Trends in plastic surgery are always changing with new surgical techniques and desirable aesthetics. At Ransom/MD, we predict that the following facial plastic surgery procedures will continue to rise in popularity this year.
“Less is More” Aesthetic
In previous years, many people used plastic surgery to dramatically change their appearance. Although some people still desire these results, there has been a new focus on the natural aesthetic in recent years. In 2024, we expect this trend to continue as many of our patients seek subtle changes that enhance their natural features. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Evan Ransom specializes in this type of plastic surgery and he believes in a personalized approach to complement each patient’s natural aesthetic.
Why Do Men and Women Choose Plastic Surgery?
There has been a recent surge in patients seeking plastic surgery, especially among the younger generation. People have always desired to maintain their youthful appearance, but the rise of social media and competitiveness in the workforce has recently had an impact on the number of plastic surgery patients. With new advances in medical technology that allow for safer procedures and faster recovery times, plastic surgery has also become more obtainable.
Plastic Surgery Trends in 2024
Based on rising trends in the past year, we predict that these will be some of the most popular procedures performed in 2024:
Facelift
Facelift surgery is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Ransom specializes in advanced facelift techniques, including the minimally invasive mini lift and the more advanced deep plane facelift. While the mini lift is a great option for patients with early signs of aging, the deep plane lift targets the deep facial structures and fat pads to effectively lift sagging skin in the midface and improve jowling.
Brow Lift
The brow lift or forehead lift can give patients a brighter, more refreshed appearance. Heavy or sagging forehead tissues can push down on the eyes, creating a tired, aged, or angry appearance. The brow lift addresses this concern by lifting and reshaping the forehead tissues for a smooth, natural contour.
Chin Augmentation
There has been a significant increase in patients seeking chin augmentation and we expect this to be a popular surgery trend in 2024. A balanced facial profile and sculpted jawline are desirable characteristics for men and women, especially when they want to make a good impression on social media or virtual work meetings. Dr. Ransom performs chin augmentation with biocompatible implants that are shaped and sized to each patient’s unique facial structure.
Botox
Botox has a long-standing reputation and has seen a new wave of popularity in recent years. Botox is a botulinum toxin injectable that smooths fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. It’s a non-surgical option for patients who quickly want to refresh their appearance with little to no downtime.
