    State Spotlight

    Florida's Findings

    Florida places eighth with 478 average monthly searches per 100,000 residents, drawn from 108,166 total average monthly searches against a population of 22,610,726.

    The Brazilian butt lift leads the state with 19,533 searches per month, followed by blepharoplasty at 10,858 and breast augmentation at 6,517 average monthly searches. Florida is the only state in the top 10 where blepharoplasty outranks nose reshaping among the three most-searched procedures — a distinction that points to a stronger facial-rejuvenation signal in the Southeast than the national pattern suggests.

    Leading States

    State-by-State

    Washington tops the ranking with 560 average monthly searches per 100,000 residents, based on 43,728 total searches against a population of 7,812,880. The most-searched procedure is the Brazilian butt lift at 7,775 average monthly searches, followed by the breast lift at 5,953 and blepharoplasty at 3,925.

    California ranks second with 509 average monthly searches per 100,000 residents. Its total search volume is more than four times Washington's, at 198,320, but the state's population of 38,965,193 produces a lower per-capita figure. California's leading procedures are the BBL at 38,917, blepharoplasty at 19,875 and nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) at 13,450 average monthly searches.

    New York comes third with 505 average monthly searches per 100,000 residents, recording 98,784 total searches against a population of 19,571,216. As in California, the BBL leads at 20,350, followed by blepharoplasty at 10,708 and nose reshaping at 6,525 average monthly searches.

    Utah ranks fourth with 495 average monthly searches per 100,000 residents, on 16,907 total searches and a population of 3,417,734. The BBL leads at 2,967, followed by blepharoplasty at 1,525 and breast augmentation at 1,415 average monthly searches.

    National Trend

    Breast Procedures Draw Rising Attention

    Breast surgery interest is climbing beyond state-level search data. Searches for "breast surgery" have increased 69.5% since the beginning of 2023, and searches for "breast reduction surgery" rose 22% since December 2024, according to Google Trends.

    The state-level data mirrors that trajectory: "breast lift" or "breast augmentation" ranks among the three most-searched procedures in five of the top 10 states — Washington (No. 2), and Utah, Colorado, Florida and Georgia (No. 3).

    Commentary

    What the Experts Say

    "What the data shows is a market that is maturing in two directions at once. Body contouring still drives the volume, and the Brazilian butt lift remains the single most-searched procedure in every one of the top 10 states. But the rise of blepharoplasty to the No. 2 position nationally — and above nose reshaping in Florida specifically — tells us that patients are researching facial rejuvenation with the same seriousness they bring to body procedures. That shift matters for how practices in Florida and across the Southeast plan consultations, capacity and patient education over the next 12 months."
    Seth Semilof — Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Publisher, Haute Living
    "Search data is patient intent before it becomes a patient. When the Brazilian butt lift out-searches every other procedure in every one of the top 10 states, and blepharoplasty is now closing in on it in states like Florida, that is a roadmap for what practices should be publishing, and what they should make sure AI platforms and search engines can find and cite correctly. A Florida practice that is still built around body-contouring content alone is leaving the fastest-growing part of patient research, facial rejuvenation, to whichever competitor answers it first."
    Ronn Torossian — Founder and Chairman, 5W
    "What stands out in Florida is how strongly the Brazilian butt lift continues to dominate interest, generating more than 19,000 average monthly searches and comfortably outperforming every other procedure in the state. That is consistent with what we often see across the Southeast, where body contouring remains especially popular, but Florida's high search volume also shows growing interest in facial procedures. Blepharoplasty ranking second suggests that while body-focused enhancements still lead the conversation, there is also a broader shift toward facial rejuvenation."

    How the Study Was Conducted

    Methodology

    • A set of 300 cosmetic-surgery keywords — including "cost of tummy tuck," "blepharoplasty near me" and "rhinoplasty before and after" — was compiled from the procedures in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' 2024 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report.
    • Average monthly search volume for each keyword was collected over the trailing 12 months for every U.S. state using the DataForSEO API v3 (Google Ads Search Volume data).
    • Search volumes were aggregated at the state level and adjusted for each state's population to allow comparison.
    • The final ranking runs highest to lowest by average monthly search volume per 100,000 residents.

    Per-100k figures for Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Virginia and Georgia are calculated from each state's total searches and population.
