Abstract :Objective: With ageing, physical attractiveness decreases, and weight gain and wrinkles increase, which leads to an increase in the tendency towards plastic surgery. However, the level of religious attitude can influence this tendency. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the religious commitment level of women over 40 years on their perspectives on cosmetic surgery. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 452 women aged 40-65 who visited a hospital\'s outpatient clinic in Türkiye.. Results: It was determined that 61.5% of the women who participated in the study had a high religious commitment. The women with high levels of religious commitment were found to have a lower desire for cosmetic surgery (p<0.001). Conclusion: The cosmetic surgery perspective was found to be adversely affected by the frequency of devotion and worship practices.Keywords : dini bağlılık, hemşire, kozmetik cerrahi
