Non-surgical methods to stop the effects of aging are becoming more and more popular. In fact, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, transdermal injectable fillers such as Botox Cosmetic have been increasing in popularity for the past 12 years. Statistics show that more than two million people received Botox treatment in 2010.

An interesting trend is starting to emerge in the field of plastic surgery in the United States; and, it is that more patients are beginning to seek out more subtle changes in their appearance. In California’s High Desert and Orange County in particular, patients insist upon highest level of medical precision to achieve a natural-looking appearance. As an example, European trends in breast reshaping typically gravitate to smaller and more incremental changes in cup size to achieve a more subtle enhancement. By contrast, cosmetic patients in the United States characteristically tend to choose higher profile implants.

Mommy Makeovers are becoming more popular than ever. Combining a breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction in a Mommy Makeover procedure is a great way to reverse some of the effects of childbirth. These types of surgical procedures give many female patients a greater sense of vitality and confidence in their body. By performing Mommy Makeovers, especially in Southern California’s scenic High Desert many surgeons are seeing a greater degree of patient satisfaction with these body contouring surgeries. 

Bags are not just for the airlines. As we age, many of us must combat not only the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but to a greater degree bags under our eyes. Modern cosmetic surgery has come a long way in helping us drop those bags. Injectable transdermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm have increased in popularity. The primary advantage is that the treatment restores volume under the eyes, shaving years off a person’s appearance without surgery or lengthy recovery. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, dermal filler usage increased more than three percent in 2010 from 2009.  More than ever, patients from all age groups are showing inclinations in restoring their appearance utilizing minimally invasive options. New generation of injectable fillers are often used to address a range of cosmetic issues that can last for months.
