It all started at the end of last year when leading names in the plastic surgery industry hedged their bets and released a forecast of nip and tuck trends for 2017. Surprisingly, the hitherto ignored ni***es topped the list. And in contrast to breasts, bigger is not, in fact, better when it comes to our nips.

According to findings from a survey conducted by the Plastic Surgery Group, patients with smaller-sized ni***es were rated to be more attractive than their larger ni**led counterparts. This was mirrored by comments from their spokesperson who said that there had been “a 30 percent rise in women requesting a smaller ni**le size in the last year.”

More prominent, less prominent, bigger, smaller, darker, lighter. Horses for courses. The range of tweaks available allows anyone to get ni***es that are just begging for a public “nip slip.”

“Over the last six months I’ve definitely noticed an increasing trend from patients asking for corrective ni**le surgery,” says Dr. Rohit J. Kumar, a Sydney-based cosmetic plastic surgeon who owns Sydney Cosmetic Sanctuary.

“And in that time I’d say that the number of inquiries have pretty much doubled.”

But what exactly constitutes a perfect ni**le? After all, they come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

Hands down, the most common treatment is the correction of inverted ni***es (when the ni**le is flat or concave and refuses to protrude or become erect on its own) which affects around 20 percent of all women.

At the top of customers’ wishlists, according to Kumar, is having a symmetrical pair — despite the fact that most women have — just like their breasts — asymmetric ni***es. Second is the size of the ni**le and ar**la (the pigmented area surrounding it) with a preference for smaller. Going back to the aforementioned study, ni***es that occupied between 25 and 30 percent of the breast were rated highest in terms of desirability.

A trip to the plastic surgeon doesn’t necessarily mean drastic changes, like full face-lifts or walking out with twice the butt you went in with (although that’s what gets the most attention, for better or worse). These days, plastic surgery is all about subtle changes, or what New York City–based dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dendy Engelman, M.D., calls “tweakments,” which you can easily get on your lunch break. “We’re seeing people opt for little surgeries over time and maintenance with injectables, which makes patients appear to age more naturally, rather than going from wrinkles to skintight at age 65 or 70,” she tells SELF.

According to new statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures (like Botox and facial fillers) has risen consistently since 2000, with a total rise of 180 percent. Last year, there were 15.4 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures performed in the U.S. That’s nearly nine times the number of cosmetic surgeries in the same time frame. And what are people popping into the derm’s office to have done? Here are six subtle treatments plastic surgeons predict to be the biggest hits in 2017.
1. The Vampire Face-Lift
Even before the Twilight series, we humans have had a fascination with vampires. So it’s no surprise that it's made its way from fiction to reality in the form of a beauty treatment. Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans might remember the time Kim opted to get an innovative procedure known as the Vampire Facelift. (Hint: She was ugly-crying and her face was filled with tiny droplets of blood.)

Surgeons say it's all about quick, natural-looking results.

There’s a new option for people who can’t seem to get enough of the dimples belonging to stars like Gabrielle Union, Miranda Kerr and Brad Pitt’s — a procedure called dimpleplasty.

Plastic surgeons have seen a rise in requests for surgically-created dimples, something Dr. Wright Jones, MD and founder of Muse Plastic Surgery, credits to social media.

“I think that our social media-driven culture is aiding to the demand,” Dr. Jones tells PEOPLE. “Our selfie-driven culture is likely contributing to why we are getting more dimpleplasty requests. Our patient demographic requesting this procedure includes millennial women who fall within a middle to high socioeconomic level.”

The $1,550 procedure is minimally invasive, he says, and takes just about 30 minutes. Surgeons make an incision inside of the mouth in the cheek muscle, which is “then attached to the undersurface of the skin so that the dimples are seen upon animation, but not with the face is relaxed,” Dr. Jones explains.

"You're supposed to want big b***s," says Dana, a woman from New York who is about to undergo breast reduction surgery. "Everyone is supposed to want them." That is unless your breasts have grown to a size that causes pain, injury, or the inability to exercise. In Dana's case, the former ballerina's breasts grew suddenly in her late teens. After suffering for years, she was left with no choice but to undergo surgery.

In this episode of The Plastics, watch as Dana vlogs her way through the days leading up to the surgery, plus get an inside look at what it's really like inside the OR. Dana's transformation after the recovery is remarkable.

Cosmetic procedures are of increasing interest to millennial men, a new industry report found.

Thirty one percent of men said they were extremely likely to consider a cosmetic procedure, either surgical or noninvasive, according to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Among that 31 percent, 58 percent were from 25 to 34 years old and 34 percent were aged 18 to 24 years. Both age ranges are members of the millennial generation.

The top reason cited by respondents pursuing cosmetic procedures to appear younger was wanting to feel better about themselves, followed by the desire to appear less tired or stressed, and then to please their partners. In the 25- to 34-year-old range, 42 percent cited wanting to remain competitive in their career as a reason to go under the knife.

Nose jobs and ear pinning are among the most common procedures.

For the first time, doctors were able to treat a child who had a life-threatening rare genetic skin disease through a transplant of skin grown using genetically modified stem cells.

The grafts replaced 80% of the boy's skin.
The skin of his arms, legs, back and flanks, and some of the skin on his stomach, neck and face was missing or severely affected due to epidermolysis bullosa.
The compassionate-use experimental treatment is detailed in a case study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
'Butterfly child'
Skin as fragile as a butterfly's wings -- that's how children with epidermolysis bullosa are described and why they're often called butterfly children.
The disease, of which there are five major types and at least 31 subtypes, is incurable. People with the condition have a defect in the protein-forming genes necessary for skin regeneration.
About 500,000 people worldwide are affected by forms of the disease. More than 40% of patients die before reaching adolescence.
Their skin can blister and erode due to something as simple as bumping into something or even the light friction of clothing, according to an email from Dr. Jouni Uitto, a professor and chairman of the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Philadelphia. Uitto was not involved with this study.
Epidermolysis bullosa makes the skin incredibly susceptible to infections, and in the case of 7-year-old Hassan, whose treatment was detailed in Nature, those infections can be life-threatening.

It seems Kylie Jenner isn’t the only one who is over big lips — the latest plastic surgery trend filling our feeds is all about achieving a smaller pout.

The spike in popularity has mostly been seen across Asian countries, where young people between the ages of 20 and 30 are requesting lip reduction surgery.

It is not a new procedure; social media has just seemingly made it more accessible, just like it did lip injections.

According to Thailand-based dermatologist Dr. Nuttae Nuttapon, the popularity of the procedure is due to thin lips being associated with western beauty.

“Asian men and women typically prefer Caucasian facial features, which are narrower cheekbones, deeper eye sockets and thinner lips,” he told New Beauty.

While the ‘idealistic look’ in Asia has definitely changed a lot in recent years, the procedure is still carried out quite frequently.

Ironically, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani told People that he believes the procedure has become really popular in the U.S recently, due to the stigma associated with overdone lip augmentations.

The procedure, usually performed by a plastic surgeon, involves surgically cutting at the wet-dry line of the lip, and pulling the lip underneath, inside the mouth, to reduce its volume. Yikes!

You can do almost anything with your smart devices: Need a ride? There's an app for that. Craving food from your favorite restaurant across town? Hop on the app. Now, there's details that may make plastic surgery available at your fingertips.

Looks like the new Apple TV app, Plastic Surgery Network, has created “the first and only proficient, content-driven arena for plastic surgeons and authorities to share their prowess and online generated composition.”

Not only will interested patients be able to "effortlessly search through various forms of media such as cosmetic surgery related videos, health, beauty and wellness podcasts, headline worthy articles published by credible news sources and more" but you'll be able to "shop around" surgeons in your area based on their ratings, procedural needs, skill and outcome.

The future is here — sorta.

You’ve probably read that artificial intelligence is transforming medicine. While the field has yet to reach its full potential, researchers are exploring ways that machine learning, a subset of AI, can dramatically improve patient outcomes.

Machine learning is ultimately about understanding large amounts of data, making it an important tool for handling the flood of electronic data available to health care workers. Its benefits fall into a few major categories:

Detect problems sooner
Deliver better diagnoses when a patient reports a problem
Predict what kinds of treatment will work, and how quickly
Monitor the progress of that treatment
With the ubiquity of smartphones, image data is more abundant than ever. Computers are often better than humans at identifying patterns, which makes them particularly strong allies in highly visual fields such as plastic and reconstructive surgery, where they can detect, diagnose, monitor, and assess patient outcomes.

Victoria Cross, a 57-year-old from Montgomery Village, Maryland, considers her breast reduction the best thing she’s ever done for herself. “When I woke up from the surgery and sat up, it was the first time in a very long time that I didn’t feel any pulling in my chest and my shoulders weren’t hurting,” she tells SELF. Cross, who had the procedure at the age of 45, was a D cup in high school and a G cup by the time she had her surgery. Now she’s a proud C cup and has never looked back.
But one of the reasons she waited until her 40s for the procedure was because of the difficulties involved in finding the right surgeon for the job. “Part of the reason for the length was convincing some of the offices that I wanted to ‘interview’ the doctor,” she explains. In other words, she wasn’t willing to sign the paperwork and meet her handler while she was lying on the operating table. This, experts agree, is a very important part of the process, and one that shouldn’t be ignored.
The number of women and men having plastic surgery is on the rise, with over 17.1 million cosmetic procedures taking place in the year 2016 alone, which means more and more people are trying to get into the aesthetics game. But you have to be careful about choosing the right professional to do the job. As plastic surgery attracts a growing base of eager patients, a number of unqualified physicians and even non-physicians are jumping on the cosmetic bandwagon, donning white lab coats and all. In addition to meeting the surgeon in person, it’s also strongly encouraged to check their background to make sure they’re certified to handle the exact procedure you’re looking to have.
To help you select a qualified, skilled, vetted, and pleasant-to-be-around plastic surgeon, we talked with experts and former patients who know the industry’s ins and outs. Here's what they suggest you do.

10/31/2017

In what feels like macabre plot twist — or perhaps a skin-care regimen designed by Dr. Frankenstein — blood-infused skin care is making its mark on the beauty world. There's more science than spook behind the increasingly trendy treatments like "vampire facials" (thanks, Kim Kardashian West) and blood-infused lotion — at least in theory. Blood — in scientific speak that's platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — "is being used to improve skin tone and texture, wrinkles, and even promote hair growth," Joshua Zeichner, director of clinical and cosmetic research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York previously told Allure. A patient's blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to extract the PRP, and then injected or applied topically. The latest application of the spooky science — the Vampire Breast Lift — is a little, well, weird, according to the experts.
A blood-sucking boost
In the procedure — an alternative to going under the knife for perkier-looking breasts — PRP is mixed with hyaluronic acid (the same stuff found in facial fillers) or can also be mixed with fat drawn from another area of the body or a saline solution, and is then injected into the breast to achieve a fuller, smoother décolletage. The idea is that PRP, rich in platelets, stem cells and growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production, and new cell growth, can add a little more volume to cleavage.

"I believe women who truly need a breast lift can expect modest results at best depending on their exact body," John Paul Tutela, a board-certified surgeon with offices in New York City and New Jersey, tells Allure. "A certain percentage of the fat that is transferred will be reabsorbed by your body within a year, but whatever remains at that point, can last for a long time."
The vampire breast lift might give you noticeable results — think putting on a pushup bra — but the actual blood part isn't going to stimulate breast cells to grow bigger, Melissa Doft, a double board-certified surgeon and clinical assistant professor of surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, tells Allure. "The PRP is able to stimulate the growth of cells, collagen, and elastin but it does so on a cellular level, which may not be noticeable," she explains. "There is evidence for PRP helping improve skin texture and appearance. It could improve the skin of the breasts, but it will not lead to perkier breasts — only breast implants and to a lesser degree fat injections can achieve this goal."

Experts caution there are some major caveats to the procedure.
