10 Plastic Surgery Trends You Can Expect to See in 2024
Posted on January 15, 2024 | by Boston Plastic Surgery
As we usher in the new year, our aesthetic experts at Boston Plastic Surgery and the Skin Wellness Center are excited to guide you in choosing the surgical and non-surgical procedures that will bring balance and wholeness both physically and mentally. Here, our specialists share the top trends shaping the future of aesthetic enhancement.
A focus on skin quality
Improving skin quality is more important than ever. Getting your skin in prime condition not only helps you look better now, it also sets the foundation for confident aging no matter your age. Physician-only skincare products curated for your specific needs and professional treatments aimed at addressing skin concerns such as rough texture, discoloration, sun damage, and other signs of aging have become essential components of comprehensive aesthetic care.
Our Dermfit Skin Fitness program is designed to condition your skin for optimal health by incorporating the products and treatments hand-picked by your personal skin fitness coach that will transform your skin as safely and quickly as possible for long-term skin wellness and a radiant appearance.
Post-weight loss body contouring
Healthier, more active lifestyles became a priority for many people in 2023, increasing the demand for body contouring procedures to help make one’s weight loss journey feel complete. CoolSculpting® and liposuction target stubborn pockets of diet and exercise-resistant fat and Renuvion skin tightening firms and smoothes lax skin—ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss.
Honoring diversity in aesthetic procedures
As we continue to celebrate diversity, our practice is dedicated to preserving the unique aesthetic characteristics of all ethnicities. From eyelid surgery tailored to respect eye contours associated with a patient’s ethnic background to safe and effective skin treatments for patients of color, our approach is all about honoring the individual.
Preventative procedures for proactive aging
Younger patients are proactively seeking treatments such as Botox® and Dysport® to erase expression-based lines and wrinkles just starting to form or prevent them altogether to maintain wrinkle-free skin as long as possible. We’re also seeing patients opt for procedures like facelift surgery much sooner than in years past so their results appear more natural and they enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for longer.
Embracing natural-looking results
Gone are the days when the “bigger is better” mentality produced unnatural, exaggerated features that left no doubts that you’ve had work done. Instead, a “less is more” approach to plastic surgery procedures has become standard to achieve subtle, natural enhancements that highlight your unique beauty.
Advances in aesthetic technology allow us to design custom treatment plans that resonate more deeply with our patients’ visions.
This shift reflects a growing desire for authenticity, aligning aesthetic improvements with your natural physique and charm, particularly in procedures such as breast augmentation.
The rise of minimally invasive procedures
Minimally invasive treatments like Botox-type injectables, dermal fillers, and laser treatments continue to surge in popularity. Their appeal lies in offering noticeable results with little-to-no downtime and risk, perfect for those with busy schedules.
Personalized treatment plans
It’s common for patients to admire a celebrity’s look and request a similar appearance, and for many years, aesthetic professionals tailored their services to match inspo photos as much as possible.
While bringing photos of features you like is still beneficial, the goal is to personalize your desired procedure based on your anatomy and lifestyle to harmonize with your overall appearance and thus achieve timeless results. Ideally, we achieve the same level of enhancement as the people in your inspo photos—fine-tuned to best benefit you.
The growing demand for male cosmetic procedures
An increasing number of men are embracing plastic surgery including facelifts, liposuction, and male breast reduction to restore and enhance their look. There has also been an uptick in male patients using cosmetic injectables and NeoGraft® hair transplant procedures to maintain a confident appearance.
Combination procedures
Combining multiple procedures in one session is preferred by many patients as this approach minimizes overall recovery time while providing comprehensive enhancements. For example, a mommy makeover can include virtually any procedure to address body changes after childbearing and a facelift is often combined with a forehead lift. Combination procedures typically achieve more natural-looking results as the body undergoes complementary levels of rejuvenation.
Surgery to promote well-being
In recent years, the perception of plastic surgery has changed; it is now often viewed as an integral part of overall wellness and self-care. Procedures like a tummy tuck and breast lift are not just for aesthetic enhancement but also for improving your physical comfort and supporting a more active lifestyle.
