plastic surgery trends 2022

While the prevalence of plastic surgery understandably dipped at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cosmetic surgery industry saw a significant rise in aesthetic surgical procedures in the first six months of 2021.

Aside from the fact that Americans have become more open to the idea of cosmetic surgery, they’re also enjoying a more flexible schedule that allows them to undergo and more easily recover from various surgeries. Top procedures like breast augmentation and rhinoplasty have remained in demand in the previous year, but plastic surgeons are also seeing an increase in interest in other procedures.

The Top Plastic Surgery Trends of 2022

The growth of cosmetic surgery is projected to increase in 2022 and there are three particular trends that experts expect to increase this year: Body contouring procedures, facial rejuvenation procedures, and combination procedures.

Body Contouring Procedures

At the onset of the pandemic, body contouring procedures were put on hold, and interest shifted to facial rejuvenation treatments. Now that the world is continuously being vaccinated, body contouring procedures are making a comeback, with people feeling more confident to return to clinics.

Liposuction has become and continues to be, a staple procedure to treat unwanted fat deposits in problem areas in the body. Routinely the most popular body contouring procedure, liposuction is a top priority treatment for people seeking to achieve their body goals in the new year.

More and more people are taking care of their bodies, rejuvenating their overall appearance, and also paying attention to their health and well-being. Other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, labiaplasty, and the customizable Mommy Makeover are becoming popular requests this year as more people want to address problem areas on their bodies they have struggled with and feel a renewed sense of confidence in themselves and their bodies.

Facial Rejuvenation Procedures

2020 and 2021 recorded an increased demand in facial procedures, as people became more conscious of their faces with the increased screen time due to countless online meetings where all attendees could see a facial blemish or problem area up-close.

For this reason, doctors expect an upward trend in facial rejuvenation procedures this year as well. Rhinoplasty will continue to be important, as the nose is one of the most noticeable areas of the face. Another area that attracts attention online is the chin. That’s why chin augmentation is receiving more and more attention as people realize that it enhances the overall facial profile.

To completely rejuvenate the face, a facelift – which can be combined with other treatments – is also becoming more popular. A facelift in your 50s is now a thing of the past. More and more people who are only in their early 40s are undergoing this procedure to eliminate noticeable sagging in the face and neck.

Combination Procedures

As patients get more discerning about their appearance, the top trend this 2022 is an ultra-personalized program consisting of several but strategic minor procedures tailored to your specific needs. Since cosmetic and aesthetic clinics will continue to be fully booked, combination procedures can reduce the number of times you visit the clinic. This also reduces downtime from staged procedures and can help facilitate a complicated recovery due to school and work schedules.

Granted, the first two weeks after a combination procedure will be a bit more difficult as there will be additional restrictions to your movement to ensure the best results, but thanks to minimally invasive techniques and new technologies, surgeons are able to offer combination procedures with a much more manageable downtime.

TO OUR MARIN AESTHETICS PATIENTS:

In light of the state wide restrictions on non-essential businesses to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are rescheduling all of our elective appointments until the global circumstances improve. Our necessary post-operative appointments will be made, as needed, to address immediate surgical concerns such as suture removal and acute postoperative issues. All non-acute follow up appointments, fillers and Botox will need to be postponed until after the quarantine period mid April. Our office will reach out to all patients who need to be rescheduled.

We will be offering new patient virtual consultations online and via Skype that can be scheduled through our website or by emailing info@marinaesthetics.com. Also, we will offer follow-up appointments in the same manner to help manage our patients’ concerns while still respecting the need for social distancing.

We appreciate all of your understanding during these difficult times for all of us.

Stay safe,

Dr. Main and the Marin Aesthetics Team
