"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.

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.

This week on Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his lovely rhinoplasty patient, Leeor, just three months post-op. What started as fear and doubt after her cast came off—complete with a silent stare and a pit in her stomach—evolved into trust, transformation, and finally, confidence. In this brutally honest conversation, we unpack:

• The emotional rollercoaster no one prepares you for after rhinoplasty
• Why the cast reveal moment isn’t always filled with tears of joy (and why that’s OK)
• The soufflé effect—Dr. Rahban’s favorite analogy for nose healing
• The difference between aesthetic rhinoplasty and reconstructive rhinoplasty (and why it matters 10 years from now)
• The critical role of your support system—and how the wrong person by your side can derail your recovery

If you're considering nose surgery or supporting someone who is, this is a must-listen. It's raw, real, and packed with the kind of truths you won’t find on Instagram.

What happens when your body changes—but your implants don’t?

In this powerful episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with his patient and friend, Raina, to explore a deeply personal and increasingly common question: What if you’re not sure whether to keep your implants or remove them? From breast augmentation and capsular contracture to animation deformity and the decision to explant—Raina opens up about the physical, emotional, and psychological toll of living in “the in-between.” Not quite loving your implants. Not quite hating them. Just feeling... off. This episode pulls back the curtain on:

• What breast implant illness (BII) might really mean
• The truth about fat transfer during explantation
• Why honesty and surgical flexibility matter more than ever
• And what it’s like to finally feel like yourself again

If you—or someone you love—is struggling with their decision, this candid conversation may offer the clarity and hope you’ve been looking for.
