As 2023 comes to a close, the aesthetic experts at Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery are already anticipating the treatments and procedures our Houston patients will be scheduling in the new year. Here, our board-certified surgeons, Dr. Bob Basu and Dr. Taylor DeBusk, give us the inside scoop on 8 treatments that will set the trends in 2024.
Body Procedures
The Skinny Shot
The Skinny Shot became one of the most popular non-surgical treatments at our Houston plastic surgery clinic in 2023, and there’s no sign that the demand for semaglutide weight loss injections will slow down in 2024. This medication works by making you feel fuller for longer while your body gently adjusts to eating healthier portions for long-term success.
The Skinny Shot has helped many patients struggling with weight management lose weight and keep it off, and it’s even helped surgical patients lower their BMI to be eligible for surgery.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling
Body contouring procedures will continue to be a must-have treatment as our patients seek options for sleeker silhouettes without surgery or extended downtime. Celebrities like Kim K helped put Morpheus8 on the map for its ability to improve signs of aging, reduce fat deposits, and tighten skin in the face and body. RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the skin and correct various skin concerns—particularly skin laxity, scarring, cellulite, and uneven texture—for a more youthful complexion nearly anywhere on the body.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting® remains the tried-and-true non-surgical fat reduction procedure, targeting stubborn fat deposits that diet, exercise, and even weight loss injections can’t budge. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells, sculpting the body without incisions or downtime, and more patients than ever are looking for targeted fat reduction to refine their physiques.

Facial Procedures
Deep plane facelift
A deep plane facelift is the gold standard among facelift techniques, and we expect even more patients to schedule this procedure in the coming months. As many patients are prioritizing more active lifestyles and healthier eating habits, fat loss in the face exaggerates loose, sagging skin and jowls along the face and neck. The deep plane facelift is the most advanced facial anti-aging technique, making deeper adjustments to the muscles and tendons under the SMAS layer of the face for longer-lasting, more natural-looking results.
Neck, chin, & jawline contouring
Procedures that contour the neck, chin, and jawline have surged in popularity and will continue to gain momentum as new techniques offer dramatic results with minimal downtime. We have several options to address the lower face and neck regions, with liposuction, submentoplasty, chin augmentation, double chin treatment, and a single-incision neck lift being among some of our top offerings. These procedures are touted by men and women for creating better definition and a more youthful, confident overall appearance.
Breast Procedures
Breast augmentation with smaller implants
Breast implant trends have leaned more towards modest enhancements for several years, with even more patients valuing proportionate results over more dramatic changes in their breast appearance. This conservative approach to improving breast shape and volume aligns with the natural look and feel that many breast augmentation patients are seeking.
Breast lift
For women who are happy with the size of their natural breasts but who wish to rejuvenate their breasts’ shape and position, a breast lift is the procedure of choice. A breast lift addresses sagging and loss of shape, often due to aging, weight fluctuations, or tissue changes after childbearing. This procedure reshapes and balances the breasts while elevating them to rest in a naturally higher position. Many women choose to forego implants once they see how effective a breast lift can be in transforming their breasts’ appearance.
