Our new Executive Producer Keeshia Pettit joins Mia and Amelia to speak about a phenomenon labelled "filler blindness", the point where you can't see how much is too much, and the day she finally had to get it all dissolved.
So what's actually behind the shift? Are weight loss medications changing what we think a face should look like? Is it a backlash to the MAGA pillow-face aesthetic? Or is your face, like your hemline, secretly a barometer for the economy?
