Dr. Angela Sturm debuts her podcast Beauty Unveiled by sharing her path from a small Texas town to becoming a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Houston. She describes the lack of medical exposure in her early life and how her curiosity about medicine started as a child. A pivotal moment during her medical training—watching a surgeon reconstruct an ear for a child—cemented her interest in facial plastic surgery. This specialty offered her the chance to restore both form and function, helping people see themselves in a new way after trauma, illness, or aging.
Dr. Sturm emphasizes that the impact of plastic surgery extends far beyond aesthetics. For many patients, procedures like rhinoplasty or reconstructive surgery after trauma can help them reclaim their identity and confidence. She shares stories of patients who have experienced domestic violence or cancer, explaining how surgery can help them move past difficult memories and see themselves positively in the mirror again. This work, she says, is about restoring a sense of self and helping people interact with the world more confidently.
Dr. Sturm’s approach centers on natural results and patient empowerment. Her goal is for patients to look like themselves—refreshed and confident—without obvious signs of surgery. She stresses the importance of choosing a surgeon whose aesthetic matches the patient’s vision and encourages open communication throughout the process.
Beauty Unveiled offers a behind-the-scenes look at the motivations and stories that drive the field of facial plastic surgery. Dr. Sturm’s personal journey and patient-centered philosophy set the stage for honest conversations and practical advice in future episodes.
