“Extra’s” AJ Calloway hung out with Molly Sims at our H&M studio, where she discussed how she got her body back after having two kids.
She shared about her weight issues, “After my first baby, I gained like 80-something pounds. I had a thyroid that went undiagnosed. I said, ‘I just can’t do anymore sit-ups, I can’t work out anymore, I can’t eat any less, it won’t come off.’”
To solve her problem, she used Coolsculpting, which is a “machine for that unwanted little pooch. It’s not a weight loss thing. It freezes your fat and you go home.”
The field of plastic surgery continues to evolve and adapt to the changing aspirations and preferences of the people. Experienced surgeons believe that some new trends are going to take shape in 2016 and beyond.

Women Want Smaller Breast Implants
The popularity of super-sized breast implants is on the decline. According to plastic surgery experts, an increasing number of women are choosing smaller implants now as compared to previous years. This change in an average woman’s breast ideals mirrors the change in celebrity ideals. Smaller chested beauties such as Rihanna, Kate Hudson and Gwen Stefani are often mentioned by patients.
Rising Interest in Breast Reduction
Apart from a growing demand for smaller breast implants, there is also a noticeable increase in the requests for breast reduction surgery. Teens and younger women are showing particularly higher interest in breast reduction. One of the reasons may be the media attention received by Ariel Winter, the 17-year old Modern Family star who is believed to have undergone breast reduction.
Augmented Lips are In
Facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists increasingly report that they are receiving a higher number of requests from women who want more pronounced lips. Some women seem to be inspired by Kylie Jenner’s lip enhancement, in addition to Angelina Jolie’s. Bigger lips have been in demand for several years already, but the trend seems to be growing significantly over the last one year.

Uptick in Requests for Vaginal Rejuvenation
Plastic surgery procedures have traditionally focused on improving the external, visible areas of the body. However, there is a significant rise in demand for vaginal rejuvenation procedures over the last one year.
These procedures are designed to tighten and enhance the appearance of the vagina, and are particularly sought by women who have borne children. Media coverage has fueled more interest in these procedures, and non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation has also expanded the scope of this treatment.
Chin or Neck Sculpting
According to beauty analysts, the year 2016 and beyond will witness a major demand for chin and neck enhancement surgeries. While liposuction and chin and neck lift surgeries continue to gain in popularity, the recent FDA clearances for non-surgical double chin reduction procedures such as CoolMini and Kybella injections have further boosted the scope of this treatment.
More Men Choose Cosmetic Procedures
With new, minimally invasive procedures for chin and neck enhancement, a growing number of men are likely to seek treatments that women have already been undergoing for years. Cosmetic procedures, on the whole, are becoming less taboo for men. According to experts, many men have a specific celebrity body feature in mind, such as the famous jawline of Brad Pitt.
