Plastic Surgery in 2015: What’s On the Horizon

February 11th, 2015

Going into the new year, plastic surgeons are excited to see what new developments 2015 will bring in this branch of medical care.

Advancements have made a wide range of procedures more attainable and comfortable for patients. Will this be the year you seize the opportunity to feel more attractive? A board-certified plastic surgeon in Madison, Wisconsin, Dr. Clifford King at Madison Cosmetic Surgery will work with you to help you reach your goals.

Predictions for 2015:

* Two for One: Adding cosmetic benefits to reconstructive/functional surgeries, and vice versa, is expected to become even more popular this year. “Today someone who wants a rhinoplasty for functional reasons may also desire a cosmetic benefit, and people who opt for the procedure to correct a bump or another concern also want to breathe better,” Dr. Park explains.

* Better Together: They also predict a rise in combining treatments to increase their efficacy, also known as “stacking.” For example, Botox and facial fillers work wonderfully well together to smooth wrinkles, and the combination produces longer-lasting results.

* Social Snaps’ Significance: Ever-present smart-phone cameras and the resulting social-media posts full of faces have more people evaluating their appearance and considering what they can do to improve it. Those who want to look better in photos go for cosmetic surgery procedures like rhinoplasty, eyelid rejuvenation and neck contouring.

* As Young As They Feel: “It is increasingly common for women and men in their 60s and 70s to seek out the expertise of facial plastic surgeons to maintain a youthful appearance.
