Plastic surgery is a field that is constantly evolving with new discoveries, techniques and materials. New trends in plastic surgery emerge every year. Some persist, while others fade away. In this article, you will learn about five of the hottest trends in plastic surgery in 2024.

Trendy procedures and treatments

Beauty ideals change over time, and new trends in plastic surgery come onto the market and replace the old ones. As a result, there is now a plethora of different treatments and surgical procedures to choose from.

Last year, "foxy eyes" were the new hot thing. Today, it is instead the quick procedures that have become most popular. The trends in plastic surgery in Sweden are very different from many other countries. In the United States, many people strive for a look where you can clearly see that procedures have been performed. In Sweden, the focus is instead on recreating the natural body and getting as discreet a result as possible. We want to feel more beautiful and look fresher, but without it being obvious that we have had plastic surgery.

1. More natural breast enlargements

In the past, breast augmentation with implants meant a clearly enlarged bust. Now there are many degrees of breast augmentation and different types of implants, which has made breast augmentation more attractive. With teardrop-shaped implants in smaller sizes, you can get breasts that look completely natural after breast augmentation.

2. fat grafting

Fat grafting has become very popular in recent years. Fat is taken from one part of the body and then transplanted to another part. For example, liposuction of the abdomen and then using the fat to fill out the buttocks is a common procedure. It is also popular to use fat from unwanted areas of the body, such as the stomach, to fill out the lips.

3. liposuction

Like fat grafting, liposuction has become more popular as patients realize that certain stubborn fat deposits are extremely difficult - if not impossible - to exercise away. Many people opt for liposuction of the chin to get rid of a double chin, while others want to get rid of stubborn fatty tissue around the knees or hips, for example.

4. Age prevention interventions

In recent trends, we can also see that age-prevention procedures are gaining in popularity. Ageing naturally is no longer a given, and more and more people are opting for procedures to rejuvenate their appearance. This can range from smoothing out wrinkles with muscle relaxants or fillersto undergoing a major facelift or eyelid surgery. Most recently, the Hollywood Facelift is on the rise - a facelift that is a little more discreet than the classic one but gives a fresh and youthful look.

5. ethnic adaptations get a greater focus

Beauty is in all of us and comes in all colors and shapes, and plastic surgery has in recent years broadened its focus to take into account ethnic anatomical differences. By understanding and respecting people's differences, methods and results can be tailored to the patient's body - not to a narrow ideal. The aim of this is to complement the patient's original features to achieve a more natural and personalized result.
