Almost 50% of women want to ‘turn back the clock’

A NEW SURVEY HAS FOUND THAT ALMOST 50% OF WOMEN NOW REACH A POINT IN THEIR LIFE WHERE THEY BECOME KEEN TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK WITH THEIR APPEARANCE.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS JUST ONE OF THE REASONS WHY COSMETIC SURGERY HAS BECOME SO POPULAR IN THE UK.

The figure is the result of research conducted by the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery, in which 2,000 people took part. Of the women who were included in the survey, 46% of those revealed that they wanted to ‘turn back the clock’ to their youth – in particular back to the days when they were in their 20s.

The women involved in the research pinpointed the age of 45 as the peak time when they had begun to feel ‘invisible’, as well as lacking in male attention. Meanwhile, men were found to have a similar experience when they reached the slightly more mature age of 47. According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, it’s generally women who are quick to take action though. In fact, 91% of plastic surgery procedures were performed on women in the UK in 2017.

Dr De Silva – the man behind the new survey – explained that while women in their 40s have never looked better because of diet and lifestyle, many still don’t accept their natural appearance and strive for better. He said: “Whether we like it or not, the age of invisibility happens to both sexes throughout their forties and fifties.”

The surgeon added: “For women, we found the peak age was 45. We are all living longer and healthier lives and women have never looked better in their 40s but they do feel under increasing pressure to turn back the ageing process. Men report declining levels of allure two years later at 47, though they seem happier to let nature take its course.”

Time to turn back the clock

You don’t have to hit a certain age before considering plastic surgery. Instead, you can take advantage of a cosmetic procedure before, during or after you reach your 40s. If you want to find out more about your options, be sure to get in touch with Belvedere.
