Unexpected Goodbye Savannah Chrisley Reveals Everything About Her Controversial Liposuction Decision
For the first time ever, the 27-year-old Chrisley Knows Best star opened up about her liposuction experience during the July 15th episode of her podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley.
Joined by her close friend and plastic surgeon, Dr. Charlie Gallanis, who performed the procedure, Savannah shared her truth with raw honesty and emotion — shedding light
on the private struggles that led to such a deeply personal decision.“I’ll just be honest here,” Savannah began candidly. “That’s what my life is these days — I’m honest about everything.
Charlie and I met because I wanted to get some work done. You did my lipo,” she said, laughing lightly but with the weight of vulnerability in her voice.
Savannah didn’t specify exactly when the surgery took place, but she revealed that it happened during a particularly difficult time in her life — a period marked by severe health issues, emotional strain, and an overwhelming sense of losing control.
“I was going through all kinds of issues with my endometriosis,” she explained. “I was on medication that caused me to gain forty pounds in just three months. It was crazy. My body changed so fast, I didn’t even recognize myself.”
Fans of the reality star may recall that Savannah has been open about her battle with endometriosis for years, revealing in 2020 that she had undergone her third surgery to manage the chronic condition. “The pain is unbearable at times,” she once wrote on Instagram, “and the emotional toll can be just as hard.”
So when the medication led to drastic weight gain right before an upcoming campaign shoot, Savannah felt trapped between her health struggles and her public image. “I hated how I looked,” she admitted. “And it wasn’t just about vanity — it was emotional, mental. When you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it affects everything — your confidence, your mood, your motivation.”
Savannah scheduled a virtual consultation with Dr. Gallanis, and within a week, she was flying to Beverly Hills with her mother, Julie Chrisley, to undergo the procedure. “It all happened so fast,” she said. “But I just knew I needed to do something for myself.”
For Savannah, liposuction wasn’t a desperate attempt to chase perfection or meet society’s beauty standards. It was about reclaiming control over her body and spirit after a season of intense personal hardship. “I didn’t get liposuction because I wanted to be perfect,” she explained. “I did it because I wanted to feel like myself again — because I was tired of picking myself apart in the mirror every day.”
Her surgeon, Dr. Gallanis, echoed that sentiment during the podcast. “It’s not about changing who you are,” he said. “It’s about helping you see yourself the way you want to feel. For Savannah, this wasn’t a vanity project — it was self-care.”
The results, Savannah shared, were transformative not only physically but emotionally. “When I looked in the mirror after six weeks and saw the difference, it wasn’t about looking ‘better,’” she said. “It was about feeling inspired to take care of myself again. It motivated me to live healthier, to move my body, to eat better — to love myself again.”
Savannah’s honesty struck a chord with listeners — but it also stirred controversy. As soon as the episode aired, social media lit up with mixed reactions. Some fans praised her transparency and bravery, while others criticized her for promoting cosmetic surgery to impressionable viewers.
