Caroline Stanbury on Her Facelift, Peptides & Staying Young

Caroline Stanbury has never been shy about beauty. She started Botox at 26, long before most people had even heard of it. In this episode of I Dare to Care, Caroline Fleming sits down with her longtime friend Caroline Stanbury for an honest conversation about everything she's done to look and feel her best. She opens up about her deep plane facelift: why she decided in minutes, how she chose her surgeon, the four and a half hours on the table, and the recovery nobody prepares you for. That means the swelling, the drains, sleeping sitting up, and the moment she looked in the mirror and wondered what she'd done. Two years later, she wouldn't change a thing. She shares how she maintains her results today, from Botox and lasers to injectables, peptides and hormone replacement, and why patience and trusting the process are everything. They also talk about life after reality TV, her marriage to Sergio, and building a life on her own terms. An open, funny and unfiltered episode for anyone curious about what it really takes to age on your own terms. 📍 Caolin Clinic: https://caolin.com 📸 Follow Caroline:   / carolinefleming   🎧 Listen to I Dare to Care on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube 00:00 Regrets from reality TV 01:40 Ladies of London and family reactions 05:10 Life with Sergio 10:38 Botox at 26 and her approach to beauty 12:13 Deciding on a facelift 13:46 The deep plane facelift explained 14:29 Waking up and the first weeks 16:31 The hardest part of recovery 17:45 Results two years later 19:56 Botox and lasers for maintenance 20:40 Salmon DNA injections 21:20 Peptides 22:46 Hormone replacement and menopause 25:03 Weight management and diet 26:37 Venice with Sergio 30:16 Chanel and luxury shopping 35:08 Travel and the pyramids 37:20 Friendships after reality TV 40:19 Her women's retreats 42:33 The biggest misunderstanding about her 43:25 Outro
