Naturalness and a sense of proportion have been essential trends in aesthetic medicine and surgery for some years now. All trends under the banner of mini-invasiveness, therefore, in order to achieve natural results without major disruption. What patients want is to improve their aesthetic appearance with natural results and without long post-operative stays.

So, from past confirmations to new entries, what will be the trends in aesthetic medicine and surgery coming up in the new year?

• Botulinum yes but micro, a reduced amount of substance injected in different places of the face, for completely natural results. Great for smoothing out wrinkles and making the skin smoother.
• Cryolipolysis, a functional minimally invasive solution for removing excess fat through small injections.
• Rhinofiller, a perfect solution for a new nose without a scalpel, allowing the profile to be changed without surgery. Rhinofiller consists ofsmall subcutaneous injections of certain substances, mainly hyaluronic acid, which manage to change the appearance and profile of the nose.
• Cellfine against cellulite, a definitive treatment somewhere between medicine and cosmetic surgery.
• More pronounced, fat-freecheekbones are among the new trends for the new year, for a younger, selfie-proof face.
• Push-up effect for the breasts, but with more ergonomic implants and therefore soft to the touch. Volumes are changing, and oversized implants are no longer in fashion. The new breast is chosen according to one's physical conformation and should look as natural as possible.
• Asculpted abdomen withabdominoplasty, a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the abdomen.
• Cupid's bow' lips with lip lift. A lip lift that permanently lifts the upper lip.
• Beard and eyebrow transplants. These are the fashions of the moment, beards for men and thick eyebrows for women . The number of patients resorting to hair transplants to thicken up hollowed-out areas is therefore growing.
• Getting fit after childbirth is an increasingly important issue for new mothers who find it difficult to get back into shape after childbirth, especially in the case of abdominal diastasis, i.e. the opening of the abdominal muscles vertically above and below the navel, which can only be corrected by surgery and which produces not only aesthetic but also functional problems such as back pain and hernias.Also as a consequence of childbirth and breastfeeding, many women often resort to mastopexy or breast augmentation to lift their breasts, which, with breastfeeding, have taken on a hollowed-out and sagging appearance.
• New generation fillers, minimally invasive procedures that have had a real boom in recent years, allow excellent results to be achieved without any hospital stay. With the advancement of technology, new biological and biodegradable fillers can be injected ever deeper, allowing natural and long-lasting results.
• A final trend to note for the new year is the increase in the use of aesthetic medicine and surgery by men, still outnumbered by women but with a growing percentage.
