In this powerful episode of Born to Know, I speak with world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Cameron Chesnut, MD, FAAD, FACMS, FASDS, MDS—celebrated globally for his  astonishing outcomes from minimally invasive procedures that leave his patients looking natural, rejuvenated, and seemingly untouched. He is renowned for his progressive use of regenerative medicine and postoperative recovery techniques, as well as his dedicated personal preparation for performance readiness. Known for his advanced holistic rejuvenation techniques, Dr. Chesnut merges science, art, and energetic healing to redefine beauty from the inside out.

We dive into the real meaning of beauty—beyond Botox, fillers, and surgical trends. From the long-term effects of facial injections and social media beauty standards to the role of fascia, posture, and hormonal balance in aging, this conversation uncovers how to achieve youthful skin naturally and restore confidence without relying on invasive procedures.

Dr. Chesnut shares his philosophy of conscious cosmetic transformation, how emotional expression impacts relationships, and why many procedures accelerate aging instead of reversing it. You’ll learn how to support graceful aging through anti-aging lifestyle shifts, energetic alignment, and truly informed consent.

Whether you’ve had cosmetic work, are considering it, or want to age with more self-trust and vitality, this episode offers a new blueprint for natural beauty, skin health, and holistic self-renewal.
