Is there a peak beauty age? According to a new study from Allure magazine, there is! I found this study quite interesting since I, as well as some of the other staff at Chow Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, am definitely about to hit the so called “peak beauty age.” The average age that people think women are the most beautiful is around 31. However, men think women peak earlier at the age of 29.

Personally, I believe this might all be true, since I definitely feel that I look better now than I did in my early twenties! When you get older, you become more confident and more secure with your sense of self, both inside and out, and that always shines through!

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all downhill after 31. If you take proper care of yourself, you can definitely age gracefully long past your thirties. What do you think is the age that women peak at? What about men? Share your thoughts below!

Featured Procedures

Facelift

Most commonly referred to as the facelift, a rhytidectomy restores sagging areas of the lower face and neck to their far more youthful positions. This in turn leads to a more energetic, happy, and engaged appearance. Learn More

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that alters the outward appearance of the nose without sacrificing its function. When performed by a skilled surgeon, it reshapes the contours of the nose in a manner which brings harmony to the other facial features. Learn More

Brow lift

Brow lift is designed to reposition the forehead and eyebrows into their original position. With advancements made over the years, the most common technique that Dr. Chow employs is the endoscopic forehead lift, which is performed with the use of telescopic cameras and minimally invasive techniques through much smaller incisions. This shortens recovery time and avoids hair loss as a result of the surgery. Learn More

Blepharoplasty

Whether you need an eyelid lift (upper blepharoplasty), removal of bags and excess skin under the eyes (lower blepharoplasty), or are interested in double-lid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty, or Asian eyelid surgery), scheduling an appointment with Dr. Jen Chow at the Chow Center for Facial Plastic Surgery will allow you to explore your options in a comfortable and confidential environment.
