What Are the Top Body Enhancement Trends?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeon’s 2018 report, breast augmentation and liposuction were the top two plastic surgery procedures last year.
In fact, there were 313,735  breast augmentations and 258,558 liposuction procedures performed in the U.S. 2018.
These numbers are up four percent and five percent, respectively from 2017.
Other body enhancement trends on the rise include buttock augmentation and thigh lifts.

Why Does Liposuction Continue to be the Gold Standard?

With the increasing availability of non-invasive body contouring treatments, liposuction continues to reign supreme.
Not only does it offer considerable versatility, efficacy, and efficiency, it also produces consistent and predictable outcomes.
For these reasons, women and men seeking to eliminate unwanted fat and reshape their bodies turn to liposuction as a safe and reliable treatment option.

Combining Surgical and Non-invasive Body Enhancement

Looking at body enhancement trends, it’s important to note the surgical and non-surgical modalities are frequently combined to achieve desired effects.
This often means pairing liposuction with non-invasive skin tightening or butt augmentation with injectables.
With that being said, a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Navin Singh, is able to carefully assess each patient’s concerns, anatomy, and goals and advise the best course of treatment.
These customized recommendations may include surgical, minimally invasive, non-surgical, or injectable options.
