Plastic surgery in most Western countries is a very popular and accepted way of life, and due to this acceptance and the desire for plastic surgery, it is home to some of the leading and experienced plastic surgeons, other places such as the US, which is renowned for its skilled surgeons, amongst a very youth-obsessed culture.
When it comes to popular surgeries, these are very different from decade to decade, with some consistent surgeries remaining a favorite, but let’s discuss this year’s top cosmetic surgeries in the UK
Breast Enlargement (Augmentation)
A breast enlargement is a staple in the cosmetic industry and is a well-sought-after surgery since the mid-90s, as this has always been an ‘attractive’ feature for women to have, not only for themselves but also for the male and female gaze. This surgery for many can improve their mental well-being and restore their body post-children, and provide an anti-ageing solution with a lift.
Blepharoplasty
If you aren’t aware of what this surgery is, it can include the removal of excess skin from the eyelid or the lower eye portion. It was primarily an option for those who were affected by loose skin with age that obstructed their vision. However, it’s become a more popular choice for those who are younger but wish to remove their ‘hooded’ eyes. This gives it are more ‘open’ look but also makes it easier for makeup application and so forth.
Over the last 5 years, this has become an increasingly popular surgery, especially for celebrities, which is why more younger individuals are learning about this surgery and undergoing it.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, also referred to as a tummy tuck, is a procedure that removes both fat and extra skin from the area. It’s a popular treatment for those who have undergone fat loss, but also very popular for women who have given birth and are left with stubborn fat and loose skin.
Due to the inevitability that loose skin can be uncomfortable, inconvenient and an insecurity to many, it makes complete and utter sense why this treatment is one of the UK’s most popular treatments.
Liposuction
Since the 90’s before being skinny was the thing of the time, and for some people who struggled with stubborn fat in specific areas, such as the lower stomach, under the chin and maybe the arms, have felt the urge to have this fat removed.
This will likely remain one of the most popular treatments in the UK and USA because of the desire for a flat and chiselled physique, consistently remaining the beauty standard for the most part.
Rhinoplasty
This treatment has become an increasingly popular option even for those without issues, deformities or ‘large’ bridged noses. There have been trends on social media over the last couple of years of people showing their ‘side profile’, which shows their small nose. Unfortunately, this can cause insecurity, or for it to worsen, as human nature, we tend to compare ourselves to others and the modern form of a beauty standard. This is upsetting but inherently true; therefore, these trends on social media, news on celebrities with nose jobs and so forth over the last two decades have encouraged more and more people to undergo a nose job.
