A recent article emerged from central New York citing the types of plastic surgery trends which are most apparent today in the world of cosmetic surgery.
Despite the miles between the East and West coasts, plastic surgery trends really are on point for both sides of the nation.
One inference was made which many San Diego plastic surgeons can agree with is that plastic surgery is not just for celebrities. It is available to all people of varying income levels. And what makes it more affordable is cosmetic surgery financing. This viewpoint really reinforces that cosmetic surgery is an investment in oneself.
For starters, the majority of patients range from their forties to sixties; however, some patients may have their first visit in their thirties. These women come from all walks of professions including executives, teachers, health care professionals, real estate agents, and more.
Many are coming in to give themselves a youthful boost of self-confidence in the workplace and in a social atmosphere. There is a growing number of men who are following this pathway as well.
People are holding onto their careers longer and want to look their very best by living a healthy lifestyle and pursuing different avenues in plastic surgery.
The advent of liquid facelifts, also referred to as cosmetic injections, is delaying operative facial rejuvenation treatments. The most popular of these on the facial rejuvenation roster are the following:
- Botox
- Juvederm
- Restylane
Both women and men are seeking these injections because they help smooth away fine lines and wrinkles without any downtime. It erases years when someone is in their forties and early fifties while also minimizing premature aging.
The side-effects are minimal bruising which can be camouflaged with makeup. Some even get these treatments during their lunch hour.
Rather than having a full facelift, many patients are welcoming minimally invasive lower facelift procedures where small, discreet incisions are made thereby redefining the jawline and lifting the neck area. Recovery time is very quick and the results are immediate.
Also on the surgical front trend list are mommy makeovers. Why is this so? Women who have completed having their families want the body they had before their days of pregnancy. A mommy makeover does a tremendous job in rejuvenating the breasts and abdomen.
Procedures included in a mommy makeover are a breast lift with or without implants and a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can also correct the separation of stomach muscles so a woman can regain her abdominal strength.
While a mommy makeover is a comprehensive surgery, the recovery time is really dictated by the tummy tuck. Tummy tucks can either address the abdomen below the navel or below and above the navel. Also included in the procedure can be liposuction.
Generally, the recovery takes a few weeks and women are thrilled with the transformation.
So despite the miles between New York and California, it appears that plastic surgery trends are mirroring one another. The best part of all is both men and women are gratified with the results.
