In a recent British study by Superbug, 3000 woman between the ages of 40 and 65 were polled about plastic surgery. The “perfect age” to have plastic surgery in the study was 52 years, 41 weeks, and four days…I am surprised that they didn’t break it down by minutes and seconds.
One in three women over 40 are so concerned about their appearance that they would consider plastic surgery, according to a new survey.
If money were no object, a fifth of women between 40 and 60 say they would gladly get a face lift to smooth out the signs of aging.
Most surprising to this naive facial plastic surgeon is that almost a third–29%–said they would rather look 20 years younger than be a millionaire. Silly ladies, if they were millionaires then they could afford to have all the procedures they wanted to “look 20”! The survey asked which celebrity women thought was the perfect advertisement for looking great over 60, and the overwhelming choice for women over 40 was Twiggy. Really? Twiggy? Bless the Brits!
The other outstanding bit of information from the survery was that some 15% of women over 50 now admit to still wearing padded bras–five times as many as their mothers at the same age. The trend has been put down to changing social expectations, with 62% of women surveyed believing they are more likely to be judged on their appearance than previous generations.
