Redefining Purpose: Resilience and Reinvention in Media and Medicine

What goes into the decision to get a facelift?

Dr. Stum delves into the considerations and procedures involved in choosing a facelift. She notes that many patients transition from simply pulling their skin in the mirror to committing to surgery. A facelift primarily lifts the skin and muscle from the cheeks to the neck. Additional procedures such as brow lifts, CO2 laser resurfacing, and fat grafting can be combined for enhanced results. Dr. Sturm emphasizes the importance of selecting a surgeon whose aesthetics match your own and having a support system during recovery. 

Understanding these elements can assist in making informed decisions about facelifts and achieving a natural, rejuvenated appearance. For more insights, visit Dr. Angela Sturm's website or follow her on social media.

Key Takeaways

1. Individuals seek facelifts not out of vanity but as a form of self-care. Feeling good about one's appearance can significantly boost self-esteem and overall well-being.

2. A facelift primarily targets the area from the cheeks to the neck, lifting the skin and muscle to enhance facial appearance. It is often misunderstood, so clear communication with a surgeon about expectations is crucial.

3. Facelifts can be complemented with other procedures like CO2 lasers and fat grafting to achieve more comprehensive results. These additional treatments address skin texture, volume loss, and other aging changes.

4. Selecting a surgeon involves considering their aesthetic sense, looking at before-and-after photos, and ensuring clear communication. Additionally, having a support system during recovery is important.

5. Preparing for a facelift involves avoiding certain non-surgical treatments like deep dermal energy treatments (e.g., microneedling with RF) and fillers that can complicate surgery. Opt instead for treatments like botox and lasers that prime the skin without creating deep scar tissue.

ENCORE: Embracing Confidence with a Facelift

A simple nose surgery can have a major impact on overall health and sleep quality.

Dr. Angela Sturm explains that nasal surgery often improves breathing, increases energy, and enhances rest for many patients. More young people are choosing procedures like rhinoplasty to strengthen both their physical and mental well-being. Even a small issue such as a deviated septum can interfere with restful sleep and daily concentration.

Key Takeaways


Nasal surgery (including rhinoplasty and functional procedures) can significantly improve overall health, longevity, sleep quality, energy levels, and general well-being by optimizing breathing. Dr. Angela Sturm emphasizes that many patients seek surgery not just for aesthetics but to feel better physically and mentally.


Challenges such as snoring, sleep apnea, and non-optimal breathing can be related to nasal structure issues (e.g., deviated septum, turbinate enlargement). Surgical correction can lead to more efficient breathing during sleep, reducing tiredness and improving daytime focus and energy, even for those without severe sleep disorders.


The anatomy of the nose—including the septum, nasal valve, and turbinates—plays a key role in airflow. Small changes, like widening the nasal valve or reducing turbinates, can make a big difference in oxygenation and sleep quality by allowing more physiological breathing patterns.


Many patients choose to address functional concerns and cosmetic preferences simultaneously. Procedures like septoplasty and rhinoplasty can be combined for improved breathing and appearance, with minimal downtime and more efficient use of nasal cartilage for shaping the nose.


There's an increasing trend of younger patients seeking surgery for holistic health reasons, not just cosmetic enhancement. People are becoming more educated about how breathing, sleep, and nose function influence their overall quality of life, brain function, physical performance, and even senses like smell and taste.
