Your Best Face Forward: Dr. Trevor Born on Beauty, Aging and the Future of Aesthetics

06\. Dr. Trevor Born has spent more than three decades renewing faces but his goal has never been to make someone look like a different person. In this episode, Liza sits down with the cosmetic plastic surgeon she personally trusted with her own face for a candid conversation about beauty, aging and what actually works. Known for his natural aesthetic and pioneering use of facial fat grafting, Dr. Born separates meaningful innovation from industry hype. From facelifts, Botox and fillers to lasers, exosomes and regenerative medicine, he explains why the most sophisticated aesthetic work begins with knowing what to change and what to leave alone. **In this episode:** - Why natural-looking plastic surgery begins with balance, not transformation - How facial fat grafting changed modern approaches to aging and rejuvenation - What “deep-plane facelift” really means and what the marketing leaves out - The truth about Botox, fillers, CO2 lasers, PRP and exosomes - How rapid GLP-1 weight loss can affect facial volume and skin - Why social media, filters and online trends have transformed patient expectations - Where AI, genetics and regenerative medicine could take aesthetics next And, as always, Liza asks the question at the heart of every conversation: **What is the Smartest Big Deal you have ever made?** **ABOUT SMART WOMEN BIG DEALS** Smart Women Big Deals is a podcast hosted by Liza Kaufman, featuring candid conversations about entrepreneurship, leadership, reinvention and the defining decisions behind extraordinary success. **CONNECT WITH SMART WOMEN BIG DEALS** Website: https://smartwomenbigdeals.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smartwomenbigdeals TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smartwomenbigdeals YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@smartwomenbigdeals Media and partnership inquiries: [team@smartwomenbigdeals.com](mailto:team@smartwomenbigdeals.com) New episodes every Wednesday.
