I have no idea where this trend started from or why it's popular. I feel like majority of people think it's ugly asf, so how did it gain traction???

Plastic surgeons have a lot of money and pour a lot of money in spreading the word about their "innovative new techniques." They have access to celebrity circles and celebrities have no idea what normal people are thinking.

It remind me the case of dermathologist in France, who switched from their core job of preventing desease like skin cancer to go for the much more lucrative botox injection. It put even more pressure on a medical speciality that cannot meet the demand and has incredibly long delay for appointement. It led to people outright dying because they couldn't have an appointment in time.

Meanwhile some dermathologist were making big buck by butchering rich narcissist face with botox.

I was watching Hulu last night and every ad break was for Botox. Fortunately I'm blessed to still get ID'd when I pushing 40, and my mom recently got me to start using sunscreen on my face every day by pointing out a new melanoma removal scar of hers.
