According to the experts, across the country, 18 million plastic surgery procedures occur on an annual basis, and this number is steadily on the rise. This boom is also contributed mainly by men, and it is certainly safe to say that plastic surgery is no longer a woman’s thing! Here are some of the most common plastic surgery trends, and we believe that these will stay on top of the charts for the coming year.

Breast augmentation
People prefer to look as natural as possible, and the trend to have silicone implants to make the breasts look full has come down over the last 2-3 years. Besides, the advancements in technology have also brought about a new kind of sculpting process for the breasts, where the fat from one’s own body is used to give a natural look to the breast instead of using a silicone implant. In addition, this procedure also offers far less risk, and the recovery time is shorter.

Labia procedures
Labiaplasty is a procedure where the inner lips of a woman’s vulva (labia minora) are reshaped. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), ever since 2015, women opting for this surgery have seen a steady rise, and just in the year 2016, there has been a 24% increase in the procedures done. Further studies show that this surgery is associated with satisfaction rates during sex, where both the partners report a 90% increase in satisfaction levels. It is for the very same reason, and this procedure is expected to be on top of the list even for the year 2020.

Lip lifts
Fillers are one of the most common procedures done to make the lips look full. However, the lip lift procedure is considered far more nuanced, the space between the nose and the top of the lips is shortened, giving it a more natural look. In addition, the top of the lips is also carved to give a bullhorn like shape to give that “edge” to your face. A lip lift is a permanent procedure, unlike lip fillers, which need intervention from time to time.

Nose sculpture
Nose jobs have existed for ages now that we do consider them as one of the “common plastic surgery procedures.” The year 2019 saw a sudden switch to rhino-sculpture. A regular nose job uses does take some downtime for the patient to get back to their feet, and the tools used are largely chisel and file (to work on the nasal bone). In the case of rhinoplasty, a probe device that emits ultrasonic energy is sent, and it allows the surgeons to gain impeccable access in order to shape your nose accurately. Besides, there is also minimal cartilage damage.

3D Face lifts
This is a procedure where the tissues from inside your face are pulled back into the cheekbones. Why should the tissue be lifted? It is because, as one ages, the facial tissue tends to slip down the face, causing the skin to sag and eventually cause wrinkles. This micro procedure is far less invasive and gives the least scarring to the patients.
