Summary

Plastic surgery is often presented as a fast track to confidence — but the reality is far more complex.

Kelly sits down with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban to talk about the cultural shift around cosmetic procedures, the pressure to look younger, and why plastic surgery is still major surgery that deserves serious thought.

They explore the deeper motivations behind cosmetic procedures, how beauty standards have evolved in the social media era, and what responsible surgeons want patients to understand before going under the knife.

The conversation also covers how to evaluate a plastic surgeon, the red flags people should watch for, and how to approach aging with a healthier perspective in a culture that constantly pushes us to fight it.

I've been listening to a lot and was assessed with.

So we'll have to talk about that.

But he is changing the conversation and opening up some with transparently talking about

0:31.5

plastic surgery.

0:32.7

He has a huge emphasis on emotional and psychological roots of beauty and confidence.

0:38.6

Rather than glamorizing surgery, he peels back the layers of what motivates real change, whether it's aging gracefully

or building authentic self-worth. Hi, I'm so happy you're here. I appreciate you having

0:51.0

me on. I really do. Well, we just were talking, and I told you, I wished I was

I'm sure you love that business-wise. But as you said before, the conversation has really changed.

1:10.4

And it's being so openly discussed on social media, almost in a way that it's just completely normalized.

1:16.6

Do you think that this normalization is a good thing or a bad thing?

1:21.2

I think the reality is like everything. Let's take AI, for example, everything has an upside and a downside. And the reality of it as a person,

1:30.3

as an individual listening, is how do I navigate this in the best form for myself? As individuals that
