Aging 101: Navigating Hype vs Science

Aging is inevitable. Being misled about it isn’t.

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban breaks down the true biology of aging — and why it’s far more complex than just “wrinkles.” Collagen and elastin decline. Fat shifts and disappears. Bone resorbs. Muscle thins. Circulation changes. Then you layer in sun exposure, stress, lifestyle, and genetics. Aging isn’t one event — it’s a cascade happening simultaneously.

Dr. Rahban explains what can realistically slow the process — SPF, medical-grade skincare, retinoids, properly used Botox, disciplined lifestyle choices — and what’s mostly marketing noise. He also dives into filler misuse, overpromised devices, social media illusions, and why “doing more” often makes people look worse, not better. Most importantly, he answers the question everyone eventually asks: When is it actually time to consider surgery?
