Summary

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rady Rahban about his journey and experiences in the ever-changing world of plastic surgery and beauty. From facelifts to chin enhancements, we dive into the shifting trends in beauty and plastic surgery, including the increasing desire for dramatic results from plastic surgery. Dr. Rahban shares his perspective on popular procedures such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and why he doesn't perform them. The conversation also touches on the profound impact of the pandemic and social media on aesthetics, including the rise in plastic surgery procedures due to the 'Zoom effect' and increased time at home. We explore the psychological impacts of social media and trauma on self-esteem and how it can influence perceptions of beauty and the decision to undergo plastic surgery. Lastly, we navigate the complex landscape of plastic surgery, emphasizing the importance of doing thorough research and checking credentials before choosing a surgeon.

Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.

0:08.1

Now I can ask you anything I want because I didn't want to start anything or say anything. First

0:13.8

of all, how old are you? I'm 49 on my way to 50. You look great. That's because you have bad vision.

0:20.1

I do actually. I started getting really

0:21.8

bad vision six months ago. It was perfect actually until about six months, eight months ago.

0:27.0

I feel like that's what happens around my age, right? Like your mid-40s? My age is younger than me.

0:32.3

Yeah. Notice how I have my glasses over there. I can't see with them and I can't see without them.

0:36.9

So I'm kind of fucked. I'm supposed to have in my things to do is go get eye exam. And I just keep, I take them on, I take them off. I take, I just, I'm somewhere in between too. But don't you need to have perfect vision if you are doing literally plastic surgery? So very lucky is that I'm not shooting bone arrows. I'm operating from a distance. And right now my focal distance is perfect. It's the in-between zone that's starting to fade. So I mean, I have no problem operating. But if you ask me to look up, I can't see very far. And then now if you ask me to read with my glasses, I can't. So yeah, I'm good, but I got to get them checked. Okay, so let me, I have to just say off the bat, like have you ever gotten any plastic surgery yourself? I haven't. And I would if two things were to have been met. One, I'd have something that really bothered me. Like, oh, my nose is big. Yeah, but it doesn't bother me. So I'd have to have

1:28.5

something that really bothers me. And the other and probably bigger than the issue of having something bothers me is I'd have to have someone I really trust do it. And I'm super type A. And there's no way in hell I'd let anyone touch my face. You're so type A. You're probably the most type A person I've ever met in my entire life.

1:43.1

Well, that says a lot.

1:45.2

I don't know if I Well, that says a lot.

1:45.0

I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or be insulted, but... For a doctor, you want to have a doctor that's very type A, wouldn't you? Yeah, definitely a surgeon type A is good. Pilate, surgeons, you know, there are certain professions where you're like, it's fine. Exactly, the pilot pilot and a surgeon like I wouldn't want someone

2:00.9

who's a laissez-faire flying my fly me around sure or operating on me I agree I agree you know

2:06.7

and precision is type A people it's funny because my practice is inundated with type A people so type A

2:13.7

people only seek out type A people to help them with super complicated things.

2:19.7

Type B people are easygoing.

2:21.3

They'll go to whomever.

2:22.4

But like I have like so many engineers.

2:24.9

I can't tell you the number of engineers that I've taken care of, lawyers, nurses that

2:29.8

know about the industry.

2:31.4

We have a lot of those types of people because they've done like, you know, you do your garden variety homework when you do things. These are people that have like, you know, bring out their yellow pad of paper and they're super. Exactly. And meticulous. Yes. Yes. What would you say? I need to just like base. I just want to know these things that we can get into the nitty gritty, but what is the top surgery that you do?

2:51.6

Like, what's the big, the thing that people ask you for the most? Is it still getting their boobs done? Yeah, I mean, when I went into practice, almost 20 years ago, I remember a few guys giving me advice. You always seek advice from the guys that are ahead of you. And I remember them saying, hey, you're, you know, you're moving into Beverly Hills, super competitive area.
