Fifty, Flirty, and Thriving: Why Women Over 50 Are More Open to Plastic Surgery
A lot of women feel anxious about aging. Some refuse to talk about or even mention their age, or some women have completely stopped counting after they hit their 30s. Societal pressure especially on women has made the topic of aging a taboo. Hence, some women hide or are ashamed to share the various interventions that they do to avoid “looking like their age”.
But, no matter how much we want to run away from it, unless you’re a vampire, there’s really no way for us to stop aging. Throughout time, aging will affect the way we look. After all, we cannot escape the effects of gravity. It starts with a slight wrinkle on the face, crow’s feet on the corner of your eye, sagging neck skin, and the list goes on. Fortunately, more women are embracing their age and are becoming more open to surgical interventions to improve their overall look.
Financial Freedom
Older women are more lenient with their finances. At this age, some of them are also already accomplished in their respective career and are probably earning a good amount of money. That’s why some women are more lenient towards their finances and are more open to spending money to improve their physical appearance.
Long Term Solutions
Serums and anti-aging creams can only go so far when it comes to improving your look. At some point, you might want to consider a more long-term and permanent solution.
We had the pleasure of interviewing one of our favorite patients, Ms Yolly Dela Cruz who has been a long-time patient of Doc Jun, and she shared with us her motivations behind undergoing plastic surgery. She is not one to hide the surgeries she has done and as a matter of fact, she is proud to flaunt her beautiful body. Yolly is not new to undergoing plastic surgery. She and Doc Jun go way back as he was the one who did her Breast Augmentation surgery a few years back. As a Zi patient, she underwent Liposuction last 2020 to remove and lessen the fat from her abdominal area, and her latest surgery, Blepharoplasty, was done last July 2021. She had opted to undergo Blepharoplasty surgery because of her drooping eyelids. According to a blog article from Toronto Facial Plastic, some of the most popular plastic surgeries done to women over 50s are those that aim to fix sagging skin like Neck Lift, Eye Lift, Face Lift, and Forehead Lift.
Yolly is a big believer in investing in yourself to boost your confidence and self-esteem. According to her, if you can afford it, why not be more open to enhancing your features if it means that you can live more confidently and more truthfully. Yolly is already 56 years old, and while she definitely has #BodyGoals that even a 30 something could be envious of, what keeps her forever youthful is her inspiring wisdom and her unwavering confidence.
“ I always believe that key to your happiness is really progress and growth to enhance yourself and develop into something. Feeling good about myself and looking at my best is my greatest priority. To be able to achieve this I have decided to undergo breast augmentation. Blepharoplasty and Liposuction.”
“Knowing Dr. Jun Caparas, I feel so blessed to have found a surgeon as caring, talented, and professional as him. I thank you for being the best of the best Doc Jun. You have made me feel so much better about my appearance… So thankful for giving me my self-esteem back. I’m truly happy and content with the outcome of my breast implants.”
This isn’t about making women feel more anxious about aging. We do not want women to feel like aging is something that they should be scared of, rather it’s something that you should embrace. After all, age is just a number. What matters most is the experience and knowledge that you gain from your experiences throughout the years. And how you share this knowledge and experience with others.
