The opinion of our expert

"Appearance may seem like a futile, frivolous concern. As a specialist in face surgery, I have seen how many of my patients can suffer from it, whether it is a face mutilated as a result of an accident or simply the imprint of time. In addition, cosmetic surgery has been shown to reduce anxiety, and improve confidence or self-esteem. These psychological parameters have an influence on the secretion of stress hormones, which are known to promote the biological processes involved in aging. Be careful, academic criteria are not enough to define beauty. Studies in experimental psychology have significantly established that the human eye prefers slightly asymmetrical faces. In addition, a smiling and loving face will always be equivalent to many facelifts!'
