Episode Details

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.
