States Searching Plastic Surgery Most & Least
Based on the results, it seems Michigan residents are generally less inclined toward plastic surgery, especially when compared to California and Florida.
It seems natural that Florida and California are first and second on this list with an average search volume of 86.3% and 81.7%, respectively. This explains the success and fortune of Dr. Miami, a world-renowned plastic surgeon who has consulted countless A-list celebrities and has grown a massive social following. Dr. Miami (real name Michael Salzhauer) runs one of the most successful American plastic surgery practices in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.
Another preferred destination for those considering plastic surgery is Beverly Hills, California, home to many acclaimed practices that will certainly cost you a hefty price. But many are willing to pay to be part of the Hollywood glamor that many celebrities chase.
As for the home of Michigan sports betting promos, this state can be found in the lower half of this list, ranking No. 37 with an average search volume of 55.5%. The general consensus would not consider visiting the beautiful Great Lake State for such dangerous procedures, specifically for cosmetic purposes.
