Plastic Surgery Uncensored

What makes plastic surgery for men fundamentally different?
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban takes a closer look at male aesthetics—an increasingly popular area of plastic surgery that remains far less discussed and understood than its female counterpart.
For men, the margin for error can be remarkably small. Subtle changes to the nose, eyelids, brow, or jawline can improve facial balance, but overcorrection can just as easily compromise the masculine features that made someone attractive in the first place.
Dr. Rahban explores the procedures men are seeking at different stages of life, from rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and otoplasty to eyelid surgery, facelifts, gynecomastia correction, and body contouring. He also examines how social media, online dating, and changing cultural expectations are influencing the way men think about their appearance.
And with the rise of GLP-1 medications and significant weight loss, an entirely new group of male patients is now seeking surgery to address excess skin and changes to the body.
Whether you're a man considering an aesthetic procedure or simply curious about why the rules of plastic surgery can be so different for men, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in for an honest look at what works, what doesn't, and why getting male aesthetics right requires an entirely different approach.

What happens after you lose more than 200 pounds? The weight may be gone—but the journey is far from over.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his patient Aya, who shares her extraordinary journey from 400 pounds to 175. After multiple bariatric procedures and years of navigating significant changes to her weight and body, Aya ultimately faced a challenge common among massive weight loss patients: what to do with the excess skin left behind.
Together, Dr. Rahban and Aya explore:
Why massive weight loss almost inevitably leaves behind excess skin
The most common body contouring procedures and how they differ
Why removing skin is not the same as creating an aesthetically refined result
How surgical technique affects scars, contour, symmetry, and recovery
When revision surgery may be appropriate
How the L-TAP procedure addresses difficult areas of residual laxity
But this conversation goes beyond surgery. Aya opens up about body image, maintaining her weight loss, and the psychological adjustment of learning to see herself differently after spending much of her life overweight.Aya’s story offers a revealing look at a side of massive weight loss that is rarely discussed—and the physical and emotional work that continues long after the number on the scale changes.

Are breast implants safe—and what does the science actually tell us about their risks?
In Part Two of this two-part series, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban dives into some of the most controversial and widely debated issues surrounding breast implants, separating legitimate concerns from misinformation and marketing.
Dr. Rahban breaks down the rare cancers associated with textured implants, what patients need to understand about Motiva and newer implant technology, and why the newest implant is not necessarily the best choice for every patient.
He then tackles one of the most contentious topics in plastic surgery: breast implant illness (BII). What do we actually know? What remains scientifically unclear? And why is it important to acknowledge the experiences of patients with BII without generalizing those experiences to everyone with breast implants?
The conversation also explores explant surgery, capsulectomy, and an often-overlooked reality of implant removal: what patients can realistically expect their breasts to look like afterward.
From implant safety and BII to emerging technology and explant surgery, this episode addresses the questions and controversies patients are hearing about now—and provides the context they need to make informed decisions without being driven by fear, trends, or hype.

How do you separate fact from fiction when it comes to breast implants?
Breast implants remain one of the most commonly performed—and most misunderstood—procedures in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Despite decades of use, misinformation continues to shape how patients think about implant safety, sizing, placement, and long-term outcomes.
In this first installment of a two-part series, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding breast implants before discussing the controversies surrounding them. From saline versus silicone and the truth about "gummy bear" implants to implant placement, incision options, sizing philosophy, and surgical technique, this episode is designed to give patients the knowledge they need to make informed decisions rather than emotional ones.
Dr. Rahban also explains why breast implants are used for far more than cosmetic enhancement, how anatomy—not trends—should dictate implant selection, and why many of the complications seen after breast augmentation can often be traced back to poor planning or oversized implants.
Whether you're considering breast augmentation, facing breast reconstruction after cancer, or simply want to better understand one of the most debated procedures in plastic surgery, this episode offers an honest, evidence-based discussion every patient should hear before making a decision.
