Plastic surgery is often associated with older women. In fact, 2014 statistics on cosmetic surgery by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery showed that individuals between 35 and 50 years of age had the most cosmetic surgeries performed. The 19- to 34-year-old age group comprised just 17.2 percent of the total number of cosmetic surgeries performed last year.

The following procedures are the most commonly performed in women between the ages of 19 and 34:

Liposuction

This body contouring procedure is the country’s most popular surgical procedure. Its popularity can be mainly attributed to continuous improvements in liposuction techniques resulting in lower cost, fewer risks, and minimal downtime. While liposuction is popularly known as a way to remove excess fat in the abdomen, the procedure is also effective for eliminating pockets of fat in almost any part of the body including the chin, neck, arms, back, thighs, and calves.

Breast enhancement

Breast augmentation these days can be achieved either with implants (saline, silicone, or cohesive silicone gel) or fat transfer. Additionally, women need to choose their incision locations (four options). Each type of incision has its own pros and cons and choosing which one is best for you will depend on the type of implant you use, your preference for scarring, and any future plans to get pregnant.

Rhinoplasty

A nose-enhancement procedure is one of the most delicate cosmetic surgeries. For this reason, finding a highly experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is crucial. Apart from cosmetic purposes, rhinoplasty may be performed to address functional issues such as breathing problems related to a deviated septum.
