Plastic surgery : the trends in 2023

Le 5 janvier 2023

At the beginning of each year, It is a tradition to assess your expectations, whether on the professional or personal level.

In these reflections, you may also evaluate your physical appearance, if you can undergo an aesthetic treatment to improve what you don’t like so that you can look and feel better.

So, here are some of the plastic interventions that are still in vogue in 2023 :

Liposuction

According to data from the Aesthetic Society, liposuction is the most requested cosmetic surgery procedure.

The demand is not only for « traditional » liposuction, but also for Vaser Lipo, a state-of-the-art procedure that allows for more precise fat removal, reducing pain and swelling afterwards and facilitating a speedy recovery, is also expected to increase.

Men surgery

Although the demand for these procedures in the male population is still not very high and not much is said about it, increasingly this sector has a greater awareness and demand for more cosmetic surgery procedures.  Therefore, it is expected that the demand for procedures such as the removal of « love handles » and back fat to provide a leaner, more toned physical appearance through liposuction will become increasingly popular throughout 2023.

Not to mention, other plastic surgery procedures such as male breast reduction remain popular and are becoming increasingly popular.

The perception of age also influences men especially when they work in predominantly younger sectors such as technology. There is not only pressure to keep up, but also to look fresh and healthy.

This means that more and more men are turning to aesthetic medicine treatments such as facial fillers, eye lifts and neck and jowl surgery to compete in an increasingly, aesthetically and competitive environment.

Buccal fat removal

This new aesthetic trend consists of removing fat from the mouth to enhance the bone structure of the face. Its objective is to remove the fat between the cheekbones and the jawbones through incisions inside the mouth.

This minimally invasive procedure is performed on an outpatient basis which may explain its success with young celebrities.

Rhinoplasty

Nose jobs or to use the technical term, rhinoplasty, increased in 2020 which is thought to be due to change in our self-perception of looking more closely at our faces on apps like Zoom. In addition, the trend in demand is expected to continue to grow throughout 2023.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty procedures are also expected to remain the most popular method of rhinoplasty procedures. It is performed using high-frequency vibrations during the intervention to obtain the best results and minimize downtime after it.

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation has been the star procedure in cosmetic surgery for many years and this demand is not only due to the need that some women have to increase the size of their breasts, but often there are a number of other reasons why breast augmentation is requested such as lack of symmetry, breast reconstruction after a mastectomy and of course to change the shape or volume of the breast.

There are many ways to get the breast you want, you can use breast implants or opt for breast lipofilling which consists of removing excess fat from your silhouette to reinject it into your breasts, and it is your surgeon who, after studying your case, will recommend which is the most suitable method for you.
