The Most Famous Facelift on TikTok

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay discuss an American woman in her 50s
who is going viral for her plastic surgery journey. Michelle Wood
is a mom who traveled to Guadalajara to undergo several procedures,
including a facelift and a chin implant. She documented her journey
before and after the procedure, creating intrigue, curiosity, and
surprisingly positive responses online. TikTok reacted similarly
when Kylie Jenner revealed the details of her boob job and broke
the internet within the same week. So what do Wood and Jenner’s
transparency say about the way women are talking about their
bodies, and their surgeries, in 2025? This podcast is produced by
Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim, and Kate Lindsay.
