I watched a few of the recent CH4 series '10 Years Younger'. I had assumed it would be a programme about improving one's physical appearance thru healthy diet, excercise, and by wearing clothes that minimised one's physical imperfections, i.e. 'making the best of oneself'.
Although the above were certainly factors, I was disappointed at the emphasis the programme placed on the 'need' for cosmetic surgery, in every case without exception.
It seems that the programme, others like it (such as the CH5 prog mentioned by Deneshae), & the Media in general, are insidiously promoting the idea that the only way to look acceptable these days, is for us all to be wrinkle-free, no matter what our age, and to have features of 'average' appearance.
In view of the fact the Media also likes to promote the idea of celebrating diversity in society ~ in culture, race, religion, language, appearance, & ability, I find it cynical of TV stations to broadcast so many programmes advocating cosmetic surgery.
In a climate where many of the population are now increasingly preoccupied by their own physical 'failings' in appearance, & those of others, where does this leave people who are facially disfigured by accident, illness or birth ? It is not possible in every case to alter appearance with cosmetic surgery.
An enlightened & forward-looking society would be encouraging
everyone to feel included, no matter what their physical appearance. The Media should therefore, in my view, be encouraging acceptance of difference in appearance, not exploiting people's fears of personal inadequacy.

). I mean there are things I don't like like but I don't feel bad enough or concerned enough to subject myself to the torture and expense of surgery (if I had the money in the first place).
