Summary

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.

I am very excited about today's episode. I'm talking to Dr. Terry Dubrow. He is a board-certified

0:32.9

plastic surgeon. I'm sure many of you are familiar with him from the botched series, botched and

0:39.2

botched by nature, maybe even the Swan 20 years ago, which we talk about pretty in depth in

0:45.9

this episode. I think he shares things that he may not have shared anywhere else about what

0:50.1

really happened behind the scenes of that show. He's also the co-host of the Between

0:54.4

Us podcast with his wife, Heather Dubrow. But what I love about this conversation is that it's not a

1:00.2

typical aesthetics, do this, not that kind of conversation. It's really a big picture look at how

1:07.1

aesthetics has evolved over the last few decades and maybe what we've gotten right,

1:12.1

where we kind of went off the rails, and where it's headed next. And that part in particular,

I found to be really, really fascinating, really encouraging. Dr. Dubrow shares that what we look

1:23.8

like now may be what we look like for the foreseeable future because of all

1:29.6

of the advancements in aesthetics and technology coming our way in the next few years. So it's less

1:35.6

trends and more perspective. And we just had such a great time talking to each other. You guys

1:41.7

know I could talk about this stuff all day long. And he was so

1:46.9

energetic and I love his humor and his attitude and perspective. And he has so much experience,

1:52.9

which was just so interesting to hear. He's really just had such a crazy career over the last

1:59.4

few decades in surgery. And he has seen it all. So

2:02.9
