0.824 - 21.432 Amanda Lewellyn

Earlier this year, producer Amanda Llewellyn, RIP, was in Portland, Oregon on vacation. I'm hanging out, feeling really good about myself. And I walk past this store where a guy is offering free skincare samples. And I say, sure, I'll take one. And then he literally grabs me by the hand and pulls me into his store. And suddenly he's putting like this goop under my eyes.

And I'm not a big skincare girly, but I dabble, and I'm telling you that this stuff was magic. Like, I have the beginnings of crow's feet, but I'm looking in the mirror, and they're gone. And he tells me, this stuff costs $1,300, but it is so worth it because you won't need Botox for another three years. How old are you, Amanda? I'm 28 years old.

826.72 - 840.223 Yasmin Tayag

I found that people treated me differently, often in a positive way. I was taken more seriously. I was told I had more gravitas. And if you never look that way, what happens to you?

974.849 - 1003.869 Dr. Michelle Hury

So my name is Michelle Heery. I'm a physician. I do dermatology and dermatopathology, which is looking under the microscope for skin biopsies and whatnot. And so I'm seeing patients, medical patients, cosmetic patients, and occasionally surgery. And I have my own office. So I started my practice at the end of 2015 and really got into the swing of things in 2016.

1004.792 - 1038.078 Dr. Michelle Hury

And I really didn't start seeing that uptick of younger cosmetic patients until the pandemic. Everyone was basically chronically online. They were on Zoom. They were looking at themselves. And there was the rise of TikTok and the filters. And people were really, you know, seeing these flaws, these perceived flaws that either aren't there or are so minimal and just normal anatomy.

1038.759 - 1062.02 Dr. Michelle Hury

And they have changed. really made it front and center where it affects them, it affects their daily life. And I really feel that it has become more of a pathological thing. I did have this patient very recently who was on the younger side. She was mid-20s and really, you know, beautiful girl.
