The 5 Biggest Procedures of 2018

Thanks to technological advancements, patients now have the option to enhance their faces and bodies with a wide-range of non-invasive procedures.

In fact, more and more women and men are turning to injectable treatments to address concerns that were once only possible with surgery.

What’s more, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that a whopping 15.7 million non-invasive procedures were performed in 2017.

So, which procedures are going to be popular this year?

According to aesthetic experts, here are the 5 biggest procedures of 2018.

1. Non-Surgical Nose Job

A non-surgical nose job is an excellent way for patients to reshape and straighten the nose without surgery, incisions, or downtime.

The procedure takes just 15-20 minutes and involves injecting a hyaluronic acid filler, like Juvederm or Restylane, to improve nasal size, symmetry, and definition.

2. Tear Trough Injections

Dark under eye circles, which make people look tired and older, are one of the most common cosmetic concerns. In the past, surgery, more sleep, and under eye concealer were the only options for addressing this issue.

Fortunately, injecting dermal filler into the tear trough area can now remedy the dark shadows under eyes.

In a matter of a few minutes, the eyes look brighter, refreshed, and more youthful, and patients can resume normal activities right away.

3. Lip Enhancement

Since celebrities like Kylie Jenner have admitted to pluming their pouts with hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, lip enhancement has become more popular than ever.

This non-surgical procedure allows patients to improve lip fullness and symmetry, define lip borders, and diminish vertical lines around the mouth.

4. Non-Surgical Chin and Cheek Augmentation

Gone are the days when implants were they only way to add structure to a weak chin or barely-there cheek bones.

Now, dermal fillers like Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma can be injected into the chin and cheeks to increase projection and improve facial harmony and balance.

5. Injectable Butt Lift

A pert posterior is another in-demand asset these days, and patients no longer have to endure an invasive surgery to get a better backside.

That’s because Sculptra, a dermal filler comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, can be used to lift and augment buttocks during an in-office procedure.

While it often requires a series of treatments, a Sculptra Butt Lift helps individuals achieve a rounder, fuller, and shapelier behind without any incisions or downtime.
