'Embracing' something to me signifies welcoming it with open arms. I don't think anyone welcomes becoming old. Ageing is a long process and creeps up on you slowly. One day you think where did all the years go? Twenty years ago seems like last week. I agree with you about too much plastic surgery. There are a lot of ex-actress 70+ yr old women on TV, dressed to the nines, long blonde hair extensions and loads of makeup. They don't look young and glamorous, imo.
Sure thing, make yourself look your best but know when to quit.
