Insights are uncovered based on millions of searches performed at RealSelf.com each month, combined with insider information from RealSelf community members who have had procedures done, and the expert doctors who perform them.

The "" -- a surgical combo of breast implants, tummy tuck, liposuction and more -- is a hot procedure and getting hotter, with online searches for this post-baby surgery up 13% over the past year. A poll conducted by RealSelf shows that, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, patients experienced a boost in self-confidence (up four points), attractiveness (up three points) and sex life satisfaction (up two points).
Dr. Paul Nassif, a well-known Beverly Hills facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and fan favorite on the "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," weighed in on Tinsletown's latest looks and celebrity feature requests. What's in? Dr. Nassif cites temple fillers and the Vampire FaceLift® -- a non-invasive facial treatment using the patient's own blood plasma. What's out? The "duck lip" and other overdone looks.
New non-invasive procedures to reduce cellulite and fat are seeing steep search volume increases. On RealSelf.com, in April 2012 there were more than 220,000 searches for ™, a new FDA-approved laser to melt fat, compared to just 40,000 searches the month before. ®, a new non-surgical way to reduce fat through precisely controlled cooling, has increased 36% in searches over the past year.
RealSelf polled 225 people, showing before and after photos of popular non-invasive skin treatments, to see which shaved off the most years. Thermage® led with an average guess of 6.91 years younger on the "after" photo -- slightly ahead of Ultherapy® and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). However, scores the highest in patient satisfaction and interest, boasting an 83% Worth It Rating by RealSelf.com reviewers, and consumer searches for Ultherapy are up a notable 21% on the site over the last year.
Curves are in, and RealSelf.com mapped search volume by state to identify geographical hot spots for the popular (there were more than 520,000 searches for this procedure in the first quarter of 2012 alone), as well as breast implants.
