World Plastic Surgery Day: Popular Procedures In Plastic Surgery Landscape In New-Age India

There has been an outstanding growth in total procedures performed since to date, with several notable trends and statistics emerging. “As a board-certified plastic surgeon and active International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) member, we keep close eyes and ears on the patients’ choices and preferences. Concerning the popular plastic surgery choices in new-age India, there have been some alterations in the projected trends in plastic surgery confirmed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Interestingly, in 2024, more of us than ever are getting plastic surgery,” says Dr. Karishma Kagodu, plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon, in Bangalore (Dr. Karishma Aesthetics).

So, what procedures are popular in current times are fueled by various factors, including social media, celebrity influences, and advancements in surgical techniques, all contributing to the evolving preferences and expectations of patients seeking plastic surgery.? “I have consulted many patients seeking cosmetic procedures with minimal downtime in a spade of time, as everyone wants to look beautiful with an aesthetic appeal,” explains Dr Kagodu.

Dr Kagodu shares a list of cosmetic procedures:

Menopause Makeover

Women in their 40s and 50s are opting for more subtle enhancements than before. The menopause makeover includes body contouring surgeries, such as breast lifts, tummy tucks, face lifts, vaginal rejuvenation, and blepharoplasty, to offer a rejuvenation effect. The body contouring procedures, which involve liposuction for arm, abdomen, hips, and thigh sculpting, aided with cutting-edge techniques, offer remarkable results. The advanced VASER 4D liposuction removes fat with less trauma and downtime and helps highlight the six-pack abs/ washboard abs, defining the muscles. Moreover, patients who seek more refined results by eliminating fibrous fat from the chin, neck, love handles, and thighs may achieve the utmost benefits of VASER.

Combining breast lift with augmentation (A medium-sized C cup is ideal breast size)

These days, medium but well-contoured and lifted breasts are in demand. Thus, in a fascinating shift for lift and boosts together post menopause, combining breast lifts with breast implants for “large B, small C” cup size underscores the evolving trends in the plastic surgery landscape in new India. Fortunately, everywhere regardless of geographical boundaries, these trends are updating.? Breast lift: It redefines femininity subtly yet impactfully by eliminating extra saggy skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.? Breast reduction removes excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue to achieve a proportional size.? Breast implants: Either silicone or saline breast implants are used to enhance the size of breasts, improve symmetry, correct deformities, or reconstruct the breasts post-mastectomy as a part of the cancer treatment healing journey.? Male Breast Reduction/ Gynecomastia: The excess breast tissue in men causing discomfort and embarrassment is treated by surgical removal, reducing the size of male breasts and creating a more masculine chest profile.

Liposuction

Even though the Ozempic injection for type 2 diabetes patients has been in practice to shed just a few pounds, they do not magically solve the concern of stubborn fat deposits. However, targeted liposuction is becoming more practiced in plastic surgery.

Chin Implants with jawline liposuction

Younger patients seek a slender, V-shaped jawline, focused on sculpting instead of lifting. Thus, chin liposuction helps bring definition back to the jawline. Moreover, chin implants in conjugation with liposuction are a comprehensive option to achieve a heart-shaped face.

Mid Facelift/ cheek lift and Neck lift

Mini facelifts are in trend as patients want results in a quick shot with quicker recovery. A mid-facelift helps return the eye and cheek areas to a more youthful position without the challenges of a traditional facelift. Also, a neck lift can be accomplished through a mid-facelift or facelift, requiring discussion with your plastic surgeon during the introductory consultation.

Eye lift/ Blepharoplasty

Removes excess skin from the upper eyelids, reduces bagginess from the lower eyelid, also improves side vision.
