Are women who pride themselves on their looks and like knowing that their desirable more likely to do plastic surgery as they grow older?

This question was inspired from a youtube comment regarding an attractive 35 year old women on family feud.

"A lot of women that beautiful are used to constant admiration for their beauty everyday and when they begin to lose that physical beauty, they start to lose their minds and go all in on trying to "fix" themselves with plastic surgery. it's always just a little something needs a touch up, until 20 surgeries have passed. I'm sure your neighbours daughters are very beautiful and I hope they stay away from plastic surgery. The need for elective plastic surgery to me is the same thing as how someone views themselves with an eating disorder. They will neve be okay with just being themselves without working through all of the mental health stuff."

Yes

No

I agree that it's always small touch ups that over time turn into what people see as 'fake' or plastic.

Most women don't (or can't afford to) go under the knife for multiple or drastic procedures.

There are a lot of reasons why one might get plastic surgery. Arguably getting braces to straighten teeth is a very American (and often medically unnecessary) cosmetic procedure for other countries.

No doubt about it. I know a lot of country club soccer mom (s) at 40 already doing eyes and forehead...
