There is an increasing number of plastic surgeons and clinics in Farnham. This surge in a number of plastic surgery doctors is due to the increase in the demand for cosmetic surgery.

If you are a plastic surgeon, you may get overwhelmed by work in the extent that you don’t pay attention to what is going on in the world of plastic surgery.

Today I am going to take you through some of the new trends in plastic surgery you should look out for.

Men Driving Trend

It is becoming more and more common for men these days to undergo plastic surgery and other forms of cosmetic procedures. The stigma that men experienced plastic surgery has worn down as days go by. That trend is expected to continue in the future. In 2016, statistics revealed that 13.8% of all cosmetic surgeries were done on men. The most common plastic surgery procedure for men is Botox and the ones that made the top five list include blepharoplasty, gynecomastia, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and hair transplant. The top five list remained unchanged from 2015, and so you can expect their popularity to continue in years to common.

Botox procedure for men increased by 4% from 2015 to 2016 and the procedures in the top five list saw a combined increase of 7%. This shows that men, more than ever are becoming comfortable with plastic surgery. The statistics are expected to rise as they age. What does that mean? Start advertising your plastic surgery services to man more and you could reap dividends.

Labiaplasty

Form statistics in 2016, it was more evident that labiaplasty will continue to be one of the leading cosmetic surgical procedure in terms of popularity. In 2015, for example, the number of procedures worldwide was 95,010. That number increased by an astonishing 45% in 2016. Besides the increase in popularity of labiaplasty, vaginal tightening also saw a surge of 10% from 2015 to 2016.

Upper and Lower Body Lifts

According to the global index, the number of lower body lifts procedures was 72,253 in 2016, more than 29% the number performed in 2015. On the other hand, upper body lifts increased from 22,634 in 2015 to 28,595 in 2016. It is expected that upper and lower body lifts will keep increasing in future.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation makes up 16% of all cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2016. Although it is the most popular form of plastic surgery, there is a slight change in the type of breast augmentation as the number of procedures using saline implants keep decreasing while those using silicone keep surging, becoming the most popular type of breast augmentation. Another form of breast augmentation that has seen an increase in popularity is fat transfer, which grows 22% from 2015 to 2016.

Laser Bra Lift

This form of the procedure involves the use of scalpel-free, laser-assisted breast augmentation, and is expected to surpass traditional breast reductions forms in 2018. When performed well, it functions in the sense of an internal bra without any foreign materials. The effects of this procedure are to create a perky look in the breast. The Laser Bra Lift treats skin with a CO2 laser instead of removing and disposing of excess skin, thus creating an “internal bra” effect.

Rhinoplasty

This type of surgery has been popular for many years, but the Royal engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markel has given rise to an expected trend. Patients now want their nose modeled on Meghan Markel’s, leading to her nose is the most coveted in the world. This trend is common to the population bracket of 19 to 34 years, which make up 65% of all rhinoplasty procedures worldwide.

It is hard to exactly tell the future, of course, but with abundant of data in this age, analyzing them will help us foretell which trends expect to increase in popularity and which ones expect to decrease.
