EFR 902: The Biggest Myth About Rhinoplasty, 5-Minute Nose Job and Age vs Ethics in Plastic Surgery

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Cured Nutrition and Caldera Lab. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio , I sit down with renowned Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Chobanian, MD—widely known as the Queen of Rhinoplasty—to uncover the truth behind nose jobs, revision surgery, and the emotional impact of plastic surgery. We explore everything from teen rhinoplasty and ethnic considerations to botched procedures, non-surgical nose jobs, and the crucial connection between aesthetic surgery and mental health. Dr. Chobanian shares what truly makes a great rhinoplasty candidate, why she champions the often-overlooked "closed" technique, and how the nose—more than any other feature—can define identity, confidence, and success.
