Pressing police to let his niece out of jail. He says, he was just helping out a relative in trouble. The surprising reaction from the cops. Was his call for freedom an abuse of power . Im on top of the world just plane crazy. Look at this. Yep. Thats two 9yearold girls standing on two planes, flying at 100 miles an hour, right into the record books. And a very good morning to you, america. We do have some news out of egypt this morning. Former egyptian leader, Hosni Mubarak, set to be released this morning. Hes going to be placed under house arrest. Well have the latest as news develops. Also coming up the latest out of that School Shooting in georgia. The dramatic 911 calls that show how brave that bookkeeper was in talking that shooter down. And who knows how many lives may have been saved in the process. Were going to turn to the wildfires all across the west. As we mentioned, our reporter, abcs neal karlinsky, on the front line, just outside Yosemite National park. Good morning to you, neal. Reporter josh, good morning. This fire really has proven unpredictable. Right now, it is burning in degree directions. But fortunately, it is not getting closer to yosemite at this point. From the air, the curtain of smoke nearly blocks out the sun. Ready. Ready. Drop. Reporter on the ground, it is an eerie tunnel of fire and smoke. To get a sense of how hot it is. Look at the burning stumps holding up the guardrails. Within minutes, an example of how quickly things can change along the fire line. It shot up again, the flames did, and crossed the road right behind us. Whoa. A chunk of tree, more than enough to seriously hurt someone, falls near our car. Soon after that, another flareup. And were forced to back out. 16,000 acres are burning along mostly rural land near yosemite, forcing a nervous few to grab what they can and get out. It was frightening. Because its so unpredictable. It looked like lava coming over the tops of the hills. Reporter more than 50 large fires are burning right now in 10 states. But the most active is here, where firefighters warn conditions change with the wind. And fast. The wind is blowing this way. Its going to pick up continually here, shortly. Thats why we cant stay here more than a few minutes. So, its going to be important we get out of here. Reporter right now, this one is 5 contained. And firefighters say theyre confident they can keep it away from more homes, if the weather cooperates today. Lara . Neal, thank you so much. And now, we turn to that School Shooting in georgia. Students returning to class this morning, as we hear for the first time the remarkable 911 call from that brave school bookkeeper, who talked the gunman down. And then, got him to give up. Abcs Steve Osunsami is in decatur this morning with the story. Steve, what Amazing Grace under pressure. Reporter good morning, lara. She is the type of educator you want watching your children. The kids are coming back this morning. 800 students who were forced to evacuate the school. Those 911 tapes will clearly be used as evidence against a young man accused of holding this school hostage. He said to tell them to back off. He dont want the kids. He wants the police. So, back off. And what else, sir . He said he dont care if he die. He dont have nothing to live for. Reporter Georgia Police releasing the call for help from the bookkeeper in the schools front office. Ooh, he just went outside and started shooting. Reporter police say the young man in the background, shooting and giving orders is 20yearold Michael Brandon hill. The woman following them is bookkeeper antoinette tuff. He wants me to go on the intercom and let everybody know that hes sorry. Okay . Everybody, this is still a continuous lockdown. Reporter experienced negotiators said that she acted brilliantly. I can help you. Let me talk to them and lets see if we can work it out so that you dont have to go away with them for a long time. Its going to be all right, sweetheart. I just want you to know that i love you. And im proud of you. Thats a good thing that youre just giving up. Reporter as tuff told george exclusively on gma, she promised the shooter he would be okay if he surrendered. I told him that if he just go ahead and surrendered, since he didnt hurt anyone, that i would stay there with him until they came. And that it was going to be okay. That we were going to get out safely. Reporter when he put the guns down, police came rushing in. Theyre coming. So, just hold on, michael. Go ahead and lay down. Stay on the ground. Get on the ground. Do not move. Ive never been so scared in any day of my life. You did great. You did great. Oh, god. Reporter police say hill was carrying an ak47 he took from a friends home. And say he snapped this photo before leaving for the school. They say he was carrying 500 rounds of ammunition. Was the potential there to have another sandy hook . Absolutely. Reporter these Police Reports show hes been in trouble before. Arrested for threatening to shoot his own brother in the head last december. He was given three years probation. He has a history of poor mental health, according to his family. And he has a Court Appearance scheduled any day now. Lara . All right. Steve osunsami in decatur. That is remarkable to hear. So scared. And yet able to say i love you to get it done. An experienced hostage negotiat negotiator. Amy robach in with the rest of the days news. Good morning, amy. Good morning, lara. Good morning, josh. And we begin with the crisis in egypt. That key u. S. Ally on the brink of civil war. This morning, there are now new fears of violence. Egypts president of 30 years could be heading home, released from prison by the new military regime. Abcs Martha Raddatz is in cairo with the very latest on this developing story. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, amy. Stunning events across the region here this morning. Meaning, there could be even more turmoil. This morning, Hosni Mubarak, egypts former authoritarian ruler, ousted by an uprising, gets a release from prison. While his democraticallyelected successor is still under detention. It was february 2011, when mass protests, the socalled arab spring, eventually forced mubarak to hand over power. Mubarak ended up in prison on corruption and other charges. Now, with the military back in power, where mubarak once served as a general, the court is allowing the 85yearold to return home. Although, under house arrest. That really shows that were going through really, really bad scene right now. This is horrible. Reporter meanwhile, in nearby syria, a possible chemical weapons attack. Heartwrenching images of mothers, children, even infants. The only reasonable explanation in this case, probably some sort of chemical weapon. Reporter the Assad Government denies the use of chemical weapon, saying it is baseless. But the u. S. Says it is deeply concerned. And the u. N. Is sent to investigate. Amy . All right. Martha raddatz with the latest from cairo. Thank you. The embattled mayor of san diego has reached a settlement in the Sexual Harassment lawsuit against him. Its not clear if the deal will lead to bob filners resignation. But he was seen packing boxes into his car outside city hall last night. 18 women have accused the mayor of improper behavior. And a military drill in russia caught quite a few beachgoers by surprise when it went a little offcourse or lets say a lot offcourse. Look at that. No one was injured remarkably when this giant hovercraft charged ashore on to a crowded beach. The paratroopers swooped in and cleared the area. The Russian Military says such landings are routine. And they were surprised people were on the beach. It is august, just saying. And finally, weve been hearing a lot about them lately. But we rarely ever get to see a sinkhole happen, right before our eyes. Watch these trees completely disappear into a sinkhole. This is in a louisiana bayou. This video shot by local officials. And this morning, were told the sinkhole is still active and growing. Right now, there are no homes in danger. But i looked this up. 25 acres in size right now. And its been growing for more than a year. It was a collapsed salt dome. Thats a growing problem. To say the least. Really scary. Thanks, amy. Were going to turn now to the latest on the health scare for Vice President joe bidens son, beau. He is said to be in great shape and expected to be discharged today from a houston cancer hospital, after undergoing a procedure there earlier this week. Doctors dont know yet whats exactly wrong with beau biden. But he was admitted after becoming weak and disoriented last week. Abcs chief medical editor, dr. Richard besser, here with us this morning. And rich, make it clear. You havent seen the records here. You dont know exactly what is wrong. But first, treated for a stroke. And now, at a cancer center. What does it say to you . Initially, when you hear someone has symptoms that are like a stroke and theyve had a stroke in the past, you have to think that whatever was going on before, its happening now. But md anderson cancer center, its one of the best in the world. It makes you think that this has to be related in some way to some type of a cancer. Could certain cancers cause a stroke . Well, if you have anything growing in your head, whether its benign or cancerous, it causes pressure. And that pressure on your brain can cause symptoms that are exactly like what you would see in a stroke. Is age a factor here . It was thought that he was awfully young to have suffered a stroke. When you hear confusion weakness, you have to take it seriously. Stroke can occur. About 70,000 people under 45 will have a stroke every, single year. And they usually delay treatment because they think it only happens in the elderly. But all of the things that cause the symptoms, you need to get them checked out right away. We dont know yet whats going on here. Hopefully its nothing serious. He is set to be discharged. We wish him the best. Rich, thanks a lot. Now we turn to that stunning 911 call from a rising political star. Texas Lieutenant GovernorDavid Dewhurst tries to get a relative out of jail. After she was arrested for what he calls a mistaken charge. Abcs john muller has the story on whether this was a call an abuse of power . This is David Dewhurst. Im the Lieutenant Governor of the state of texas. Reporter David Dewhurst is one of the most powerful people in texas politics. Which might explain why he seemed miffed this month, when the officer on this 911 call didnt seem to know who he was. You dont know me. But i am, every year, the number one pick of all of the Law Enforcement agencies within texas. Reporter dewhurst was calling the Allen County Police, to help get his stepniece out of jail. Saying she had been unfairly detained for shoplifting at a grocery store. Apparently a bag involving 57 worth of groceries wasnt scanned. Reporter during the call, dewhurst was running for reelection, continues to ask how he can keep his relative out of jail. Asking to speak to the sheriff or a local judge. Can you give me the telephone number of the county judge there. What do i need to do in order to not circumvent anything, follow the law. Because this is this is ridiculous. This was a politician calling the local police operation, trying to get a niece released in a way that regular citizens simply could not do. It looks terrible. For texans, for voters, for anyone who watched this. Reporter overnight, Allen County Police said dewhurst, quote, did not ask for anything out of line. His spokesman saying the Lieutenant Governor told police to follow normal protocols and procedures. So, i intend to jump into this and see what can be done to prevent this very nice lady through a miscarriage of justice spend a night in jail. Reporter this morning, dewhursts rivals are pouncing. Saying his attempt to avoid a miscarriage of justice sounds more like a, quote, blatant abuse of power. For good morning america, john muller, abc news, new york. John, thank you. It certainly raises some questions. Were going to turn now to the latest in the case of former new England Patriots tight end aaron hernandez. He will be in court for the second time since he was arrested in june for allegedly killing a friend. And abcs linsey davis here now with the latest on new evidence that could signal even more problems. Reporter good morning to you, josh. Abc news has learned that the former new England Patriots tight end is expected to be formally indicted later today in the june killing of 27yearold semipro Football Player odin lloyd. This, just as investigators look into a possible connection between the 23yearold and another shooting. The hearing set for later today was initially scheduled as a probable cause hearing, where prosecutors would have had to explain to hernandez in open court, key pieces of their case against him, or risk the judge releasing him on bail. But if hernandez is indicted, this afternoon, prosecutors can aggressively argue he should stay in jail, despite defense objections. Its hard to prepare for a trial as a defense attorney with your client in custody. Theres a lot of evidence to go through. Their biggest legal challenge, is, though circumstantial, there is a lot of evidence. Reporter prosecutors say Surveillance Video captures lloyd getting into a car with three men before his death. The footage from hernandezs home later shows the 23yearold football star and two other men without lloyd. In screen grabs released by prosecutors, hernandez appears to be carrying a gun into the house. Meantime, while investigators search for the gun used to kill lloyd, Massachusetts State Police say they recovered a different gun. And are investigating whether it was used in a 2012 driveby shooting in boston that left two people dead. Sources say that case also appears to be connected to hernandez. Experts say, if lloyd had information about that boston shooting last year, which some reports suggest he did, prosecutors would want to know. Two of hernandezs associates also face charges in this case. No word just yet if additional charges will be filed against a female cousin of hernandez and his fiancee, who investigators say have both made overt attempts to hinder this investigation. Thank you for that, linsey. We have an incredible story next about strength and survival. A young girl from arkansas battling a brain infection. The disease extremely rare and almost always fatal. Only two people have ever survived it. But this morning, it looks like she may be the third. Kali hardig hasnt just beaten the odds. This morning, it appears shes rewritten them. Kali looked at me. And she goes, in that sweet little voice, hi, momma. And it was the most beautiful words ive ever heard. I mean, tears just started streaming down my face. Reporter the 12yearold arkansas girl was raced to the hospital last month after contracting a rare meningitis caused by a braineating amoeba. At the time, doctors werent optimistic. Of the more than 100 reported cases since the 1960s, only 2 people have survived. Hardigs mother told gma in july, she changed those numbers. We want everyone to pray for her. To be the number three survivor. So, thats what were hoping for. Kali to be number three. Reporter this morning, it appears she is. She is up to taking a few steps. Shes starting to be able to swallow. Shes been saying a few words. Reporter in a room filled with tokens of love and wellwishes, her mother says hardig is smiling once again. Now, were just asking for prayers on her rehab, that she can come back and be just her healthy self, like she was before this ever happened. Reporter and while doctors say hardig still has more rehab ahead, her mother is optimistic that her miraculous daughter will one day be back at the hospital, helping others. Well be a lot of giving and a lot of returning prayers that weve received. So, weve got big plans for kali. Now, its believed that kali actually got the amoeba while swimming in a lake at a water park in little rock. That park closed in july after kali got sick. But shes come so far in such a small amount of time. Beating the odds. Incredible. I love the smile. Wishing her all the best. Thank you, amy. And ginger zee is in, now, for weather. Whats going on out there . Listen, red flag warnings everywhere out in the west. We have been talking about wildfires all week. Its not going to be something we stop talking about because they have the red flag warnings. Its all due to lightning thats coming onshore. Thunderstorms sound like a good thing. And in some ways they are. But boy, when you have 51 large fires burning in the western states here. Thats up bigtime, from the beginning of the week when we only had 35. The conditions improve slightly when the humidity comes on with the low pressure system thats come onshore. Remember, that comes with gusty winds and lightning when you get thunderstorms. Thats kind of a tale of two things. That High Pressure system moving off to the east. What a difference the side of the country makes. Look at how wet still in the southeast.

And abcs ryan owens has the latest. The phone calls werent phone calls. They were texts because he was picking me up from cheer camp. And he didnt know the address or like where i was. So, i had to tell him the address. And tell him that i was going to be in the gym and not in front of the school, just so he knew where to come get me. In the letters, were from like a year ago when me and my mom werent getting along very well. We would talk about how i could deal with it. And i told him how i felt about it. They werent anything bad. They were just to help me through tough times. Reporter Hannah Anderson has appeared publicly at two fundraisers since her kidnapping. But this is the first time shes spoken out about her ordeal. The 16yearold sat down with dateline nbcs dennis murphy. In the beginning, i was a victim, but now, knowing everyone out there is helping me, i consider myself a survivor instead. My mom raised me to be strong. Reporter this morning, the young survivor is having to deal with what some would consider even more bizarre allegations, from the sister of her kidnapper, james dimaggio. He viewed both of those children as if they were his own. Reporter thats what Laura Dimaggio told us in an exclusive interview when her brother was on the run. Now, shes going a whole lot further. Telling other media outlets, she thinks her dead brother could be hannahs father. He took care of them as if they were his own. Reporter Laura Dimaggio says she may want to test hannahs dna to prove it. She claims her brother may have fathered hannahs 8yearold brother, ethan, who police say he killed along with hannahs mother, before rigging his house to catch fire with their bodies inside. Dimaggio left money to hannahs paternal grandmother. As for my daughter, the healing process will be slow. Reporter Brett Anderson insists hes hannahs real dad. And while he was best friends with the man who kidnapped his daughter, a family spokesperson says that he nor hannahs mom met james dimaggio, until she was six months pregnant with hannah. Also, the spokesperson points out Brett Andersons dna was used to identify the remains of his son, ethan. For good morning america, ryan owens, abc news, los angeles. Now, we turn to the star of the good wife, Julianna Margulies. Shes in a Monster Court battle thats pitting her against her former manager. Its all about commissions. When youre a star of her magnitude, the Percentage Points can add up to millions. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis has the story. Objection, your honor. On what grounds . Reporter taking on the role of a highpowered chicago attorney, for cbs the good wife, relaunched Julianna Margulies career. I suggest you stop asking invasive and irrelevant questions. Reporter making her one of hollywoods top actresses. But now, the managers who say they helped her land it are putting margulies front and center in a reallife courtroom battle. Claiming shes cutting them out of millions of dollars in fees. There are potentially millions of dollars on the line for her. And the potential embarrassment that comes with going to trial. Reporter margulies, who reportedly earns 180,000 per episode, says she fired those managers in april 2011. In court documents, margulies calls her former agent and manager an embarrassment. But the agency disagrees. Telling a judge they worked hard to land margulies her good wife role, and a lucrative endorsement deal with loreal, paris. Now, a judge says the two sides can take their war of words and battle it out in court. Its incredibly rare to have a dispute with a star as big as julianna go to trial. Reporter but the attorney fights that no agreement was necessary. All actors, especially experienced actors, who have been in the business, understand and acknowledge their obligation to pay their managers posttermination commissions. Reporter margulies attorney tells abc news that no specific agreement was ever made to continue paying the managers after their termination. They admit that ms. Margulies never promised them, orally or in writing, to make such payments. Reporter the two sides are scheduled for mediation on monday. Margulies Attorney Says he is optimistic all of this can be settled in mediation. That would be outside of a courtroom. If they cant come to an agreement by next week, margulies faces a court date this january. Extremely rare you see someone at this level face that public of a court date. Life imitating art at the highest level. Hope they work it out. Were going to turn, now, to those two wing walkers weve been showing you. Two 9yearolds. Rose powell and flame brewer, going to Great Lengths to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy, a disease that affects their very close friend. Their recent flight is just one for the record books. Abcs gio benitez has this remarkable story. Reporter its not something you see every day. Two planes, whizzing by, just a few hundred feet above the ground. But take a closer look. What makes this absolutely incredible is that standing atop those planes are two 9yearold girls. Now, the worlds youngest wingwalkers. And this, a flight for the record books. Im getting really excited now. Reporter the stunt was their idea to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy. And the pilot, none other than their grandfather. Theyre in special little seats up there. Theyre well strapped in with a fivepoint harness. I think theyll be fine. Reporter wing walking is not without serious risks, even for seasoned professionals. Just last year, jane whitford, the 44yearold mother of two, died in a fiery crash, performing a routine maneuver at an air show in dayton, ohio. But these brave girls were clearly having the time of their life. It was amazing. It was really cool. It was really cool how you could see all the little houses. Werent you terrified . No. I was a little at the takeoff. But once i was in the air, i just had loads of fun. Reporter for good morning america, gio benitez, abc news, new york. I would have been terrified. Im terrified right now for them. I am, too. I need a seat belt in the plane. Six feet off the ground is plenty for me. Ginger, again, this map it really doesnt matter where we see it. Red, red, red. Red, messy. Thats what were going to have. We want to talk about the hazy, hot and humid conditions. Yesterday, new york city was 90 for the first time in over a month. Today, you have washington, d.

Phil, who is sparking quite a lot of outrage about a tweet about sex and alcohol. The message was in the form of a question. One that a lot of people say he should never have asked. Abcs paula faris has the story. Listen to me talk. Reporter dr. Been tackling tough topics on his selftitled tv program for more than a decade. Thats offensive to me. And thats offensive to my staff. Reporter but this morning, the no nonsense talk show host is finding himself in the hot seat after he sent out this tweet on tuesday. If a girl is drunk, is it okay to have sex with her . Reply yes or no, to drphil. One twitter user lashing back. Tweeting, by law, when alcohol is a factor, no one can consent. Dont know whats happening to y you. Its rape, period. Another tweeted, telling dr. Phil, should you, open to debate. It opened up what dr. Phil is calling the ill advised tweet. And in a statement to abc news, says, this tweet was intended to evoke discussion, lead into a very serious show topic, based upon a recent news story. Hence the teensaccused label. Thats supposed to be part of an upcoming episode when the new season starts september 1st. I dont think anyone should be punished for tweeting out something that relates to a show. This one was done with a little less sensitivity than dr. Phil and his team are known for. And it caused peoples eyebrows to raise. Reporter but carmen rios, a Sexual Assault activist says simply deleting the tweet, is not enough. She launched a change. Org petition against dr. Phils show. I would love if dr. Phil took on the issue of rape and Sexual Assault, from the standpoint of how we can start to solve the ongoing epidemic of assault, rather than focusing on what is or isnt rape. Reporter for good morning america, paula faris, abc news, new york. I think itsjko fair to say it was something of an unfortunate tweet. You have to be careful with social media.

Were going to go outside and save some cash in moments. But were inside with the heat index. Were going to start here with a woman who says a diet Company Stole her personal weight loss photos to sell its products, turning her before and after shots into ads. Shes fighting back. And abcs reena ninan has the story. Reporter ronny nunn went from extra large to medium. Trying everything. I did the grapefruit diet. I did atkins, and lowcarb. Fasting and the cabbage soup diet. Reporter ultimately losing 75 pounds the oldfashioned way, diet and exercise. I started a blog. And i committed to journaling my thoughts and feelings, regardless if i was losing or gaining. Reporter posting a photo of herself on her website every month to document the transformation. She was shocked when her photos were used to promote diet products. In one ad, called jess. This ad claims the weight that took a full year to lose came off in just 30 days. Its scary to think that someone would try to sell something that has no grain of truth. Reporter Internet Security experts say this isnt an isolated case. Even Kate Middletons images were used without her consent to plug diet products. Its not just the princesses of the world or the famous celebrities of the world. Youre going to find that people are doing this to the commonfolk like ourselves. Reporter ronny has had difficulty tracking down the Companies Using her images. A Mailing Address abc news found for one of them, turned out to be a p. O. Box in pompano beach, florida. Ronny has sent cease and desist letters to the email addresses she obtained. Its taken down for 24 hours. Then it pops up somewhere else. Reporter she is asking people to repost her weight loss story. And reminding everyone i just dont think its possible to sell weight loss in a bottle. All of that hard work. Congratulations to her. Right, absolutely. Also on our gma heat index, weve been talking about this all morning long. Would you consider trading in your cup of coffee for a sprayon caffeine . No. No. And why do you have to choose in life . This is interesting. Two young inventors have come up with this aerosol. You spritz it on like perfume. And it has advantages for people on the go. Abcs juju chang has our story. Why do you feel so tired . Reporter judging from these ads, were a nation of people in need of a jolt. Caffeine lovers, pick your favorite pickmeup. What are you drinking . Reporter your morning coffee. Your midday brewster. Its usually in the form of a drink, or maybe a pill. But now, two innovators have a new approach. Sprayible is a revolutionary new way to get your energy. Reporter they are the brains behind the potential product. Sprayon caffeine, absorbed through the skin. In Coffee Energy drinks, you get all of the caffeine at once. And then, it just leaves your system. Reporter according to the makers, each bottle would contain 160 sprays. Each pump equal to a quarter cup of coffee. Thats 40 cups of coffee per bottle. You can carry it in your pocket. Leave one in your car, on your desk. And get the energy you want anytime. This is, in medication, in some sense, that can have more serious consequences. Reporter in the end, it may come down to one thing will people like gene trade in his four cups a day habit for a spritz . I dont think i would need more caffeine. It is a ritual. And the heat of the coffee and the way it tastes. Reporter youre an addict. Arent we all . Reporter yes. But if youve sworn off coffee. If you could get caffeine with a spray, that would be ideal for you. Absolutely. Absolutely. I would give it a shot. A squirt, anyway. Reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. Time to wake up and smell the aerosol. Lets bring in our abcs medical contributor, dr. Jennifer ashton. Caffeine, water and an amino acid derivative. But no regulation from the fda. No approval. Thats one of the concerns. We have to remember, caffeine is a drug. It is the most commonly used drug in the world. So, i dont care how you get it. Whether you snort it, drink it, put it on your skin, breathe it in the air, it can have toxicity. You talk about how much youre using, how big the person is. When you talk about skin delivery, where you put it on on your body will have different rates of absorption. One of our crew guys said. How are you going to add the half and half and the sugar . They havent figured it out. I love the ritual of the coffee. For so many of us, certainly here. The makers of the product claim it is safer than Energy Drinks because theres no calories and a lot less caffeine. And its good for people who get jittery. You can get just as jittery if you put enough of this on, first of all. And the claims about its safety, we cant evaluate that. It hasnt been studied headtohead. And we dont have longterm data. We probably remember of some of the teenagers that died using that muscle rub. Anything that you put on your skin, can be absorbed into your bloodstream. The skin is the largest organ system in the body. Technology is a wonderful thing. I agree that yeah. You could do this. But why . Why . Absolutely. We do like to drink that cup of coffee. Im going to work on inventions to pump through the heat and air conditioning. The aroma. Thank you, dr. Jen. Also on the heat index, working women who say they need Plastic Surgery to compete in a world where youth and beauty are prized. Some women going to extraordinary lengths just to keep their jobs, they say. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis has the story. Reporter bombarded with the images of youth and beauty, many working women feel the pressure to match the freshness of Anne Hathaway in the devil wears prada. With the experience, of a pro. I think that depends on what youre no, no. It wasnt a question. Reporter but those traits dont necessarily go hand in hand. Now, a new generation of women are embracing early middle age. Making those foreheads and overplump lips of the First Wives Club a thing of the past. Those lips, are they wax . Excuse me. Reporter looking a vibrant 40, or at least freezing what youve got. Who is coming into your office . Ive seen a lot of professional women who are in their 40s and 50s, who want to stay competitive in the job force and not be perceived as being too old. Reporter today, patients of new york Plastic Surgeon sharon giese, are opting for injections over surgery. Many are women who say their jobs depend on it. Like patient suzanne armstrong. A 47yearold actress and Real Estate Agent who wants to look the healthiest middle age she can. Its okay if i have wrinkles. I just would like to look healthy. Im trying to portray myself as being young but yet very experienced. Its complicated in the workplace that youre judged by how you look. Versus what youre about able to do. Reporter she has been getting botox since she was 30 to stave off a wrinkled forehead. And her care has paid off. You can see from this photo taken ten years ago, that shes almost stopped the aging process. Middle aged has never looked so good. For good morning america, Rebecca Jarvis, abc news, new york.
