Tuesday evening live on C8, Cyril Hanouna addressed the subject of “Barbie Botox”, this trend reinforced by the success of the film Barbie which consists of using injections to have the same neck as the doll.

To achieve this, patients are injected with large doses of botulinum toxin in the tzius muscles located at the base of the neck.

I said explicitly that I had been badly influenced. I tried to warn about the consequences of dysmorphophobia. I fell into a trap because of my past that I did not mention on television (years of bullying at school, among others) which led to behaviors that can be perceived as dysfunctional.
