Looking back on 2025, two procedures stood out in my practice from an educational and consultation standpoint.
1️⃣ Rib remodeling
This year, rib remodeling became a more frequent topic during patient consultations, particularly among those interested in advanced approaches to waist contouring as part of an individualized treatment plan. Conversations focused on anatomy, candidacy, and long-term planning rather than quick or surface-level changes.
2️⃣ Silicone and biopolymer removal
We also saw an increase in patients seeking information about silicone and biopolymer removal. Many were surprised to learn that evaluation and treatment options may exist. As awareness grows, patients are asking more informed questions and exploring next steps that align with their health priorities and aesthetic goals.
As techniques evolve and information becomes more accessible, patients are approaching care with greater understanding and intention, a trend I’m encouraged to see.
