'MAGA Barbie' Savannah Chrisley talks undergoing liposuction after 40lb weight gain and rhinoplasty horror
The 27-year-old platinum blonde TV star — who cozied up to President Donald Trump to facilitate her parents' pardon from prison — had a candid conversation with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Charlie Galanis, during which she explained why she underwent liposuction.
'I was going through all kinds of s***t with my endometriosis,' she recalled about what prompted her to go under the knife. 'I had taken this medication and I gained 40 pounds in like three months. It was crazy. And I had to do this like campaign shoot and I hated how I looked.'
Endometriosis is a condition characterized by tissue that normally lines the uterus growing elsewhere in the body. 1 in 10 women experience it.
Chrisley also spoked about the terrible rhinoplasty that left her nose crooked.
In the episode, titled 'Be Curious, Not Judgmental,' Chrisley shared that a higher cost doctor doesn't always translate to better results.

'I got my nose done by a guy in Beverly Hills, and he was known as the "it guy." I went and got it done and it was literally crooked,' she detailed.
'I was like, this does not look good,' she added before sharing that she went to 'one of my dad's friends to fix it.'
Now, she says about her nose, 'I love it, looks great.'
She then emphasized that 'just because [plastic surgery] is a certain price or just because [a doctor] has done such and such celebrity],' doesn't guarantee a satisfactory procedure.
The Chrisley Knows Best alum didn't say exactly when she had her liposuction, but noted that it was 'a while ago,' while adding that it 'happened fast,' taking place just one week after her virtual consultation.
'I went to Beverly Hills, mom [Julie Chrisley] went with me, I did the surgery. And for me, it was just, I felt like s**t. I didn't like how I looked,' she remembered.
She pointed out, 'If you don't like how you look, it doesn't just take a toll on you physically, but emotionally and mentally.'
Post-procedure, Savannah regained her confidence.
'Speaking from personal experience, when I got my lipo done, I felt like... when you can look in the mirror and see a difference, it made me want to live healthier.
She also spoke about undergoing two rhinoplasties, with the first one needing to be fixed because her nose was 'crooked'; pictured right in 2014 and left in 2024
'When I saw the results, I was like, oh my gosh. I wanna keep this up,' she said of the life-changing ordeal.
And she said she looked like a 'totally different human being' afterward.
Savannah's parents Todd, 56, and Julie Chrisley, 52, were both convicted in 2022 for orchestrating a $30 million bank fraud and tax evasion scheme.
They were serving multi-year sentences before they were pardoned by President Donald Trump in May, due to their daughter's staunch advocacy for their release.
During a press conference in Nashville, Tennessee in May, the media personality slammed critics and defended her persistent efforts to free her mom and dad.
'Obviously the biggest misconception right now is that I either paid for a pardon or slept for a pardon,' she said to a hoard of media outlets.
'That's the biggest misconception right now, and if people knew the countless hours and the money and the time that I spent going to D.C., literally with not a meeting scheduled, and I just got on a plane and went and said, "I'm going to be in the right room at the right time and meet the right people..."' she added.

Jimmy Kimmel weighs in on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert cancellation
CBS has announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, with its final episode scheduled for May 2026. The network and Paramount stated that the decision to end the long-running franchise was purely financial, not related to the show's performance or content. Stephen Colbert confirmed the news to his live audience, explaining that the show would conclude rather than him being replaced. Fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel publicly defended Colbert, criticising CBS for their decision. Despite the cancellation, The Late Show currently leads its time slot in ratings, having gained viewers this year with approximately 2.417 million viewers.

Clay Travis thinks Stephen Colbert's anti-Donald Trump 'swill' played part in ruthless CBS axe
OutKick founder Clay Travis believes Donald Trump has sped up the decline of late night talkshows, after Stephen Colbert 's program was canceled this week. The 'Late Show' was axed this week and according to reports, was losing up to $40million a year - a figure bosses at CBS ultimately decided was unsustainable for its best-known show. Advertising revenue for Colbert's show has dropped 40% since 2018. Colbert regularly attacked Donald Trump over the airwaves - the President reacted with glee when the news broke Thursday of Colbert's demise - but Travis believes the anti-Trump agenda of multiple late night talkshows is a reason behind their widespread struggles. He wrote on X on Saturday: 'I think the late night comedy shows have been replaced by actual comedy specials — it used to be pretty hard to see comedy sets, now streaming has a billion — & podcasts, which do much better and more authentic interviews with 'famous' people than the five minute late show interviews. 'I'd argue the late night show audience got split and erased by those two alternatives. Having said that, late night shows might have had another decade if they'd stuck to making fun of both sides instead of becoming bastions of anti-Trump swill. 'They thought crushing Trump was their salvation, in reality he accelerated their obsolescence.' The 46-year-old Travis, who launched the sports and opinion website in 2011, posted several thoughtful suggestions over how and why talkshows appear to be struggling for viewers - none more so than on CBS. When 'The Late Late Show' host James Corden left in 2023, CBS opted not to hire a replacement. The network also canceled 'After Midnight' this year, after host Taylor Tomlinson chose to return to full-time stand-up comedy. Travis also scrutinized their efforts to adapt to the demands of the internet age. 'Late night comedy forgot their shows served everyone & decided to pursue Internet niche instead,' he wrote. 'I think lots of big brands have over indexed what 'Twitter' thinks. ESPN, for instance. And it has largely made their brands and product worse. 'Challenge in Internet age is bland content that appeals to everyone doesn't have the hard core fandom depth necessary to succeed there. 'Most 'TV people' don't work on Internet because authenticity is most important trait in Internet era and TV guys and gals often are pretty fake. Interesting thing to me is now TV is just taking Internet people and putting them on TV to try and save itself.' Trump made no effort in hiding his delight at the news of Colbert's show ending. He wrote on Truth Social: 'I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. 'His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! 'Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.'

Kim Zolciak, 47, strips down to tiny bikini after revealing ALL the plastic surgery she has had done
Kim Zolciak took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to show off her figure in a stringy black bikini. The 47-year-old mother-of-six — who just detailed all her cosmetic surgeries — posed in a close-up mirror selfie revealing her busty chest as she modeled a triangle top with tiny white bow accents. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star showed off her slim waistline in the swimwear's matching thong bottoms. Her long blonde hair was thrown into a carefree updo as she wrote, 'Suit on... on the way out the door to get a little sun then [rain emoji].' She rocked an almond-shaped French manicure and wore rectangular black-rimmed eyeglasses in the picture. Zolciak appeared on a recent episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. She and her 28-year-old firstborn daughter Brielle spoke candidly about going under the knife to change their appearance. Kim listed multiple procedures, including the 'mommy makeover' she underwent in 2014, which consisted of a tummy tuck and a breast lift. 'I've done my boobs a few times. Then I had a tummy tuck. I did have filler in my lip. I do Botox all the time,' she said. In addition to Brielle, she is also mother to Ariana, 23, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11, whom she shares with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. 'I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans, so I did a mommy makeover. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to let yourself go,' she explained of her decision to surgically enhance her figure. Kim also shared that she used Ultatherapy, a non-surgical treatment that performs a lift and tightening on the skin, to shape her jaw. She also divulged her non-cosmetic medical history, sharing that she addressed a herniated disc with a neck surgery. However she made no mention of her 'laser vaginal rejuvenation,' which she underwent in 2023 amid her divorce and her reported money problems. Kim disclosed that her reason for going on the Botched spin-off was that she had been hoping 'to go under the skin and tighten it up' with a contouring procedure that ended up having the 'opposite' effect of the one intended. Explaining the thinking behind her extensive surgeries, she said: 'My mom always said growing up, if I had really big ears or a really big nose that bothered me or whatever it may have been, she would have fixed it.' Kim, who had Brielle and Ariana while in previous relationships before they were adopted by Kroy, added: 'I've always kind of said the same thing to my girls.'
