If I believed for one second that half the celebrity women getting cosmetic surgery did that stuff to their faces and/or bodies because they want to, I'd be all for it.

I know there are plenty of women who genuinely do, and more power to them... but the vast, vast majority seem to just be terrified of aging out of an industry that puts you on the shelf at 23, or looking less than Instagram-filter perfect every last second of the day, or not being as 'hot' as the girl who'll be brought in to replace you when you get one (1) zit or wrinkle or blemish... and that just makes me sad.

This. And there have been older actresses who mention the pressure to look decades younger than their actual age, if they want to stay employed.

exactly: informed consent means "because I want to" is not being forced by everything around you. Abusers, media, self-sabotage, poor life choices, an agent, whatever, if you're ready to listen to them and not actually think for yourself, you're no longer informed and cannot make that choice for yourself.

Yes, exactly. And once they get to, say, Nicole Kidman or Alison Janney's age, it starts to restrict what roles they can take (rich character who would have had plastic surgery yes, regular person no), but if they didn't do it, they probably wouldn't be getting much work at all. UK actors excepted, to some degree.

It's funny you say that, as I just watched the 1963 film Charade and had read that Cary Grant was worried about the age gap between him (59) and Audrey Hepburn (33) as unseemly... and now a 33-year old would probably be seen as "too old" to pair against an actor in his 70s.
