"Insensitive Comments Push Older Mom Towards Plastic Surgery"

A woman is considering cosmetic surgery after being mistaken for her daughter's grandmother, causing her distress. Her family discourages her, calling her vain, but she wonders if it would be selfish if it makes her feel better about herself. Dear Abby suggests that instead of surgery, she should simply tell the truth about her daughter's age. However, if she still feels the need for surgery, she should consult a mental health professional and a qualified surgeon to explore her options.
