Plastic surgery has significantly grown in popularity over the last two decades, and although the last couple of years has seen a dip in procedures due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there’s been a recent uptick in plastic surgery operations as case numbers steadily decrease.
As the popularity of plastic surgery has increased, more beauty procedures have become available to consumers who wish to take control of their aesthetics.
As we reach the midway point of 2022, it’s clear that many of the most popular cosmetic surgeries are still in demand, while some other procedures are growing to become established options in plastic surgery offices around the world.
Rhinoplasty
One of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world is a rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a nose job. This kind of surgery serves numerous purposes, as it can reshape the nose for entirely aesthetic purposes or for medical reasons.
On the aesthetic side of things, rhinoplasty can make a nose more proportionate, give it a slimmer profile, correct any damage to its form, and many other things a patient may request.
In regards to its medical purposes, rhinoplasty can help open up the airways and correct certain sinus problems to improve a person’s breathing.
Breast Augmentation
Alongside rhinoplasty, breast augmentation is an exceedingly popular cosmetic procedure that can correct various aesthetic concerns. Whether a woman wishes to increase the volume of her breasts, correct any asymmetry, or reconstruct the form of their breasts following a mastectomy, implants can be an effective solution.
As surgeons have developed their expertise with the procedure and breast implant technology has evolved, breast augmentations can provide natural results that are often indistinguishable from unaltered breasts.
This is why it’s one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, as it’s known for a very high satisfaction rate.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Butt Lifts, otherwise known as BBL surgeries, have become a very desirable procedure for all kinds of people over the last few years.
This procedure involves transferring fat cells from one area of the body by way of liposuction, usually the belly or thighs, and injecting them into the buttocks. While it started out as a trend that many thought would not catch on, BBLs have shown no signs of going away any time soon.
When done correctly, this creates plumper, lifted posterior that can enhance a person’s physical appearance and create a more aesthetically pleasing profile.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks, also called abdominoplasties, are used to remove excess skin and tighten or repair muscles around the abdomen to create a firm, more flattened appearance.
This procedure can be a very popular choice for women who have recently had children and people who have recently lost a lot of weight and are now left with loose, sagging skin.
No matter the circumstances, tummy tucks can create a more desirable appearance that can give people newfound confidence and comfort in their own skin.
Liposuction
As mentioned previously regarding BBL procedures, liposuction is a type of fat-removal that takes fat cells from certain parts of the body.
While it is primarily viewed as cosmetic, there are medical applications to liposuction in cases of lymphedema or lipomas. Liposuction can also be beneficial for people who exercise regularly but can’t seem to lose stubborn fat in parts of the body such as their belly or thighs.
By removing the fat completely, people can finally start to see the results they’ve been looking for from all of their hard work.
Face Lift
Although there are many cosmetic procedures available to help people improve the look of their body, there are also many plastic surgeries that can improve the aesthetics of a person’s face.
The most common plastic surgery performed on the face is a rhytidectomy, or simply a facelift, and the results of the procedure are right in the name.
Facelifts work to treat sagging and wrinkled skin through various techniques, in most cases by simply pulling parts of the skin back to create a tighter, more youthful appearance.
The convenient thing about a facelift is that it can be either a minor adjustment or total rejuvenation based on a person’s wants and needs. So whether you’re trying to get an edge on the aging process or trying to make a more serious correction, a facelift can provide substantial relief.
Eyelid Surgery
One of the more emergent forms of cosmetic surgery, eyelid surgery can provide corrections to a person’s upper or lower eyelids.
The main draw of this surgery is the removal of excess fat or skin around the eyes that creates a drooping appearance, as eyelid surgery can create a much tighter appearance.
This surgery can also create a more “open” look for the eye, giving people a more youthful face overall without making any drastic changes.
The landscape of plastic surgery procedures looks better than ever in 2022. As techniques continue to evolve and more procedures become available, more people will be able to take control of their personal appearance and find greater happiness when they look in the mirror each day.
