Top Cosmetic Procedures of 2025: What Real Patients Are Choosing

As we review the top cosmetic procedures of 2025, a predominant theme stands out at YES Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery Centre: Patients want natural-looking enhancements that fit their lifestyles. Whether it’s restoring youthful contours, refining the body after weight loss, or subtly enhancing curves, today’s patients want results that feel authentic rather than overdone.

Below, we break down the past year’s trending procedures, exploring why they’re in such high demand and why they might inspire your own aesthetic goals for 2026 and beyond!

Natural-Looking Breast Augmentation

The appeal of natural-looking breast augmentation continues to surge as more women seek refined results that feel elegant, subtle, and complement their active lifestyles. Small breast enhancement is part of the growing trend toward “ballerina boobs”—a look characterized by soft, balanced curves rather than dramatic volume increase.

Many of our patients choose breast augmentation to look like the most authentic, polished version of themselves. Options such as smaller implants, precise sizing techniques, and breast fat transfer for subtle shaping make it easier than ever to achieve results that move and feel natural while maintaining proportional beauty.

Benefits:

• Authentic-looking enhancement
• Proportional results
• Option to use fat grafting alone or with implants for softer contours

Ideal Candidates:

• Women seeking subtle, elegant breast augmentation
• Women with active lifestyles
• Women with realistic expectations and good overall health

Recovery:

• Most patients return to light activity within a few days
• Swelling gradually improves over several weeks
• Final results settle over several months (implants) or as fat integrates naturally (fat transfer)

Modified Facelifts for Refined Facial Rejuvenation

The demand we’re seeing for modified facelifts is driven by patients’ desire to look refreshed, not altered, and without the extended downtime associated with traditional facelifts. This shift has driven interest in advanced approaches, such as endoscopic midface lifts and the mini (short scar) facelift.

The endoscopic midface lift utilizes small, inconspicuous incisions and a fibre-optic lens to reposition sagging cheek fat pads and elevate the mid-face. A mini facelift focuses on early to moderate laxity in the lower face and neck, utilizing smaller incisions with the bonus of a quicker recovery. However, a traditional facelift with a neck lift is the best approach for patients with more advanced signs of aging who seek comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Benefits:

• Subtle improvement versus dramatic alteration
• Advanced techniques minimize visible scarring
• Shorter, more comfortable recovery

Ideal Candidates:

• Patients with early to moderate signs of aging
• Patients who prefer a less invasive surgical approach
• Patients who prefer a shorter recovery window

Recovery:

• Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks
• Swelling and bruising subside within several weeks
• While recovery is shorter, final refinements occur over several months

Body Contouring After Weight Loss

For patients who have achieved significant weight loss and want their bodies to reflect that hard-earned progress, body contouring is one of the most commonly requested plastic surgery procedures.

As a Royal College-certified plastic surgeon, I have the training and expertise to safely combine procedures such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction of the chin, abdomen, arms, buttocks, hips, and thighs to create a transformational, cohesive outcome. These custom-tailored plans remove excess skin left behind after weight loss, revealing your sleeker, more defined shape.

Benefits:

• Removes loose skin and restores firmer, smoother contours
• Improves comfort, confidence, and clothing fit
• Combines procedures for comprehensive transformation

Ideal Candidates:

• Patients who have reached and maintained a stable weight
• Individuals with loose, excess skin and stubborn fat pockets
• People in good overall health with realistic expectations

Recovery:

• Varies depending on the type and combination of procedure(s)
• Many patients resume light activities in 2 to 3 weeks
• Swelling gradually subsides, with final results emerging as tissues settle

Enhancing and Maintaining Results With Med Spa Treatments

More patients than ever are combining their surgical results with med spa treatments to enhance outcomes and maintain their ideal look. For example, nonsurgical options such as EMFACE® lift and tone the face while Morpheus8 RF microneedling rejuvenates and firms the skin. Popular “tried and true” injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers smooth, plump, and contour your features, preserving your youthful appearance.
