Fuller lips, bright eyes, smooth, flawless skin – in recent years the demand for plastic surgery and anti-wrinkle treatments has increased. As the German Society of Ethical Plastic Surgery (DGÄPC) in their countries 2020-2021 stats Among the most popular treatments in the past year are botulinum therapy, botulinum therapy and anti-wrinkle injections. “What is remarkable about patients’ desires is the focus on the face,” the statistics summary. Upper eyelid lifts, breast augmentation, and liposuction were also popular.
Now the question arises of how one would evaluate such a development: in the name of self-determination, of course, there is nothing wrong with deciding against your own wrinkles and the desire to look young for as long as possible. However, at the same time, social pressure to emulate him and see his wrinkles as a flaw is growing. We’ll show you why it’s worth standing by and loving your wrinkles using the following examples:
4 reasons to love wrinkles
1. You maintain your natural beauty
Basically, one should never forget about cosmetic procedures of any kind: they can lead to a rejuvenating and satisfying result, but they can also go horribly wrong: last year, former model Linda Evangelista reported on Instagram about a failed cosmetic procedure and as a result ‘Brutally mutilated’. In order to protect ourselves from this horror scenario, we prefer to stand by our wrinkles and accept aging.
2. Wrinkles make us more confident
Lack of self-confidence is one of the most common reasons why we choose Botox and Hyaluron against our wrinkles. The pursuit of the perfect and flawless appearance often determines our decision to have surgery. Those who do not have problems with their wrinkles are usually more at peace with themselves and more self-confident about their appearance.
3. Wrinkles tell our story
Life leaves its mark – and our face does not deliver. But instead of demonizing wrinkles as an annoying sign of aging, we should accept them and the fact that our bodies change over time. Try to think of wrinkles as a kind of reminder. The wrinkles around our mouths show that we laughed happily and heartily. And also recognizing the beauty of wrinkles: they make us look mature and give our face something special.
4. Wrinkles make you look seasoned
And there’s another reason we love our wrinkles – they make us look fun, wise, and experienced. You can take advantage of this at work, for example. Your colleagues view you as an experienced and competent person – someone who has a foot in the ground and can serve as a role model for young people.
