Summary
New year, new predictions! Kirstin revisits Dr. James Koehler’s takes from last year to see which ones held up, then he and Dr. Vincent Gardner look ahead to 2026 and where facial cosmetic trends may be headed. Get their takes on the growing shift toward more natural results, filler fatigue, whether younger people should really be choosing surgery earlier, and why deep plane face lifts continue to be the gold standard for facial rejuvenation. They also talk about how AI is starting to show up in patient education and virtual care and why nothing can replace a surgeon’s trained eye, experience, and human judgment when it comes to great results.
