The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has recently offered its prediction for cosmetic surgery trends in 2011. Here’s some of what is trending up for the new year.

The new and improved (mini) face lift.

“As the economy continues to improve, demand for facelifts and other facial rejuvenation surgery will increase. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures will also see some growth, but people who have been putting off surgery for the past few years because of the economy will be ready for the gold standard in facial rejuvenation in 2011.” See what the Aesthetic Center offers for facelifts and Laser Facial Rejuventation.

Botox isn’t the only game in town anymore!

“The growth and popularity of cosmetic injectables (Botox, Dysport, Sculptra, Radiesse, Evolence, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane etc.) will continue to increase as products continue to evolve and new players enter the market.” The Aesthetic Center of Maryland can help you find the right mix of Botox and other Dermal Fillers.

Silicone breast implants to the rescue

“As the baby boomer generation continues to age, so do their breast implants. This year many baby boomer women who have aging implants and/or breast ptosis will replace their implants and have breast lifts.” Let the Aesthetic Center of Maryland provide you with a little lift for the new year: Breast Augmentation.

No downtime with Coolsculpting!

“While liposuction (lipoplasty) will continue to be the gold-standard in fat reduction, there is continued interest in Zeltiq for non-invasive fat removal. This method involves destructing fat with a cooling system. Fat freezes faster than skin. The body then breaks down the destructed fat through a process called lipolysis. Zeltiq is non-invasive, does not involve needles or cutting and no downtime is required.” The Aesthetic Center of Maryland provides Zeltiq for clients in Annapolis, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, and all across Maryland. Give us a call to check it out!

Bottoms are in!

“Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez have made a shapely rear-end a must have accessory. In the coming year patients will be seeking posterior body lifts, buttock lifts, surgical and nonsurgical buttock augmentations to shape and augment their buttocks.”

Zeltiq

Zeltiq, a non-invasive body contouring and fat reduction device, has just been given FDA approval for body shaping. Since getting approval, we’ve seen a substantial increase in interest. In fact, Good Morning America recently did a spotlight segment on Zeltiq.

Zeltiq is the first FDA approved non-invasive alternative to liposuction. There are no incisions, no down time and no compression garments to wear after the procedure! Zeltiq works by slowly freezing fat cells, causing them to break open. The fat cells are destroyed and your body’s own helper cells eliminate the broken down fat over a period of weeks.

Laser liposuction works in a different fashion. Through small incisions, a laser is passed into the fatty tissue, and the fat is heated until the fat cells are destroyed. Then, through the same small incisions, the broken down fat cells are suctioned out. A second laser wavelength is then directed at the undersurface of the skin, causing tightening. Most laser liposuction cases are performed with local anesthesia or a small amount of sedation. Most clients return to work within 24 to 48 hours!

Both treatments are effective at body sculpting. Patients who need a no down time solution for stubborn fat prefer Zeltiq. Those who have a little more to lose, or have some laxity in their skin, will do better with Prolipo.
