STUCK IN TIME: A viral social media trend has spectacularly backfired in Sydney’s east, with the ‘2016 throwback challenge’ proving impossible for residents who appear to have been cryogenically preserved for the past decade.
The challenge asks participants to post photos or videos showing how they looked 10 years ago.
“Once preventative Botox became a lifestyle choice rather than a medical decision, ageing just stopped,” says local cosmetic injector Dr. Natasha Frost-Hill.
“These people haven’t aged. They’ve been maintained.”
The challenge has failed so badly in the area that several influencers are now posting photos from 2006 instead.
Early attempts have shown promise, with visible signs of difference including thinner lips, Von Dutch caps, and poorly applied orange fake tan.
