Cosmetic surgery...
The options

The age women are most likely to have cosmetic surgery is
revealed as 44! But most go under the knife to appear more
attractive not younger!

W

omen wait until early middle age
to address life-long body hang-ups
by going under the knife, according to a
new study.
Image-conscious females are booking
in for cosmetic surgery at 44, with a
tummy tuck named the most desired
procedure.
However, research by The Harley
Medical Group found that these women
want to look more attractive not younger
so opt for subtle enhancements.
A study of 2,000 British women found
that more than a quarter (29 per cent) are
unhappy with their appearance.
According to the research, women
in their 40s no longer want to imitate
twentysomethings, preferring to have

treatments that will make them look ‘like
themselves on a good day’.
While 72 per cent want minor
results that only they will
notice, with just six per
cent considering using
cosmetic procedures
to have an image
overhaul.
The research also
found that there has
also been a shift away
from surgery-loving
celebrities like Katie Price
and Amy Childs influencing
the public’s opinions.
Mr Smith added: ‘Celebrities are under
so much media scrutiny and if they have

undergone a procedure that has been
‘overdone’, this can sometimes leave a
negative perception on the cosmetic
surgery industry as a whole.
‘When administered correctly, a
procedure should not be visible to the
naked eye and should simply leave the
individual looking like them, but on a
good day.’
He concluded it is
‘encouraging’ that women
are keen to make longstanding body changes
and are not ‘driven by
trends’.

Connect the dots

and reconnect your life
H

ave you ever thought about
a face lift but didn’t like the
idea of surgery ? Well Dr Cooney
has a solution. Only available on
the Isle of Wight at Cosmedica
Beauty in Ryde, he now offers the
revolutionary Silhouette Thread
Lift to help tighten and reduce the
appearance of aging in the face.
Silhouette Threads are made of
polylactic acid just like dissolvable
stitches used in surgery. They are
placed under the skin using fine
needles and inserted into areas
of the face best suited to elevate
and support loose facial skin
thereby having a lifting affect and
repositioning soft facial tissue that

has drooped due to the effects of
aging.
No skin cutting. No surgery.
The threads dissolve and
stimulate collagen to tighten the
skin and give a fuller and younger
appearance which can last up to 18
months.
Cosmedica Beauty also offers
other specialised skin anti
aging treatments including
facial injectables and the ever
popular 3D Lipo fat inch reducing
treatment.
