Botox looks dreadful anyway
I am surprised by that remark but you wouldn't know by looking at me
The Apprentice - Series 9 Page 17
Some botox probably looks okay, but we're only ever aware of bad botox. The problem is that it's a slippery slope and people don't know when to stop.

Sorry to sound like a socialist but society can't be left to find it's own level.
Plastic surgery developed as a restorative treatment to individuals who had been maimed in war - as I'm sure you're aware. The idea that it can 'improve' your appearance rather than just make you look as normal as possible is a recent one and one that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
You only had to see Leah on the 'Hired' programme to realise that she has no idea what looks good: Scarlet lipstick, orange, pink and white dress, platinum blonde hair, blue nail polish.
We shouldn't be giving insecure young women more opportunities to f**k-up their looks, we should be giving them ammunition to change the conversation so that they don't feel they unable to exist in our sad, hollow world as they currently look.
A start would be drawing attention to how f**ked-up and fake people like Leah look and are.

I agree with every single sentence of your post apart from this one.
I agree that Leah, an extremely attractive woman, is rendered less attractive by the stupid lip fillers and botox.
I agree that our society is image obsessed, that young women (and increasingly young men) are learning that their only value lies in their appearance.
I agree that it is sad that young people would rather spend their money on a vajazzle than a degree.
BUT
I am a libertarian. And I am desperately uncomfortable with the idea of the state regulating where and how and on what we spend our money. We change through education, not regulation.

The option is between the state or business regulating. The former is at least nominally the representative of the people as a collective whereas the latter is without question the representative of individual self-interest.
I don't think it was a business idea Sugar was comfortable with, he looked very unsure about it all along, but maybe sees it as a chance to get a little foot in the door of the private medical sector that may soon be big bucks here.
The Sun on Sunday will probably rubbing their hands in anticipation of their headline:
SUGAR CLINIC DISFIGURED ME FOR LIFE
