I am thrilled today to connect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Chance, who is double board-certified as a facial plastic surgeon and a reconstructive surgeon. Dr. Chance has dedicated her career to the art and science of esthetic surgery. In our conversation today, we dive into skin aging and reframe the aging process. We explain how we lose 30% of our collagen in the first five years of menopause and an added 2.1% in each following year. We explore the impact of supplements and collagen peptides, looking at the listener concerns, like scar revisions, under-eye wrinkles, neck laxity, and topical skincare, and the benefits of estrogen-specific interventions like neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid biostimulants, and resurfacing lasers. You will love this enlightening conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Chance.
