Dr. Sturm Explains Why Skincare and Botox Still Matter After Surgery

For some people, one surgery feels like enough. Others find that a combination of options gets them closer to their goals. 

Today, Dr. Sturm talks about how people:

• Combine surgical and non-surgical treatments for facial aging
• Manage ongoing skin care and use less invasive procedures over time
• Decide what works best for them, year after year

Key Takeaways

1. Achieving the best anti-aging results often involves a combination of both surgical (like facelifts) and non-surgical treatments (such as lasers, skincare routines, and injectables), rather than relying on just one approach for lifelong results.

2. While surgical options like facelifts can provide dramatic, long-lasting improvements and make you look significantly younger, they do not stop the aging process or address all aspects of aging, such as skin texture or quality.

3. Non-surgical procedures like laser treatments and personalized skincare routines are essential for maintaining youthful skin texture and quality, complementing the effects of surgery by addressing issues like fine lines, brown spots, and overall skin health.

4. Certain facial lines (between the brows, forehead, around the eyes) can only be treated effectively with neurotoxin injections like Botox, even after surgical procedures. There are currently no permanent surgical solutions for these expression lines.

5. The choice and frequency of treatments should be individualized. Some people prefer a “one and done” approach, while others opt for regular maintenance, combining smaller treatments like fillers and touch-ups over time to keep their results fresh. The key is ongoing self-care to maintain confidence and a youthful appearance.
