As we enter 2025, the world of plastic surgery and aesthetics is continuing to progress. Currently, we are noticing a welcomed spike in patients who desire a more natural looking result as it relates to procedures for both the body and face.
Below are 10 plastic surgery and aesthetic trends that we expect to see more of in 2025:
1. Natural-Looking Enhancements
With patients beginning to favor subtle balancing and enhancements, we anticipate seeing more strategically placed filler alongside full face tox treatments. As patients in their 20s and 30s are becoming more common, those investing in preventative services, rather than major enhancements, will also likely increase.
2. Regenerative Treatments
Regenerative treatments aim to heal skin tissue, as well as restore skin from aging and damage.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures
Overall, the aesthetic industry is seeing a rise in minimally invasive procedures. From peels to body contouring to injectables, patients are looking for effective procedures with minimal downtime.
4. Smaller Breasts
As a focus on health and wellness continues to take center stage, many patients are seeking smaller, more manageable cup sizes. This will likely lead to an increase in breast reductions, breast lifts, and implant exchanges.
5. GLP-1 and Weight Loss Driven Treatments
Weight loss medications have heightened patient interest in procedures that address skin laxity and volume loss. As a result, mommy makeovers, tummy tucks, and breast lifts will likely continue to increase in popularity.
6. Male Contouring Procedures
The world of aesthetics is continuing to see a spike in male interest. Along with Botox, facials, laser hair reduction, Coolsculpting, and skin tightening services are all becoming especially popular.
7. Skin Health Education
Thanks in large part to social media, consumers are becoming more interested in preventative skincare at a much younger age. In addition to injectables, effective skincare agents like retinol and vitamin c, as well as sun protection are making a major impact.
8. Breast Augmentations
Breast augmentation will never go out of style, but the approach to this procedure will continue to evolve. For example, Motiva implants are on the rise, as they offer a lower risk of capsular contracture. Another low-risk breast augmentation method is using your own fat to enlarge the breasts. This is an especially great option for patients who prefer not to use implants.
9. Gynecomastia Surgery
With an increase in male procedures, we also expect to see a continued rise in gynecomastia surgery. This could mean either liposuction, to remove the breast fat, or a mastectomy, which would remove the breast gland tissues.
10. Increased Focus on Treating the Neck
Botox is now FDA cleared to treat the platysmal bands of the neck which will help with vertical lines. As well, treatments like Morpheus8 and microneedling offer great options for minimizing horizontal lines often caused from looking down at our computers or phones.
