Men and women go under the knife to make themselves look better and feel good, but the public’s perception of beauty changes all the time, with large breasts and slim waists being huge in the ‘30s and big bottoms now the favourite look today.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of the most popular plastic surgery trends of the year to help you decide what procedure to undertake to achieve your aesthetic goals.
While females wanted to be willowy and thin in the ‘60s, tall and toned in the ‘80s, and androgynous and waifish in the ‘90s, since the noughties, women have sought large breasts, big butts, and flat stomachs.
Thanks to the popularity of Kim Kardashian, curves have made a big return, with the reality TV star becoming world famous for her ample derriere. The 5ft 3in celebrity started such a craze for large bottoms and tiny waists when she flew on to our screens more than ten years ago that ladies all around the world have tried new diets and workouts to achieve her curvaceous look.
However, there is only so much exercise can do, which is why more and more women have turned to Brazilian butt lifts (BBL). This procedure has been around for the last few years, and is still be attracting lots of interest.
It involves transferring fat cells from one area of the body, such as the stomach, to the bum to create a rounder, and shapelier backside.
Similarly, body contouring procedures seem to be getting more popular, as many men and women overhauled their bodies during the two years of lockdowns. While lots of people put on weight during the pandemic, some used it as a chance to shift those pounds. However, they have now been left with saggy skin.
That is why body contouring surgery, which removes excess skin and repairs stretched tissue, is growing in popularity. Creating the perfect body can be the reward for putting in the hard work to lose the weight in the first place.
Mommy Makeovers are also big news this year, as ladies try to regain their pre-baby bodies after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Lots of women lose their sense of identity when their baby comes along, particularly if they are unable to shed the weight or fit into their old jeans.
Therefore, a whole makeover, which involves a breast lift, labiaplasty, tummy tuck, liposuction, and butt lift could be the answer for lots of mums out there.
Moving away from the body, lots of younger women are opting for mini facelifts these days, as opposed to waiting until they are older for a more invasive procedure. The trend of wanting to turn back the clock has been replaced with a desire to stop time entirely, as more people look for cosmetic procedures that keep their appearance young and fresh for as long as possible.
