Plastic Surgery Uncensored

Facial fillers have transformed aesthetic medicine—but they've also become one of its most controversial treatments. From "pillow face" to overfilled lips and viral celebrity reversals, it's no surprise that many patients are questioning whether fillers are still the right choice.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by Charlene, RN, for a comprehensive discussion on facial fillers. Together, they explain the different types of fillers available, why hyaluronic acid fillers remain the gold standard, and how the right product, technique, and injector can make all the difference.
The conversation explores where fillers can produce beautiful, natural results—including the cheeks and temples—as well as areas that require greater caution, such as the under-eyes, lips, jawline, chin, nose, and nasolabial folds. Dr. Rahban also discusses why so many patients have developed an unnatural appearance over the past decade, when filler should be dissolved, and how to recognize when surgery, not more filler, is the better solution.
Whether you're considering filler for the first time or trying to understand the growing backlash against it, this episode offers an honest, evidence-based guide to using fillers safely, conservatively, and appropriately.

With so many neuromodulators on the market, it's easy to assume the product is what determines the outcome. In reality, that's only part of the story.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for a comprehensive discussion on Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, and the growing world of neuromodulators. Together, they explain how these products work, what distinguishes them from one another, and why the skill and judgment of the injector often have a far greater impact than the name on the vial.
From forehead lines and crow's feet to masseters, gummy smiles, neck bands, and lip flips, this conversation explores the most common treatment areas while separating evidence-based medicine from today's aesthetic trends.
If you've ever considered Botox—or simply want to better understand what these treatments can and can't do—this episode is an honest, practical guide to achieving natural, balanced results through a conservative approach.

What if one of the most popular non-surgical procedures in aesthetic medicine is also one of the most misunderstood?
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban takes an in-depth look at liquid rhinoplasty—a procedure that has surged in popularity thanks to its promise of immediate results, minimal downtime, and the ability to alter the appearance of the nose without surgery.
But beneath the appeal lies a far more complex reality.
Dr. Rahban breaks down what liquid rhinoplasty actually is, the anatomical principles that make it effective in certain situations, and why it is often being used to address concerns it was never designed to correct. He explains which patients may benefit from strategically placed filler, why others are poor candidates, and how an incomplete understanding of nasal anatomy can lead to devastating consequences.
This conversation goes far beyond social media transformations and before-and-after photos. It explores the limitations of filler, the importance of proper patient selection, and the potentially catastrophic complications that can occur when injections are performed in one of the most anatomically complex regions of the face—including vascular occlusion, tissue necrosis, and even blindness.
If you've ever considered a liquid rhinoplasty, been told filler can "fix" your nose, or want to understand the difference between temporary camouflage and true structural correction, this episode is essential listening.
Topics covered include:
• What liquid rhinoplasty actually is
• How filler can improve select nasal contour irregularities
• Who may be an appropriate candidate
• Why some noses should never be treated with filler
• The limitations of non-surgical nose reshaping
• Vascular occlusion and tissue necrosis explained
• The rare but devastating risk of blindness
• Why nasal anatomy matters
• Liquid rhinoplasty vs. surgical rhinoplasty
• When surgery is the more appropriate solution
This is a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion about one of aesthetic medicine's most controversial procedures—and the information every patient should understand before allowing anyone to inject their nose.

What happens when a split-second accident changes the way you see yourself for more than a decade?
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, I sit down with Jasmine, a former Navy service member who spent 11 years living with a traumatic lip deformity after a sports injury involving braces. What began as a seemingly routine injury left her with permanent changes to her lip shape, affecting her confidence, smile, photos, and daily interactions for years.
Together, we explore a topic rarely discussed in plastic surgery: lip reduction and corrective lip reconstruction. While the world is flooded with information about lip fillers and lip augmentation, very few patients know that surgical solutions exist for traumatic lip deformities, scar tissue, and post-injury asymmetries. In this episode, we discuss:
• How lip trauma can permanently alter lip shape
• Why many patients struggle for years to find answers
• The difference between cosmetic enhancement and reconstructive surgery
• The emotional burden of living with a visible facial deformity
• Who may be a candidate for lip reduction surgery
Jasmine's story is a powerful reminder that even a seemingly small physical concern can have a profound impact on confidence, self-image, and quality of life. And sometimes, the right solution is closer than you think.
