More Than a Pretty Face: Recent Episodes
Dr. Azadeh Shirazi
Board Certified Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi, or "Dr. Azi," takes listeners more than skin deep by answering patient questions, interviewing experts and taking us behind the scenes of her practice. Learn about injectables, entrepreneurship, skincare secrets, lasting success, relationships, lasers and living in La Jolla with one of the most in-demand derms in So Cal.
Should you get a facelift in your 40s—or can fillers, Botox, and lasers keep you looking younger for years to come? In this episode of More Than a Pretty Face, Dr. Azi sits down with renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Melanie Malone to unpack one of the biggest questions in aesthetics: When is the right time for a facelift?
Together, they discuss how the face changes through every decade of life, why your 40s are often a turning point, and the surprising role hormones play in facial aging. They also dive into the truth about mini facelifts, deep plane facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery, fillers, Sculptra, Radiesse, and whether today's treatments help—or complicate—future surgery.
If you've ever wondered whether you should keep getting injectables, wait for surgery, or do both, this episode is full of honest answers from two experts who help patients make these decisions every day.
