I had a random conversation with a friend today about aging and plastic surgery. I thought about it on and off the rest of the day. So, would I do it? I've always believed in aging gracefully, but...
These are a few key points that I kept mulling over.
1. I am an avid runner and have been since the age of 16. I run for many reasons; healthy body, fresh air, good conversation, emotional sanity and to fit into my jeans. I am grateful for every day that I can run and I hope to continue the rest of my life. So it's likely that one day my face is going to look older than the rest of me or at least I will feel younger than my face looks.
2. My husband, who I love DEARLY was blessed with great aging genes. He is often mistaken for someone in their early twenties or sometimes even younger (i.e. Saturday, he took the youth to the temple for baptisms and was asked umpteen times if he was a Melchizedek priesthood holder) . At some point I am probably going to look like his mother. This is not to insult my mother-in-law, a beautiful woman who passed the anti-aging gene to her children. So to clarify, someday I will look old enough to be Dave's mother and possibly at some point like I could be my mother-in-law's mother.
3. I have several friends who have already gone under the knife for breast augmentation or reduction surgery. There is definitely an allure to having everything put back into it's proper place after I'm done having children.
4. I hate having surgery.
So, I guess if money was no issue I would possibly consider a little eye, neck or breast work in the future. Not sure if this is vain or not? I realize that ultimately it doesn't matter what we look like and this is a shallow entry. But, come on ladies I know you've probably thought about it too. Would you do it?!?!
