Every year brings new aesthetic preferences—but 2025 represents a true shift in direction for both plastic surgery and medical aesthetics.
RealSelf recently highlighted the Top Aesthetic Trends of 2025, and what’s remarkable is how closely they align with what we’re experiencing firsthand at Dr. John Burns Plastic Surgery & JOLA DALLAS.

Patients are no longer seeking dramatic, high-volume changes. They want:
✔ Natural-looking enhancement
✔ Precision-based techniques
✔ Regenerative approaches
✔ Results that age gracefully

Below is a deeper look at the three major trends shaping aesthetic medicine—and how our practice in Dallas is leading the way.

Trend #1: The Post-GLP-1 Contouring Wave

With the widespread use of GLP-1 medications (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®), massive weight loss is becoming more common. What many didn’t expect, however, is the wave of loose skin and facial hollowing that can follow rapid fat loss.

At our practice, we’ve seen a significant increase in patients seeking post-weight-loss transformations, ranging from facial rejuvenation to full-body reshaping.

Most requested post-GLP-1 procedures:
• Face & Neck Lift (to restore structure lost after weight reduction)
• Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
• Breast Lift with or without Augmentation
• Tummy Tuck
• Thigh Lift
• Buttock Lift / Lower Body Lift

Loose skin often needs more than liposuction alone. That’s why Renuvion® has become a powerful tool in our practice. This minimally invasive skin-tightening device contracts the tissue beneath the surface, giving smoother, firmer results—especially for patients with mild to moderate laxity.

Trend #2: Smaller Implants & the Rise of “Ballerina Breasts”

One of the most noticeable aesthetic shifts of 2025 is the movement toward smaller, more elegant breast augmentation—often referred to as the “ballerina breast” trend.

These breasts are:
✔ Light✔ Athletic
✔ Balanced
✔ Soft and natural

In our Dallas practice, we’re seeing:
• A preference for mini and demi implant profiles
• Increased demand for above-the-muscle (subfascial) placement
• Patients wanting gentle fullness—not dramatic upper-pole projection

This trend aligns perfectly with the latest-generation Motiva® implants, which offer exceptional softness, motion, and reduced inflammation.

The Most Exciting Advancement: PRESERVE® Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation

This breakthrough technique allows:
• Smaller implants to look beautifully full
• Faster recovery with minimal discomfort
• No cutting of critical breast support structures
• A natural, harmonious shape with long-term stability

Gone are the days of “filled-to-the-brim” faces.2025 is the year of regenerative, subtle, undetectable rejuvenation—and this has become the defining aesthetic at JOLA DALLAS.

Instead of relying on volume-heavy fillers, we use biostimulatory injectables, which trigger your body to rebuild its own collagen for long-lasting, natural results.

Our most popular regenerative treatments:
• PDGF / Ariessence
• Sculptra®
• Radiesse®

These are frequently combined with:
• Alma lasers
• Microneedling
• Chemical peels
• Medical-grade skincare

Every facial plan is tailored to balance features, refine texture, and restore youthful support—without a “done” look.
