Each year, thousands of patients have various types of cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures carried out for many different reasons. While some of the surgical options have remained steadfastly popular through the years, others have enjoyed brief periods of reaching the top of popularity ratings. Mentioned below are just a few examples of plastic surgery trends that have been fast gaining popularity among male and female patients all over the world.

Minimally Invasive Treatment Options

More and more plastic surgery patients are looking for ways in which to improve their appearances without having to worry about potential scarring or long recovery periods afterwards. Examples of these procedures include dermal fillers, Botox treatments, laser hair removal, dermabrasion treatments and other forms of laser skin treatments. In 2013, statistics collected by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) revealed that there was up to a 10% increase in the amount of these procedures being performed. It is expected that this trend will continue upward as more patients discover that cosmetic surgery need not always involve long procedures and a lot of pain.

Men Opting for Cosmetic Surgery

One of the most popular plastic surgery trends of late is that of men who are opting to have various procedures performed. Although this was previously considered as a taboo topic, more and more men are realizing how important it is to take care of their overall appearances – even if this does mean that plastic surgery may be required to do so. Among popular trends for men are currently Botox and other dermal fillers, face lift procedures, neck lifts and even hair transplants in some cases. Studies have shown that men who take care of their appearances stand a far higher chance of landing job promotions or even improving their chances at relationships than those who don’t.

Natural-looking End Results

A decade or so ago, it was the norm for women to have the largest possible breast implants and lips that had been pumped up to more than double their size with Botox, while men had facelift procedures that saw even the smallest trace of a fine line being completely erased. However, these plastic surgery trends have certainly changed for the better in that most patients are preferring to have procedures performed that not only make them look younger, but that have been done in such a way as to look as natural as possible as well. In many cases these days, it is almost impossible for anyone else but the patient to tell that he or she has even had any form of plastic surgery performed.

Although the above mentioned trends will most likely see a few changes from time to time, one thing is for certain – more and more plastic surgery patients are beginning to realize just how much they can benefit from having various cosmetic procedures performed to enhance their overall appearances, while still being able to enjoy a natural-looking appearance afterwards.
