London, 5 December 2005. Recent research1 carried out by facial aesthetics specialist EVOLENCE reveals that 15% of 45-55 year olds feel that their partner could benefit from cosmetic surgery. The figure is more than double that in the immediately younger and older groups investigated. The total figure suggests that over two million adults in the UK feel their partners' looks could be improved.

There is also growing evidence that some may be considering giving their partner an injectable wrinkle filer or other cosmetic procedure as a Christmas present. UK spokesman for EVOLENCE, Matt Clegg stated: "Our research also investigated an individual's willingness to give their partner a procedure as a gift. At least 12% of respondents would provide a cosmetic procedure as a gift, rising to 17% among our 45-54 age group. Surprisingly the 16 to 24 year olds are those most enthusiastic about this kind of gift with 23% saying they would consider it for their partner. It will be interesting to watch trends this Christmas".

The findings suggest there are over 3 million UK adults who would consider giving Botox or collagen injections, breast augmentation or a nose job to their partner.

Anyone considering a cosmetic procedure as a Christmas present should also be aware of a note of caution in the EVOLENCE research: "Our research also revealed that nearly half of those asked would be offended if their partner bought them cosmetic surgery as a gift," stated Matt Clegg. "Perhaps this is one of those gifts that should be discussed first rather than sprung on the partner!"
