The middle-aged women’s attitudes towards (anti-ageing) cosmetic services in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Cosmetic/aesthetic surgery has increased in popularity, reflecting the increased consumer demand. Modern women feel compelled to meet near-impossible standards of beauty. Most of those who undergo cosmetic/aesthetic surgery are (middle-aged) women. Women are often under pressure to meet near-impossible standards of beauty. This study examined cosmetic/aesthetic surgery attitudes and perceptions among 516 Czech middle-aged women. It assessed the perception and attitudes towards cosmetic/aesthetic procedures of middle-aged Czech women and determined the possible factors influencing their level of acceptance through a quantitative survey. The research findings are based on an online questionnaire survey. Based on our analyses, we revealed that acceptance and attitudes towards cosmetic/aesthetic surgery among women can be influenced by the variables such as marital status, place of living, fear of ageing, the importance of physical appearance, occupational status, and partner&apos;s influence. This study provided a first general look at the situation around cosmetic/aesthetic surgery in the context of the Czech Republic. However, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the acceptance and attitudes towards cosmetic/aesthetic surgery in the Czech Republic, further research should be conducted across the country to assess the attitudes of the wider population (for example, different age groups).
