And I'll tell you that I used to work in a Botox clinic when I was in college.

Well, I was a medical assistant to a doctor who began moonlighting as an injectables doctor.

And so I was exposed to a lot of the people who were coming in to get Botox.

And this was in the...

mid to late 2000s.

And at the time, it was very secretive.

You know, people didn't want others to know that they were getting Botox.

We would have women come in paying in cash because they didn't want their husbands or family members to know that they were paying for Botox.

And I think a lot has changed since then.

to the story, something that came up a lot was the impact of reality TV.

Multiple women I spoke to mentioned

Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives series.

So I don't really watch these shows, but what my friends told me was that on these shows, the women are very open about their Botox use.

I get Botox and I get filler.

I've always done that.

Okay.

And I take care of my skin.

Lots of water.

Okay.

And I lost some weight.
