Blepharoplasty booms:
“The world of plastic cosmetic surgery has been changing rapidly, and social media trends certainly act as a catalysis to make the decision, but, still, the natural-looking enhancements, minimally invasive procedures, and body contouring are popular aesthetic procedures in 2025.”
Plastic surgery in the current year is all about achieving subtle, natural-looking results using cutting-edge technologies, providing the best effect at a minimum cost and with minimal care. However, when it comes to trends, the focus is on minimally invasive procedures that last longer, allowing patients to choose them without the hassle of a longer recovery timeline or diligent postoperative precautions. However, the shift in plastic surgery reflects the patient’s desire for treatments that enhance their unique beauty while fitting seamlessly into their lifestyle.
Dr. Karishma Kagodu, a board-certified celebrity plastic surgeon based in Bangalore, offers insight into what is currently popular and what is making waves in plastic surgery in 2025. Let’s dive into the biggest plastic surgery trends shaping the coming year.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in 2025, ranking among the top five most popular procedures, according to the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Blepharoplasty surgery is not only popular among older individuals, but younger people are also embracing this trend. As everyone is interested in finding solutions to enhance their natural features, this trend is expected to continue growing in 2025. Moreover, blepharoplasty, brow lifts, facelifts, and mini facelifts are mainly popular among people in their 40s because those in this age group often choose these facial procedures for a natural look, more subtle changes, and sometimes as part of a “menopause makeover” It does not mean it replaces non- surgical, anti-aging options, such as cosmetic fillers. Still, it is certainly a great way to achieve tighter and firmer skin, which is not possible through Botox or fillers alone.
Awake Procedures:
Awake procedures, such as facelifts and liposuction, are gaining skyrocketing popularity as people are more concerned about the real-time response in terms of what is happening to their bodies. They want to be sure about the results and seek information on whether the procedure is meeting the expected outcomes. Moreover, treatment is performed in an awake status, meaning that local anesthesia is sufficient to perform the task, resulting in a shorter recovery time, faster healing, and allowing patients to avoid the risks associated with general
anesthesia. This trend is relatively new, but plastic surgeons have been successfully employing it for over a decade. Many practices have been offering awake procedures, which provide a safer and more efficient surgical option.
Getting Everything Done All at Once:
Efficiency and time management are also crucial for making smarter, more transformative decisions. Many celebrities opt for comprehensive procedures to address multiple issues. However, the set of procedures is custom-tailored to achieve the desired rejuvenation goals. Moreover, aesthetic facial procedures such as facelifts, neck lifts, and eyelid lifts can be combined beautifully in a single session to achieve the desired look. On the other hand, the procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgeries (lift and/ or augmentation), and
vaginal rejuvenation can also be combined as a part of a mommy makeover, as a holistic approach for cosmetic enhancement to help you achieve the pre-baby figure.
Patients seek ways to address multiple concerns in a single session to save time, reduce costs, minimize fatigue, and minimize downtime. Cosmetic procedures that can be perfectly paired are:
- Tummy tuck paired with breast augmentation, reduction, or lift
- Facelift combined with eyelid surgery or lip lift
- Rhinoplasty with a chin implant
Natural Results with Fat Transfer:
These days, fat transfer is on the rise because it offers a safer option for contouring your body, with no risks of side effects or infection, yet natural- looking results. Fat transfer breast augmentation, Brazilian butt lift (BBL), and addressing concerns of the Ozempic face are areas where fat transfer procedures can provide more subtle, natural-looking results. Even though implants make the breast enhancement procedure more in demand and yield the best results, the trend of fat transfer is phenomenal and a perfect substitute when it comes to
overall body contouring, utilizing excess body fat deposits with no risks of infection or a longer recovery timeline. Moreover, it gives a more organic and balanced appearance, becomes a more prominent option to address thinning lips, restore lost facial volume, and plump breasts with fat liposuctioned from other body parts, such as the abdomen or thighs.
Smaller Breast Implants Are In:
Days are gone when women seek bold, big implants and are now replacing the choice with the smaller implants that look more natural. Breast implant size is decreasing due to a preference for natural enhancements over more dramatic transformations, added Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MD, Kaesthetics, Bangalore. Moreover, breast reduction is also on the rise, as patients want to be in smaller sizes, sometimes a B or a small C. Such a shift in preferences perfectly reflects a growing desire for subtlety and comfort, as proportions that better fit into the frame look aesthetically pleasing.
The cost of a silicone implant in Bangalore generally ranges between ₹1,00,000 and ₹4,00,000. Still, it may vary widely from clinic to clinic, depending on the facilities offered and the maintenance of higher safety measures. Moreover, breast enlargement treatment is performed for a more natural look and feel. However, silicone implants are often preferred over saline implants, as they use cohesive gel that mimics the texture of natural breast
tissue, reducing the risk of unforeseen events such as rippling or wrinkling, especially in patients with less breast tissue.
