Plastic Surgery Uncensored

She came in because she couldn’t breathe. She left with a better nose, cleaner eyelids, and lips that finally looked like hers again.Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with a 39-year-old patient from San Diego who drove two hours to share her story. They cover all three of the procedures she had done in one surgery:
Rhinoplasty with septoplasty: fixing a deviated septum and reducing the turbinates to improve breathing, plus refining the bridge and tip without making her look like someone else
Upper blepharoplasty: why the eyelids are often the first thing to change in your late 30s, and how Dr. Rahban worked around a beauty mark her mom would never forgive her for losing
Lip reduction: what happens when liquid silicone injected in your 20s slowly expands a decade later, why it can’t be removed, and how a lip reduction corrects it
She also explains how she vetted surgeons: what to look for in reviews, why she checked licenses, and why a surgeon who told her “no” ended up earning her trust.If you’re thinking about surgery, or you had silicone lip injections years ago, this episode is for you.

Renee is a teacher who had a facelift at 52, and four months later, nobody can tell.

They cover the real recovery, why timing matters more than technique, the “pillow face” filler backlash, and whether a $300K facelift is ever worth it.

Candice has been an OBGYN for 30 years. When she wanted body contouring, she faced the same problem every patient does: everyone is board certified and everyone has great before and afters. So how do you choose?On this week’s Plastic Surgery Uncensored, she sits down with me as both a physician and a patient. We talk about:
Why board certification is the minimum, not the measure
What she looked for in before and after photos that most people miss
Why “who can see me first” and “who’s cheapest” are the wrong questions
What a virtual consult should look like (hint: not from the car with the top down)
AlloClae, donor fat for lean patients who want modest volume, and the honest questions that still need answers
If you’re researching a surgeon right now, this is the one to listen to.

Diana was 25 when she came in for a rhinoplasty. All she knew was that she didn't like her nose.

Four years later, she shares what actually changed. In this episode, Dr. Rady Rahban and Diana talk about:

Why most patients can't pinpoint what bothers them about their nose

How the chin and neck affect how the nose looks

Why every rhinoplasty should protect breathing, even when breathing "seems fine"

The sleep, exercise, and headache changes Diana noticed after surgery

What a thorough consultation and aftercare process looks like

Why several subtle procedures can look more natural than one dramatic one

Diana's advice for anyone considering surgery: do your research, take your consultations seriously, and don't let fear of judgment make the decision for you.Individual results vary. Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals.

What happens when you're unhappy with the results of your rhinoplasty? Can a second surgery really fix it?
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban takes a deep dive into revision rhinoplasty, explaining why correcting a previous nose surgery is significantly more complex than performing the original procedure.
From scar tissue and compromised anatomy to breathing difficulties and structural reconstruction, Dr. Rahban breaks down what makes revision rhinoplasty so challenging and why choosing the right surgeon is critical.
He also explores why patients must allow adequate healing time before considering another surgery, the role of cartilage grafting, the realities of a prolonged recovery, and why even the most experienced surgeons cannot guarantee a perfect outcome.
For anyone considering a second rhinoplasty, this episode offers an essential perspective on what can realistically be improved, when another surgery may be appropriate, and when the risks may outweigh the potential benefits.
Before undergoing another nose surgery, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
