Cosmetic Surgeon Reveals the 3 Most Popular Procedures of 2023
January 8, 2024 - Rhys Branman, MD
We firmly believe that the decision to have cosmetic surgery should come from a place of self-care and self-expression versus what’s trending, but there’s no denying some procedures are more popular and effective than others. With 2023 in the books, Little Rock cosmetic surgery expert Dr. Rhys Branman is revealing the three most sought-after cosmetic surgeries of the past year and shares why they resonate with so many of his patients.
Breast augmentation
This one’s for the girls! Breast augmentation remains the top choice for those seeking to both noticeably enhance their chest and boost body confidence. Our patients choose this procedure for reasons including improving natural body proportions, enhancing feminine curves, and restoring lost volume.
So, why has breast augmentation been so continuously popular? For one, breast implants have greatly improved over the years. Current options offer patients both an exceptionally natural feel and reassuring safety advancements.
As well, patients and their surgeons can completely customize the breast augmentation procedure. Here at Little Rock breast augmentation specialist Dr. Branman’s office, we tailor every aspect of breast surgery to each patient’s unique anatomy—from incision placement to the choice of breast implant shape, size, and profile—and thereby achieve remarkably natural-looking results.
Shapely breasts are a traditional mark of femininity and, when performed by an expert cosmetic surgeon, the transformative nature of breast enhancement on both physical and emotional levels cannot be underestimated. Given all this, it is no wonder breast augmentation has remained among the most popular options for decades.
“Dr. Branman and staff are wonderful. I am very pleased with my revised breast augmentation 3 months post op. Dr. and nurses listened to my concerns and answered my questions. Feel whole again. Thank You All.”

Liposuction
Long live the king: Liposuction reigns supreme for immediate, minimally invasive, and effective body shaping! As a standalone procedure, liposuction is perfect for removing precise amounts of fat to contour nearly any part of the body, from under the chin to around the thighs. It is also suited to any gender, with both men and women finding that a bit of fine-tuning with liposuction can greatly improve details of their appearance and thus increase confidence.
But what makes surgical fat removal a must-have for so many patients? Well, aside from the obvious benefits of removing unwanted, localized fat, we also use liposuction to harvest fat for facial fat transfer—a safe and natural option to restore lost volume and enhance other features, such as the lips and cheeks. Notably, adding liposuction to other body contouring procedures such as breast enhancement surgery, tummy tuck, and mommy makeover can also take your results from great to stunning.
In sum, targeted fat removal can help create a seamless transition from one body area to the next to improve overall outcomes and create more natural-looking results. We have no doubt that liposuction will continue to carry the torch for versatile and immediate fat reduction and body shaping.
Rhinoplasty
Noses may not be the most talked-about feature, but it’s one of the most prominent and significantly affects your overall facial appearance. As such, when someone doesn’t like their nose it can affect their whole approach to life.
A rhinoplasty, or nose job, has yet again stood out as a highly desired procedure to address both cosmetic and functional concerns: its ability to balance facial features by refining the nose’s shape, size, and/or angle while enhancing the unique patient’s face makes it a favorite for increasing facial harmony. Additionally, rhinoplasty surgery can improve breathing and correct congenital or trauma-induced nasal issues such as a deviated septum. This procedure’s profound impact on one’s appearance and self-assurance is often life-changing for men and women and will likely continue to top the charts for years to come.
Honorable mention: eyelid lift
We couldn’t wrap up 2023’s most popular procedures list without giving a nod to the eyelid lift. Eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the eye area, addressing sagging upper eyelid skin and/or under-eye bags. It’s a top procedure for its ability to refresh the upper face and create a more youthful and alert look for dramatic results with minimal downtime (patients typically take just a few days off)!
Eyelid lifts have also surged in popularity for younger patients with “hooded eyes” to prevent a droopy, older-looking appearance and allow for a broader range of eye makeup techniques. We certainly weren’t surprised to see our surgical calendar filled with eyelid lifts this year!
