The phrase “what’s trending” has become ubiquitous in the age of social media, and the realm of plastic surgery is certainly no exception. Our surgeon at MOSA Surgery is continually improving, refining and updating our specialities and safety protocols to serve the diverse clientele seeking cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. And while trends can bring technological and other advances in our treatments, they can sometimes lead to unrealistic expectations among our patients.
Here are a few of the trends affecting the field of plastic surgery that our clients, and prospective clients, might want to consider when deciding which treatment is right for them:
Screen gems: The prominent role online meetings play in the business world via apps like Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams and Skype has prompted clients — both women and men — to focus on their appearance from the neck up. This has meant more interest in facelifts, eye lifts and rhinoplasty (nose jobs).
Ethnic pride: While the small, upturned nose has long been held up as the fashion ideal, we’ve noticed a trend toward expressing pride in ethnic facial features. For example, maintaining individuality has become a priority, even when electing to undergo rhinoplasty.
Mission impossible: Wide use of photo filters and apps on social media has given rise to unattainable or unreasonable expectations among some people seeking plastic surgery. The artificially enhanced appearance of the eyes, faces, and skin are in some cases setting unrealistic goals among some.
You, only better: Rather than trying to approximate the beauty ideal of today’s trending celebrities, we have experienced more of our clients seeking to enhance and accentuate their own natural features.
It’s an exciting time in the field of plastic surgery — for our surgeon at MOSA Surgery as well as the increasingly diverse clients seeking our services. We are achieving results that one could only dream about just a few years ago. Please contact us to discuss how we can deliver those results for you!
