TikTok Influencer Madeline Argy Warns Of Disturbing Botox Side Effect That Left Her “Trapped In A Cage”
Botox has side effects that are more dystopian than its marketing would suggest, but hardly anyone talks about them. So when 22-year-old influencer Madeline Argy took to TikTok to confess (against her initial instincts to lie) that the inability to emote with her face was causing her genuine distress, I thought: Wow. Seriously, why doesn’t anyone talk about this?
Ah, Botox. That magical, youth-preserving neurotoxin once gatekept by celebrities has become an abundantly flowing substance, trickling down from Hollywood to suburbia. Where it was once administered discreetly in swanky Sunset Boulevard clinics, now you can pass three injection sites on your way to Target. (And while I support women’s right to choose cosmetic enhancements, I do not support getting injected at the local mall.)
