For or Against Preventive Cosmetic Surgery?

Dr. Yaël Berdah was interviewed by Le Journal de Mon Corps on the topic of preventive cosmetic surgery.

As soon as the first visible signs of aging appear—whether slight imperfections or early facial changes—there’s no reason to wait. According to Dr. Berdah, cosmetic surgery can address these early changes and help maintain a youthful appearance over time.

Why consider preventive cosmetic surgery?

There are several compelling benefits to early intervention with cosmetic procedures:

• More natural-looking results: Acting early allows for subtle enhancements that preserve facial harmony.
• Less scarring: Preventive treatments are often less invasive, meaning shorter recovery and fewer visible marks.

Among the most common preventive cosmetic procedures:

• Botulinum toxin injections (Botox): These can both treat and prevent the formation of wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and on the neck.

Lower eyelid treatments: Addressing under-eye bags early helps prevent them from worsening and strengthens the delicate skin in this area.
