Cosmetic Surgery Reversal - Why it is Growing in Popularity

Fans of celebrity news have likely been following stories about some celebrities making the decision to reverse the results of previous cosmetic procedures. Why is cosmetic surgery reversal growing in popularity among celebrities and the public? Find out in this informative article.

Cosmetic Surgery Reversal – Celebrities Reveal Their Reasons

Blac Chyna recently shared the news on Instagram that she had the filler that was placed in her lips and cheeks dissolved. She explained to her fans that she wanted to look like herself again. “I’m just tired of the look, and it’s just not flattering; it’s not what I look like. It totally changed my face.” Blac Chyna also revealed that she had breast reduction surgery and had the silicone injections that were placed in her butt removed.

There are other celebrities who made the decision to reverse their cosmetic procedures. Chrissy Teigen had her breast implants removed in 2020 so she would “be able to zip a dress in my size.” Courteney Cox had facial fillers removed and she considers the injection of the fillers to be the biggest regret when it comes to her beauty routine. “I look at pictures of me from when I thought I looked OK and I can’t believe it.”

Cosmetic Surgery Reversal – Influencers and the General Public Join the Trend

Online influencers are also sharing their tales of cosmetic surgery reversal stories. The statistics of TikTok show #reverseBBL with over eight million views and #dissolvingfiller with more than thirty million views. The number of people discussing this topic and viewing the videos seems to indicate a widespread dissatisfaction with cosmetic surgery results. However, this might not be the case as it might be an indication of desired changes to the aesthetics of the body.

While procedures such as breast augmentation remain popular, there has also been a shift towards taking a more conservative approach in order to gain a look that is more natural in appearance. There are also cases where the reversal requested by the patient is more of a refinement or enhancement than a total reversal.

Cosmetic Surgery Reversal – What is Causing This Trend?

The reasons why patients want to reverse the results of their plastic surgery can range from less-than-ideal results to a changing attitude about the appearance of their body to medical complications or a new aesthetic growing in popularity. As part of the changes that happen when a new aesthetic takes hold, it is not unusual for some procedures to become less popular as they might not fit the new aesthetic. In addition, there has been a shift towards an embrace of beauty standards that are more individualized than a generic beauty ideal.

Here is another way to look at it…The once-popular Instagram face with pouty lips and too much filler seems to be coming to an end. Instead of having so much filler in their face, patients want to have it dissolved for a more natural look. Patients who had a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) in the past are having some of the fat removed and people who had larger breast implants placed in the body are having them completely removed or replaced with smaller implants. The latest trend is to gain a look that has a more natural proportion throughout the body.

Cosmetic Surgery – Is it Still Popular?

Even though the story being shared online about plastic surgery is focusing on reversal procedures, soft tissue fillers were the second most popular minimally invasive treatment in 2020 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The desire to have a natural look also means the enhancements made to the body should look natural. This is one of the reasons procedures such as baby Botox and fillers are so popular with patients of all ages. If these treatments are performed in a conservative manner, they can provide an enhancement to the features of the face without making a dramatic change to the appearance of the patient.

As a result of the trend towards natural results, here are some of the most popular procedures currently being performed:

• Closed rhinoplasty is popular because any incisions or scars are present inside the nostrils so they will not be visible to others. It is also an ideal rhinoplasty option for a minor reshaping of the tip of the nose.
• Breast augmentation with fat grafting uses fat from another area of the body of the patient to give the breasts a larger size and increased volume. The results can provide a more proportional breast shape with the rest of the body without having to surgically inset implants.
• Noninvasive “tweakments” such as fillers and Botox provide a rejuvenated and more youthful look to the treated area without the need for an invasive surgical procedure that might result in scars.
• A brow lift raises the brow by repositioning the tissue in the forehead. The results are a smoother look to the skin, a lifting of the eye area for a more youthful look, and a restoration of the natural arch of the eyebrow.
