How It Breaks Down

Amongst the procedures we looked at, Botox is by far the most popular search term — possibly due to the effectiveness of branding campaigns like National Botox Day. According to AbbVie, the pharmaceutical giant behind Botox, half a million treatments were prompted by National Botox Day last year.

After Botox, abdominoplasty is the most googled plastic surgery. Commonly known as a “tummy tuck,” the procedure is meant to tighten the stomach area and remove excess skin and fat. Not to be confused with a gastric bypass, in which you have your “stomach stapled,” an abdominoplasty is most often performed following a significant weight loss, after pregnancy, or just to reduce the natural tummy “sag” associated with aging.

The next most commonly searched for plastic surgeries are the “nose job” and “boob job” — AKA rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, respectively. Finally, lip fillers is the fifth most popular procedure according to our research experiment.

While many have a glib view of medical cosmetic treatments, Florida residents need not be ashamed of their position as the American state most obsessed with plastic surgery. Attitudes are changing quickly, and according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 4 million people receive Botox treatments each year.
