Plastic Surgery Trends for 2020

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were almost 18 million cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2018.¹ While the year 2019 isn’t over yet, we can predict an uptick in surgical procedures for 2020, considering plastic surgery has been on the up and up for years.

Top 5 Cosmetic Procedures in 2018

In 2018, the top cosmetic surgical procedures included:

• Breast Augmentation
• Liposuction
• Rhinoplasty
• Eyelid Surgery
• Tummy Tuck

Just as trends change with fashion, technology, and automobiles, trends change in plastic surgery, and both doctors and patients experience these shifts. Although breast augmentations have been the top surgical procedure for more than 10 years, we’ve seen more mommy makeovers, Botox, and fillers throughout 2019.

As minimally invasive surgical procedures emerge with the new decade, here are some of the plastic surgery trends and predictions you can expect to see in 2020.

Fillers and Injectables

Dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm are most commonly used for lip enhancement. In 2020, we can expect a higher demand for fuller lips. Patients who opt for lip fillers will want their mouth to look more prominent and defined with a natural-looking result.

Facelifts

The Mini Facelift

The temporal facelift, also known as the mini facelift, lifts the outer part of the eyebrow and tightens the skin around the corner of the eye and the upper cheekbone. This type of facelift is one of the best upper facelift procedures for treating eye wrinkles and early signs of aging. Patients experience less bruising, swelling, and bandages as seen with full facelifts.

The 3D Facelift

The 3D facelift is a non-surgical facelift procedure that utilizes a fat transfer to add volume to an aging face. This micro-surgery results in minimal scarring and downtime, which is exactly what patients are looking for in 2020. Unlike other facelifts, the 3D facelift will be an alternative for those who have always wanted a facelift but prefer not to go “under the knife.”

Body Contouring and Butt Lifts

Patients used to request dramatic enhancements to change their physical features. However, one of the plastic surgery trends for the new year includes subtleness. Body contouring and body lifts, including Brazilian Butt Lifts, are likely to be more requested in 2020; again, with a more natural-looking result. While patients will still want to look like their natural self, these types of cosmetic surgery are considered enhancements, rather than “overdoing” it.
