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. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

What happens when you experience a serious complication after plastic surgery—and the surgeon responsible for your care is nowhere to be found? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with a physician and mother of two who found herself in exactly that situation. She did her research, chose a board-certified plastic surgeon, checked his credentials, and entered surgery believing she had done everything right. But when she developed a postoperative infection weeks later, communication with her surgeon became increasingly difficult, leaving her to navigate a potentially dangerous complication largely on her own. Together, Dr. Rahban and his guest examine where her care broke down, what a surgeon’s responsibility should be when complications arise, and why choosing a qualified surgeon is only one part of protecting yourself as a patient. They also discuss the difficult reality of finding another plastic surgeon willing to take over postoperative care, the emotional toll of feeling abandoned after elective surgery, and what patients should do when they realize something isn’t right. This is a cautionary story every patient considering plastic surgery needs to hear—because complications can happen, but how your surgeon responds to them matters just as much as the surgery itself. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

What should you realistically expect when you decide to remove your implants? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his patient Raina for an honest conversation about explantation, the growing concerns surrounding implants, and what patients need to understand before making the decision to remove them. After years of living with implants, Reina developed significant asymmetry and capsular contracture, ultimately forcing her to consider what came next. Her goal was to go smaller and, if possible, remove her implants altogether—but only with a clear understanding of what her anatomy could realistically support. Together, Dr. Rahban and Reina discuss explantation, breast implant illness, capsular contracture, breast lifts, and the increasingly popular use of fat transfer after implant removal. Dr. Rahban explains why removing an implant is only one part of the equation—and why realistic expectations are critical when determining what can actually be achieved. Reina also shares what ultimately happened when Dr. Rahban removed her implants and was able to achieve the smaller, more proportional result she wanted without replacing them. If you have implants and have ever considered removing them, this is a conversation you need to hear before making that decision. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

What happens after you lose 100 pounds—or more? For many patients, reaching their goal weight is only half the journey. In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban explores the reality of massive weight loss and what happens to the body after significant changes in weight. While losing weight can dramatically improve health and quality of life, it can also leave behind substantial excess skin that diet, exercise, and further weight loss simply cannot address. Dr. Rahban breaks down the procedures commonly used in post-weight-loss body contouring, from arm and thigh lifts to circumferential body lifts, breast surgery, and the L-TAP procedure. He also explains why reaching a sustainable goal weight before surgery is critical, how these procedures should be strategically staged, and why surgical technique, markings, scar placement, and who closes your incisions can have a significant impact on the final result. Most importantly, this episode is about planning for the entire journey—not just the number on the scale. If you are currently losing a significant amount of weight, have already reached your goal, or are considering body contouring afterward, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear before deciding what comes next. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

Is it safe to have multiple plastic surgery procedures performed at the same time—and should one surgeon be trusted to do them all? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban explores the benefits, risks, and realities of combining procedures with his patient Tara, who is three months out from undergoing both a rhinoplasty and augmentation during a single operation. Combining procedures can offer a unique advantage: one surgeon, one surgical plan, and one recovery. But doing it successfully requires more than convenience. Dr. Rahban explains why true surgical versatility matters, and the risk patients take when choosing a surgeon who may excel at one procedure but lack the same level of expertise in another. When multiple procedures are performed together, each result should be held to the same standard. Tara shares what it was like searching for a surgeon who could meet both of her goals without compromise, why natural results were so important to her, and how social media influenced her decision-making along the way. From surgical versatility and safety to recovery and choosing the right surgeon, this episode breaks down what patients need to consider before combining procedures—and the value of finding a surgeon with the expertise to do it all. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

Would you travel abroad for plastic surgery if it meant saving thousands of dollars? For many patients, the lower price is enough to make destination surgery incredibly appealing—but what happens when something goes wrong? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban takes on the controversial topic of traveling outside the United States for cosmetic surgery. While cost is often the driving factor, Dr. Rahban explains why evaluating the safety of surgery requires looking far beyond the surgeon performing the procedure. From preoperative testing and anesthesia to surgical facilities, emergency care, and postoperative follow-up, there is an entire system surrounding every operation. Dr. Rahban discusses why that system matters, particularly when patients undergo multiple procedures, recover far from home, and board a plane shortly after surgery. He also explores one of the biggest challenges of destination surgery: what happens after you return home. Who manages a complication? Where do you go for follow-up care? And can the money saved initially quickly disappear when additional medical treatment becomes necessary? This episode is not about suggesting that complications only happen abroad or that excellent surgeons cannot be found outside the United States. It is about understanding risk, accountability, and the importance of looking at the complete picture before making a decision based primarily on price.

What happens when you do everything “right” after pregnancy—eat well, exercise consistently, rebuild your strength—and your body still doesn’t recover the way you expected? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his patient Heather, a lifelong athlete and personal trainer who never imagined she would consider plastic surgery. After two pregnancies and C-sections, Heather found herself dealing with persistent diastasis recti, lower back pain, loss of core function, and abdominal changes that no amount of training could correct. Together, Dr. Rahban and Heather explore: Why diastasis recti cannot simply be “exercised away”How pregnancy can affect core strength, back pain, bladder function, and overall stabilityWhy even highly fit women can struggle to restore their abdomen after pregnancyThe difference between strengthening separated abdominal muscles and actually repairing themWhat recovery from an abdominoplasty is really likeThe guilt and stigma many women experience when considering surgery after having childrenHeather also shares her experience returning to an intense fitness routine after surgery—and why, despite being initially terrified of the procedure, she now considers it one of the best decisions she has made. This episode challenges the idea that every postpartum change can be solved with enough discipline in the gym. Sometimes, understanding what exercise can—and cannot—fix is the first step toward finding the right solution. Tune in to hear Heather’s story and an important conversation about fitness, function, and what it really means to restore the body after pregnancy. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

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. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

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 skinThe most common body contouring procedures and how they differWhy removing skin is not the same as creating an aesthetically refined resultHow surgical technique affects scars, contour, symmetry, and recoveryWhen revision surgery may be appropriateHow the L-TAP procedure addresses difficult areas of residual laxityBut 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. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

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. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

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. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

Most people don't have a skincare problem—they have a misinformation problem. In the final installment of this five-part series on nonsurgical aesthetic treatments, Dr. Rady Rahban is joined once again by Charlene to examine the biggest skincare mistakes they see patients make every day. From spending hundreds of dollars on luxury products with little scientific backing to following complicated routines that are impossible to maintain, they explain why effective skincare is often much simpler than the beauty industry would have you believe. Together, they discuss what medical-grade skincare actually means, why ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, moisturizer, and sunscreen remain the foundation of healthy skin, and how consistency—not complexity—is what produces long-term results. They also explore common concerns including acne, rosacea, pigmentation, and melasma, and explain when skincare alone is enough—and when treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, or prescription therapies become necessary. Whether you're just beginning a skincare routine or looking to simplify the one you already have, this episode offers a practical, evidence-based approach to healthier skin while helping you avoid the mistakes that cost patients the most time, money, and results. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation? In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies. Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results. This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.

What does it actually mean when a med spa says it offers “laser treatments”? The answer is far more complicated than most patients realize. In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban is joined once again by Charlene, RN, for part three of their series examining the increasingly popular and often misunderstood world of nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. T ogether, Dr. Rahban and Charlene break down technologies including BBL, IPL, erbium resurfacing, and HALO, while exploring one of the most important issues in laser medicine: treating darker skin tones safely. They also discuss the relationship between downtime and results, why more aggressive treatments are not always appropriate for every patient, and how improper settings or inadequate pre- and post-treatment skincare can lead to burns, worsening pigmentation, and disappointing outcomes. This episode is not about promoting one laser or claiming that a single device can do it all. In fact, that is precisely the point. The right technology must be matched to the right problem, the right skin type, and the right patient. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored: ✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. ✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us. ✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education: Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life. 🎙️ Plastic Surgery Uncensored: Real talk.
