At San Francisco Plastic Surgery & Laser Center we keep up with the latest plastic surgery trends. This excerpt of a post by Bryce Gruber, originally posted on smartbeautyguide.com, highlights some of the procedures that are trending in the world of plastic surgery.
“If more than $13.5 billion seems like a huge amount of money for plastic surgery and the varied aesthetic cosmetic procedures that are offered by surgeons all across the country, good— it should, because it’s the highest amount ever reported by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).”
“Surgically speaking, it’s absolutely no surprise that as America’s waistline is growing, so is the country’s hunger for liposuction and other associated procedures. In 2015, there were nearly 400,000 liposuction treatments in the USA, earning it the only surgical spot in the top 10 procedures list. Because Americans are trying to be greener and more eco-friendly, it’s no surprise that liposuction patients don’t just want to toss their valuable, hard-earned lipids into the trash— fat grafting procedure popularity is soaring, because techniques are rendering fat cells more reliable than ever for plumping butts, breasts, hips, lips, and more. Nearly 50,000 fat transfers to the face were performed last year.”
“I’m sure that you’re wondering who gets the most under-the-knife action. It is actually American women in the 61-64 age range coming in at about 30% of the total count. The next biggest segment is women in the 19-34 bracket, who are now enjoying bigger breasts, smaller waists, and the more recently fashionable, generously-sized behinds whose popularity is growing due to cultural shifts.”
“While no one can say for sure, 2016 looks like it is on track to be another record-breaking year with mainstream popularity growing thanks to an open dialogue in the media and online forums gaining traction, celebrities and everyday people who are sharing their experience on social media. This discussion is paving the way for younger generations to make informed decisions as they enhance their appearance and boost self-esteem.”
