I guess I am not shallow enough to consider such things worthwhile, nor have I ever wanted a boob job either. I will grow old gracefully:p

personal opinion and I know I'm probably going to get shot down in flames for it but here goes

sometimes I think that we , as women are our own worst enemy. We complain if people won't take us seriously but we consider injecting ourselves with one of the most toxic substances known as a valid response to getting old

I agree. Wrinkles are earned, they should be seen as medals of honour, not something unsightly to be injected away. We live in such incredibly superficial times, where youth and celebrity are worshipped beyond all reason. I really dont get it.

I love my wife, wrinkles and all. Its more than skin deep. Id be really concerned about her state of mind if she wanted to inject her face with botulism for that sake of something so superficial!

You dont have to wait that long. People already die from botched botox. And botched Lypo. Not to mention all those crippled by leaky silicone implants.
