1. Body Contouring After Weight Loss
Dr. Salemy anticipates a growing demand for body contouring procedures following weight loss in 2025. “Yes, we are definitely seeing an increase in patients seeking surgery after weight loss with the goal of looking fit. Many individuals want their outward appearance to reflect how they feel inside. With the growing accessibility of GLP-1 medications, patients are achieving their weight-loss goals more efficiently, and as a result, they’re motivated to refine their body contours to match their progress. These procedures cover a wide range, from tummy tucks and body lifts to liposuction. Breast and body contouring are particularly common, often serving as the final step in a transformative weight loss journey.”
2. Breast Lifts
Dr. Salemy believes the growing interest in breast lifts stems from a combination of trends, including the preference for smaller breast sizes and changes due to weight loss. “Many of our patients seek natural-looking results, especially after pregnancy or significant weight changes, which often lead to a loss of volume or sagging. A breast lift can be a great solution to restore shape and provide a youthful contour. For those who desire added volume, an implant can be considered as the next step once the lift achieves the desired shape. These procedures have become very common, and with more openness and normalization around cosmetic surgery, patients feel empowered to pursue their goals and share their experiences.”
3. Breast Augmentation
“We have noticed evolving trends in breast augmentation. While breast augmentation remains a popular procedure, we are noticing a shift in size preferences. With the recent FDA approval of a new implant, which has over a decade of data and has been widely used in more than 86 countries, we were thrilled to be the first in the Pacific Northwest to offer this option to our patients. Additionally, many patients are now opting for smaller implants to achieve a more subtle, natural enhancement rather than a dramatic augmentation. This trend reflects a growing desire for results that complement their natural proportions while still providing a refreshed and confident look.”
