Cosmetic surgery remains a popular option for people seeking to enhance or change their appearance. The popularity of cosmetic procedures is perhaps owed to the number of celebrities celebrating it as a lifestyle as well as ‘selfie culture’, which places increasing importance on looking good for the camera. These are some of the latest cosmetic surgery trends that are on the rise.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, or enlargement, has been one of the most popular treatments for years, particularly in the US and UK. The procedure has become much more affordable in medical tourism hotspots such as Turkey, meaning more women are inclined to consider surgery. Longevita breast enlargement is the UK’s first choice for the procedure, the clinic in Turkey is known for world class health care and low costs. Recently, the breast augmentation trend has moved towards smaller enlargements, to give a more natural appearance. There has also been increase in the number of people choosing to have treatments which even out their breasts.
Brazilian Butt Lifts
A Brazilian butt lift, also known as buttock augmentation, involves using liposuction to transfer an individual’s own excess fat to enhance and increase the size and shape of their bum. The trend has soared in popularity because of a number of popular celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian, flaunting their shapely behinds on social media and reality television. Curvy figures have become increasingly desirable in recent years, leading many women to seek cosmetic surgery to achieve this figure.
Liposuction
This year, more people who are seeking to lose excess fat and achieve a slimmer figure are opting to have cosmetic surgery. Liposuction involves removing an individual’s excess fat from their desired areas, such as the hips, stomach, or bum. There are a number of reasons for the trend becoming more popular; a slim and athletic figure is still portrayed as the most desirable body type in the mass media and many people are opting in to cosmetic surgery to improve their health. Removing excess fat can provide people with the motivation they need to begin exercising or maintaining a healthy lifestyle, helping them to stay slimmer and healthier. This trend has also risen in popularity with men, who are looking to reduce the appearance of a ‘beer belly’ or ‘man boobs’.
Botox Cream
Botox has been a staple of cosmetic surgery practices for many years. It is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, helping people to look younger for longer. The latest trend is Botox cream, which appeals to a much wider range of people as there is no need for surgical treatment. The cream delivers much more subtle results, compared to the traditional injectable treatment.
Ear Pinning
It is no secret that people are more self-conscious about how they look in photographs and selfies in 2017. One of the most unusual recent trends in cosmetic surgery is the rising popularity of ear pinning. This is a non-surgical procedure where a small incision is made to change the shape of the ears to help make them look more symmetrical. The procedure is quick, taking only twenty minutes in some instances, and requires minimal recovery time so it is hardly surprising that it has become so popular.
