In Toronto, Breast augmentation has gained popularity with medical advancements since the 1990s. It has changed not only in terms of the quality and safety of the procedure, but also in terms of the trends for appearances desired by patients. At Edelstein Cosmetic, we use the most advanced surgical techniques and dimensional augmentation planning to ensure that our clients have the proportions they want with the safest, most comfortable procedure possible.
Here, we explore some the trends that can be expected in the industry.
Less Is More
Unlike past body ideals, goals for the female body no longer tend to be abnormally busty with a tiny waist. The majority of women nowadays who seek breast augmentation procedures desire a less dramatic increase in breast size. Most plastic surgeons in Toronto have recently received requests for subtle changes to their physical appearances.
For instance, a decade ago, women often asked to increase their cup size from a B to a double D. Today, the beauty trend in Toronto breast augmentation is to go only one or two cups fuller as moderately-sized implants complement the body’s natural curves in a more balanced, overall manner. This is witnessed especially in petite women whose body frames are generally smaller.
Perky and athletic breasts indicate an active lifestyle rather than an augmented look. Furthermore, many women have realized that although larger implants are attractive now, they can become seriously saggy and uncomfortable over time.
Increase In Choices For Breast Implants
Silicone cohesive gel implants have become a world leader for natural look and feel in an implant. However, recently, a new device called the Ideal implant has been developed. It offers the safety benefits of a saline implant, and the natural feel of a silicone implant. We can expect that these are going to be a popular choice for many patients who want a saline implant with a more natural feel.
Transgender Confirmation Surgeries
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has reported an increasing number of gender confirmation surgeries. As Canada mirrors the U.S. in social and beauty trends, a further increase in transfeminine and transmasculine procedures can be anticipated. These procedures include breast, facial and body contouring cosmetic surgeries. In the heart of the city, the Edelstein Cosmetic clinic with some of the best plastic surgeons in Toronto welcomes all patients and offers top services to help them achieve their desired appearance.
Mommy Makeovers With Breast Augmentation
For many years now, women knew that the life-changing experience of pregnancy and childbirth takes a toll on the body in a physical manner. However, with advances in cosmetic surgery in the past decade, the demographic of breast augmentation and plastic surgery patients have changed.
They are no longer only young women in their twenties, looking for a solution to a better body. More women over the age of 35 years old are now seeking the mommy makeover solution. This is a procedure that aims to restore the body to its pre-pregnancy state with a combination of breast augmentation and tummy tuck. The combination of breast and tummy procedures is customised for each person’s needs.
Scar Reduction Technologies
As with most surgeries, scarring is inevitable in breast augmentation. Fortunately, modern techniques allow plastic surgeons to achieve the best results with minimum scarring. At our practice, we use a blood-less surgical technique and patients require less time for recovery. Careful incision closure and atraumatic technique greatly reduce scarring. We recommend a scar care protocol for each patient and because of this, many can’t even see their scars.
