Claytor Noone Plastic Surgery announces that Dr. R. Brannon Claytor has been featured in the December issue of Allure magazine, contributing expert insights to an article titled "These Will Be the Biggest Plastic Surgery Trends of 2026." The feature highlights emerging techniques and procedures that are expected to shape the aesthetic medicine landscape in the coming year.
In the comprehensive article, Dr. Claytor discusses several advancing surgical techniques, including the continued rise of drainless tummy tucks and deep plane facelifts with submandibular gland resection. The feature also explores his innovative LaMiNa technique, which combines CO2 laser technology, microneedling, and nanofat applications to address fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
The Allure article examines how cultural influences and changing patient preferences are shaping the popularity of certain procedures. Among the highlighted trends are body contouring procedures that prioritize natural proportions, tissue-preserving techniques for both facial and breast surgeries, and the evolution of fat grafting methods. The piece also addresses the growing interest in regenerative treatments and their potential applications in aesthetic medicine.
"The field of aesthetic medicine continues to evolve rapidly as we integrate new technologies with refined surgical techniques," said Dr. R. Brannon Claytor, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Main Line Health Hospitals. "The trends we're seeing for 2026 reflect a growing emphasis on natural-looking results, minimally invasive approaches when appropriate, and the incorporation of regenerative medicine principles into traditional plastic surgery procedures."
Dr. Claytor's contributions to the article draw from his extensive experience performing complex facial rejuvenation procedures and body contouring surgeries. His perspective on submandibular gland management during deep neck lifts (platysmaplasty) addresses a topic that has generated significant discussion within the plastic surgery community. The feature also showcases his work with advanced laser technologies and regenerative techniques that represent the cutting edge of non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
"Patient expectations have evolved significantly, with more individuals seeking subtle enhancements that preserve their unique features while addressing specific concerns," noted Dr. Claytor. "The integration of regenerative medicine concepts with traditional surgical approaches allows us to achieve results that not only look natural but also promote tissue health and longevity."
The magazine feature underscores Dr. Claytor's position as a thought leader in plastic surgery innovation. His insights on the future of surgical innovation and scientific research highlight the importance of evidence-based approaches in advancing aesthetic medicine.
