I’ve been around classy women with breast implants since I was a child, so the idea of implants never struck me as unusual or attention-seeking. It is simply wasn’t something I thought about. Looking back, I realize that the women I grew up around treated implants as a private, personal choice. They carried themselves with a sense of discretion, confidence, and a sense of elegance, and they didn’t use their bodies for attention, validation, or visibility.
There was no social media showcasing, no attempts to turn their appearance into a brand, and no effort to monetize their bodies. That environment shaped my understanding of what “classy” meant – not because implants themselves define class, but because the women around me modeled a quiet, understated approach to beauty.
Now, seeing how differently women present themselves online, I’m realizing just how far cultural norms have shifted. And frankly, the trend of putting breast implants on display for attention or profit is something I find vulgar, cheap, and completely beneath the standards I was raised with.
It’s not a world I want to be associated with. Turning intimate parts of the body into online currency doesn’t read empowerment to me – it reads as a level of desperation I have no interest in entertaining.
Classy and healing, always.
