Cosmetic Surgery – Why I Believe Women Should Embrace Natural Beauty

Living the opulent life on a tropical island, surrounded by an array of cultures and lifestyles, has opened my eyes to the world of cosmetic surgery like never before. Russian women, with their penchant for enhancements, have made their mark here in Thailand. Meanwhile, I recall my time in Romania, where a similar trend prevailed. In these countries, the competition among women to secure financial stability from a man is fierce. But, I can’t help but wonder, at what cost?

Let’s kick things off with the infamous fish lips phenomenon. What has gone wrong in the world when the beauty industry has women obsessing over the plumpest, oversized lips that nature never intended? It’s perplexing. What makes a woman believe that having lips resembling a pufferfish is not only attractive but also necessary? This pursuit of excessively plump lips has evolved into a fetish rather than an enhancement of one’s beauty. And, lo and behold, the beauty industry is reveling in it.

Fake Boobs

Now, let’s talk about the most prevalent asset you’ll find on the market – fake round bosoms. Thailand seems to be the epicenter for these enhancements, with Russian women leading the charge. But not far behind are French women in their forties, proudly sporting artificial breasts. Does a woman’s confidence truly hinge on the size of her bosom? Well, I once had enviable breasts until motherhood came knocking, and I must say, I do miss my perky assets. My husband, bless his heart, occasionally suggests I consider surgery to regain my former glory. Thankfully, at 52 and going through menopause, I’ve found a confidence that doesn’t depend on my cup size. Aging is, in fact, quite amazing. People often mistake me for being in my forties, and I couldn’t be happier.

So, what’s my secret to aging gracefully? Is it turmeric, ginger, massages, swimming, or perhaps indulging in the occasional cake? Not quite. It all boils down to lifestyle and good ol’ DNA.

I can’t help but notice the youthful obsession my teenage daughters have with their breasts. They seem to think that their brains and success are somehow correlated to their chest size. It’s a notion perpetuated by celebrities like Katie Price from the UK, who has struggled with her own mental health issues due to cosmetic surgery. And then there’s Kelly Osbourne’s mother, who’s spent over a million dollars on plastic surgery throughout her lifetime, ultimately resembling a plastic old rag doll as she’s grown older.

Now Sharon in her own words aged in her seventies, doesn’t care anymore.

Hollywood Horror Show For Women

Take a look at recent photos of Nicole Kidman, a once-natural Aussie beauty who now appears to be aging less than gracefully. Her relentless pursuit of youth has cost her the charm she once possessed. It’s a sad reality in Hollywood, where the marketing machine is all too eager to convince women that eternal youth is the key to success as a female artist. Julia Roberts, on the other hand, is often criticized for not succumbing to the Botox craze. She still is our Pretty Woman.

Yes, the American beauty industry and the Kardashian clan might be having a laugh at our expense, as we shell out thousands to look better, more beautiful, and more alluring. But I say, let them chuckle.

The most significant tragedy I see unfolding among our youth is the embrace of cosmetic surgery. Bella Hadid, for instance, underwent a nose job at the tender age of sixteen and now lives with regrets. What was her mother thinking? Perhaps money spoke louder than motherly wisdom.

Our Teenager Girls Beauty Is Flake

Today’s girls are grappling with depression and insecurity, thanks to TikTok trends and the ever-present pressure to conform to society’s standards of beauty. Our billion-dollar beauty industry seems to find amusement in its struggles. I have two trust me the meltdowns my daughter has as she compares tiny breasts to her sister’s larger boobs is a weekly battle.

My DNA is Italian breasts at super size DD. My husband’s side from Holland is an A cup. I can’t help that one daughter has Dutch breasts and the other Italian. 

Boy, do I get reminded every week?

In conclusion, while the allure of cosmetic surgery may be tempting, I firmly believe that embracing our natural beauty is a far more empowering choice. Let’s redefine the standards of attractiveness and celebrate the wisdom and grace that come with age. After all, confidence is the most beautiful accessory a woman can wear, and it should never go out of style.
