14 DAY TRIAL // Sarah Burge holds the world record for the biggest number of cosmetic surgeries, having invested so far no less than half a million pounds into looking 20-ish when she’s about to turn 50. Since the saying goes “like mother like daughter,” Mrs. Burge has also introduced her 15-year-old daughter Hannah to Botox, thus making of her the youngest Brit to have the procedure done, the Daily Mail informs.
Mrs. Burge, a mother of three, is also known as the Human or the Real Life Barbie, so it’s perhaps no wonder that one of her daughters is also dreaming of treading in her wrinkle-free steps. However, that she decided to do so at the age of 15, when there is no wrinkle to speak of, and to have her mother give her consent has the potential of again igniting the debate on whether Botox injections should be better regulated in the future, precisely to prevent situations like this one from occurring again.
“A teenage girl has become Britain’s youngest Botox user at the age of just 15 – thanks to injections administered by her own mother. Hannah Burge, now 16, first had Botox injections into her facial muscles at a clinic in Spain last year after her mother Sarah, 49, gave consent. She has since had two more Botox injections administered at home by her mother, known as the Human Barbie, who is a trained aesthetic practitioner. The single mother-of-three holds the world record for the most cosmetic procedures and has spent more than £500,000 to get the perfect face and body,” the Mail writes of the out-of-the-ordinary mother-daughter couple.
When asked by the same publication what prompted her to conclude that she needed Botox, Hannah is as blunt as she’s clearly misguided, saying she wanted the procedure done to “prevent wrinkles” and because all the kids at her school were talking about it. She’s not about to stop getting it done either, having discovered Botox makes her face smoother. Even more, she’s about to get fillers in her lips as well, which her mother will inject herself.
“I wanted to have Botox for two reasons – it prevents wrinkles and everyone at my school was talking about having ‘B.’ I had a couple of lines on my forehead and around my mouth, which I was unhappy about. Appearance is important to me and I don’t want to look haggard and ugly by the time I’m 25. Some of my friends told me that the earlier you start to have B, the fewer wrinkles you’ll have as an adult,” Hannah explains for the publication.
