Dr. Karen Horton is looked to as an expert on Plastic Surgery far beyond the Bay Area community. In fact, she was recently interviewed for an article appearing on Yahoo! Finance about her take on growing cosmetic surgery trends.

The article was written to highlight the Aesthetic Society’s 2022 predictions about Plastic Surgery trends in the coming year. According to data from the Aesthetic Society, Americans spent more than $8.7 million on Plastic Surgery in 2021 and may be on track to exceed that number in 2022.

Last year, some doctors saw an increase in patients who wished to combine more than one procedure at a time. Minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation was also especially sought after, as was the ever-popular facelift. In 2022, expert members of the Aesthetic Society predict that breast augmentations will increase over the last few years, as will facial Plastic Surgery procedures like blepharoplasty, which are growing more popular in this age of Zoom meetings.

What does Dr. Horton think will be one of the big procedures this year? She says, “What’s very popular and that I predict will be trending forward in 2022 are labiaplasties, given the popularity of fitness including spinning and athleisure.”
