  Breast Implant Safety: Facts, Fears & Controversies 11.08.2026 34min

  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.

  Everything You Need to Know About Breast Implants (Part 1) 04.08.2026 45min

  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.

  The Art & Anatomy of a Strong Jawline 19.05.2026 22min

  Have you ever wondered why strong jawlines are so universally attractive?In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban explores the anatomy, structure, and surgical realities behind one of the most defining features of facial beauty: the jawline.From celebrities and social media to everyday patients searching for sharper definition, the demand for a stronger jawline has exploded. But Dr. Rahban explains why most people misunderstand what actually creates a strong, attractive jawline—and why so many modern treatments fail to address the real issue.A beautiful jawline is not a single feature, nor is it created with a single procedure.
