More than 18 million patients decided on having cosmetic surgery in 2019. This includes both minimally invasive treatments and plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is still popular among people. The most popular treatments, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, usually focus on the skin’s appearance. This includes body contouring and reducing wrinkles. You might be wondering what some of the more popular procedures are.

 

Breast Augmentation

Many women have chosen to have breast augmentation since 2006. According to the ACPS, in 2018 alone, more than 300,000 women decided to have this type of surgery. This surgery is now safer than ever, thanks to advancements in the field. Patients also do not need to have as much downtime after the procedure.
 

An upcoming trend in breast augmentation surgery is fat transfer. In this procedure, fat is harvested from the thighs, abdomen, and other parts of the body. Then the fat is injected into the breasts, so they look larger. The body will accept the fat more than it would an implant because it does not consider the fat to be a foreign object.

 

Liposuction

In 2018, more than 250,000 liposuction procedures were performed. The treatment is a popular one because it is fast and effective. The surgeon will remove fatty tissues and create a smoother and slimmer appearance. Both men and women choose to have liposuction, and it can be performed on many areas of your body.
 

You will have a short recovery time after this procedure, depending on how well your body did after surgery. Some patients can even have liposuction as a day procedure. However, others will need to stay overnight following surgery.

 

Nose Jobs

Many people are choosing to have nose reshaping with dermal fillers. It is safe and has nearly instant results. Many customers are satisfied after having the procedure. Having a beautiful nose is one reason that patients choose to have this kind of procedure.

 

Hair Transplants

Another trend in cosmetic surgery is hair transplants. This type of surgery has been performed since the 1950s. However, there are no changes to the procedure that make it newer and better than ever before. The surgeon will move the patient’s hair from one part of the body to another.
 

This will take about four to eight hours. It will depend on the type of surgery that is done, as well as the area of the body. A patient might choose to have Follicular Unit Extraction or Follicular Unit Strip Surgery. Patients will usually be back to work in about two to five days.

 

Body Contouring

Tummy tucks and liposuction can give you a slimmer figure. However, body contouring is a minimally invasive technique that can do this for you. You have many options available to you when it comes to getting the body that you want. Some of these surgeries will target parts of your body that need to be toned. This can involve removing the excess fat.
