Predictions of Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Trends for 2011
Each December, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery makes predictions about the future and progress of cosmetic surgery for the coming year. In December 2010, the group predicted, among other things that in 2011:
- People who postponed facial surgeries due to the recession will be ready to pursue the procedures.
- Cosmetic injectables, led by Botox, will continue to be one of the fasting evolving product genres.
- With a rising awareness of the dangers of obesity, more patients will be seeking procedures to enhance weight loss, or to remove excess tissue after dramatic weight loss.
- As the Baby Boomer generation turns 65 and seeks to redefine aging in America, more women in that age bracket will seek breast lift surgery.
- Non-invasive fat reduction techniques will begin to edge out liposuction as the surgical weight loss procedure of choice.
- The demographics of patients seeking plastic surgery will continue to diversify and more men will be opting for various enhancement procedures.
- Due to the influence of celebrity plastic surgery choices, body lifts and various forms of buttock enhancement will be popular during the year.
Additionally, the ASAP survey pointed to the increasing sophistication of cosmetic surgery patients in the U.S. due to the wealth of information available online. There will be an increasing trend of patient-based research in response to products seen on television of the Internet, with consumers showing greater interest in cutting edge cosmetic surgical procedures.
