A new proposed procedure, which would extract a woman’s [unwanted fat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropoff) from an area (like her midsection) and place it in her breasts, is said to cost £8,000 and is to be discussed at a conference of cosmetic surgeons this week in Cardiff. The 2-for-1 [plastic surgery procedure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tight-clinic) would make [synthetic implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-2), which have to be replaced every 10-15 years, obsolete. If all goes well at the conference, the women of England could have their butts on their chests within months. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Recycled Fat Surgery:** A new trend in plastic surgery that involves extracting unwanted fat from one area of the body and using it in another, eliminating the need for synthetic implants. - **Sustainable Body Transformations:** A growing trend in the cosmetic industry that focuses on using natural resources, like recycled fat, for procedures that enhance physical appearance. - **Breast Augmentation Innovation:** A disruptive trend in breast augmentation that offers a more eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional implants. ### Where This Applies - **Plastic Surgery:** The plastic surgery industry is being disrupted by the development and adoption of new procedures that prioritize sustainability and natural resources. - **Cosmetic Surgery:** The cosmetic surgery industry is experiencing a shift towards more eco-friendly and ethically conscious procedures, offering innovative options for clients seeking body transformations. - **Medical Tourism:** The rise of sustainable and cost-effective procedures like recycled fat surgery could attract a new wave of medical tourists seeking innovative cosmetic treatments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Filler Fatigue Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3-minute-clinic.md) - [Certified Injectable Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptra.md) - [Non-Invasive Cellulite Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noninvasive-cellulite-treatment.md) - [Post-Surgery Undergarment Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postsurgery-undergarment.md) - [Recontouring Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-flip-shimmer-gloss.md) - [Anti-Wrinkle Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-wrinkle-subscription.md) - [Holistic Educational Beauty Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverly-hills-plastic-surgery.md) - [Adaptive Lip Plumpers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-injection-lip-blush.md) - [Recycled Plastic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bristol-plastic-factory.md)
