Sometimes the best answer from your plastic surgeon is “not yet.”

It’s not about turning you away or denying you your goals. It’s about making sure you’re in the best position and condition to have a safe surgery and recovery.

As a plastic surgeon, one of my priorities will always be your safety.

This is especially important when planning procedures after massive weight loss, where your health, history, and individual needs can all play a role in deciding when and how surgery should be performed.

Finding the right surgeon for you means finding someone who will be honest about what you can expect, what your options are, and when surgery may not be the right choice yet.

Your goals matter and so does your safety.

The biggest wins aren't always on the scale.

After losing 120 pounds, Jenny Espino shares how surreal it feels to realize she now weighs about the same as her teenage son. But what matters even more is what this journey has given her with her family.

In this clip from The Confidence Doc®, Jenny opens up about how proud her boys are of her transformation and Dr. Vinaya Rednam reflects on what sits at the heart of so much of Jenny's journey: being able to show up, stay active, and be fully involved in her children's lives.

Because sometimes the most meaningful part of changing your life is realizing how much more of it you get to experience with the people you love. ❤️

Four years ago POP Recovery Systems was just an idea born in a recovery room. 💜

One patient. One gap nobody was filling. One woman who decided that if the system did not exist she was going to build it.

Today we have walked alongside 6,000 patients through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Before the table. After the table. Through the swelling and the fear and the days when recovery felt impossible.

And somewhere in the middle of building this something unexpected happened.

Our annual surgery sponsorship started changing lives!

And everything weve been building for other patients started to catch attention.

That is what the surgery industry needs and what POP does.

It does not just change your body.
It changes what you believe is possible for yourself.

That is the mission of POP Recovery Systems.

Not just recovery.
Transformation. 💜

And we are not done.

In July 2027 we are bringing that mission to Houston Texas for the BME Women’s Transformation Conference.

Board certified surgeons.
Wellness and anti-aging experts.
Obesity medicine specialists.
Plastic Surgery sponsorship.
Bariatric and GLP1 sponsorships. And real women who have lived this journey.

All in one room.
For you.

Because you deserve a room that was built around your transformation, not just your procedure. 💜

Plastic surgery brought together so many things that Dr. Rednam loved.

🤍 Dr. Rednam has always loved both science and art, and their intersection is what drew her to plastic surgery. Even outside of the operating room, she’s always been drawn to fashion, design, and creating her own jewelry collection.

Her work with patients after massive weight loss also allows her to build long-term relationships and be part of their journey through different chapters of their lives.

💎 Who knew science and art could intersect in one field?

For the doctors and providers reading this, what made you choose your specialty? We’d love to hear your story in the comments.

“Isn’t taking a GLP-1 cheating?”

It’s a judgment many people on a weight loss journey have heard. But for Jenny Espino, who has struggled with obesity since she was 9 years old, the conversation is much more complicated than simply taking a medication to lose weight.

In this clip from The Confidence Doc®, Jenny and Dr. Vinaya Rednam talk about obesity as a chronic medical condition, the possibility that some patients may use GLP-1 medications longer term at different doses, and why sharing these experiences openly can help someone else feel less alone in exploring their options.

Jenny’s journey is a reminder that there’s no prize for making your path harder just to prove you did it on your own.

What really changes when you lose 120 pounds?

For Jenny Espino, the journey wasn't a straight line. After bariatric surgery, weight regain following a major back injury, and years of struggling with food, starting Zepbound became another turning point in her story.

In this episode of The Confidence Doc®, Jenny sits down with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Vinaya Rednam, to talk honestly about turning off the “food noise,” reaching her goal weight, undergoing skin removal surgery, and discovering what life on the other side of such a major transformation actually looks like.
From being more active with her family to rediscovering her personal style, this conversation is about so much more than losing weight. It’s about getting your life back.

GLP-1s aren't just changing weight loss. They're changing plastic surgery too.

As more patients experience significant weight loss, Dr. Joubin Gabbay is seeing a new era of body contouring emerge, one where patients aren't only looking to remove excess skin. They also want thoughtful results, a manageable recovery, and to get back to their lives sooner.

In this clip from The Confidence Doc®, Dr. Gabbay and Dr. Vinaya Rednam discuss how post-weight-loss surgery is evolving and why today's approach looks very different from the massive operations of the past.

The weight-loss landscape has changed. Body contouring is changing with it.
