"  Because women don&amp;#039;t already have enough insignificant bullsh*t to worry about, there&amp;#039;s a new arbitrary anti-aging surgical procedure to obsess over. (Last season? The equally frivolous knee lift.)  It seems that cosmetic hand surgery, which utilizes dermal fillers and laser resurfacing to plump and smooth out aging hands, have increased by 18 percent in the last month alone, according to the Daily Mail. A more long-term fat-transfer procedure is also experiencing a surge in popularity.  I mean, on the one hand (LOL, pun), if you&amp;#039;re concerned with looking young, it makes sense to try to Benjamin Button the sh*t out of your hands. If you&amp;#039;ve seen a recent photo of Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker, you know that Shakira has misled us: it&amp;#039;s actually hands that don&amp;#039;t lie. You can &amp;quot;refresh&amp;quot; your face until you&amp;#039;ve approximated the youthful radiance of a Disney Family star, but your wizened, old hag claws will always give you away as \u2014 God forbid \u2014 a Woman Over The Age of 25. You know \u2014 a woman who has allowed herself to age naturally, has great sex with an older guy who actually lasts more than 5 minutes, and knows who she is in life. The horror! You may as well just end it now.   Personally, I&amp;#039;m all for plastic surgery when it&amp;#039;s a healthy personal decision that&amp;#039;s not based in fear. But getting procedures like this feels like you&amp;#039;re trying to avoid being dragged, kicking and screaming, towards menopause. And hating yourself for aging is so much more draining than being like, &amp;quot;Love Me, Love My Grandma Hands\u2122.&amp;quot;   Follow Anna on Twitter, if you want.
