Timmerie just went there in this episode of Trending with Timmerie. She takes you into the world of Botox, plastic surgery, and our sometimes-awkward relationship with the mirror… and she does it with reverence and realism.
Wait, Baby Botox is a Thing?!
Yes. Yes, it is. And it's popular with teens and 20-somethings. Baby Botox = smaller doses of Botox to “start early” and prevent wrinkles. It’s now basically a rite of passage for some young adults… which is sad.
What’s Really Behind the Needle?
Timmerie challenges us to ask the why:
-Why are we doing this?
-Why do we feel not enough?
-Why is our value so tied to how we look?
She connects it to something deeper: the rise of body dysmorphia and our cultural obsession with changing what God already made good. Botox and surgeries don’t fix the real issue.
Celebrity Regrets
Tons of stars are now regretting their cosmetic tweaks:
-Cameron Diaz: “I’d rather see my face aging than one that doesn’t belong to me.”
-Kylie Jenner: Started procedures at 19, now says she hopes her daughter doesn’t.
-Ariana Grande: Quit Botox/fillers because it felt like hiding.
The wisdom from these women: Aging gracefully isn’t shameful. It’s authentic.
Even Kids Aren’t Safe from the Pressure
Brace yourself: Someone actually told Timmerie she should teach her little daughter not to be so expressive... because of future wrinkles. If that’s not a sign that our culture needs prayer, what is?
Botox ≠ Harmless
Think Botox is NBD? Think again. Timmerie points out:
