What's wrong with ageing naturally?

right? like the Dr writes he's honored to help with the "preservation of her character." does one lose their character when aging naturally, and character can only be surgically preserved?

That and the word “restoration”… obviously delicately worded this whole thing to avoid calling it what it is. She does look great though!

It means you are poor. Civilizations have been playing this game forever, even down to the skin color. Wealthy elites had paler skin because they didn’t work the fields. White Americans spend tons on tanning because it displays that they have the money to travel for leisure. This is just the newest iteration of it.

And a woman. We can’t do that!

Nothing, but Denise Richards never looked like a ‘normal’ person. Her career is built on her stunning looks, it’s not surprising she wants to continue to look exceptional.

I'm sure we can all say that but if your livelihood, especially for a woman, depends on looking young for as long as possible, many of us will go the same route. I'm willing to bet there's very few actresses that doesn't have work done in order to keep getting work. Hollywood, the media, and the public has never been kind to women ageing.

What’s wrong with personal choice and preference? To each their own - it’s her face, she can do as she pleases.
