Plastic surgery has continued to increase in popularity, giving rise to trends that show which procedures correct the most common issues and provide the best results. Today, most body concerns, including smaller breasts, excess fat in your midsection, and a flat butt, can all be addressed with plastic surgery. Follow along as we take you through the top five procedures in plastic surgery and why they‚Äôre so popular. 

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)

The Brazilian Butt Lift gained a huge following about ten years ago when doctors first began offering the procedure. However, the BBL has maintained its spot on this list because of the trendy, often dramatic results it provides. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have made having a ‚Äúbig booty‚Äù a big part of their brand, leading to more and more women seeking a curvy, hourglass shape. 

The BBL stands out because it is really a two-in-one procedure. The surgery not only adds volume to the buttocks, but also improves the waist to hips ratio and gets rid of fat on your stomach, back, and flanks. Removing and redistributing the excess fat ensures a more feminine look and naturally curvy physique. As body diversity and fuller body shapes have recently been more encouraged, the BBL has resurfaced as a highly effective way to enhance your backside and improve your profile.

Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy and childbirth are an incredible experience for a woman to go through. There’s no denying that the changes associated with motherhood are just as rewarding as they are challenging. However, childbirth can have a significant impact on the body and may lead to issues with self-esteem and poor body image in some women. The Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive, full-body treatment that can help you achieve your pre-pregnancy look.

One of the biggest reasons why the Mommy Makeover is so popular is because it’s customizable. Using a combination of several different procedures, your surgeon can treat various issues all at the same time. Depending on your specific concerns, a Mommy Makeover can restore your breast volume, tighten skin and muscle on the stomach, and create a more flattering physique. The result is a complete body transformation that can help you regain confidence and feel like a woman again. A typical Mommy Makeover includes two or more of the following procedures:

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Lift
• Breast Reduction
• Tummy Tuck
• Liposuction

Don’t worry if you aren’t sure which procedures are right for you. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will assess your concerns and recommend a specific combination of treatments to achieve your desired results.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentations have evolved over time, consistently topping lists of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Techniques have improved to include new methods and types of implants. So, your surgeon can create the best treatment plan for you. Although some women still prefer to go larger, trends are shifting towards a more natural look, with a ‚Äúperfectly lifted‚Äù shape. Today, the most popular size implants are 350 to 400cc, comparable to a full C cup. 

Maintaining high patient satisfaction rates are an excellent way to tell which procedures are the most helpful and convenient. Breast augmentation surgery has remained popular for several reasons, including fast and easy recovery time and a long history of high patient satisfaction. Results from breast augmentation surgery include:

• A natural ‚Äúlift‚Äù
• Improved shape and symmetry
• Increased fullness
• Boost in confidence and self-esteem

Unexpected advantages of breast augmentation surgery are also common, with some women not needing to wear a bra under regular clothes after treatment. Finally, breast implants can last longer than a decade, so you can expect long-lasting results.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks have been a top cosmetic procedure ever since they were first introduced. Excess fat around the midsection is a common complaint, and sometimes a more comprehensive treatment is necessary to provide a full-body transformation. A tummy tuck reshapes the entire abdomen, removing excess fat and tightening abdominal muscles to create a slim, contoured waistline. 

You‚Äôll have the option of either a traditional, full tummy tuck or the new and trendy mini tummy tuck. Both options have their own advantages. A full tummy tuck is done on both the upper and lower abdomen, removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal wall. The mini tummy tuck is best for loose skin or stubborn fat below your below button. 

One surprising benefit of a tummy tuck is that it can also improve your posture and relieve back pain in the long run. Strengthening the abdominal muscles and eliminating excess fat on your stomach can ease back pain symptoms and improve your overall quality of life. Results from a tummy tuck are also permanent as long as your weight doesn’t fluctuate too much. Although you may see some natural signs of aging, your excess skin won’t come back, and your muscles will stay tight and firm.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most well-known cosmetic procedures. People struggle with unwanted fat in many different areas of the body. And sometimes, no matter how much you work out, the fat doesn’t seem to go away from one stubborn place. Liposuction is popular because of its versatility. Some patients use the treatment to help them achieve their desired look after weight loss, while some couple liposuction with other procedures to get better results. Liposuction can treat almost any part of your body, including:

• Stomach
• Flanks
• Back
• Arms
• Thighs
• Neck

Liposuction is often followed by fat transfer to enhance results and get a more dramatic transformation. Fat transfers into the buttocks are common and can be coupled with a Brazilian Butt Lift if you’re hoping to create a curvier physique. Liposuction treatment is also evolving to allow for more detailed results. Ab etching is a newer application of liposuction that allows your surgeon to create a classic “6 pack” shape in the abdomen. Still, liposuction is tailored to each patient. Your surgeon will work with you to decide which treatment is best for your body.
