1. Liposuction
Liposuction continues to hold the top spot as the most performed cosmetic surgery in 2024. Its versatility makes it a frequent companion to other procedures like tummy tucks and breast augmentation. Surgeons use it to target stubborn fat deposits and sculpt the body with precision, helping patients achieve smoother, more defined contours. Here are some questions to ask before liposuction.
2. Breast Augmentation
Still one of the most requested surgeries, breast augmentation has evolved thanks to advancements in implant technology. Many patients are now opting for smaller, more natural-looking implants that enhance shape and balance without overwhelming their frame. This shift reflects a growing preference for subtle, proportionate enhancements.
3. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The tummy tuck has secured its place in the top five again this year. Often included in post-pregnancy “mommy makeover” packages, the procedure is gaining even more attention as patients seek to tighten loose abdominal skin following significant weight loss — particularly with the rise in GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®. Read our deep dive blog post into this procedure.
4. Breast Lift
For those looking to improve breast shape without adding volume, the breast lift offers a rejuvenating solution. By lifting and reshaping the tissue, this procedure helps restore a youthful contour, especially after pregnancy, nursing, or weight changes. It’s a popular option for patients seeking natural results with minimal recovery time and no implants.
5. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty rounds out the top five for the third year in a row. This eye-opening procedure targets sagging or puffy skin around the upper or lower lids, creating a brighter, more refreshed appearance. It’s especially popular among patients looking for a subtle facial rejuvenation without committing to a full facelift.
⭐️ Trend to Watch: Facelifts on the Rise
While a facelift won’t stop the aging process, it can significantly restore a more youthful look. Once seen as a procedure for older adults, it’s now gaining traction among younger patients (especially Gen X) who want to get ahead of sagging skin and facial volume loss. One possible reason? The increasing use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, which can lead to rapid weight loss and a more hollowed appearance in the face. For many, a facelift offers a solution to regain structure and balance.
