Summary

How can you distinguish between a plastic surgeon's actual skill and a clever marketing campaign? I’m joined by Dr. Rady Rahban for a very real conversation about celebrity plastic surgery, facelifts, fillers, and the beauty expectations women are navigating after 40. We talk about why even famous people with unlimited resources can end up with disappointing results, and why edited photos and dramatic “reveals” can create unrealistic expectations for the rest of us. Dr. Rahban also explains what actually starts changing in the face around midlife, how fillers became so overused, and what you need to know before chasing a look that may not even be real. (00:26) How celebrities frequently experience botched surgeries despite having access to immense wealth and top-tier resources. (01:53) Why many plastic surgeons struggle to say no to famous clientele and end up performing unnecessary operations. (02:16) Why you cannot use surgery to fix an aging problem that has not actually occurred yet. (02:44) How aggressive marketing campaigns can easily mask a surgeon's poor reviews and lack of actual skill. (03:41) The truth behind Kris Jenner's viral facelift reveal and the reality of how a face settles three months post-surgery. (07:07) Why a broad surgical focus makes a doctor far more well-rounded than someone who only specializes in one area. (08:34) The predictable physiological changes and facial shifts you will naturally experience when you reach your 40s. (11:31) How a gradual, repetitive cycle of getting cosmetic fillers leads to an unnatural and puffy face over time.

0:34.5	These have been my go-toes, and I kind of think of them as a middle ground between a true run short and a more playful, athletic sporty short. They have all the performance you want for running, so a comfy liner, our lightweight swift fabric, even a pocket for your keys. But what I really like is the flowy fit and layered hem. It gives it a little bit of volume, a little bit of fun, so they feel as good on a run as they do just at coffee afterwards.
