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.

But Savannah, true to her resilient spirit, addressed the backlash head-on. “The point of sharing my story isn’t to tell people to get surgery,” she clarified. “It’s to say that it’s okay to do what’s right for you. Whether that’s therapy, medication, working out, or surgery — your self-care is your choice. We’ve got to stop shaming people for how they choose to take care of themselves.”

Savannah’s openness also revealed how deeply the past few years have affected her. Since her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, began serving their prison sentences, Savannah has taken on the role of guardian for her younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe. That responsibility, combined with the public scrutiny surrounding her family’s legal troubles, pushed her to the edge.

“I felt like I was holding the world on my shoulders,” she admitted softly. “I wasn’t sleeping. Some days, I barely ate. Other days, I would stress-eat. My body changed, and I didn’t feel like myself anymore.”

The stress and hormonal imbalance exacerbated her health struggles, and despite her best efforts with nutritionists and trainers, her body refused to respond. “My hormones were off, my cortisol levels were high — I was exhausted,” Savannah explained. “So I made a choice to do something that helped me reset.”

Her decision also received heartfelt support from her loved ones. Her brother Chase Chrisley publicly praised her during an Instagram Live session, saying, “Savannah’s been through hell and back these past few years. If anyone deserves to do something for herself, it’s her.”

Savannah’s courage to speak openly about her procedure has inspired countless fans to share their own stories of body image struggles and healing. One fan commented, “You made me feel seen, Savannah. I’ve been so afraid to talk about wanting to do something for myself — but your honesty reminded me that it’s okay to prioritize my happiness.”

Still, Savannah emphasized that her transformation wasn’t just physical. “People see the surgery, but they don’t see the therapy, the journaling, the tears,” she confessed. “This wasn’t about changing who I am — it was about rediscovering the woman I’ve always been.”

As part of her healing journey, Savannah now focuses on holistic wellness — including meditation, balanced nutrition, and daily gratitude journaling, a practice her late grandmother inspired. “I start each morning writing down three things I’m grateful for,” she shared. “It reminds me that even in chaos, there’s always something good.”

Reflecting on her journey, Savannah credits her mother Julie’s lessons about inner beauty for keeping her grounded. “Mom always said real beauty isn’t about size or shape — it’s about kindness, strength, and grace,” she said, her voice breaking slightly. “I think she’d be proud that I’m finally doing something from a place of love, not insecurity.”

When asked whether she regrets her decision, Savannah didn’t hesitate. “Not for one second,” she smiled. “I feel lighter — not just physically, but emotionally. I’m at peace with my body, and that’s something every woman deserves.”

She closed the episode with a message that beautifully summed up her journey:
“This isn’t a story about surgery — it’s a story about self-acceptance and empowerment. It’s about taking your power back. If sharing my truth helps even one woman stop feeling ashamed of taking care of herself, then it was all worth it.”

Savannah Chrisley’s vulnerability has once again shown why she remains one of the most relatable and resilient figures in reality television. In a world obsessed with filters and perfection, Savannah’s courage to speak her truth reminds us that true beauty begins with authenticity, self-love, and the strength to own your story.
