More Baby Boomers Getting Breast SurgeryJune 28, 2007 - The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons recently reported that more than 50 percent of those who received breast implants in 2006 were 35 and older. In some cases, older women are opting for breast augmentation after seeing the results of their daughters who have undergone the procedure. Why Do More Moms Want Surgery?Plastic surgeon Allan Patronage explains that there was a 279 percent increase in breast implant operations from 1997 to 2006. Dr. Parungao claims that this increase is due, in part, to the fact that younger women who have implants are serving as an inspiration to their mothers. “Baby Boomers are seeking plastic surgery to look as good as they feel,” explains Dr. Parungao. Like Mother Like DaughterAdriana, 53, a surgeon who at one time didn’t believe in plastic surgery, decided to get the operation after her daughter, Karen, 21, went under the knife. “I was so sick of wearing outfits I could only wear with a padded bra and I didn’t feel totally comfortable,” says Adriana. Both mother and daughter are happy with their outcome and prove that breast augmentation surgery isn’t restrictive to age. “I have full hips and didn’t have the top to match it; now I do,” says Karen. Adriana agrees with her daughter, stating, “All I wanted was to look the way I envisioned myself, and now I think my breasts are in proportion to my body.” (Source: Prweb) Are you considering getting a breast augmentation?
