How #bigpharma Hijacked American Medicine: 100 Year #history Dr. Jason Hall 2024-09-26 | That's right: there are deep-seated ties between the American medical system and big pharma. Today, I'm talking you through the history of how JD Rockefeller and the American Medical Association shaped healthcare to favor allopathic medicine and synthetic drugs, sidelining natural remedies and holistic approaches.You'll learn about the role of the Flexner Report in transforming medical education and why today’s healthcare system might prioritize profit over patient health. Tune in for a hard-hitting look at how pharmaceutical giants have influenced what doctors prescribe, why it’s crucial to question the roots of modern medical practices, and how it’s impacting your health today.
The Phone Rule We Have for Our Kids at Night Dr. Jason Hall 2026-09-11 | One of our biggest technology boundaries at home is simple: our kids do not keep their phones in their bedrooms overnight.We use the parental controls built into their iPhones, limit access around bedtime, and have the phones charge downstairs until morning.That means fewer distractions, fewer late-night notifications, and no reason to be scrolling in bed.It’s been one of the simplest changes we’ve made for better sleep and healthier phone habits. Plus makes our lives easier as parents!#ParentingAdvice #ScreenTime #iPhoneParentalControls #KidsAndTechnology
The Marriage Non-Negotiable We’ve Kept for Over 8 Years Dr. Jason Hall 2026-09-10 | One of the simplest things Amanda and I have done for our marriage is also one of the most important:Thursday night is date night.We started prioritizing a weekly date night early in our marriage, and for the last eight years, it’s stayed one of our biggest non-negotiables.Life gets busy, but making consistent time for each other has been worth protecting.#MarriageNonNegotiables #DateNight #RelationshipAdvice #MarriageAdvice
The Rules That Keep Our Marriage, Family & Business Together Dr. Jason Hall 2026-09-10 | Amanda is back with me on The Trillium Show, and this time we’re talking about the things we refuse to let get pushed aside when life gets busy.After almost 20 years of marriage, 12 years of running a business together, and raising our daughters, we’ve learned that some things have to stay non-negotiable if we want our marriage, family, and business to work.In this episode, Amanda and I talk about the routines that have helped keep us connected, including:• Why we’ve protected a weekly date night for years• Our Friday family night tradition• Why family dinners still matter in our house• Making fitness an actual appointment on the calendar• Creating intentional one-on-one time with our daughters• Why some of our best conversations happen while walking• The boundaries we’ve created around phones and social mediaThese aren’t rules we think every family needs to follow. They’re simply the things that have worked for us through different seasons of marriage, parenting, and business ownership.Amanda is also going to be joining me a lot more on The Trillium Show as we share more about what it actually looks like to build a business and a life together — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.If you enjoy these conversations about marriage, family, business, parenting, and building a life together, subscribe to The Trillium Show so you don’t miss what’s coming next.What’s one non-negotiable your family protects no matter how busy life gets?

Why I Chose Plastic Surgery Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-31 | I often get asked why I wanted to become a plastic surgeon so here's the short answer!#plasticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #choosingaspecialty #medschool
Should You Still Go to Medical School? A Doctor’s Warning About AI & the Future of Medicine Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-27 | In 2024, I recorded one of the most controversial episodes of The Trillium Show: “Smart Kids — Don’t Go to Medical School.”Two years later, I’m revisiting it because the questions I raised then feel even more relevant now.Medicine is changing fast. Physicians have less autonomy. Hospital systems and insurance companies have more control over how care is delivered. And AI is getting increasingly good at the very things much of modern medicine depends on: pattern recognition, data analysis, diagnosis and following treatment protocols.So what happens when an AI can analyze data from your Apple Watch, smart scale, lab results and symptoms, generate a differential diagnosis and recommend the next step?And if large healthcare systems can use AI alongside PAs, nurse practitioners and other providers, how many physicians will they actually need?In this episode, I break down the three reasons I originally told smart college students to think twice before going to medical school:The loss of physician autonomy and private practiceThe growing reliance on protocols and algorithms instead of independent clinical judgmentThe possibility that AI dramatically changes the demand for certain physiciansI still love medicine. I still love being a surgeon. But if one of my own children told me they wanted to go to medical school today, these are the conversations we would have.Maybe I’ll look back in another 10 years and realize I was completely wrong.I hope I do.But two years later, I’m not convinced that I was.If you’re considering medical school, raising a future doctor, or wondering where healthcare and AI are headed, this is a conversation worth having.Would you recommend medical school to an 18-year-old today? Let me know in the comments.
Will AI Replace Doctors? I Predicted This 2 Years Ago Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-24 | Two years ago, I predicted that AI could dramatically reduce the number of physicians needed in healthcare.Medicine relies heavily on pattern recognition, data and protocols — all things AI is rapidly improving at.This clip comes from “Smart Kids — Don’t Go to Medical School,” one of the most controversial episodes of The Trillium Show.I’m re-releasing the full episode this Thursday to see how those predictions hold up two years later.Will AI replace a significant number of doctors?#AI #Medicine #MedicalSchool #Healthcare
Non-Surgical Treatments Won’t Give You a Facelift Result Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-19 | This is something I tell patients all the time:You’re often paying to stay out of the operating room—not paying for an equivalent result.Non-surgical treatments can absolutely help, but they have limits. If what you really want is a facelift or neck lift result, make sure you understand the difference before spending thousands trying to avoid surgery.#Facelift #NeckLift #PlasticSurgery #Aesthetics #LooseSkin
The Best Marketing Cant Be Bought Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-14 | Marketing can help, but the best marketing is still doing excellent work and treating people well.In this clip from The Trillium Show, Amanda and I talk about what actually builds a practice over time: skill, trust, consistency, and years of happy patients.Watch the full episode with Amanda Hall on The Trillium Show.
The Money Mistakes That Can Sink a Medical Practice Dr. Jason Hall 2026-08-13 | Is your medical practice actually profitable—or is there simply money sitting in the bank account?In the fourth and final episode of our business lessons series, my wife Amanda and I discuss the financial realities of opening and running a plastic surgery practice. We explain how we determine whether the practice is truly making money, how we calculate overhead and set procedure prices, and why copying a competitor’s pricing can lead to losing money without realizing it.We also share why staying small has been one of our smartest business decisions, how unnecessary employees and oversized office spaces can quietly increase expenses, and why controlling the money flowing out of a business is just as important as increasing revenue.Amanda and I also reveal our biggest financial regrets—including expensive medical devices that did not deliver, financing contracts we should have examined more carefully, and the hidden expenses that surprised us as new business owners. We also discuss marketing, employee benefits, payroll taxes, insurance, vendor costs, and why providing excellent patient care remains the most effective form of marketing.Whether you own a plastic surgery practice, operate a med spa, are preparing to open a medical practice, or simply want to build a healthier small business, this conversation offers practical lessons for protecting your cash flow, controlling overhead, and making smarter financial decisions.Subscribe to The Trillium Show for more conversations about plastic surgery, aging, patient care, and the business of medicine.

Nobody Teaches Doctors How to Run a Business Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-29 | We knew medicine.

For a deep plane facelift, timing is everything. Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-23 | She wanted to look like herself for her daughter's wedding — so she planned well ahead of time.Her daughter was getting married, and she knew exactly what she wanted: to be fully present that day — not worrying about camera angles, not editing herself out of photos later.So she came in almost a year ahead of the wedding. This was not a “rush job” — she had enough time to heal, let things settle, and let the results look like her, not like “I just had surgery."We planned the timeline around the wedding date from day one.The result: she's in every photo. Dancing, laughing, smiling. Not holding her chin up and avoiding certain camera angles.That's the goal for a deep plane facelift done right — not a transformation people notice, but a woman who never had to think about it on the one day she wanted to just be there.Schedule a consult by visiting the link in my bio.
She used to avoid mirrors and hide out at home. She recently got back from a cruise. Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-22 | She spent years avoiding mirrors, and rarely left the house.When I saw her recently, she had just gotten back from a cruise.Her surgery wasn’t perfect. There’s scarring that will soften over time, but it’s permanent. I could have done less and gotten better healing — but that would have meant more surgery, and more time neither of us wanted to spend.Rhinophyma happens when rosacea goes untreated for years. The skin and glands overgrow, distorting the nose. It’s not common — I see a case or two a year. When this patient walked into my office, I’d never seen one this severe.This is after one treatment with radiowave surgery — the same tool I use to remove moles without a visible scar.Plastic surgery isn’t perfect. But when the right procedure is done for the right reasons, the results can be profound — physically and psychologically.
Is Working With Your Spouse Bad for Your Marriage? Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-19 | People ask Amanda and me all the time whether working together has been difficult for our marriage.The honest answer is no. We are not side by side all day, but we do share the stress, decisions, and responsibility that come with running a practice. Business follows us home sometimes, especially after a challenging day, but we also genuinely enjoy building something together.Episode 117 of The Trillium Show is out now.In What We Wish We Knew Before Starting a Medical Practice, Amanda and I share more of the lessons we have learned about money, marriage, employees, and growing a business together.Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

How We Opened Our Medical Practice Without Debt Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-16 | One of the best business decisions Amanda and I made happened years before we opened our practice: we learned to live below our means and save consistently.That habit eventually allowed us to start small, equip only two rooms, and open without taking on debt. Instead of paying off a large bank loan, we could reinvest back into our employees, the practice, and the business.Episode 117 of The Trillium Show is officially out now.What We Wish We Knew Before Starting a Medical Practice is the second episode in our four-part business series with Amanda.Watch the full episode now on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Our $4,000 Welcome-to-Adulthood Mistake Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-15 | We spent $4,000 on a piece of furniture we didn’t need.Three weeks later, we found out we owed almost exactly $4,000 in taxes.When Amanda and I first got married, we knew medicine—but we knew very little about finances, taxes, or running a business. That purchase became one of our first expensive lessons.Tomorrow, July 16, the second episode in our four-part business series drops on The Trillium Show.Episode 117: What We Wish We Knew Before Starting a Medical Practice.
We Had No Business Training—Here’s How We Built a Debt-Free Medical Practice Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-15 | How do you start a successful medical practice when neither you nor your spouse has any formal business training?In the second episode of our business series, my wife Amanda and I share how we went from careers in medicine to building Trillium Plastic Surgery together.

Why Loose Skin Won’t Go Away After Pregnancy Dr. Jason Hall 2026-07-07 | Loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss is not a willpower problem.Many women come into my office frustrated because they have tried diet, exercise, and non-surgical treatments, but the extra skin is still there.The truth is, once the skin has been stretched to the point that the elastic fibers are damaged, it usually will not tighten back on its own.That is where tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, can be helpful. It is not a weight loss procedure. It is a surgery designed to remove excess skin, tighten the abdominal wall when needed, and improve the contour of the abdomen.We talk more about the three things an abdominoplasty can address on the podcast.#looseskin #weightlossafterpregnancy #tummytuck

RibXcar Is Not for Everyone | Rib Remodeling Explained Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-18 | RibXcar, or rib remodeling, is a much bigger commitment than many people realize.In this clip from The Trillium Show, Dr. Jessica Walker and I talk about why patient selection matters, what requirements have to be considered, and why the post-op process is just as important as the surgery itself.When you’re talking about changing skeletal structure, the question is not just “Can we do it?” It’s “Is this the right operation for this patient?”#RibXcar #RibRemodeling
RibXcar & Rib Remodeling: Is a Smaller Waist Worth the Risk? | Dr. Jessica Walker Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-18 | RibXcar, RibX, rib remodeling, and cosmetic rib removal have been gaining attention online as procedures designed to create a smaller, more dramatic waistline. But is changing the structure of your ribs really worth it?In this episode of The Trillium Show, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Walker, body contouring expert at Trillium Plastic Surgery in Knoxville, to talk through what patients need to understand before considering rib contouring or rib remodeling surgery.We break down how these procedures are different from traditional body contouring, how rib remodeling works, why the floating ribs are involved, and what role corsets or waist trainers play in the final result.More importantly, we talk honestly about the risks: pneumothorax, bleeding, nerve or vessel injury, asymmetry, unrealistic expectations, long-term concerns, and the reality that this is still a major cosmetic decision even when marketed as “minimally invasive.”Social media can make these procedures look simple, but altering the skeletal structure of the body is not something to take lightly. Before chasing a smaller waist, patients need education, realistic expectations, and a clear understanding of the potential complications.Watch the full episode to hear what two board-certified plastic surgeons think about RibXcar, RibX, and the growing trend of cosmetic rib remodeling.Topics Covered:RibXcar and RibX explainedRib remodeling vs. rib removalFloating ribs and waistline contouringTummy tuck and body contouring limitationsRisks of rib contouring surgeryCorset and waist trainer complianceWhy social media surgery trends can be misleadingWhat patients should consider before cosmetic rib surgeryLearn more about Trillium Plastic Surgery:Visit Trillium Plastic Surgery in Knoxville, Tennessee.#ribxcar #plasticsurgery #bodycontouring #tummytuck #cosmeticsurgery #drjasonhall #thetrilliumshow
Facelift Recovery Timeline: Before, 3 Days, 1 Week & 6 Weeks After Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-09 | This is what early facelift recovery can look like.My 49-year-old patient is shown before surgery, 3 days after surgery, 1 week after surgery, and 6 weeks after a preservation deep plane facelift.In this case, I used Auersvald hemostatic netting, which helps eliminate the need for surgical drains after facelift surgery.At 3 days, you can see the sutures right before they were removed. By 1 week, the stitch marks were already almost gone. By 6 weeks, they were essentially invisible.Every patient heals differently, but this is a helpful look at the recovery process over time.Results vary.

Breast Implant Size: Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-04 | Thinking about breast augmentation or choosing larger breast implants?Dr. Jason Hall explains why breast implant size should be a long-term decision, not just a short-term aesthetic choice. Bigger implants can place more stress on your skin, tissue, neck, back, and overall anatomy over time.The goal is not to choose the biggest implant possible. The goal is to choose the implant that fits your body, supports your long-term goals, and gives you a result you can feel confident in for years.Watch the full episode of The Trillium Show for more plastic surgery education.#breastaugmentation #breastimplants #plasticsurgery #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon
How Big Is Too Big? Plastic Surgeons Explain Breast Implant Sizing Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-04 | How do you know what breast implant size is right for your body?In this episode of The Trillium Show, Dr. Jason Hall sits down with Dr. Jessica Walker to talk about one of the biggest questions patients ask during a breast augmentation consultation: how big is too big?They discuss how plastic surgeons choose implant size, why cup size and cc’s can be misleading, how goal photos can help, and why your frame, measurements, tissue quality, and long-term goals matter more than a number.They also talk about what can happen when implants are too large, including stretched skin, thinning breast tissue, neck and back pain, complicated revision surgery, and why using a bigger implant to avoid a breast lift is usually not the right solution.If you are considering breast augmentation, this episode will help you understand how to think about implant sizing in a safer, more realistic, and long-term way.Watch now, and subscribe for more honest conversations about plastic surgery, aesthetics, and aging well.#breastaugmentation #breastimplants #plasticsurgery #breastimplantsizing #trilliumshow
GLP-1 Weight Loss: How to Protect Muscle Dr. Jason Hall 2026-06-02 | GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight loss, but fat loss and weight loss are not the same thing.A meaningful portion of weight lost during rapid weight loss can come from lean mass, which is why protein intake and resistance training matter so much.If you are taking a GLP-1 or considering one, the goal should be to lose fat while preserving muscle, strength, mobility, and long-term health.Talk with your prescribing clinician about a plan that supports your body composition, not just the number on the scale.#glp1 #weightloss #strengthtraining #musclemass #longevity

Is Preservé Breast Augmentation Worth the Hype? Dr. Jason Hall 2026-05-21 | Preservé by Motiva is one of the newest breast augmentation techniques getting attention online, but is it really a major innovation, or is it mostly social media hype?In this episode of The Trillium Show, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Walker to break down what Preservé breast augmentation actually is, how it works, and what patients should understand before getting swept up in the trend.We talk about Motiva implants, awake breast augmentation, smaller incisions, over-the-muscle versus under-the-muscle implant placement, and why the words “minimally invasive” do not automatically mean a procedure is better, safer, or right for every patient.We also get into the surgical questions that matter most, including pocket control, implant size limitations, the lack of long-term data, potential complications, and how social media can make new procedures look more proven than they really are.This conversation is not about dismissing new technology. It’s about helping patients understand what’s marketing, what’s medicine, and what questions they should ask before choosing any breast augmentation technique.If you’ve been researching Preservé by Motiva or Awake Breast Augmentation, this episode will help you better understand what the procedure is, who may be a good candidate, and what to consider before making a decision.To learn more or schedule a consultation, visit Trillium Plastic Surgery or contact us at info@trilliumsurgery.com.#preservé #motiva #breastaugmentation #plastic surgery #trilliumshow
Why You Might Need Revision Plastic Surgery (And How to Avoid It) Dr. Jason Hall 2026-04-23 | Most people think about plastic surgery as a one-time decision. In reality, a lot of patients end up needing a second procedure.In this episode, I’m breaking down revision plastic surgery, what it is, why it happens, and what you should know before your first operation if you want to avoid it.We cover:What revision surgery actually meansWhy good results can change over timeThe three biggest reasons patients need revisions: biology, planning, and expectationsWhy revision surgery is more difficult and less predictableThe risks most surgeons don’t talk aboutHow to reduce your chances of needing another procedureThis is one of the least discussed topics in plastic surgery, but it’s one of the most important if you’re considering any procedure.The goal is simple: help you make better decisions upfront so you don’t need to go back and fix something later.If you have questions or want me to cover something specific, drop a comment below or reach out on Instagram @drjasonhall.
When Plastic Surgery Becomes a Product… Patients Pay the Price Dr. Jason Hall 2026-04-09 | Plastic surgery didn’t used to look like this.What was once private, relationship-driven, and rooted in medicine has now become something you can scroll, shop, and finance, sometimes all before lunch.In this episode, I break down how plastic surgery moved from the operating room into the retail space, and what that shift actually means for patients.We talk about:• The history of plastic surgery and how it evolved• The role social media and influencers play in shaping expectations• The rise of med spas and “on-demand” cosmetic treatments• Why everything starting to look the same isn’t a coincidence• How safety, judgment, and outcomes are affected when price and speed take over• What happens when the doctor-patient relationship disappearsThis isn’t about gatekeeping surgery. It’s about understanding the environment you’re walking into, and making sure you’re set up for a good outcome.Because when surgery becomes a commodity, the person who pays the price isn’t the system… it’s the patient.Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.----plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, med spa, botox, fillers, plastic surgeon advice, cosmetic industry, aesthetic trends, bbl, lip fillers, plastic surgery risks, patient safety, dr jason hall, trillium show
Thinking About Cosmetic Surgery? Don’t Rush This Decision Dr. Jason Hall 2026-04-01 | Cosmetic surgery isn’t something you should be talked into, and it’s definitely not something you should rush.I see patients all the time who think they’re ready, but there are a few major things that need to be addressed first.In this episode, I break down 10 signs you might not be ready, from unrealistic expectations and filtered photos to bigger issues like body dysmorphia, life stress, and not having the right support system.This isn’t about gatekeeping surgery, it’s about setting you up for a good outcome.If you’re thinking about a procedure, start here.#plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #patienteducation #surgerytruth #bodyimage #mentalhealth
Body Dysmorphia and Plastic Surgery, What Most People Don’t Understand Dr. Jason Hall 2026-03-31 | One of the biggest red flags I look for in a consultation is body dysmorphia.When someone is hyper-focused on a flaw that’s minor, or doesn’t actually exist, surgery usually doesn’t fix the problem. In a lot of cases, it makes things worse.This is where cosmetic surgery can cross the line from helpful to harmful, and it’s why good surgeons know when to say no.If you’re thinking about surgery, this is something you need to understand first.#trilliumplasticsurgery #bodydysmorphia #bdd #aesthetics #plasticsurgeon #cosmeticsurgeon #patienteducation #informedconsumer #surgerytruth #medicalethics #beautyindustry #selfimage
The Breast Augmentation Insurance Double Standard Dr. Jason Hall 2026-03-30 | Insurance does cover breast augmentation… just not in the way most people think.In this short episode, I’m breaking down a reality that surprises a lot of patients when they come into my office. Women who feel uncomfortable in their bodies due to little or no breast tissue are paying out of pocket, while in some cases, insurance will cover breast implants for men.That raises a bigger question, why is the standard different?As a plastic surgeon, and as a father of daughters, this is something I think about a lot. If the goal of healthcare policy is fairness and improving quality of life, then the current system doesn’t really add up.In this episode, I walk through:- When insurance actually covers breast augmentation- Why most women don’t qualify- The gap in how policies are applied- And why this conversation matters for patientsI’m not here to sell you anything. I want you to understand how this industry actually works so you can make informed decisions and not fall for the noise online.Let me know what you think in the comments.—📘 The Art of Aging: Stop Wasting Money, Learn What Works, and Take Control of Your Beauty Routine by Dr. Jason Hall🎙️ Watch more episodes of The Trillium Show for honest conversations about plastic surgery, aesthetics, and the business behind it.
10 Signs You’re NOT Ready for Cosmetic Surgery (From a Plastic Surgeon) Dr. Jason Hall 2026-03-26 | Cosmetic surgery is everywhere right now, marketed like something you can just add to cart and figure out later. But the reality is, not everyone is ready for surgery, even if they think they are.In this episode, I walk through 10 signs that tell me a patient should pause before moving forward. These are the same things I look for in consultations to decide whether someone is actually a good candidate, or if surgery is more likely to lead to disappointment or complications.We talk about body dysmorphia, unrealistic expectations shaped by filters and AI, and the idea that surgery can fix deeper personal or relationship problems. I also cover things like rushing into surgery for an event, going through major life stress, not having a support system, smoking, and unstable weight.Cosmetic surgery can be a great tool, but only when the timing and mindset are right. The goal here is to help you make a better, more informed decision, not just follow what you’re seeing online.If you’re considering a procedure, this is a conversation you should hear first.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, dr jason hall, when to get plastic surgery, body dysmorphia plastic surgery, is cosmetic surgery worth it, plastic surgery risks, choosing a plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgery consultation, plastic surgery expectations, plastic surgery recovery, aesthetic surgery, trillium plastic surgery, the trillium show, board certified plastic surgeon
