The “Forever 35” Face: Aesthetic Medicine, Aging & Losing Ourselves” w/ Dr. Dany Touma

From filters that turn faces into templates… to procedures that promise “fixes” instead of understanding – this episode opens a conversation about aesthetics, aging, and identity in a culture where women feel pressure to look forever 35. Host Judy Daghestani sits down with Dr. Dany Touma, a US-trained, board-certified dermatologist and laser surgeon, to unpack the rise of esthetic medicine, the psychology behind “tweak-ments,” and why wanting to look good doesn’t have to mean losing yourself in the process. They explore how social media and technology distort our perception of beauty, why so many people regret being “overdone,” and how true expertise can make the difference between aging well and erasing individuality. This isn’t a debate about whether cosmetic work is right or wrong – it’s a conversation about context, safety, and self-connection. If you’ve ever felt torn between embracing aging and keeping up with unrealistic standards, this episode offers nuance instead of judgment. We dive into: – The cultural shift toward cosmetic enhancement – Filters, AI, and why beauty feels more performative – How medical expertise changes safety + results – Identity loss from look-alike trends and over-filled faces – Why some people reverse cosmetic work – What “aging well” actually looks like – Boundaries, pressures, and choosing for yourself At its core, this episode reframes aesthetic medicine as a tool – not a mandate – and invites women to make informed, aligned decisions rather than reactive ones. If this episode resonates, pass it to someone navigating the noise around beauty, aging, and modern aesthetics. 🎧 Listen on Apple, Spotify & YouTube @balancednotboringpodcast 🔁 Share with a parent or woman who needs better answers 🔔 Subscribe to Balanced Not Boring for real conversations about modern life, wellness, and womanhood Timestamps: 00:00 – Trailer / Cold Open 01:04 – Sponsor Message 01:31 – Aging, Esthetics & Identity 02:05 – Why Aging Feels “Forbidden” Today 03:10 – Guest Introduction: Dr. Dany Touma 04:35 – “Looking Good” vs Losing Identity 06:05 – Overdone Faces, Trends & Copy-Paste Beauty 08:20 – Training, Ethics & Who Should Be Injecting 10:40 – Demand vs Expertise in Aesthetic Medicine 13:15 – Celebrity Faces & Two Ways of Aging 15:40 – Filters, Social Media & Distorted Beauty Standards 17:10 – Med Spas vs Medical Expertise 18:47 – Devices, Lasers & the Ferrari Analogy 21:20 – AI, ChatGPT & the Future of Aesthetic Advice 24:05 – Digital Comparison, Isolation & Unreal Standards 26:30 – Celebrity “Inspiration” vs Reality 29:15 – Do Most People Actually Need Surgery? 32:10 – Fillers, Migration & the “Square Face” Effect 35:05 – Skin Boosters & Regenerative Treatments 38:00 – Why the Eyes Age First 41:00 – Upper vs Lower Blepharoplasty Explained 44:30 – Hooded Eyes, Identity & Preservation 48:00 – When Facelifts Go Wrong 51:30 – Collagen Stimulators & Overuse 55:10 – Personalization Over Protocols 59:20 – Confidence vs Perfection 01:03:30 – How to Navigate Aesthetic Medicine Safely 01:06:45 – Final Reflections & Takeaways 01:08:00 – Closing Notes
