chief Clinical Officer at Ways2Well, and she specializ...

Send us Fan Mail This episode of The Trillium Show is a departure from what we usually talk about here. I’m not discussing plastic surgery, aesthetics, or performance. I’m sharing my family’s experience with dementia, specifically, my mother’s journey and everything it changed for our family along the way. Dementia is one of the most cruel and isolating diseases I’ve ever encountered. It doesn’t j...

Send us Fan Mail Radiofrequency microneedling is everywhere right now, but not all devices (or results) are the same. This week on The Trillium Show , I'm breaking down the real differences between Morpheus8 and Genius RF, based on my experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon who has owned, used, and ultimately moved on from Morpheus8. I was one of the early adopters of Morpheus8 in my...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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....

Send us Fan Mail When most people hear the word “liposuction,” they picture a quick fix for stubborn fat or loose skin.

Send us Fan Mail Think fat in your neck is something to get rid of? Think again. In this episode of The Trillium Show , Dr. Jason Hall explains why a little fat in the right places is essential for youthful, elegant facial contours—and why destroying it with trendy non-surgical treatments like Kybella, CoolSculpting, or radiofrequency tightening can actually make future surgery more difficult and...
