52 is “best time” to get plastic surgery, says average woman

Most women think the perfect age to get plastic surgery is 52 years, 41 weeks and four days, according to a new survey. One in three women over 40 are so worried about their appearance that they would consider plastic surgery. The poll also found that a fifth of women between 40 and and 60 would happily get a face lift if they had the money.

Almost a third of those quizzed said they would rather look 20 years younger than be a millionaire.  Women aged between 40 and 60 also spent an average of £137.28 a year on anti-ageing creams.  An eye lift was the most popular choice for those who wanted plastic surgery with a quarter choosing this method to smooth out wrinkles while 29 per cent wanted a tummy tuck.

Even those who didn’t want cosmetic surgery wanted a helping hand with 29 per cent saying they needed Botox or chemical peels in the battle against ageing. The survey was conducted by Superdrug who polled 3,000 women between 40 and 60.
