The following is my PERSONAL opinion. I am aware there are certain circumstances in which these sorts of things are necessary be it medical or personal.
Everyone knows my views on plastic surgery and Botox by now. Of course there are always special cases but, for the most part, I think it looks ridiculous. More often than not, it makes a person look like they are trying to stay young (and failing miserably at it). In severe cases, it turns human beings into aliens. Maybe the inventors of all these Botox and Restylane injections actually ARE aliens and this is their way of slowly taking over Earth one sucker at a time. Things that make you go hmmm?

Anyway, here are two examples of ageing. One, gracefully, the other, uhhh, not so much.
Helen Mirren:

| Helen Mirren-A Goddess at 65. |
This woman kicks ass. She is 65 years old (young?) and seriously, she looks better than a lot of women half her age. She clearly embraces growing older and is doing it with style. She dresses age appropriate with an edge and it WORKS (Hello? Evening gown with a leather biker jacket? Rock on sister!). She is one saucy bird and I admire her to pieces! (She's got a wicked sense of humour too which makes her that much more attractive).
Madonna:

Madge turns 53 this year and look at her. What the bloody hell has she done to her face? I am willing to bet if she would have left it alone, she would be in Helen's category. But noooooooooooo. She now looks like a preying mantis. Madonna was a huge inspiration to me growing up. I learned about individual style from her. Sadly, she has none of it left. She is now just one of the Plastics, desperately trying to be 25 forever.

Kids...we ALL get older and we ALL age. Yes, parts of it SUCK but, look at the alternative. Those close to you will always think you are beautiful...no matter what. If you are getting Botoxed and nipped and tucked to please others? Sorry but the joke is on you. If you are doing it to make yourself happy? Well, it makes me sad that so much self-worth is based on appearance. Sign of the times, I guess.
You know you love me,
