I don't think the comparison between elective plastic
surgery or botox and going to the gym is a fair one.

I think there is a difference between a person who
eats too much all the time, never exercises and
resolves the fat problem via liposuction and a person
who decides that the way to resolve the problem is not
to eat to excess, to eat healthier and to exercise.

also, for me the reason botox falls into the vanity
and more money than sense category is because of what
it is.  Would i prefer not to have the giant worry
line on my forehead that I've had since the 10th
grade?  sure.  Am I willing to inject a paralyzing
poison into my body in order to do so?  No.
