Maggie Solo Episode: Why I Got a Breast Augmentation—And What No One Tells Ambitious Women About Surgery, Recovery & Self-Confidence

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Hot Smart Rich, Maggie opens up about something she’s never talked about publicly before—her recent natural breast augmentation, also known as an NFTBA (Natural Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation). From the real cost of the procedure to the unexpected emotional rollercoaster of recovery, this is the tell-all she wishes had existed when she was making her decision.

She breaks down exactly what the experience was like—both physically and professionally. From downtime as a founder and managing brand campaigns while recovering, to the mental load of plastic surgery as a high-achieving woman, Maggie shares the part no one talks about.

If you’ve ever typed “fat transfer breast augmentation reviews” into Reddit, wondered whether fat transfer actually lasts, or debated between implants vs natural enhancement—this is your go-to guide. She also reveals why Dr. Steven Teitelbaum was her surgeon of choice, what no one tells you about post-op depression, and how this surgery intersected with her identity, body image, and ambition.

What This Episode Covers:

• Why Maggie chose fat transfer over implants (and what she’d do differently)
• What to expect with plastic surgery downtime while running a business
• What Maggie wore during recovery, what helped her heal, and what no one warned her about
• The actual cost and why it was over $17K
• The business of beauty and how investors and VCs are capitalizing on medical aesthetics and plastic surgery
• How to approach elective surgery as a working woman in the corporate world

This is for the woman who’s ambitious, informed, and unapologetic about wanting to feel confident in her body—and still wants the full breakdown before making a decision.

Whether you’re in your “research era” or just here for the tea, Maggie’s story will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and maybe a little less alone.
