When is the fear of aging too much?

We live in a society of superficiality. Cosmetic Surgery is at a high -- especially non surgical treatments. Those in their 40s and up either go for Botox injections or, if they consider the situation "serious" they'll go under the know for a little nip/tuck. Botox injections, especially, are not considered anything out of the ordinary. In fact, the first "Botox-on-the-go" store is opening later this year in New York City.

But when 20 years olds are asking for these nonsurgical treatments, has the fear of aging gone too far? What possible wrinkles could they have? Even their plastic surgeons argue with them saying they don't need it!

Here are some disturbing statistics: "According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, last year people age 19 to 34 accounted for nearly 20 percent of nonsurgical procedures such as Botox and chemical peels, and 28 percent of women age 18 to 24 said they would seriously consider getting cosmetic surgery now or in the future."

What ever happened to aging gracefully? Look at Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, Andie MacDowell, and Jane Seymour -- to name just a few.

We're sorry… but don't these young'uns have anything better to spend their money on? Perhaps contributing to a presidential campaign? Or a non-profit organization?
