Ms. Kolstad, a widow who lives in Orange County, Calif., underwent a three-hour breast lift with implants on July 22, coming to a cost of about $8,000. Reasoning why she underwent the procedure, at her age, she said, “your breasts go in one direction and your brain goes in another.”
“Physically, I’m in good health, and I just feel like, why not take advantage of it?” said Ms. Kolstad, who works full-time as a property manager. “My mother lived a long time, and I’m just taking it for granted that that will happen to me. And I want my children to be proud of what I look like,” she said.
Kolstad is one of many septuagenarians, octogenarians and even nonagenarians who are polishing the sheen of their golden years with a little help from the plastic surgeon. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2010 there were 84,685 surgical procedures among patients age 65 and older.

Well, why not? Unlike many young women who just want them bigger, old women actually can be thought to have something to correct. Although I doubt her boobs have anything to do with whether her children are proud of her or not.
