Top 5 Trends in Cosmetic Surgery

Discover the top five cosmetic surgery procedures according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) 2022 report. Each year, thousands of people choose to improve their appearance and confidence by opting for these innovative and safe procedures.

These procedures are chosen not only for their aesthetic effects, but also for their ability to improve patients’ quality of life. If you are considering a personal transformation, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and options.

 

1. Liposuction
Liposuction takes the top spot for the second consecutive year. Liposuction sculpts the body by removing excess fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, back, or neck, to improve contour and create a more proportionate appearance. Liposuction removes stubborn, unwanted fat that diet and exercise can’t eliminate.

 

 

2. Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, making it back into the Top 5. This procedure enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants to correct small, uneven, or disproportionate breasts. Breast augmentation has been one of the most popular cosmetic procedures since 2006.

 

 

 

3. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty continues to be a favorite procedure, holding a spot in the Top 5 for a second year. The abdominal area is tightened and reshaped with this surgery to improve waist definition and give a slimmer appearance. A tummy tuck can help transform loose or sagging skin, remove excess fat, and tighten abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck is also called a “tummy tuck” and can be part of a “mommy makeover” treatment that combines a breast lift and abdominoplasty.

 

 

4. Breast lift (mastopexy)
Breast lift is back in the Top 5 for the second time in a row. This procedure repositions the breasts to reduce sagging, low volume, and downward-pointing nipples. It does not change the size of the breasts but can help improve symmetry and create a more balanced appearance. This often includes combination procedures such as a mommy makeover.

 

 

5. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery is back in the Top 5 this year. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids (sometimes both) to reduce sagging or puffiness around the eyes, giving them a refreshed appearance. Blepharoplasty has become very popular due to teleworking since the face is put forward and blepharoplasty helps reduce the effect of fatigue and helps rejuvenate the face.
