Today, more and more people are spending their time and money on their appearance and wellbeing. But, a few trends, in particular, took over 2020. In this article, Dr Julian De Silva shares 10 facial cosmetic procedures that have been extremely popular among patients in 2020.
1. Natural appearance
Too much filler looks inflated and unnatural, puffiness around the lower eyelids or overfilled lips are common areas that give a fake appearance. Some days we dissolve 4-5patients fillers and the start with a blank canvass, we utilise the golden ratio to naturally enhance your face observing more feminine areas that can be enhanced and utilised to beautify your face. A common area is the cheek that can be conservatively shaped to give a more of a curvaceous natural cheek (termed the ogee curve) giving a more feminine and attractive appearance.
2. Facial Optimization With Fillers
Millennials, in particular, are opting for gentle facial optimizations with dermal fillers and neurotoxins rather than a full makeover. Patients are choosing a little filler once or twice a year so that they can look their best all year round without makeup.
3. Preventative Injectables
Younger patients are also opting for Botox as a preventative measure. A light amount of the neuromodulator has been shown to have anti-ageing benefits while also addressing mild aesthetic issues without the need for more invasive surgery.
4. Personalised Lip Augmentations
Everyone’s lips are different and many are investing more into achieving the perfect contour. Dr De Silva offers custom lip augmentations designed to meet his patients’ needs – whether this is through surgery or the use of fillers.
5. Botox for Cosmetic and Wellness
Botox is now being used for more than aesthetic results. Patients are opting for Botox to help with temporomandibular joint disorders as the neurotoxin can be used to weaken the main teeth-grinding muscles for a short amount of time. This also leaves patients with a more defined and slimmer jawline.
6. Eye-Opening Procedures
This year, patients have combined minor surgeries such as blepharoplasty with non-surgical techniques such as fillers and Botox to optimize their eyes. These treatments have resulted in more relaxed eyes and a better overall appearance.
7. The Facelift
Facelifts have been popular for many years now. However, with new and innovative methods introduced, several people are choosing to get mini facelifts and signature facelifts that call for minimal downtime and recovery. Many dental procedures such as veneers, straightening and smile makeovers are carried out alongside Facelifts.
8. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
The ever-popular nose job now has come second to non-surgical rhinoplasty. Several patients love this procedure because it’s non-surgical and minimally invasive. It also requires little to zero downtime and has fewer risks.
9. Male Rhinoplasty
More men are investing in themselves by getting cosmetic treatments. Nowadays, a more personalised approach means that men don’t have to be afraid of getting more feminine noses. Hence, male rhinoplasty is becoming more popular, giving way to more procedures designed for men.
10. Cheek Implants
As the trend towards wearing less makeup grows, women are opting for long-lasting or permanent procedures that provide them with the same feature-enhancing effects. Cheek implants are growing in popularity with many choosing this procedure as a way to rid themselves of their blusher.
