Dr. Barrett predicts plastic surgery in 2026 will favor natural results: smaller breast implants called "ballerina" or "yoga" boobs, more eyelid surgery for drooping skin, and a shift from fillers to fat grafting. The trend moves away from overdone looks toward subtle, surgical approaches.
Hey, Dr.
Barrett.
Yes. 2026 plastic surgery trends that you like.
You know, I do a lot of breast surgery, so less is more. So a lot of people are going with more natural looking breasts. I think that's great. Ballerina boobs, yoga boobs. Blepharoplasty is in. People are realizing if done properly, it looks really good, especially if they have that extra skin that's kind of pushing down on your eyelids. Facial fat grafting versus filler. People are moving away from overdone filler. They're going to fat, which is a little more natural, and they're going to more surgical techniques. Let me know in the comments what you think the trend is and if you've checked that out or not.
What plastic surgery trends do you want to leave in 2025?
Well, I don't know if they're trends. Well, maybe they are. Buccal fat pad removal. I just don't think that's a really effective procedure. Lip lifts, overdone, bad scarring. Gotta be careful on that. Liquid rhinoplasty, if overdone, can be dangerous. Facial filler in general, people are getting less and less facial filler. And then interestingly, those energy-based devices to tighten the skin, some are showing some fat loss with that. So people are moving away from that and going to more surgical options for facial tightening procedures or more peptide-based or injection type of stuff. Why don't you guys let me know what you think should be left behind in 2025?
