Well, I mean, there are just issues with cosmetic procedures in general, whether they need it or they don't. You think about this is a medical procedure. There is always risk for any type of intervention, right? So what gets me is Nordstrom is talking about having injections in their stores. This is some sideshow thing. This is ridiculous. This is a medical procedure. You can get infection.

You can get vascular occlusion that can lead to death of the tissue overlying where you inject. It can lead to blindness. This is like a big deal. Of course, it's fairly safe if you know what you're doing, but not everyone knows what they're doing and knows how to handle the problems, the complications that can come about. So beyond that, you have financial issues.

If someone does baby Botox in their 20s, uh and they want to do it for a long time you think about how much cost that is if you're spending five six hundred dollars every three or four months that's a lot of money especially today and then honestly i i feel like the psychological aspect of it is a big problem right so

At some point, you become dependent almost on these procedures to either feel happy or feel good about yourself. At what point is it kind of be not enough, right? So you're going to do more and more and more. And then you're not going to look like yourself. And it's going to be a point where you look in the mirror and it's not you. One of my colleagues actually coined this term.

It's called perception drift. At some point, you will do these little, little, you know, incremental treatments until the end, you are an entirely different person. You look like a different person. And you might look very abnormal, right? So even if someone comes to me for something that is legitimate, it's still, once you start, it's going to be hard for you to stop.

So if you're barely able to scrimp together enough to pay for that one thing, And you have it done, great. What about all the rest of your life that you're going to want to do something? Are you going to be able to manage it?

Yeah, and this is why it is a smaller and smaller and smaller percentage of what I do in my office. I love cosmetics to an extent, right? So I love to augment, make people love how they look, But when you start using cosmetics as a tool to make them feel better about themselves in a major way and that they need these sort of things to validate themselves, it's a slippery slope.
