Trends in plastic surgery are always shifting and evolving, but one thing we’ve noticed at our practice in Sacramento for some time is that people want results that look and feel natural and balanced. Heck, we even named our office The Natural Result! Now, the latest data from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reflects this same trend across much of the country and especially in our area.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular cosmetic procedures in California in the last year and what’s behind these trends.
1. Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation remains a top procedure in California and across the US, and it continues to be one of the most common consultations we see at our practice. Many of our patients come in wanting to restore the volume they lost after pregnancy, weight changes or just the natural aging process. Others simply want a shape that feels more proportional and provides a boost of self-confidence.
To achieve this natural look and feel that’s so popular today, our plastic surgeons stress the importance of customization. Modern implants come in a wide range of styles, allowing us to tailor your breast augmentation to your natural body type, your lifestyle and the look you’re hoping to achieve.
2. Liposuction
Liposuction continues to be one of the most requested body contouring procedures statewide, and it’s easy to see why. Even with a healthy lifestyle, most people have at least one area that remains resistant to diet and exercise – the lower abdomen, hips, thighs and under the chin are common culprits.
With the increase in the use of weight loss medications such as Ozempic, liposuction has become even more in-demand. Many of our Sacramento patients explain that they are looking for the last finishing touch to their weight loss efforts in liposuction.
3. Tummy Tuck
The particularly challenging thing about loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles is that they cannot be fixed with diet and exercise alone. Thus, tummy tucks are especially common among our post-pregnancy and post-weight-loss patients. Whether you’re dealing with muscle separation, loose skin or both, a tummy tuck can help to restore a firmer, smoother midsection that aligns with how you feel on the inside.
4. Breast Lift
Breast lifts continue to become more and more popular, with many women coming in saying they don’t necessarily want to be larger, they just want their breasts to sit higher, look firmer and feel more youthful again. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes and aging can all contribute to sagging.
During a consultation, our surgeons walk through whether a breast lift alone is the right fit or whether adding breast implants may be the best option to achieve the desired results.
5. Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery consistently ranks among the most popular procedures in California, and our practice is no exception. Patients often tell us they’re tired of looking tired, even when they’re full of energy. Heavy upper lids, puffiness and loose skin can create that worn-out or aged appearance.
In some cases, drooping upper eyelids can also lead to vision impairment, which can be addressed through eyelid surgery.
