Certainly, I think we can all agree that 2020 was a year like none other. The good news is that things are now looking up and people are starting to be out and about again. In many cases this means that they are focusing a bit more on how they look. As a result, like many plastic surgeons I’ve seen an uptick in my practice of patients wanting both the surgical and non-surgical face and body enhancing procedures I offer.

For many people, women and men, having plastic surgery or a cosmetic treatment is a great way to achieve the natural, enhanced results they desire. If this is something you might be interested in, please contact me for a free consultation.

To be self-assured about your face and body, to feel confident and youthful and attractive, has so much to do with how you feel about yourself. For many people, women and men, having plastic surgery or a cosmetic treatment is a highly satisfying way to achieve the beautiful and natural results they desire.

In fact, plastic surgery continues to grow in popularity, with almost 18 million surgical procedures taking place in the U.S. every year, states the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And it’s not only women having cosmetic surgery. Men are also requesting procedures, wanting to look and feel better, younger and more attractive. Which procedures are people asking for? The following are the 10 most common plastic surgery procedures, according to verywellhealth.com.

Every year at about this point in the calendar in my plastic surgery practice, I notice certain trends that are happening, a shift in the type of body procedures and facial treatments patients are asking for. This year, I’m noticing that both men and women want to look fresher, healthier and more toned, but with a minimum of downtime and recovery.

This list of 2020 plastic surgery trends from Allure sums up what I’m seeing, which I share with you here. To help you achieve a more beautiful face and body, I offer a wide array of surgical and non-surgical procedures which you can learn more about here.
