BOTCHED!
Difficulty: Medium
Group Size: 2-10
Quintessential supermodel, Christie Brinkley, credits her 68 years of flawless beauty and infinite youth to having “an attitude of gratitude” and “sitting quietly at night on the couch petting my dogs.” Um, yeahhhhhhhhhhh. We hear you Christie, but for the rest of us it’s going to take a little bit more than positivity and a belly rub.
In 2020, the global anti-aging market was estimated to be worth about $59 billion dollars and the number of new products and treatments expands yearly. Up until recently, you’ve been content with Dove soap and a little positive attitude (thanks Christie!), but the years are marching on and it is starting to look like they have marched right across your face.
You’ve seen the countless horror stories of botched cosmetic treatments, but you’ve also become a little obsessed with some of the Instagram-worthy success stories -following the before and afters of the local posh medical spa, Bâclé Medical. The surgeon’s results are incredible! When he is finished with them, his patients hardly even look like the same person anymore. It is probably why his clientele is filled with the incredibly rich and famous.
You’ve decided to take the plunge and have scheduled a day full of treatments. You were instructed to let your work and family know you may need a few weeks of alone time for recovery. This was strange to you, because your online research suggested the treatments should have minimal recovery time, but you were so excited you decided it was better to not ask questions. You showed up for your appointment 15 minutes early, blindly signed the pages and pages of consents, and eagerly awaited for the nurse to call your name.
It didn’t take long for you to realize things are not as they seem. Maybe it was the way the surgeon and nurse referred to you as “the product” and looked at you with dollar signs in their eyes. Or maybe it all clicked when they injected you with a paralytic that was quickly starting to freeze more than just your face!
