The return of “Body Minimalism”.
“In recent years, it’s really been in fashion for an XXL butt, like the Kardashian-Jenner sisters. This is the reason why requests for lipofilling have grown so much. That is changing because they have all lost weight, it looks like the fat has been removed. And since they have a great impact on trends today, it is followed,” analyzes Dr: Oren Marco, a plastic surgeon in Paris, who is watching the emergence of a new beauty rule. More precisely, the revival of an ideal from the past. “There is such a return to minimalist body in the 1990s. We are going back to the small breasts and small butt trend, which is mainly driven by the United States. The demand for volume has decreased,” continues the specialist, who specifically mentions that now the requests for lipofilling in France have decreased.
It’s not just the body, the faces are blowing too.

But here they are corrections inspired far more by social pressure than internal confusion.

If the expert admits that there have always been body trends in all eras, “today they are strengthened by the multiplication of images and messages. We are moving towards accelerating the pace of these modes. In addition, with the diversification and evolution of aesthetic techniques that offer retouching capabilities on every square centimeter of skin, physical fitness has become even more of a perennial subject of dissatisfaction. A democratization, almost a miniaturization, that spreads across the entire planet. “Everyone has a cell phone and can access this information. We use these images en masse, which come from all over the world, which means that there is no longer any cultural difference between surgical operations,” adds D.r: Oren Marko. So what happens when a makeover on our face or body is no longer fashionable? “Fashions change and we get addicted. And identity in all of that?” asks Ann Gottman.

An opinion shared by his colleague dr.r: Oren Marko. “Even if there’s an aesthetic trend that’s flourishing around the world on TikTok or Instagram, it doesn’t necessarily mean that people are converting and taking action. It seems that some actually feel this need for social belonging, but these are exceptions and deviations. It remains a very small part of the demand,” assures the doctor, repeating that in our country “we carry out justified and reasonable surgery, and patients listen to doctors’ opinions.”
