Dr. Sturm wraps up season one of Beauty Unveiled with a brief recap.

Over the past few weeks, you got to meet her colleagues Dr. Terri-Ann Samuels, Dr. Ashley Steinberg, and Dr. Eric Hamill.

You also got to meet Dr. Anthony Brissett and Dr. Regina Rodman, who inspired her journey to becoming one of Houston's top plastic surgeons.

For Dr. Sturm and her colleagues, plastic surgery is more than just altering someone's physical appearance. It's returning them to a sense of their identity.

From breast cancer survivors to survivors of domestic violence, each patient has a story.

It's their job to listen to these stories.

So as the season comes to an end, we want to know what questions you may have.

Is there something specific you want to know about what we do?

Is there something you've seen on social media that makes you skeptical that you'd like to have answered?

Send these questions and more to Dr. Sturm on Instagram and at drangelasturm.com.
