Plastic surgery is something that many people think about, and after careful consideration and research, some eventually undergo a procedure or two. Even though there has been a slight decrease in patients undergoing plastic surgery in recent years, there are new trends that are predicted to increase in 2011.

• Skipping Surgery – Many individuals unsure about going under the knife are looking to alternatives to invasive procedures. Some of these include facial fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and non-surgical fat removal.

• Fat Fighters – There are a few new non-surgical fat removal procedures that are becoming popular amongst patients. However, some surgeons caution that research is necessary before undergoing a new type of procedure.

• Increase in Fillers – Facial fillers have evolved quite a bit in recent years and some are providing several years of lasting results. New and improved fillers are likely to emerge as the year goes by.

• Year of the Cheeks – As celebrities surface with a fuller facial contour, plumping of the cheeks is becoming increasingly popular. Aging causes hollowness in the cheeks and in order to restore a youthful appearance, patients can undergo dermal fillers in the cheek area.

• Butt Enhancement – Shapelier Hollywood stars are making their backsides more acceptable and fans are looking to achieve similar results through buttock augmentation. Whether it is with implants or fat, butt augmentation is extremely popular now.

• Fat Transfer – No longer will your unwanted fat be unwanted. Fat removed during liposuction can be re-injected into the face to help plump up wrinkles and creases. It can also be used in butt augmentation to add volume and improve shape.

• Better Botox – Some surgeons are speculating that more advanced forms of Botox are on their way. These would last longer than Botox (three months) and provide equally, if not better, results.

• Recovering from Weight Loss – Several massive weight loss treatments are now available; and as patients lose large amounts weight, their body needs some help to adjust to the new shape. Body reshaping procedures to remove excess skin and tighten muscles are increasingly popular.
• Hair Restoration – New, less invasive forms of hair restoration are on the horizon and are likely to become highly sought after as they become available.
