When Botox Becomes Body Dysmorphia: The 30% Rule

Dr. Caroline Leaf and her daughter Dominique go past the beauty debate into what happens in your mind when you consider a cosmetic procedure. It is for anyone who has asked "should I get Botox?", felt judged for it, or worried a friend is going too far. You will learn to tell self-improvement from body dysmorphia, why the injections won't fix your life, and how to decide from self-worth, not comparison.
What you'll learn:
• How to tell healthy self-improvement from body dysmorphia
• The 30% rule: how much thinking about your looks is too much
• Why fillers and injectables can't fix what you are missing
• The six signs a cosmetic habit is tipping into obsession
• Why commenting on a woman's body says more about you
• What preventative Botox in your 20s really trades off
• How to raise it with someone you love without shaming them
