You can’t have Los Angeles without plastic surgery—the two are inextricably linked. A hotbed for both celebs and the überwealthy, the city is also home to some of the best and most sought-after plastic surgeons in the country, all of whom are very used to catering to their discerning and demanding clientele. So what exactly are the 1% requesting these days? We tapped seven L.A.-based plastic surgeons to learn more about what types of cosmetic procedures their A-list patients are asking for these days. (Hint: subtlety is trending.)<\/p>
“In my office, hip implants<\/a> are definitely the fastest-growing requested surgical procedure, likely still influenced by the Kylie Jenner hourglass transformation. Hip implant patients come inr all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and races, but the majority are women who feel like they are lacking feminine hip curves and desire that Coke-bottle-shaped figure. It’s also growing in popularity due, largely, to the male-to-female transgender population undergoing gender confirmation surgery, whose hips remain straight or boxy no matter how much estrogen they take.” —Dr. Ryan A. Stanton<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles <\/p> “Breast augmentation<\/a> has always been what my patients come to me for, but the most recent trend is a decrease in the size of the implants they are requesting. More and more patients want smaller breast implants. I believe that the days of obtaining an hourglass silhouette are slowly fading away, and patients want a more slimmed-down figure, similar to what we saw in the fashion world in the ’90s. Gone are the days when big breasts were fashionable. I’d say the average implant I’m using now is a 200cc to 300cc with a moderate, natural profile as opposed to a 400cc to 500cc with a high, perky profile.” —Dr. Urmen Desai<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California<\/p>Breast augmentation<\/h2>
