A new UK study has looked at what causes women to undergo cosmetic surgery — specifically those who request injectables such as Botox — and the results point to divorce as a number one driving factor.
Studying UK women seeking facial injectables, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic in London found that while friends and family are still the driving force behind cosmetic changes, the end of a marriage can also trigger a desire for Restylane.
In a survey of 750 women, 13.9 per cent admitted that divorce was their greatest motivation for considering the procedure; and 21.2 per cent of 55 to 64-year-olds citing divorce as a reason to change their appearance.
Further, a high number of women aged from 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 said divorce would drive them to injectable; and only 11.5 per cent of those aged 65 and up would go under the needle following a split.
