TOP 5 popular plastic surgeries
According to various international publications, in 2020-2021, the percentage of plastic surgeries performed decreased compared to previous years. This is due to the closure of borders and flights, as well as a change in the focus of the population due to the pandemic. Want to know what plastic surgery trends have become popular in 2020-2021? Let’s go.
Breast augmentation
Not only breast augmentation, but also other types of mammoplasty have again entered the top list of the most popular plastic surgeries. Breast lift, gynecomastia and breast resizing remain popular among patients. It can be noted that girls have begun to prefer fat augmentation over implants, however, the latter are still in the lead.
Rhinoplasty
A total of 352,555 rhinoplasty procedures were performed in 2020, displacing breast augmentation as the leading procedure. As Allure previously reported, the pandemic has caused a boom in facial plastic surgery, pushing eyelid surgery (352,112) and facelifts (234,374) to the second and third most-performed procedures, with liposuction (211,067) and breast augmentation (193,073) rounding out the top five cosmetic surgery procedures last year.
Eyelid plastic surgery
Blepharoplasty is most popular among patients over 40 years old. This procedure is considered minimally invasive and is often performed under local anesthesia without subsequent hospitalization. Often, this procedure is combined with a facelift to perform several procedures under one anesthesia. Blepharoplasty is divided into:
- Lower eyelid blepharoplasty;
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty;
- Circular blepharoplasty.
Lifting and removing an overhanging eyelid should not be considered exclusively as an aesthetic procedure. Often, ophthalmologists insist on this procedure, since ptosis of the upper eyelid causes mechanical difficulty in vision and headaches.
Facelift
There are several types of facelifts depending on the problem area.
- Deep Facelift / SMAS Facelift
The goal of a deep facelift is to correct sagging skin at the base of the chin and neck by lifting and firming the lax muscles in this part of the face. Deep facelift procedures involve the surgeon penetrating beneath the musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS).
- Mini facelift
This is a surgical facelift technique that uses small, discreet incisions below the hairline to allow your surgeon to skillfully tighten and smooth the skin and remove excess tissue.
- Mid Facelift
As the name suggests, a midfacelift targets the midface, especially the cheeks.
- Lower Facelift
The goal of this procedure is to reshape and reshape the jawline to create a smoother appearance. You may want to consider a facelift if you have:
- presence of coarse folds and deep wrinkles;
- need to restore the natural oval of the face;
- drooping cheeks, formation and overhang of the so-called “jowls” above the lower jaw;
- double chin (often a facelift is combined with liposuction);
- pronounced flabbiness of the skin of the neck;
- drooping eyebrows and upper eyelids;
- “bags” under the eyes.
Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck is often combined with other plastic surgeries, such as:
- mammoplasty;
- liposuction;
- rhinoplasty;
- facelift (subject to agreement with the doctor);
- arm/leg lift;
- blepharoplasty.
Most often, men and women decide to have a tummy tuck after significant weight loss or mothers who no longer plan to become pregnant. Before setting a date for surgery, be sure to consult with your surgeon and make sure that you are at your desired weight. Losing or gaining more than 5 kg. After the procedure, can distort the result.
