Description

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin bust the most common myths about recovering from cosmetic surgery. If you’ve got surgery scaries, they’re here to calm your nerves, from setting realistic expectations to being totally ready for surgery.

Recovery can be an emotional rollercoaster, but with the right support system around you, you'll breeze through it and come out looking better than ever.

Find out what recovery timelines REALLY look like (and how to plan), how much bruising and swelling is normal (and when to worry), and what’s actually scary and what’s just part of the process. 

Alabama the Beautiful is the cosmetic surgery podcast co-hosted by Dr. James Koehler, a surgeon with over 2 decades of expertise in cosmetic surgery and his trusty co-host Kirstin, your best friend, confidante, and the snarky yet loveable “swiss army knife” of Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery.
