Body contouring procedures are becoming more and more popular in the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 2024 alone, nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgeries were performed across the country, with liposuction and abdominoplasty among the favorites.
It is, ultimately, a trend that combines aesthetics and wellness. The purpose is to highlight individual beauty, enhancing the best of each patient while always maintaining naturalness, proportions, and personal essence. Please keep reading and find out firsthand how, at Avana Plastic Surgery, we respond to these expectations and help you achieve the figure of your dreams.
Figures That Confirm the Rise of Body Contouring
The ASPS paints a clear picture: body contouring procedures are experiencing a moment of unprecedented expansion. In the case of thigh and buttock lifts alone, we saw an increase of up to 3% during the last year, while procedures to tighten arms and neck recorded a growth of 2%.
This is a phenomenon that is doubly striking if we also take into account the boom of GLP-1 medications for weight loss (Ozempic, Mounjaro, among others). The trend shows that many patients turn to the pharmaceutical solution to slim down and then opt for body contouring surgeries to remove extra skin and refine the results.
Liposuction: The Favorite That Never Goes Out of Style
Liposuction remains one of the most requested cosmetic treatments. Its popularity is due to the fact that it allows sculpting specific areas of the body, eliminating those localized fat deposits that are usually very challenging to eradicate with diet or exercise alone.
Added to this is its evolution, since today lipo is not limited only to fat removal, but also makes it possible to achieve a very precise body contour remodeling, thanks to the use of laser, ultrasound, or radiofrequency-assisted techniques. In addition to fat, patients who come to Avana Plastic Surgery manage to get rid of excess skin and personalize the treatment, even in small areas such as the chin or arms, and in larger parts such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Abdominoplasty: Redefining the Abdomen and Confidence
Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck, has become another of the most popular procedures in the United States. On the specialized site RealSelf alone, the search for information about this surgery grew by 84%, especially among women who have given birth or have experienced drastic weight loss and skin laxity.
The treatment consists of removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, while at the same time reinforcing the abdominal wall muscles. In this way, a flatter, firmer, and more proportioned stomach is obtained, with a direct impact on posture and, in many cases, on the reduction of lower back discomfort.
It also has a substantial psychological impact, allowing patients who opt for the surgery to regain their self-esteem and confidence. It also influences the reduction of social anxiety, the increase of motivation to develop healthy lifestyle habits, and, in general, improvements in well-being and quality of life.
The Role of Breast Procedures in Body Contouring
The bust plays a fundamental role in the overall perception of the female silhouette. In 2024 alone, some 306,196 breast augmentation surgeries were recorded nationwide, while breast lifts accounted for 153,616 procedures. We are therefore in the presence of surgical interventions that aesthetically transform the chest and help create a more harmonious figure.
On many occasions, these two surgeries are combined to correct sagging caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or simply the passage of time. The procedure restores firmness and proper positioning to the breasts, improving both appearance and everyday comfort.
Thigh, Buttock, Arm, and Neck Lifts
Body contouring is not limited only to the abdomen or bust. In fact, in recent times, there has also been a growing interest in procedures aimed at correcting excess fat and skin in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck.
First, we have the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a surgery based on the transfer of the patient’s own fat that guarantees an additional benefit: while the buttocks are shaped, the area of the body where the fat is removed by liposuction is also slimmed and refined.
Secondly, we can talk about procedures that correct thigh flaccidity, since in 2024 they grew from 2% to 3%. Similarly, brachioplasty (arm lift) and neck lift recorded an increase of 2%. This rise is closely linked to the boom of weight loss medications, which, although they help reduce size, also produce flaccidity. As a result, more and more patients turn to these surgeries to tighten the skin and achieve a firmer silhouette.
The Emblematic Procedures That Complete Body Contouring in 2025
So far, we have talked about the most representative and popular body contouring procedures of 2025. But the ones we have mentioned are not the only ones that attract the interest of the public, focused on improving their image and physical appearance. Below, we present other cosmetic surgeries that are trending and that you can undergo at our clinic:
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
- Rhinoplasty and subtle facial contouring.
- Facelift and facial rejuvenation.
- Abdominal etching.
- Brow lift.
- Otoplasty (ear surgery).
The great demand for these procedures is also reflected in the success of the Mommy Makeover and the Macho Makeover; two combined procedures we offer at Avana Plastic Surgery to globally transform body contour. While the first focuses on women who want to regain their figure after pregnancy, the second responds to the needs of men seeking a more defined torso, with abdominal etching, lipo 360, and, in some cases, gynecomastia.
