What Are the Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures of 2018?

Plastic surgeons specialize in helping their patients improve their physical appearances. From facial procedures to body procedures, there are many different options for people who want to change up their looks. But which procedures are most popular? Keep reading for a look at which plastic surgery procedures have been most popular so far in 2018:

Breast Augmentation

It is no surprise that breast augmentation is at the top of the list of popular plastic surgery procedures because it has been for many years. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were approximately 300,378 breast augmentations performed in 2017, which is a 3% increase from the previous year. Breast augmentation is designed to make the breasts larger with implants or fat transfer, and it is popular among women of all ages and backgrounds.

Liposuction

Coming in at a close second is liposuction, with approximately 246,354 procedures performed in 2017. This was a 5% increase from the previous year, showing that liposuction is growing in popularity. Plastic surgeons can use tools to gently and carefully remove fat from specific parts of the body.

Rhinoplasty

Facial plastic surgery is also popular among both men and women, which is why rhinoplasty is currently the third most popular procedure. There were around 218,924 nose reshaping procedures performed in 2017, though this number is down 2% from the previous year. Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose smaller and better proportioned with other facial features.

Blepharoplasty

This procedure, more commonly known as eyelid surgery, was performed approximately 209,571 times in 2017. Eyelid surgery can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin around the eyes, getting rid of undereye bags and giving the patient a more youthful and awake appearance.
