@Elaine,
Oh yes.. sadly we continue to create ways to “enhance” or camouflage our bodies.

Wow. I didn’t even know that some of those plastic surgery options existed.

@Barbara, I agree with the never say never… and really, only time will tell. And, I think we have what it takes to age gracefully.

I’m with you – I plan to (try to) age gracefully. I’ve wondered about the hand and neck thing, too. Obvious giveaways, it would seem.
I did have varicose vein surgery a few years ago – one of the most painful things I’ve ever gone through. I’m glad I did it, but if they come back, so be it. Never again. And that’s why I won’t have any of the surgeries you mentioned – too much pain and downtime!
But one thing I’ve learned in my life is ‘never say never’ – I never intend to have any cosmetic surgeries, but we’ll see how gracefully I manage the next ten years of sags and droops.

@Walker,
I don’t know if a woman with implants can breast feed. I know that women who have had breast reductions (which seems to run in my family) can breastfeed with difficulty. I’m sure one of our many LaLeche people will answer that question.
