Current Cosmetic Surgery Trends Capitalize on New Techniques

Breast Augmentation
This cosmetic surgery procedure is still popular and shows no signs of slowing down. Breast implants are still the rage among not only young women, but middle-aged women as well. Now that silicone implants are again legal in the United States, there might even be more demand for the procedure as they are thought to be more realistic and natural looking than their saline counterparts. While the risks for this procedure are fairly low and the satisfaction is great, it is important to undergo it for yourself and not to keep up with current trends or fads. There is the possibility that larger busts will go out of favor for a more natural appearance in the future. Only choose this surgery if you’re positive it is right for you.



Rhinoplasty
This type of cosmetic surgery was one of the first and still one of the most sought in the plastic surgery world. For hundreds of years people have been undergoing nose jobs in order to straighten, reduce, and streamline awkward noses. Rhinoplasty can change the entire appearance of your face and help make it much more aesthetically pleasing. While it is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery, there is a fairly high rate of revision due to unpredictable healing and the intricacies of the procedure. It can be one of the most difficult to perform and patients generally have high expectations.



Liposuction
New methods of liposuction are creating a surge of interest in the procedure. Technology has transformed it from a risky venture to a highly satisfying and aesthetically pleasing cosmetic surgery. Liposuction helps sculpt areas of the body and remove pockets or lumps of fat. It’s not recommended for weight loss, but rather as a way to help people rid themselves of chronic blubber that is resistant to exercise and diet. The best part of this procedure is that the results tend to be fairly permanent. Once the fat is gone it probably won’t return (unless you resume a steady diet of hamburgers).



Facelift
This procedure has undergone many facelifts itself throughout the years. No longer is this a cosmetic surgery that results in a taut, wind-tunnel face. Now there are different forms to suit different clients, such as mini facelifts, brow lifts, and thread lifts. Each is tailored to target different problem areas and signs of ageing. Recovery times and results have greatly been improved with the implementation of these new surgical techniques. The trend now is for natural, undetectable facelifts that keep you looking younger and more refreshed (yet still like you) for many years to come.
