That's a nice theory, but completely unrealistic for many women.
Yeah sure beauty is a two way street -- meaning it comes from the inside, but it is the outside that has more "weight" -- but many women these days don't fall for that theory.
I don't see what the big deal is. Furthermore, if a woman decides to have some major work done or have fillers injected every seven months, why should anyone preach to them or rather care? It's not your body.
If a woman feels better about herself by having Botox or Juvederm stuffed into her nasal folds as well as lips more power to her. If a woman feels more confident having the tip of her nose reshaped or by having 400cc implants why should it irritate you? You're not in her shoes.
One can dislike it, but to lecture as well as gossip about a woman who does is simply pointless. Not every single woman on this planet ages gracefully (or was decent looking to begin with.) Those who are, are a rare breed.
Yes, I am pro-plastic surgery and proud of member of that club.
