This year, the medical field has managed to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic seamlessly and flawlessly, following local trends and guidelines. Doctors and hospitals have found ways to create safe environments for their patients, ensuring that their scheduled appointments still push through both online and off-line as needed. This includes performing aesthetic and reconstructive procedures under enhanced sanitation protocols, patient flow, PPE use, and pre-op testing.
For this reason, people expect plastic surgery trends to push on, developing in more ways than one. If you’re planning to have your features enhanced this 2021, consider the following trends below:
Trend #1: Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation procedures are nothing new, but this year, they will be more popular than ever. To the uninitiated, the goal of this procedure is to increase the fullness and projection of the breasts, as well as improve the balance and hip contours, thereby enhancing one’s self-image and self-confidence.
The default procedure for breast augmentation are implants, where the surgeon places silicone, saline, or composite breast implants under either the chest muscle or breast tissue. But now, there is a newer trend showing that patients are asking for smaller, more natural-looking implants.
Many women are also scheduling implant removal procedures due to a variety of reasons including wanting a different look as they age or deeming their implants too old.
Trend #2: Liposuction
Just like breast augmentation, liposuction is not a novel procedure. However, the popular cosmetic procedure has gotten more popular since it’s an effective technique for eliminating fat pockets in targeted areas. Popular with both women and men, patients often seek to have liposuction performed in the abdominal area, hips, sides, lower back, thighs, and upper arms.
This year, with many people having gained weight due to being hunkered down at home, it’s likely that more will opt to elect this procedure as well as other skin tightening ones to get back their pre-pandemic body shape. After all, most people are eager to get back out in the world, and they want to look their best while at it.
Trend #3: Facelifts (minimally invasive)
Going under the knife is a constant fear for many wishing to get facelifts, but new technologies have now paved the way for minimally invasive procedures. Patients now have access to better results, which can stand the test of time—even aging.
Facelifts can now lift the deeper structures of the face, thereby allowing the treatment to shift and change accordingly, all the while ensuring that the face remains smooth.
A mini facelift is an alternative option to the traditional facelift. For this procedure, a plastic surgeon uses small incisions around the patient’s hairline to help lift the lower half of the face to address sagging skin.
Beauty Runs Deep—And It’s Always Worth It
Thanks to the ever-changing landscape of medicine, plastic surgery now becomes with procedures that change, deliver, and overall, empower. These are just some of the cosmetic trends this year but expect to have treatments surface throughout the year’s course. Don’t hesitate to learn more and find out what’s best for you. Once you do, choose to pursue your best self—it’s a new year!
