BEVERLY HILLS, CA ā A growing number of cosmetic surgery patients are moving away from exaggerated, overdone aesthetics in favor of softer, more natural-looking results. According to a recent report by Fox News Digital, board-certified surgeons across the country are noting a clear shift, with patients requesting breast reductions, filler dissolution, and procedures designed to restore symmetry rather than add volume.
Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, a world-renowned facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, confirmed that a big trend he’s observing is patients choosing to dissolve previously placed fillers. Many cases involve filler placed incorrectly or in excess. Unlike Botox, which breaks down in a few months, recent studies show dermal fillers can persist far longer than expected, sometimes lasting years.
The increasing use of weight-loss medications like semaglutides is driving a shift in cosmetic surgery. Rapid weight loss and subsequent fat distribution changes can increase skin laxity in the face and neck. This has led to a noticeable rise in requests for facelifts, neck lifts, and fat grafting, even from younger patients who previously might not have considered surgery.
Rather than relying solely on injectables, more patients are turning to surgical procedures like deep plane facelifts and surgical lip lifts to achieve lasting, refined, and authentic results. This shift makes the role of a skilled, board-certified surgeon even more important, as outcomes vary widely based on the physician’s experience and artistic perspective. The focus is now on effortless and balanced results, moving away from the once-popular “overdone” look.
