Wedding planning today often includes more than the venue and dress. Many couples - and even their parents - are planning aesthetic treatments well in advance of the big day. According to the latest AAFPRS member survey, 80% of all facial plastic procedures performed in 2025 were non-surgical, reflecting growing demand for natural-looking results.

"The biggest change we've seen is that patients are planning much earlier. They understand that achieving natural-looking results often requires thoughtful timing," says AAFPRS President Dr. Anthony Brissett.

Whether the right solution is filler, surgery, or a combination of both, trust your face to a to help ensure a treatment plan that prioritizes natural-looking, long-term results: facemd.org.
