What do you think about cosmetic procedures?

A new documentary series examines the world of botox, facelifts, and procedural efforts to defy the physical effects of ageing.

LAST NIGHT SAW the first episode of a two-part series, Young Forever: The Death of Ageing?, air on RTÉ One.

Hosted by Kathyrn Thomas, the documentary series examines the world of botox, facelifts, and procedural efforts to defy the physical effects of ageing. Thomas visits Miami to meet so-called “biohackers” who consume pills in efforts to retain their youth, and even shows her own trip to her botox practitioner.

Sixty-five-year-old stylist Cathy O’Connor offered a different perspective at the end of the episode, saying, “I’m really happy to have wrinkles. I don’t want to be frozen faced.”

So today we’re asking you: What do you think about cosmetic procedures?
