With the numerous variations of [body parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropoff) that can be “enhanced” by going under the knife, DIS Magazine predicts [sculpted shoulders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) to be the up-and-coming hit for plastic surgery.

As depicted in the featured gallery, these shoulders follow the structures of different [jacket silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb), morphing and shaping the individual to a very particular style. Despite how all these prints are (thankfully) photoshopped, they manage to create a pretty realistic composition of these potential surgeries.
