439: Botched Beauty: When Anti-Aging Goes Too Far & What to Do Instead with Dr. Terry Dubrow
Well with Arielle LorreShow Notes
Dr. Terry Dubrow is a board-certified plastic surgeon, co-host of Botched, and host of the Between Us podcast with his wife, Heather Dubrow. He joins the show to talk about why modern beauty trends are pushing people too far, and how to age well without losing your face.
We break down Botox, fillers, facelifts, and lasers, why “preventative” treatments are often misunderstood and the biggest mistakes Dr. Dubrow sees patients make in pursuit of youth. We also talk about what really happened behind the scenes of The Swan, how social media has changed beauty standards, why so many faces are starting to look the same, and how to think long-term instead of chasing quick fixes.
This episode is about preservation over perfection, knowing when to do less, and understanding what actually works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to anti-aging.
If you’re navigating injectables, cosmetic procedures, or simply want to look refreshed without overdoing it, this conversation will change how you think about your face.
