Kansas City Plastic Surgery

While nobody can predict the future, it seems that popular trends in cosmetic surgery procedures are beginning to shift. Where liposuction was once the most common cosmetic surgery procedure performed, recent numbers indicate a change in the most commonly requested procedures. New trends are starting to show:

• More men requesting cosmetic surgery
• An increase in breast augmentation over liposuction
• The popularity of non-surgical procedures, such as BOTOX®, is on the rise
• A higher percentage of reconstructive procedures is being performed

Some of the procedures most favored by men are:

• Gynecomastia (male breast reduction)
• Liposuction
• Chin implants
• Fractional CO2 Laser

While the cosmetic surgery field has slowed from the almost feverish pace it had reached in 2007, Kansas City plastic surgeon Dr. Matt Chhatre is still seeing a regular flow of patients. Despite the economic downturn, it seems that many individuals are still opting to aesthetically enhance their bodies.

Some of the most popular non-invasive procedures being requested are:

• BOTOX®
• Facial fillers (Restylane® and Radiesse®)
• IPL hair removal
• Chemical Peels/Microdermabrasion
• Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments
