I received a message from one of my followers with the following question:
"I would love to have my breasts tightened because they are much too big, but I am already over 60 years old. What do you think, is it still worth it at my age?"
To be honest: This topic has really touched me. I share my thoughts and personal opinion in this blog article.
I had to read the news twice. Part of me could immediately understand why the lady was struggling with this feeling. I actually had the same thoughts for a tiny moment when I was about to have my breast lift surgery, but as I said, only very briefly. My new way of thinking immediately resisted it. As a woman, you shouldn't think like that - especially if you want to feel comfortable in your own body.
It feels like you're in a conversation with an employee of an electronics store. However, we women don't have an expiration date - even if we are repeatedly led to believe this.
Women shouldn't simply ignore their wishes once they reach a certain age. It would be better to formulate the question as follows: "Do I want to have my breasts tightened and why?"
In my opinion, a good body image has absolutely nothing to do with age, but only with your own well-being and your own ideas. This feeling should make such a decision and push aside any old-fashioned clichés.
It is precisely at a more mature age that you are much more likely to recognize what is good for you thanks to greater life experience. This awareness is a kind of foundation. If this is stable, we can develop wonderfully - without any restrictive boundaries!
In our society, the topic of beauty is often associated with youthfulness, which is a great shame. Beauty knows no age. Fortunately, however, ideas about ideals have changed in recent years. More and more women over the age of 50 are talking openly about their desire for a new breast, be it through a breast lift, a breast reduction or a breast augmentation.
However, this is not about denying the natural ageing process and joining in with a trend, but about recognizing and implementing your own needs and wishes in order to feel good in your own body. Of course, women over 60 also have the right to express and implement their wishes and needs.
Every woman can strive to feel good in her own body, regardless of external factors and ideas.
Thanks to my (no longer youthful) 41 years, I have also been able to rethink and dispose of my outdated ideals when it comes to customer service. I wish that for all of us - no matter what age we are.
To make it clear that we know exactly what is good for us, I would like to end the text with a quote from the writer Marie Ebner-Eschensbach:
„In youth one learns, in old age one understands.“
