Summary

What questions should you ask a surgeon before committing to a facelift? In this episode, I’m sharing the full, unfiltered story of my facelift, including what went wrong, what saved my recovery, and why I’d still make the same decision again. This wasn’t about chasing youth, but about aligning how I felt on the inside with how I showed up in the world. What you’ll learn: (02:01) How years of acne, scars, and skin treatments shaped my decision to have a facelift. (03:30) Why fillers, Botox, and lasers eventually stopped making sense. (04:44) The myths I believed about facelifts. (06:06) How I chose my surgeon and why trust mattered most. (11:45) What caused the post-surgery hematoma and how it was handled. (14:32) The recovery tools that helped me heal rapidly and get on stage again. (18:28) Why mindset may be the most powerful recovery tool of all. Love the podcast?
