When it comes to breast augmentation, is age really just a number? As it turns out, it just might be. More and more women in their 60s and beyond are seeking breast enhancement surgeries to boost their self-confidence and body image by updating their look, and experts agree that there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with that (<\/span>Today Health<\/span><\/a>). With an aging population of baby boomers, there are plenty of reasons why women in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s might consider getting breast implants.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. 60 Is the New 40<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thanks to modern advancements in medical technology, the average person lives nearly ten years longer than was the case even just 30 years ago (<\/span>National Institute on Aging<\/span><\/a>). As a result, people who are in their 60s today may be better equated to the lifestyle of a 40-year-old person of previous generations. With this increase in longevity, more women are opting for cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation to maintain balanced body proportions.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Greater Focus on Active Lifestyles<\/span><\/h3>\n

As we\u2019re living longer, we\u2019re also placing a larger focus on living active lifestyles and maintaining a healthy, fit appearance. Women in their 60s and beyond who remain active can be excellent candidates for breast enhancement procedures to help them look just as fit and energized as they feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. People Want to Remain Competitive<\/span><\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s competitive job market, many people are no longer retiring at 60. Thus, remaining competitive in the workplace is a growing concern for many people at this age, and studies have shown that one\u2019s image has a direct effect on his or her job performance (<\/span>Forbes Magazine<\/span><\/i><\/a>). In order to stay competitive, then, more and more women in their 60s and 70s are opting for cosmetic procedures to enhance their natural features.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Less Social Stigma<\/span><\/h3>\n

Surveys<\/span><\/a> show that society\u2019s general view of plastic surgery has significantly shifted over the years. The majority of people who participated in these surveys reported that they can appreciate the benefits of investing time and effort to improve oneself in order to enjoy an improved quality of life. With this shift in the way that society views procedures like breast augmentation, more women may now feel comfortable and secure about their decision, no matter their age.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Overall Health Is More Important Than Age<\/span><\/h3>\n

When it really comes down to it, there\u2019s no right or wrong age to get breast implants. The most important factor is a woman\u2019s overall health. A 60 year-old woman who leads an active, healthy lifestyle may be a better candidate for breast augmentation than a 20 year-old woman with a sedentary lifestyle and its associated health concerns. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering plastic surgery at any age, work with a board-certified plastic surgeon to help determine whether or not you\u2019re in good enough physical health for the procedure. This, more so than your age, will be one of the most important determinants of your candidacy for breast implants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t let your age stop you from getting the most out of life and fully enjoying the benefits that <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> can offer. This procedure is becoming increasingly popular among women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who are in good health and who are seeking an updated, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n
