A little parental guidance - maybe not...

Gawd -- what a freakshow. From the London Daily Mail:
'I bought my daughter Botox jabs for her 18th birthday'... says mother who has spent �45,000 on plastic surgery
Most mothers would aspire to pass on something of themselves to a teenage daughter.

But for Margaret King, that didn't mean offering young Jodie advice on the opposite sex or even guiding her on her wardrobe choices.

For her 18th birthday, she bought her Botox injections to get rid of the 'wrinkles' on the teenager's forehead.

Mrs King, who has spent �45,000 on cosmetic surgery procedures for herself, said: 'Jodie's forehead is like mine - she gets pronounced lines when she makes a facial expression. I knew Botox would solve the problem.'

Many surgeons do not recommend using Botox under the age of 30 because the skin has not sufficiently wrinkled and it could lead to an unnecessary loss of facial expression.

But Jodie, who had been worried about her complexion, is now addicted to the jabs and has spent �1,000 on them.

Her mother, a 49-year-old housewife who has had regular Botox injections for 11 years, has no qualms about her daughter inheriting her habit.

In fact, she is planning to buy Jodie a nose job for her 21st and has taken her for a consultation about breast enlargement.
And of course, there is a photo of the happy family:

There should be an ethical rule for Plastic Surgeons to just say no at some point. These people have clearly gone over the edge and have made their faces and bodies an ugly travesty. Posted by DaveH at May 26, 2009 4:24 PM
