Plastic surgery trends for 2022

The industry of beauty and plastic surgery has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, there has been a boom of plastic surgery interventions compared to the previous years, and this is mainly due to people spending more time at home, so the recovery was easy and there was no need to take time off from work. 

Even in these "new normal" conditions, some cosmetic enhancement procedures have continued to be in high demand and, as experts predict, these are the plastic surgery trends for 2022

Blepharoplasty Surgery

Blepharoplasty is the surgery that corrects the appearance of "droopy" eyes by removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the area. The procedure is sought after and considered to be one of the future plastic surgery trends for 2022.

The results of eyelid reshaping surgery last for years, improving the patient's aesthetic appearance as well as physical and psychological comfort.

It can rejuvenate the area by up to 5 years, which means getting it bags, excess skin, and wrinkles free. 

Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries in the world, but at the same time, it is also one of the most difficult plastic surgeries.

This plastic surgery trend for 2022 – rhinoplasty- is the nasal pyramid correction surgery; it is addressed to patients who are dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of the nose, and if necessary, with the functional one when it is associated with the need to perform a septoplasty surgery.

Rhinoplasty surgery requires general anesthesia, lasts 2-5 hours depending on the complexity of the necessary changes, and hospitalization until the next day.

Facial Lift, Cheek Lift, Neck Lift 

A facelift removes excess skin and tightens the subcutaneous tissues of your face, cheeks, and neck, improves the appearance of your jawline, lifts sagging cheeks, and stretches the skin left behind on your neck.

A facelift cannot improve the appearance of the forehead, eyelids, or eyebrows, nor will it improve the texture of your skin. It can be combined with a forehead lift and blepharoplasty to achieve an even facial appearance. 

Otoplasty Surgery

The otoplasty surgery is intended for patients with so-called "decollated ears," ears that are far away from the head with or without contour deficit, or for those who consider their ears too large.

The otoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts on average 1.5 hours.  

The results of the otoplasty surgery are often excellent, restoring the patient's confidence.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries and continues to dominate the trends in 2022 as well. 

If you are unsatisfied with the size of your breast, breast augmentation could be the solution. Bear in mind that breast augmentation does not correct very saggy breasts. If you want breasts that are bigger and lifted, a breast lift is needed in conjunction with the breast implant. 

The breast lift can be performed together with the augmentation surgery or performed as a separate procedure.

Gynecomastia

The enlarged, feminine-looking breasts in men are known as gynecomastia in medical terms.

The reasons for this condition are varied: it may be a hormonal response to an excess of estrogen or a lack of testosterone and can occur at all ages. Gynecomastia can also occur for hereditary reasons or due to obesity.

The treatment is gynecomastia surgery, a male breast reduction surgery that has seen an increase in demand in 2021 and is predicted to be a plastic surgery trend in 2022.
