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.
