Are lip lifts the secret to youthful, fuller lips—or a risky shortcut to social-media perfection?

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban pulls back the curtain on one of the most talked-about procedures trending today: the lip lift. He dissects the pros, cons, and everything you need to know before considering this permanent alternative to fillers. What exactly makes a lip lift different from injections? Who are the ideal candidates—and why should younger patients chasing the “Cupid’s bow” trend think twice? From scar placement to the recovery process, Dr. Rahban breaks down the delicate technique, the importance of dissolving fillers beforehand, and the real risks of turning a temporary enhancement into a lifelong alteration. Whether you’re a mature candidate seeking natural rejuvenation or simply curious about the hype, this episode challenges you to ask: are you ready for a permanent change, or are you looking for a short-term fix? With his trademark candor and patient-advocate approach, Dr. Rahban gives you the insight you won’t find on Instagram—helping you make an informed decision before it’s too late.

Scars. They’re the holy grail of plastic surgery—the thing every patient fears, and every surgeon tries to downplay. We’ve all heard it: “I’d get a tummy tuck, breast lift, or arm lift… if only it weren’t for the scar.” In this no-nonsense episode, Dr. Rady Rahban exposes the truth about scars: why they form, what really determines how they heal, and the industry secrets most surgeons will never tell you. Here’s what you’ll discover:

• 🚨 The 3 key factors that decide how your scar will look: your genetics, what happens during surgery, and what (little) matters afterward.
• 🩺 Why the way your surgeon closes your incision is the single most important predictor of your scar’s outcome.
• ⚠️ The shocking reality that in many operating rooms, your surgeon isn’t even the one closing you up.
• ❌ Why expensive creams, lasers, and scar protocols are mostly hype — and what actually makes the difference.
• ✅ Dr. Rahban’s meticulous closure techniques that produce scars far better than industry “norms.”

If you’ve ever wondered why some scars are practically invisible while others look unsightly, this episode will change the way you view plastic surgery forever.

"Is the fear of anesthesia keeping you from getting the surgery you want?"

For many patients, it’s not the scalpel they fear—it’s the idea of “going under.” In this must-hear episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban teams up with his long-time anesthesiologist, Dr. Houston, to answer the most common—and most misunderstood—questions about anesthesia. From the myths surrounding “twilight” sedation to the truth about general anesthesia safety, they unpack exactly what happens before, during, and after you’re asleep. What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The three main types of anesthesia—local, twilight/conscious sedation, and general—and when each is truly appropriate.
• Why “twilight is safer” isn’t the whole truth (and when it can actually be riskier).
• The inside story on nausea prevention—how a layered, multi-drug approach makes recovery smoother.
• What you should always ask about your anesthesiologist’s credentials—and why team chemistry in the OR can save lives.
• How new medications like Ozempic can affect anesthesia safety and timing.
• The reality about rare fears like “waking up during surgery” or being “awake but paralyzed.”
• Why general anesthesia is far safer today than most people think, especially in healthy patients in accredited facilities.

Why this episode matters:
Anesthesia is the co-pilot of your surgery. The best surgical result means nothing without safety at every step. This episode arms you with the exact questions and knowledge to make sure your anesthesia care is as exceptional as your surgical care. If you’ve ever delayed surgery out of fear, or you know someone who has, this is the conversation that could change their mind—and keep them safe.

Share this with a friend, leave a review if you learned something new, and drop your anesthesia questions for a future Q&A.

Have you ever looked in the mirror after surgery and thought… “Did I just make the biggest mistake of my life?” If so, you’re not alone—and this episode is for you.
